cometbaz Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Really sad news. Have to feel for the seven riders. They must feel that they've been badly stitched up. Rasmus will be pleased he followed the big money to Glasgow. He was slated for not showing any loyalty to Workington but that all seems a bit hypocritical now. Hope this isn't the end for the Comets.

comet49 Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 The Comets licence has been put on ice, so could return next year. Maybe a big if though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagy1 Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Sad news indeed. Feel for everyone involved. Couldn't of been an easy decision after building a team for this coming season. Hope to see you in 2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does but this has proven that the team was hired falsely, if you aren't sure of running you shouldn't be able to assemble a side, most if not all of those riders would have been snapped up months ago if they had been known to be available.

Weeyin Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Gutted for the riders and fans and for Laura who has given so much to the Comets, speedway is in a bad way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
