Agree about the view from most parts of the stadium as for the chips and hostile fans....probably the chips are more hostile , the fans having a few too many beers or just silly boys.

Big win for the Witches......

Ouch that's not many for a GP....smallest yet or maybe the New Zealand GP of a few years ago.

Agree goes some way in the answer to riders saying they cannot afford to ride in just one league.

A sad situation

Well that was a LONG meeting, over two and a half hours for 15 heats of Speedway, some delays were obviously un avoidable but still far to long for a meeting. (Probably not as long as the match at Glasgow though!) Delays included. Blue Light fault in Heat 1 Crash in Heat 2. Tapes fault Paramedic attending to a rider Re starts Riders missing two minute warnings Rider getting warned then excluded in the same heat Sun break. Apologies if I have missed any.....back to the meeting, looking at the Redcar line up in the programme I thought they would take all the points last night but the Comets hung in and grabbed a much needed win to boost the confidence in the camp. Cook was superb only being beaten in ht 15 by Barker, team riding superbly in heats 10 and 13 to grab 5-1s on both occasions, oh and a super fast track record in heat 1! All the team rode well and chipped in with some good points, especially pleasing to see Matt Williamson getting some much needed points on the board. Hopefully James Sarjeant can cure his starting problem because its losing points money for him and the Comets. On another note the crowd numbers were very low tonight, maybe just peak holiday time, but worrying all the same.

Redcar have a solid side and two decent reserves... another tough night on the way ....45-45!!

Have some of the Poole riders refused to ride.

Not sure yet if Craig Cook is riding, will also need a NL guest at reserve , hope we can re group and get a win after last weeks home defeat against Scunthorpe. Workington Comets v Redcar Bears 12/08/2017 7:00pm Championship. Things in the Speedway world on a bit of a downer at the moment.....Speedway when its good can be one of the best sporting occasions to attend...but can also be just as likely to shoot its self in the foot on too many occasions too. Lets hope we have an exciting meeting like the one recently against Glasgow.

55-35

Seems to be a new craze in warnings and re starts . Spoiling meetings.

Another meet of guests and r/r something has to change.

Yep big score from Tero at reserve, probably gave them the edge , Tero loves it around Worky!

Better team won on the night....obvious statement I know !!

After last Saturday nights thrilling win over Glasgow Workington will be looking for a more comfortable victory over Scunthorpe if possible. Workington should be at full strength but there may be a doubt over James Sarjeant?

Belle Vue opening night..... TR rule.... Any long drawn out meeting 3 for starters!!

Knew before we set off the meet was off but had hotel and train tickets , still had a good day out in Glasgow, to be fair the rain did come around 3/3:30, so was probably the right decision , must have been some heavy overnight rain though to cal it off so early.

It's off

Mason Camptons Tr win over Lunna was a superb race

A great night of fantastic action and close score line, I thought the Comets were in for a good beating half way through but they fought back to win against a very tough aGlasgow side. Many thanks to the travelling Tigers fans who added to a exciting finale.

Weather Forecast looks a lot better now. Just checked again says showers now!!😐

So after the British GP break the Comets are back in action against the high flying Tigers from Glasgow, the Comets will again be without Craig Cook but will have Chris Harris as the guest. I,m not sure who the guest will be for Sarjeant but the Comets will need to be on their toes because the Tigers pose a real threat . The weather forecast at the moment is looking changeable....sunshine and showers all day then!! Hopefully we can get this meet on or we will be riding in November to complete the fixtures.

very funny but it's at times like these when riders need support not so much when things going well

missed Belle Vue meet on Monday due to aggravating a back injury.
