A.N.Other

Tony Jackson represented the Comets at the AGM in Chepstow.

You are correct that the BSPA have allowed the club to put their licence on ice (for this season anyway). But if the club had not acted quickly enough and notified the BSPA that they wish to do this asap...then the BSPA would have closed the club down, virtually without warning ! That is why Laura had no choice but to put it on ice as soon as she did ! (What a lovely bunch of chaps the BSPA are !)

I think Northside track is now closed down ? There hasnt been anything mentioned about any activities there for some time. Unless anyone knows to the contrary ?

She has already stated in as many words, that no buyer has come forward. And can you really see the BSPA allowing such a move, when it involves ANYTHING that might just possibly HELP Workington Speedway Club ?

They will have to clear their debts, to assure the BSPA they are viable to run again in the future.

Some of their drivers are a bit iffy though !

YES IT WAS !!!!!

I think we all appreciate you "coming to the fore" again THJ..thanks for explaining what your proposals were and how they were affected. (For those that are still trying to work it out..."LLP" stands for "Limited Liability Partnership" unless I stand corrected ? . Go wikipedia it. Cheers

Yup !!

Yeah...I also heard the very same thing. (!!).

I am not sure just how much faith the Comets, as a club, are now putting in that statement from the council ? As we all know, humans can SAY all sorts of things, to make themselves or their employers sound helpful ! But in reality.......................................

Hmm...a VERY interesting remark. Could it have hidden meaning ??

I didnt know you need INK to type a message on the net ? Hmm...he must have a very unusual computer den. Lol.

I am just a bit "curious"..but THJ started postings at a frenetic rate when he joined this forum...up till a few weeks ago, and all of a sudden...he posts hardly anything ! Is there something we dont know about perhaps ? Just a bit odd after we all got used to constant postings from him.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....I LOVE IT ! Well, it wont be a problem to them...there's an airport not too far away, at Bournemouth, so they will prob charter a 747 and fly all fans and riders down there.

Our final TWO signings for 2019 will be announced TONIGHT at 5pm. Must be one of the quickest team signings we have had in recent years ?

Oooh....thanks...didnt know I was signing for ya's !! (Letter must be delayed in the post...Xmas and all that !) Lol.

Its funny that you should say that, as I heard the same thing directly from a speedway manager the other day ! He said there is a rule that says each club has to own so many riders, but I cant for the life of me remember how many it is ?

Better make sure you have a PLENTIFUL supply of spare tapes if Mr Sarjeant signs for ya !

I can assure you that IF (a big ask) Dan Bewley is fit for the 2019 season, very few teams in the championship would risk having him in their squad. Why ? Well because he would be involved in sooooo many individual competitions that he would be missing from a lot of meetings. (Not to mention his foreign commitments !). You are probably right in that Rene Bach wont sign for the Comets, but equally he might not sign for ANYONE...rumours are that : a) He wants to spend time with his newborn to be (Due in April) b) He could have BIG probs being released from his job in Denmark. Apparently it proved very difficult in 2018, but somehow he managed it, but I suspect it may not be as easy for him in 2019 !

Could you possibly write that again in "Queens English" please ? Lol.

Geoff...Dan will NOT be returning to Workington in 2019. If (and at the present time thats a BIG "If",) he is fit to ride in 2019, he would have far too many individual commitments with other competitions both home and abroad to make it practical for him to ride here. He would be missing from our 1-7 far too often ! Sorry to disappoint !

I an not a Brum supporter, but have speedway "connections" indirectly shall we say. I was talking with a person who is "in the know" tonight, and his opinion is that the lack of any communication is not good news for Brum , and he feels that its looking like they have had a change of mind, and are now possibly staying put. I hope for you guys you find out soon, even if its not good news, at least you will then know. Good Luck Guys !

Yeah, but he has to factor in the cost of a bottle of water at Scotch Corner Services Geoff (!!) (I wonder if their profit margin is as good as some "retailers" of bottled water ? )
