No a full time speedway fan 😀 you just go round in circles down there 😜

Tony mole and Ian Thomas reopened the comets in 1999 opening nite crowd was over 5000 😲 the next few years crowds were very good with many away following stoney and co . Then the local guy Keith Denham after years of being main sponsor Thomas Armstrong bought the club,in 2007 crowds started to dwindle, then in October 2012 local lady Laura Morgan took over running the comets, unfortunately crowds were not the best at times, the comets ended in 2018 as treble winners 😄 but apart from the finals the crowds weren't great ,

Could have been a signing to save money, no points money to pay out 😜

Slater Lightcap out scores will cairns in the GP 2 meeting 😜😄

Comets were reborn in this era by Andrew Bain who transformed the old Northside training track into the fantastic arena and racetrack it is now, in 2023 ran NDL was going to be a 2nd season of NDL until Godfrey and co disbanded the set up as was. Comets went into the main league in 2024 crowds were ok ish, think the problem this year was the very disjointed fixtures, weeks between meetings,

Sad day for comets fans but to be honest not surprising, as I think only 1 meeting reached a break even crowd, others were a bit away from the level required. Thanks to Andrew Bain and back room people for getting us this far, thanks to the many sponsors big and small, as without them we would not have got this far.🔵⚪🏁. Gonna put a lottery ticket on to try and help the comets out

They signed a young German world champion well SON 2 champion, but has not done very well

Got a youth championships round after the meeting, think it may be the 500cc class

Did you watch the same meeting as me ? It was fooking awful 😞

Can I wake up now is the meeting finished 😜

Nagel has GP2 meetings and Poland to fit in, so can't see him signing

Obviously nothing been taken on board by them in charge over the last 10 years. But we do have a squad system these days, guest / A N Other is in all teams 😜

It does say in Glasgow s statement that he won't be back in 2026

And before he had a bit of a haircut he looked very much like a danish viking

But lightcap scored 11 in the GP 2 qualification meeting, see how he does in Lodz on Friday

Hope he's banned for them meetings as well 😜 surly he is with holding his services in the UK by riding in Denmark, and the rules are a 7 day ban for this type of thing. But rules seem different for Poole

Here we start again 😜

Maybe not but I am just putting out a realistic name into the equation, especially when the young kid has said he wants to ride in the UK and been in talks 😄 What name are you putting into the hat @foreverblue

Well within the official rules as you well know @lewy 😄 but pilots have managed to keep that underperforming / injured rider on a 5 point average when his true average is just over 3 points, so a decent guest can be used, until another rider takes up the £s offered to ride in lots of end of season fixtures, my guess could be slater lightcap, but not until mid August so he won't get a true average

Not a regular rider in Britain, the top 8 averages from last season qualify to be seeded to the final, the other 16 ride in a semi final, so that is the reason Cooper Rushen got a wildcard entry, as he did not have an average as only turned 16 this year

Bus from Piccadilly bus stops £2 each way, 201, 202+203 bus , stops a 5 minutes walk from the track,takes around 10/15 minutes depending on traffic and stops, buses run every 10 minutes during the day every 15 minutes in the evening. I had no problem using the bus for both days of the GP

If you think this situation is bad, wait until next season, as if rumoured Poland introduce a Poland + 1 other league rule for any rider in the first 2 polish leagues 😲. So say Mr Lawson or A N Other signs for a polish team, he could only ride for 1 of Poole, Ipswich or Denmark. How will the British leagues cope with no double uppers, or no Danish riders as the will ride in Denmark for sponsorship.

10 +2 for Northampton tonight good old batch proves the doubters wrong again 😄

Oh dear the pilot fans are in meltdown over the rocket man seemingly pleasing himself which team he rides for on a Wednesday 🤣. Tell you what why don't you all protest outside the stadium and don't pay to get in maybe the Fords may take notice, then again maybe not 🤣
