Ty has just come back this weekend probably having the captaincy on top of trying to ride a bit too much for him . To me he’s a very focussed rider who wants to the job well , can be a bit grumpy at times but I think it’s his passion to win . What I did see last night was all the boys working as a team , jeering each other up before races, helping with bikes and Ty was included . The first time at DP I’ve seen Ty coming round for applause after his rides and actually waving at the fans he seemed very happy . These guys are doing so well I don’t see the need for negative posts of hearsay with no true facts . Great to see Rene, Rasmus and Nicolai in the bar who came in to us all giving them a rapturous applause ! Well done boys that was some team performance

CAN WE JUST LET THIS GO NOW, IT IS SO BORING - and yes, I am shouting. The fiasco that has been this seasons fixture list is not down to one man, one team, one promoter, one rider - almost everyone involved has been culpable in some shape or form and unless there is a massive shake up over the winter this brilliant sport of ours is going to disappear up its own tailpipe, in this country at least. I couldn't get to last nights meeting so don't know anything about any alleged incidents regarding Ty, but just find it disappointing that there is a negative post seemingly without any proof of any incident having taken place. Everything relating to the Comets should be positive at the moment with loads more to look forward to. We are in the play offs, already in one final and with another semi final to come. So come on lets all be positive, and see where it takes us.

Just like to congratulate everyone concerned with the club on reaching our first final since 2010. That's a long time so we should all enjoy it. We should all try and encourage as many ex and new fans as possible to attend the final and lets really get behind the team. In the early stages last night i thought lady luck had deserted us but i needn't have worried. It soon became apparent that we were much the stronger. Guest Ben Barker was just sensational and fully justified his booking for Dan while we still have a facility regardless of what happened recently. All the lads made telling contributions, we looked a real solid unit without a weak looking heat on the program. Jake Allen once again caught the eye following a first ride retirement. Pulled off some stunning passes especially the pass of Rene on bend 2 when there didn't look room. Steve Worrall was solid, won well from the front but didn't offer as much when he found himself behind. Jason Garrity was well below the level he has shown in the past as was Josh Auty who unfortunately took another nasty tumble at Derwent Park. Stefan Nielsen looked to be some way off his best form following a season of injury. Gino tried while Danny looked the rider who has struggled all season. Its a tough league this. I don't know of anything that may or may not have gone on behind the scenes last night but i hope any issues can be discussed and resolved to the mutual satisfaction of all parties. I was hoping for a few more at the meeting last night and no doubt if we had been riding against one of the more passionately supported clubs many more visiting fans would have made the trip to cheer on their team in what was a nicely set up tie. Speedway at this level has financial issues and if clubs promotions and fans don't support each other then what future does the sport have. Doubling up/down put a lot of riders out of a job so talks of reducing the number of riders within thise teams lucky enough to come to tapes in 2019 will only exacerbate the relative paucity of riders . Time for astute thinking because the changes in recent years haven't improved speedway or enhanced how it is perceived by the public as a well run and entertaining product. Just the opposite if anything. Up the Comets.

Great respect to danny phillips the lad knows the management dont wont him the fans dont like him yet he still turns up and does his best , last night other riders turned down programmed rides claiming bike troubles when it was clearly running young phillips just got on with it with little help that i saw from his team mates .

This is the downside of Play Offs. Yes they can mean big crowds and a ‘grand finale’ but when it’s a case of deciding league titles between teams full of guests it becomes a bit farcical.

the messiah of speedway should have knew/followed the rules you can't sack riders after the cut off date ,blame the messiah

I've been watching Speedway since the mid 60's and Woffinden is the best British rider I have seen, might have been others who could be brilliant on their day but I've never seen one as consistently great. Not only that he is the best 1st turn rider I've ever seen of any nationality. I'd struggle to think of any riders who were FAR better and he still has plenty of time to catch those who are only just ahead of him in my opinion. As for the GP it started off badly but improved and ended up being far better than I expected. Woffinden did what only the very best can do and pulled the wins out of the hat when it really counted. Without bad luck he'll be a well deserved 3 times World Champion. He has also matured into a Champion kids can look up to, you only have to see his response to the disqualification at the last round to know that, he must have wanted to scream and shout but didn't.

