Tripe away and that would also likely continue. Certainly not saying they will win a bean but the majority would still rank them top side "on paper" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two riders with a home away differential in excess of four and two more over two tells the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a side that on paper should have dominated the league (before they strengthened by signing Mulford) that's a pitiful excuse for not making the top 4 tbh. Imo the biggest underachievers in NL history - because they had the potential to be so much better! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neila Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 A good 1st signing, other tracks will not be happy,to miss this signing, if any comets fans have lost touch with speedway Luke was very good last year as a 15 year old , got a good future in front of him 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 Lets be honest Luke is one of the most influential signings of the winter, the signature every team wanted so expectation is now on Worky to deliver the rest of the side to match.

Agree a little bit. But just glad to have speedway back in Workington, but surely the point of the 3rd league is to bring young kids like Luke etc through the ranks,and onto hopefully bigger and better things ?? Personally I would like a team of up and coming riders gaining experience, rather than building a win at all cost team, but I know to attract a crowd you have to have a good mixture of both . Anyway good luck to all involved, looking forward to next announcement, up the comets UTC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
