Doesn't matter what average still treble winners !!!

Yea that's it, but to make it rain before it got to tokens, can't remember if it worked or not

Dead easy comets 2018 treble winners

Can remember going to a world final there and said they put up fighter jets to spray clouds with chemicals to try and stop the rain coming

Got confirmation email right away then a link to print off tickets at home, so all printed off ready to go, hope you get your money back, tickets sorted

Sorry did not know about social club, may give it a look, how busy does it get ?

No bars near the speedway, so people will be drinking in city centre, in the UK lots of people head to a weatherspoons pub, in big buildings and cheap.

Also had a speedway rider at Workington in the mid 70's like this, Steve Watson was his name

As said book tickets asap, as for accommodation Manchester has the lot from basic to 5* a booking site like booking.com can help, in the UK the budget chain premier inn is good, with several hotels around Manchester, but the weekend that the speedway is on is also a bank holiday weekend, Saturday night in big cities work out fairly expensive, saying that I got a premier inn in the city centre for 2 nights for £150 for the room, 2 people, so not too expensive

Don't know if this has been said but Smetana rode in gp qualifier at Glasgow and scored 6 points and looked like would hold his own in most races. Good luck to the diamonds you still have a team to support, unlike me over on the west coast

Thanks Geoff to correct me, late nite memory not good after a few beers

Yes 1st April think was first meeting against Berwick,in the recent era, but speedway was held in Workington earlier than this at Lonsdale park think in the 30s or 40s

Wright a strange signing, was good several years ago over 7 point average, but last time I saw him ride at Workington 2015 ? he rode like a novice seamed to be scared of the track/racing, hope it works out for Wright and the diamonds, may make a decent reserve, but not sure if he likes rough oops brough park

Yea looking forward to watching speedway at Redcar,Berwick, Newcastle,belle vue, even Glasgow also doing gp at Cardiff and Warsaw, so got a busy season even though I have no home team, and FYI I did the same after 1981 when we closed then. How many away fixtures do you go to ?

Very sad comets no more but we went out with a bang , h18tory as they say, bet this thread winds up Glasgow (and Poole ) fans who thought comets are dead !! No team for 12 months yet we still get on the forums, Never will comets die , long live the comets, 3 times trophy winners, Glasgow where are you !!
