2018 when Workington won the treble in the Championship we raced 3 meetings over the last weekend in October to get the finals finished, the outstanding league meeting was iced off. So the Shambles led by the bspa or whatever they call themselves today has been going on for 5 years and shows no sign of improvement . Maybe this could be top of the list in Tenerife, leagues and play offs MUST be completed by end of September

Harry said he was going to ride again as he knows how good he was in 2022, said he has got himself sorted out, so onwards and upwards for the kid. But with no NDL where is Harry and others gonna get racing time on bikes, the powers that be should have a plan to bring the young riders through the system !!! And it seems like the northern junior league has imploded as well

Happened a few times when agm was held in the uk

What I was told last nite at the worky end of season sold out presentation nite, was still lots of things to be decided/ confirmed dispite lots of previous talking could be an interesting promotors conference

Sam mcgurk just announced as 1st comet for 2024 happy with that

Yea up to worky along with the original cookie monster

Got to work to get cash for me holidays

Looking forward to meeting you at worky next year mr shovler when the mighty Poole come to town, but you will need a road map to find a place this far north if you come up, but as your quote you must av been up a few times if you know the track and which riders can ride the place

Just got to look at back issues of speedway star after the season has finished, several times it said Glasgow s "success" has cost a small fortune, even quoted after Poole threw the title away that the owners had invested over £3 million since taking over the club, yes Glasgow are still running but probably at a high cost to the owners every year.

Quite a lot of riders have good sponsors large and small all add up, these are used to cover machinery costs, travel money is paid by the promotion home and away, so points money is the riders pay, if you are the better rider scoring 8 - 10 points they could have a pay packet well of over £1000 a meeting, twice a week 25 meetings is 25k or more in just over 6 months, I have to work 40 hours a week 52 weeks a year for that figure. Yes the young riders have to start at the bottom on less money, but how many are full time speedway riders ?? Not having a go at the riders, it's a dangerous sport but they have to be reasonable when talking to clubs, just because this is in the comets section it applies to all speedway clubs. Thoughts anyone ?

Might be a secret

Good to see 2morrows end of season presentation and party nite is sold out, more fundraising for the club, will we hear some news about next season on the nite ??

All threads turn into Poole threads

One big problem with lowering the averages is the following year riders are on a higher inflated average then maybe not get a team place, As usual the ones in charge have no ongoing plan, do this one season, then do that another season, if they don't get their act together and have a 2/3 year plan speedway will bump along until no clubs are left !!

Does that mean the returning comets get 3 times the allowance as triple champions H18TORY

But they are getting a large % pay rise

And if rumours are correct most of the No 1's in teams now won't be in the league in 2024 (josh pickering ryan Douglas, sam masters etc ) so top money for a diluted product !!! Just hope fans will support a higher level speedway with weakened teams

Apparently 38 points and 1 rising star is gonna be the limit Sam mcgurk the rising star for me, can see luke going to Redcar or scummy, then we have just got to attract riders to make a team probably a lot will depend on race day/night if we get some lights

Was hungry so took the bait hopefully in 2024 when the comets and tiggers clash, i can meet some off hear who've i have had banter with over the years, just hope tiggers don't win

So being triple champions in 2018 do comets get 3 goes with riders with a dodgy average . H18TORY

Can we have Dan bewley on his 2018 championship average? Glasgow have form for getting riders on a dodgy average, so maybe the comets could

I wonder if the sponsor of heat 20 in the NDLRC a clue to the comets No 1

Exactly, then where are the many unlucky kids who don't get a rising star place gonna learn to get better if no more NDL !!! Once again lack of forward thinking by the bspa

Yea gonna be good when Mr shovler realises his beloved team has to be massively dismantled

If the rumours of points limit being 36/38 plus a rising star, think your beloved team will need major surgery to get under the limit
