Yes that is true.

Redcar Bears will be out for revenge on Saturday afternoon in this tough home meeting for the Comets. Hope Celina is fit for this meeting. Footnote : I could have titled this meeting Comets/Bears...... but we do things differently in the Championship.

Aberdeen !!

I hope to be there just on the Saturday night if we can purchase tickets in the seating area. If not then will watch on tv.

Similar line up for a GP and on a good track , so £85.00 is about right , but I can see if paying for a family could be prohibitive .

Here is my thoughts for what it’s worth , I was not at Redcar last night for the Worky win but it seems many Redcar fans are jumping the gun already about team changes. I believe this is the teams first home meeting , so very early days to be making changes and it’s not even a League match that was ran last night. I predict a top four finish for Redcar in the League and still stand by this.

Well done Worky , great result, hope Celina is ok.

Hearts/Cougars.

Sad news RIP John Louis.

Meeting postponed up to 70 mph winds .

Pumas/Spades

Another tough meeting for the Comets when the Scunthorpe team come to town , a team that I predict could get top four in the League this year. Lets hope for another big crowd coming down to the GT Tyres arena on Saturday afternoon and the first win for the 2024 Comets.

Poole Scunthorpe Redcar Glasgow Berwick Oxford Workington Edinburgh Plymouth Poole look very strong but top four could be of a different order.

We can all be negative at times but in Speedway and life in general it is far healthier to concentrate and celebrate the positives. It is all to easy to criticise and I have been guilty myself but it is important to support riders and the team as a whole , even more so when they may go through a difficult time. Breaking news: Riders are human beings .

Well what can I say after that showing I,m not going back to watch the Comets again......... Stopped reading the posts half way through....what do people really want. Here is what I witnessed , great racing , a big crowd and good weather. Some fine prospects who are already showing that in the future are going to be stars in the sport. Celina and Sam along with Antii and Tate are new to the championship will take time to adjust to the tracks, Cookie , Claus and Batch all showed fighting spirit. Berwick have a decent side and may get some silverware this year but I,m more than happy with the Workington side, optimist maybe , realist definitely. Most of well done to the management and all who help putting on the Workington show.

Not sure of our average crowd last year , maybe 500 /600. The track is on the site of the old Northside training track and is around a 30 minute walk from the town centre .

The Comets are against local rivals Berwick Bandits in Workington's first meeting of the season after the Ben Fund fell foul of the weather. Hopefully it will be dry and the racing will be good , oh and a home win too.

51-39

Not too bothered going to be an entertaining team, hopefully winning at home and gradually getting better away, some tough away fixtures this season .

Weather not too bad in the morning (tomorrow) but cold, then wet in the afternoon.

Personally the swearing did not bother me but imagine if this was a Football, Cricket or Rugby Union media day, I get Tai has a outgoing personality and given this maybe Phil Morris should have had a word with the riders beforehand to highlight that this is going out live.

Yes , mostly grass and some gravel. Hopefully the rearranged date will go ahead and still attract a good crowd. Sunday 24th March at 2pm.

Ben fund off rescheduled for the 24th March.
