So for the Comets last meeting of the season it sees them take on the Dukes of Edinburgh...will it be a case of unbeaten at home all season or going down to the champions elect. Or could be beaten by the weather which does not look good at this stage but things could change. The teams: 1.Wells 2.R/R Rusty Harrison 3.Bach 4.Hansen 5.Howarth 6.Williamson 7. Guest for Wethers. 1.Cook 2.Riss 3.Sedgemen 4.Woelbert 5.Masters 6.Branford 7.Clegg Not sure if this is the correct team order for both teams but should be somewhere near. 42-48......

Why do the moderators let this rubbish clutter up the Forum?

Well done Chris Harris, cannot understand all the people who constantly knock the guy, some of the comments after his success last night were very derrogatry, very strange and immature. Once again well done Bomber.

A great meeting with some very good racing, extra special mentions to Summers and Hansen!! Good to see so many fans come down from Glasgow and make for a good atmosphere, hopefully the Comets can maintain their un beaten run in the final match of the season against Edinburgh (gong to be another tough one).

Should be a good close meeting, welcome back Worky favourite Richard Lawson.

Have just heard on Facebook that the Northside Track has again suffered extensive damage to all facilities at the track including the air fence from vandals. This could mean the end of Speedway for the forseeable future at the track or may be forever. One thing is for sure however the mindless thugs who did this will never do anything with their lives.

Some riders, some bikes, some laps...hopefully a safe meeting for all.

Sorry my fault Harkess.....to tell the truth i was in two minds wether to write this topic in view of recent events, kind of put me off Speedway really.

Rather than dwell on the Alex Harkness interview i thought i would highlight the item in this weeks Star with Sale Sharks head of Media Dave Swanton. Dave at least comes up with some ideas about improving Speedway and dragging it into the 21st century , some ideas may take money to be invested other,s just hard work, an interesting interview nonetheless.

The reality is that most clubs are experiencing reduced numbers at Speedway for different reasons (cost/rules/stadia/promotion of the sport or many other forms of entertainment available) im not sure but to blame Keith Denham is laughable when the man put is heart soul and money in to keeping Workington Speedway alive.

The Comets take on the Bears of Redcar in this Premier League encounter at Derwent Park. The Comets will have rider replacment for Rusty Harrison and Richie Worrall guests for Kyle Howarth. Should be interesting....50-40.

Should be a close scoreline..... The Dukes of Edinbrugh to win the League or possibly Glasgow all depends when Masters and Kauko can return from their injuries.

From my point of view the Brady Kurtz incident was worse the the Josh/kyle crash, Josh and Kyle were having a very hard but fair scrap for second place when both got tangled up on the back straight. The heat 15 incident when Brady Kurtz ploghed in to Rene Bach and Richie Worrall was probably due to youthful exhuberance/inexperience or just recklessness!! Its very lucky that all three just walked away from the carnage. Some posters making comments about the meeting when they were not even present?

In this weeks Speedway Star Philip Rising puts the current situation of British Speedway in Black and White. What the fans have been saying for some years now , falling crowds , disjointed fixtures, teams that bear little resemblance to the fans idea of the team they support, etc. Significant changes must be made this year and a forward thinking plan put into action by the promoters as a whole to save the sport............or maybe its too late now.

I,m paying £200.00 a night for hotel in Cardiff in 2016. It is a nice hotel though, not a chain hotel.

Can see another close match or Sheffield win!! Hopefully like last week another good attendance, weather forecast is good so hope to see some travelling Tigers fans.

Peterborough or Somerset to win. Workington on paper are a solid side but i think we could finish either last or second!

That seems fair.

?

Fans have been saying this for years that promoters need to see the bigger picture and plan years in advance with changes.....having said that they can not drag fans through the turnstiles. Do not know how the finances of the NL are like but it seems most EL and PL teams are struggling to attract fans with maybe a few exceptions, Somerset, Poole, Wolves , Kings Lynn and Glasgow.

Worky v Newcastle on the 11th July this year, Lewis Kerr and Kenneth Hansen both off 15 mts in ht 3. Adam Roynon brave or crazy to get a point for Lakeside in his last ride, just as important as AJ,s win!! Get well soon Adam.

One of the few genuine sensible posters on the BSF. Glad you enjoyed the meeting.

Strange the ref and the clerk of the course say they never saw the incident...... Rob Godfrey "Fair enough a bit of fisticuffs after the race which is just "handbags" Speedway is lacking a bit of that nowadays in my opinion but this was stepping way over the line".......mmmm.

Do not like to be pessimistic but can see an away win for the Panthers.
