40 mph average wind speeds gusts upto 55 mph now would you like to ride a speedway bike with 3 other beside you at 60 mph in this wind ?? And forecast locally to get stronger in the next 3 hours

Car park was soft last week and getting muddy on main access exit points, hope the tiggers fans don't get stuck for too long anyway

A big gap now where the pits and pits gate are on bend 2, this area is by passed by the spectators to access bend 1 and starting straight you go out and round the back of the pits, but hopefully next year you will be able to walk round bend 3 + 4 to access starting straight and bend 1 +2

Comets have posted a video on Facebook showing the trees on the back straight swaying a lot and wind howling

Wind speed average 42 mph gusts 55 mph at St bees head 10 mile from northside GT Tyres arena, and as its next to the sea the wind strength will be similar

I live 1 mile inland from the track and the wind has considerably strengthened since this morning been out for me walk, and in the big gusts, I got blown about, imagine this on a bike at 60mph with 3 others beside you, besides the sea in an exposed arena !!! Also been another extremely soggy week in West Cumbria, granted its dry today, track may have been ok but the car parking could be very soggy, was soft last week. Think the correct decision was made, these days elf and safety rules everything . One major event called off locally due to high winds is the festival of light, where walkers light up the path on catbells, a popular mountain overlooking Keswick . Most people disagreeing about the postponement do not live in the area and don't realise how bad the wind is now getting

Probably wanting a home track advantage Mr Godfrey cheating again

Unfortunately that's been coming all night

Was correct about the soft bit/bump in the track

Watching on stream 30 minutes delay, but that soft spot looks very iffy, hope the riders stay safe, and this at the track of the year,over seen by Mr Godfrey the bspa chief executive. what a shambles

No the 3rd 4th bend is the opposite end to the pits

It will be better next year, as the 3rd 4th bend area is being filled in to carry on banking all round the GT tyres arena,

Wot about your worky friends H18TORY and all that

Point is the said rider was well in the mix, some people on here think the rider is miles behind and off the pace, which on Sunday proved some people wrong, got to remember when worky were accepted into the league in mid November, Godfrey and Co had signed up most of the riders weeks/months earlier , so some out of the box thinking was needed to get a team, at least Celina is keeping the comets in people's minds, wait till antti gets settled in, he is something special, just hope Glasgow don't tap him up

Surly you can't count the Peter craven meeting, she got invited and took the gig, several others in the premiership and championship would not score against the level of riders in that meeting . Also was leading Rory for 2 laps at northside, and Rory has 15 years more experience

Unless it was an Aussie called "the next darcy ward" Well that certain aussie came from a fair bit back in 4th place to win, blasting round the outside was a joy to watch

Sunday was the 1st time competitive racing at this level was ran at GT tyres northside arena, so all riders started at a level playing field, some of the berwick riders have been practicing at the track several times in the last couple of years . All worky riders will get better with more competitive track time

As I previously posted a reply, to this, most riders new to speedway now come from Moto X

So your saying the other clubs(s) that had approached Celina were after publicity points rather than trying to fill a team place ??

Was coming down from worky for this but all forecasts look crap, so unfortunately gonna stop at home and save me pennies for comets away trips

Some positives from today, Tate and antti both look like they are going to be good riders at this level, antti especially, cook and batch were cook and batch !! Claus was good both at Berwick and at home today, just leaves the 2 reserves, early days but looks weak, at least celina was on the pace today and had a couple of good races, hopefully they will improve in the next few weeks, A big positive was the racing at the GT tyres Northside arena was very good and the improvements are fantastic, well done to Andrew Bain and all his merry band of helpers.

Won't need much as it's only size of an egg cup enjoy the loan of it !!

It's only the mickey mouse border trophy
