I can confirm Barker guests for Bears. Diamonds also bring in a guest. Lasse Bjerre is ill and James Sarjeant comes in. R/R for Thomas Jorgensen.

Coraldon Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 The Boro has had 18 hours of heavy rain, how is it up there, will it affect the match as the weather is supposed to improve from this afternoon with SUN shine coming.

A supposedly prestige event ends up a scratch challenge fixture made up of whoever is left standing/can be bothered and prepared to ride on a rain sodden track, whilst the punters freeze their nuts (or equivalent) off in the bitter cold and wet. And the promoters wonder why nobody turns up. Of course it's all the fault of the weather...... I'm a supporter of 30+ years and now can't be bothered to go to a nicely poised Cup Final 2nd leg against our local rivals!!! Shambles. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a fellow Comets fan you really have let the side down there. The clue is in the name... " DOG TRACK COVERS" i.e. NOT speedway covers.
