Workington Comets home meeting postponed - cumbriacrack.com

I'm guessing that the web site is maintained by a professional company who probably don't work over a bank holiday weekend, whereas it's much easier to post on Social Media any relevant news updates like they did announcing that Cookie would be riding on Sunday.

According to the Comets programme, the Workington v Ashfield fixture is Sat 4th May. Workington v Armadale is also on June 22nd, not June 29th

Match report and interview with the Comets Team Manager is here: Workington Comets second defeat in two days - cumbriacrack.com Cookie also posted a pictured of his badly swollen damaged thumb on his Instagram account with the comment "Off to A&E tomorrow to see what the damage is"

Yes it should be GT Tyres Comets, not GTS

Good set of interviews with the Comets management and some of the riders by John Walsh. 'We will shock a few teams I am sure' - Workington Comets rev up for Championship season - cumbriacrack.com They also show that a lot of what is written on this forum is speculation with regards to what the discussions are before riders sign for the Comets.

For me the 1981 World Final at Wembley (my first world final) was special not only because of those two races but also because of the atmosphere and noise the 92,000 crowd created watching racing under the lights at the old Wembley stadium. It is the only meeting I have been to where you couldn't hear the noise of the bikes due to the noise of the crowd and the air horns.

Workington Comets still waiting to complete final rider signing for 2024 - cumbriacrack.com

Yes, because it creates publicity before the meeting and increases the attendance at the meeting. If it didn't do either, then I would have thought that Ian Thomas wouldn't have booked any interval attractions.

Ian Thomas was regularly putting on interval attractions at Workington including Ken Dodd, Charlie Williams, Del Boy, a guy who dived into a small tank of water from a great height, Ice Speedway Bike lap record etc. He certainly new how to promote speedway.

In the 1970s Workington's good year was 1973 when they finished runner up to Boston in both the league and the Knock Out Cup, not 1974

Google Keighley Speedway. There are links to a Grasstrack programme from 1932 and to a 2002 remake of the Keighley & District Supporters Club badge for sale on eBay. There is nothing on the Defunct Speedway Track web site about a track being at Keighley.

Hi, I've had a look through the programmes I have for sale involving Peterborough in 1988/89 and it looks like there was a National Junior League (NJL) running in those seasons. I can confirm that Peterborough raced Ipswich at home on 31/3/89 in the NJL and the programme I have for sale is the referee's copy so contains the completed NJL scorecard for that meeting: PETERBOROUGH vs IPSWICH SPEEDWAY PROGRAMME 31/03/1989 (VERY GOOD CONDITION) | eBay Also I have the 20/08/1988 Stoke v Peterborough programme for sale where the junior team was scheduled to race but the meeting was rained off so the programme is blank: STOKE vs PETERBOROUGH SPEEDWAY PROGRAMME 20/08/1988 (VERY GOOD CONDITION) | eBay I hope this helps.
