Thought he may have signed when he wasn't back at Glasgow i'm feeling a bit miffed off after hearing that. I would rather he said he got a better offer. He should improve again next season so will be a good rider again for you guys . Not until 2018 when they tried to pull a fast one & ride some on Friday's Oops! I'll get me coat.

You don’t seriously think he would turn down Tigers for Comets in his present situation.Sincerely hope Workington get a competitive Team assembled.Given the work done by the present Promotion I’m sure they will ,but obviously they have a budget to work too.The track will produce some great racing and entertainment so just enjoy the speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neila Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) Talking of assets, do teams still have to have some assets before they ride in the league ? As comets went bust in 2018 and any assets, I think went to the bspa. That would mean the comets have no assets, so may have to sign riders as well as agreeing a deal for said riders to come oop north to ride for the Comets To clarify the comets did not go bust at the end of 2018, in fact had a team signed up for 2019 season, but had to pull out of the league at short notice, due to promised sponsorship/funding not arriving in time to commit to a full season, so unfortunately had to withdraw from the league Edited December 12, 2023 by Neila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only positive in having assets is they are offset against your bond held by the BSPL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