No it isn’t. When your partner goes off with someone else then bars you seeing your child completely, most would be devastated.

Great isn't it...Toilet rolls, a massive crowd, atmosphere, fans all together in club colours, chanting together....... Yes, its Polish speedway. Great.

Not according to Craig himself on the Glasgow facebook page , he has good strength and movement in his hand and expects to be riding next week dependant on the final diagnosis. It may well be correct he is out for the season but this sounds better than last night, we shall await news on Craig.

As El Adio says the team when complete has been a match for any one this season But a rider missing any time has made us so much weaker,,But although the end of season matches are not looking good for us..this team has given us great entertainment and have been a joy to support this season.......

Yep. This has all the hall marks of a typical Lakeside season.Ive lost count of the times the team have a good run in the league, make the play offs or get close to them then get cut down by injuries when it comes to the crunch. Nothing you can do about it, but it's frustrating when the cookie always seems to crumble the same way. It's been a really good team to watch this year with everyone chipping in with points, and it's a team that get in well and support each other. Once Kyle went out with that wrist injury Ithough the writing was on the wall, but I woukd like to finish the season with the team more or less intact. All very frustrating, but it's just the way the sport goes unfortunately.

Delivery by subscription is the way to go. It's cheaper, delivered to your door and arrives every week. I manage a rider called Archie Freeman, who has just won the 150cc British Youth Championship. I rang to pay my annual subscription on Thursday and asked the guy to send another copy of this weeks edition, because of the report of the meeting and to take it out of my subscription. I told him who the copy was for, and on Saturday Morning an envelope with 4 copies arrived free of charge. Many thanks to whoever it was for such a kind action. Don't get that from Asda or Sainsburys.

Perhaps Lindgren got his days mixed up as well.

Natalie Quirk is at least as good and probably a better and more knowledgeable presenter than almost all of her male predecessors. I'll agree that most of the pits interviews are bordering on banal, but who really cares if it is a male or female interviewer? All I want is sensible questions from someone who knows what they are talking about

Just out of interest how has Phillips held Godfrey at ransom? Godfrey tried to sack him after the cut off date had been made for changes I fail to see what Phillips has done wrong?

Why would any Lakeside fan want to travel to Rye to watch a patched up side of 6 riders. No thanks.

Anyone else notice Nigel explaining why Nicki P missed out to Lindgren for the 8th semi final, "because he had a dnf"? No Nige, it was because he scored a point less than Freddie!

Jeesh. People on here taking the P out of someones name, when the person themselves didn’t actually have a say in the matter. So Matt didn’t like the name his parents gave him so uses his middle name. So what? My wife hated the name she was given so uses her middle name. No big or small deal whatsoever. In fact not worthy of even mentioning.

Disagree on the banal side. She's the best lead presenter/interviewer we have had for a long time (regardless of sex). She is very knowledgeable, personable and fills in those llong gaps during grading breaks with Scott really well. Tatum adds good technical knowledge before, during and after a meeting. The only issue Sky and now BT have is Pearson, he's an awful biased and repetitive commentator. He's almost gone an entire season starting virtually every race with 'here we go' and saying 'well, well, well' at every controversial incident. A couple of seasons ago Chris Louis and Tatum commentated one of the play off semi's I think, and they did a very good job.

Blimey, haven't you worked out yet that it wasn't a meeting involving Scunthorpe that triggered the whole Friday fixtures thing? Speedy recovery to Josh Auty. He's been fantastic for Scorpions this season.

I thought that but after talking with him he came across as a decent bloke with the sport at heart !

Godfrey papering over the cracks . he done the dirty and will be remembered for a long time about his actions and the way he went about looking after HIS team and putting others in the mire . i dont have any respect for him at all .

No you couldn’t What a stupid statement to make.

If reports of broken wrist are true, I'm gutted for Belle Vue. much as I'd love Lynn to get to the final and win the title, not this way.
