We go to Speedway to hopefully see our own riders if not injured, no offence to Dan and the others who are just trying to make a living and gain experience but it’s the fans and the teams chances of getting silverware that suffer. Hmmm I wonder why people are staying way from meetings.

So this Saturday night the Comets are up against the Sheffield Tigers who have gone through quite a sticky patch at home recently so will be out to claw a few points back if they can. The Comets need to at least win all their home meetings to be in with a chance of the Play offs. Weather for Saturday night keeps changing, currently the rain is due to come in some time on Saturday night, hopefully some time after 9:00 pm!!

Was that not the Koc. As for the Shield who knows?

Yes rain forecast for Friday and Saturday but still to early to predict

Will all the Speedway fixtures be completed by September 9th to meet the Play off criteria.

The decision could have gone either way......hmmm baffling As many others have said a great nights racing , I thought the crowd level was ok especially for a late start and running on an off night and with no continuity of the fixtures. Regarding the fixtures....it was always going to happen if we are to fit all the home matches in but running two home meetings on the same weekend in late August is not good for the fans or the promotion, well done the BSPA. Hopefully the weather will be kind or it could see us missing out in the play offs.

After many spare weekends of no racing at Derwent Park, the news tonight is we may have to run meetings on Saturday and Sunday of the same weekend to complete the home fixtures.

Sad news, RIP.

Guest who knows , NL rider who knows, averages it’s all numbers and magic.....ouch I sound like Jenga

Workington try again to kick start their season......will not mention the W word !! Ok , the Comets are up against a fairly strong Scunthorpe side which will probably see r/r or a guest for Rene Bach recently injured in Poland , not sure yet if Ty Proctor is fully fit after a crash at Poole on Wednesday.

it would be 500 for many clubs

Yes saw that on updates , at first it said he was up, after the crash then withdrawn from the meeting. Hope Ty is ok

Very brave, best wishes Rene.

Yes probably August the 9th.

Rene Bach injured , not sure of the extent yet, best wishes Rene.

I agree, as with Brexit no one thought it would happen

Qualified on merit as per rules.

Exactly..... here’s a poor fixture list at the start of the season....oh well change it....er no well change it again.

At least it wasn’t a League meeting.

Final decision at 18:00hrs...….

Last update at 17:00 says its still on, but many people reporting still raining.

Update from the official Comets Facebook page at 15:20 it’s still on

For quite a few years now.

Just a guess I would say Workington , Redcar and Newcastle .

Yes I think it’s early September about the 9th.
