Hate to say it but after tonightit looks highly unlikely the Comets will be back in 2108. Well done Edinburgh, Wells and Erik Riss were superb.

yes but has just reared its head at Belle vue.

Unbelievable!!

Stop complaining, its all in the best interest of Speedway.

Just imagine if Workington and Edinburgh were both needing points to reach the play offs.

This is a fact regarding the result.

Does not help matters when two of the top Comets are missing.

Some riders have al ready made plans for next year, Thomas Jorgensen at Kings Lynn, Lambert not riding in the Championship, Cook probably not in Championship if in the GP,s. Edit, Cook I suppose could ride for a Thursday or Wednesday night club in the Championship. Who knows?????

Comets v Monarchs, some riders, some guests, who knows.

This forum is more interesting than the Speedway at times.

Yes, thanks, I read that but thought they had made a mistake, looks a much bigger stadium.

Harris, Holder. Lambert. Nothing against these fine chaps.

What is the capacity of the stadium please.

Some great races that involved Chris Harris. Alfie Bowtell showed his inexperience when he skittled into James Sargeant, nasty crash ensued!

Mason Campton withdrawn tonight at Workington after two rides, nasty crash in his first ride.

Any news on the fixture with Workington is to be re run, November 5th?

Thanks Phil for putting into print the state of British Speedway and the feelings of most Speedway fans.

The Comets are up against their North East rivals on Saturday night the Newcastle Diamonds in what should be a close fought contest. Hopefully there willbe 14 riders on show not guests and r/r. The weather is looking a lot better for saturday after the heavy rain on Thursday and predicted showers on Friday.

I must admit sometimes it feels like I go out of habit rather than enjoyment. A few years ago I used to stand with a group of about ten people now its down to about four or five at best, a few weeks ago I was there on my own. My girlfriend usually goes but this season she usually spends more time on her phone or reading a book! Her reasons for not enjoying it as much these past few years, too much tractor racing, long drawn out meetings, no atmosphere and the racing is usually processional and fewer people in the social group who used to be there. If I do got away meetings its only to Glasgow, Belle Vue or Sheffield......I wonder why?

Ok.

Looks like more fixture chaos for both sides.

Promoters need to learn lessons from other tracks and other sports, maybe money is an issue but some things could be changed for the better with little or no outlay.
