The NDL is vitally important in my view. Last season Worky were apparently led to believe there would be no NDL so were more or less forced to go Championship only to then find a weaker NDL remained. It was good to hear Oxford confirm there committment to the NDL on wednesday although more teams are definitely required along with initiatives to get more youngsters into the sport at lower cost.

It will be a shame if Antti doesn't return beause I would expect him to increase his away average next season now he knows what the tracks are all about, maybe with the exception of Berwick which seemed to phase him big style. He has appeared to be nothing other than professional so much so that I can't remember him having a mechanical failure in Comets kevlars. Much may depend on what if anything happens for him in Poland. Looking in from the outside I would say he has been very well looked after by the Worky promotion. 👍👌

I don't know Connor well enough to be comfortable with doing that on social media. Information on here isn't verified so no I don't expect it to be 100% accurate even though i'm sure a lot of is. It is after all a forum where views and ideas can be exchanged among like minded people having speedway in common. 👍

I wonder if Connor has been back on a bike since his departure, probably not if he has sold his equipment. Doesn't seem like the actions of a young man who believes he wants a future in the sport although I would like to be wrong .

Haven't watched from there yet but I bet you get a good view of the riders coming off turn 4.

1. 56.1 2. 57.7 3. 56.2. 4. 57.0 5. 56.6 6. 56.2. 7. 56.3 8. 57.5. 9. 56.8. 10. 56.5. 11. 57.4. 12. 57.0. 13. 56.9 14. 57.8. 15. 57.7 Heat 12 time was missing in my program Rob but managed to get it from a friend.

Thank you Weeyin for those kind words, it has been great to be back. Not sure about any Worky fans disliking you guys, for me personally the Tiggers Fans, Club and Track are top notch and an exemplar for eveyone else to follow. See you next season 👌👍

You auditioning to be the new Mystic Meg 🤣

Might be the new Beach Boys number 😃

Sure you will dip into that off shore account of yours and make a hefty donation if the events are finance related 🤣👍👌

It also allows a fancied rider to have a bit of bad luck and still have a chance of winning which is pro for this format

Enjoyable meeting lots of good races but little excuse for the track being so dry. Moisture was only skin deep so there was heavy dust from the get go , we had to move from the back straight the dust was that bad. Well done Josh Pickering for making that outside line work in the final to beat a very fast Ben Cook. Big well done to Antti Vuolas, whom I didn't expect too much from today but he performed admirably to make the final.

Agree. Fans don't turn out like they used to either not convinced BSN is a good thing at such meetings. Wonder how Speedway will have gained financially from the streams paid for today and how many fans didn't bother going because it was streamed ?

Now the first and may I say mostly very enjoyable first season back in the Championship is over I believe it would be a very good idea for the club to generate a supporter feeback form on their social media were fans can feedback on what they think the club is doing well and what they wish to see improved.

Absolutely. It happens every year now riders pulling out for no real reason. Time the governing body tightened up on this. This was always a big prestigous meeting with a new bike for the winner. Alot of riders appear to care little for fans or promotions these days and are playing a big part in the fragile financial viablility of British Speedway with less than healthy crowd levels at most tracks.

Well done lbw top fan 👍

I don't know what Comets will get financially from BSN for reaching the playoffs. At £42-99 for a 6 meeting Championship Playoff Pass its not hard to envisage how this could have a detrimental impact on attendances.

Great to see young Luke Harrison riding so well last night. To think he was in the same team as Sam McGurk at Worky last season. His progress has been phenomenal, as a Worky fan I wish I was writing the same about Sam.

Gonna be some great match ups today, hopefully we can find something to take it down to the wire then take it in heat 15 😃👍👌UTC

just enough precipitation for natural watering of the track, conditions should be spot on for some great speedway.👍

makes a nice change to get a mention albeit brief.

Cracking meeting, was hoping for a Scunny win to make the second leg more interesting. Young Luke Harrison showed some of his senior riders up tonight well done young Skywalker. MPT is an enigma these days. Congrats to Oxford who fought back well from 10 down with some determined racing.

Very good guests , Charles brings his A game to these occasions and is a real battler as is Dan Thomson. That is definitely the mind set we will need Saturday. If Jason can avoid any last places we could give the Pirates a real scare. I would take a 4-2 to the Comets in a last heat aggregate decider 😀. Come on you Comets seize the day 👌🤙👊

yeah I believe that the current Worky airfence is a combination of those previously used by Scunny and Newcastle Diamonds.

Shocking ref.
