Workington v Edinburgh 29/09 7:00pm koc 2nd leg


Recommended Posts

Comets fans were understandably down on Friday night but what a difference a day makes,also very refreshing to read other teams best wishes,I know we give and take a bit of banter but we're all speedway fans at the end of the day,and the unexpected sometimes happens like last night,which is why we love our sport so much, and with worky on the verge of something special,which comes round very seldom, and maybe won't again no-one can begrudge us savouring it

Couldn't make it last night due to family 'last supper'/taking youngest to uni. today, but what a turn around, I, like probably everyone else did not expect that.

Full marks to the Comets for a performance which must give them confidence for the further challenges that lie ahead.

I must admit the thing that has struck me is how genuine the good wishes seem to have been from seemingly everyone, but particularly from the Monarchs fans who must have been gutted, but who have been so magnanimous in defeat. A big thank you from us Comets and it only goes to prove that whilst the banter does possibly occasionally appear to overstep the mark it is banter and we (the supporters) are part of one speedway family.

it was just what was said on the updates .. only quoting those words . hope that explains everything for you .

Fine by me,  which shambles are you referring to floodlight failure or a referee who doesn't see animation on the starting grid and thinks if a rider comes from fourth place and finishes a wheel length of the rider in third place then he should still be classed as in fourth place. Shocking refereeing performance although he did thank everybody for there patience whilst waiting for meeting to continue , just a shame he didn't apologise for his dreadful performance and having the patience to put up with him for so long.

as we are all humans , we all get things that dont go according to plan. humans fail in every aspect of sport, weather and dare i say it , BREXIT. well done BORIS , you sold us all a dummy there buddy and now we are going to pay for it !

whats done is done and nothing can change it . except money !  the word shambles was written on the updates site a few times , so only going from that .

Good report in the 'News and Star'......hopefully it stirs up the interest of former Comets fans.....pity no fixture this weekend keep the momentum going tho.

Yes its a shame there is no fixture this week when the spirits are high, hopefully we will have a dry October , can still see a double header with Lakeside though.

Well done Comets , that was some comeback, shame that it has been difficult to get all your fixtures in , as you are the best team in the league this year and should come away with some silverware by the end of the season, I do hope that we can spoil your Party by puting you out of play offs , but that is subject to my team stepping up, which is unpredictable,  if the comets put us Tigers out , then I hope you go on and win the treble, you deserve it.

Would you like Custard, Cream or Ice Cream with that Humble Pie

You nearly got your wish when Worky got "Humped" up at the Dale

Pity they whizzed on your parade as hearing your contrite comments would have been intriguing to say the least

Well pardon me for congratulating you, I am a speedway fan in general and dont mind the Comets team but some of the comets fans are as bad as some of the monarchs fans, I even remember our bus getting its windows smashed some years back when Tigers were down in Workington, I was giving credit where credit is due but obviously that is not accepted by your fickle fans.
