The aim is to have an official club launch before Christmas... the web site is good to go so once the launch happens WorkingtonComets.com will go live... still a lot to do track wise from now til Easter(ish) start meeting and we may have to start off with the site running on generators as Nor-Web aren't making any friends by dragging their heels on the installation of the new electic supply to the track... local MP Mark Jenkinson got a special mention for all the effort he was putting in to make things happen along with Allerdale Council... nice to have some friends...

Entry prices and corporate package proposals are being worked on and the team manager has the team lined up and contracts will be put in front of riders very soon... AGM team build points limit depending...

Supporters club and the Friends of Workington Speedway will be resurrected in some form or other... and the VIP sponsers box will be open to all... not just companies for corporate entertainment...

First meeting... the track... the ground and finance were discussed in full and a dozen other issues were parked until after the NDL AGM however there is still a great deal to do before we turn a wheel at Northside.... but the will is there to make it happen and be a success...

Regards

Steve Lawson is grey enough and every time someone mentions stock cars you can see another one turn grey in front of your eyes...

So at present I can say with confidence there won't be stocks on the current track...

However you should never say never but in this case as long as Steve remains track curator it won't be happening on his watch...

Been told 7 are certain to start

Belle Vue

Leicester

Berwick

Edinburgh (Armadale)

Oxford

Kent

Workington

-------

Plymouth unlikely to run dus to rider availability issues (may consider alternative night to Tuesday)

Mildenhall (serious misgivings after some issues last season with Track / Weather / late Call Off's affecting Crowds and viability)

Would seem that Mildenhall + Plymouth will make final commitment at Meeting early next week.

 Nearly right. 

Plymouth out

Mildenhall to confirm or not

Bit surprised about Armadale, hopefully they and Mildenhall find solutions

Complin has had his day nothing to gain by giving him a team place.,and no connection to west Cumbria, where as if Adam roynan was to sign, yes I know he has been around a bit, but has  got Workington connections, another I would like to see is Archie Freeman and it may encourage some diamonds fans to have a run over on a Saturday afternoon

My first attempt at a team

Workington  
Kyle Bickley 9.58
Lee Complin 7.27
Luke Crang 7.23
Ace Pijper 6.90
George Rothery 4.92
Gregor Miller 3.07
Kyran Lyden 3.00
Total 41.97

Rothery and Millar shown zero commitment and complete waste of places. Can't see Pijper anywhere other than Berwick. Sadly the higher points limit is going to expose the disparity between the top and bottom ends again this season.

Don’t know why Bickley would want to hang about in NDL,must be worth his while for some easy money.Not really improved in last 3 seasons.
