BobC Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 I believe Campton flies home on Tuesday so that he can ride in the Aussie Champs on the Saturday. Another with average/visa problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlislecomet2 Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 So sorry for any that travelled any distance, particularly the away supporters such as falconhammer. Just got home myself. That's another reason for the Comets to move to Carlisle - its a far better climate, dry as a bone here (and warm) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Whoever played "Walking On Sunshine" I'm afraid the ritual to stop the rain didn't work, even if Katrina and The Waves did sing their heart out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be a real disappointment for him to miss out, and even worse for him to miss out on a visa for next season! Especially after the hoops he jumped through to race for the Comets this season Expand The PL threshold is 6.25 and his GSA is 6.57 so he should be OK.

Expand He could be just giving himself a couple of chances maybe! As for Ty, he needs to reach 7.00 to get his visa for next year as far as we are all aware! I’m sure there’s some way he can manage to work it out! Hey maybe one of us might have to marry him to get a visa hands up....THJ?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not then he's got the NSW, Queensland, SA & WA Championships plus the nationals. If all else fails he can pop over to NZ and win that one.

We had dropped Bjarne Pedersen (he was doubling down for Newcastle at the time) off at 5.30pm in glorious sunshine, for a British League fixture between the Falcons and Poole, but when we left the pizza restaurant at about 7pm it had hammered down!

comet49 Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Unfortunately that’s speedway, only reason we’ve been Cardiff more than once is the roof. Shame the NSS at Belle Vue doesn’t have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand A Comets meeting at Exeter was once live on Radio Cumbria, Stoney did pretty good considering he thought the best way to improve it was to blow it up. Can’t remember exactly what the meeting was but if two legged I’d guess Comets got through. Exeter, another of the tracks gone. Never went but did go Long Eaton years ago.
