Very sad comets no more but we went out with a bang , h18tory as they say, bet this thread winds up Glasgow (and Poole ) fans who thought comets are dead !!  No team for 12 months yet we still get on the forums,  Never will comets die , long live the comets, 3 times trophy winners, Glasgow where are you !! :)

Ok, I'll bite

Why would it wind up Poole fans? I can't recall there being any bad feelings between the two clubs :blink:

I for one am sad when any track has to close :(

How do Workington have a section on this, they were a championship side but they will never come back . The promoter messed up so many people this time last. year people like Steve Worrall and when the comets went others got involved ie 

Nike Luna who lost his team place at Newcastle due to the debacle of the Comets promoter .

hope they come back in the future but it will never happen so Moderaters  put this topic out of the Championship section please

Nike gave his spot up last year at Newcastle causing others to lose there spots and giving Newcastle opportunities to bring in riders affected by the demise of Workington

Correct. Lunna decided to take time as he was with a new parter in Thailand I think. As to happened at the same time Worky were declared as not running so Newcastle grabbed Stevie W, but had to release Victor Palovaaro and then look for a lesser rider. That turned out to be Simon Lambert whose average fitted well and he also fancied the opportunity to finally overcome his reservations about riding at Brough.

U could say that about alot of clubs,what goes around comes around, if a club reports a loss of a £ 100,000 in a season does that not make them riddled with debt?

All depends if they have other business ventures and they use the loss at any other venture as a tax loss , happens all the time in business.

Yea looking forward to watching speedway at Redcar,Berwick, Newcastle,belle vue, even Glasgow also doing gp at Cardiff and Warsaw, so got a busy season even though I have no home team, and FYI I did the same after 1981 when we closed then. How many away fixtures do you go to ?

Anybody know what Mason Campton is doing these days .Has he retired?

 

I dont thnk he has retired officially but he and his partner are expecting their first child in 2020 so I would imagine he would be staying in Australia for the forseeable future

Glad you are still enjoying speedway after the closure. Since you ask, I'm a season ticket holder at Berwick. A mixture of finances and family circumstances mean I get to very few away meetings, but I did get to Cardiff and Wroclaw this year. Probably much the same next year, minus the GP's.
