No such thing as easy points, love him or hate him he outscored the Berwick No 1 and No 5 on their own track. -

Neila, he's not worth a response, we live in 2024 not 1824. Jealousy and negativity are soul destroying afflictions -
As I understand it I think Katie will also be Redcar’s official no 8 for 2024

Another great signing, a big Comets welcome to Celina, the team is really taking shape nicely with 13.48 to go for the remaining 2 riders I think this team will look very solid with every rider capable of increasing their average. Exciting season ahead for the Comets

Happy that the Comets are back where they belong, great start to the team building but more importantly many thanks to Andrew. Steve and the rest of the promotional team for bringing back Speedway to West Cumbria. Never thought I would see the Comets back where they belong. Whatever team we put out it’s now down to us the Comets fans to support the promotion and the club in 2024 Give us a C

Great to be back, as you say Paul a big well done to the Management/Promoters, volunteers and sponsors not forgetting the guys running the supporters club, its now down to us the fans to get behind the team. That will be an "O"

Workington Comets V Peterborough Panthers Lc Semi
stemoc replied to shady's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Dave you are right about the van at the grand stand end, what I was referring to is 1. We no longer have a burger van on turns 1 & 2 (which has been there since 1999) 2. Until the interval we were told that we would need to take our tickets, leave the ground, go into the grandstand gate and return the same way Now in all the tracks I have visited I cannot recall having to go through that type of rigmarole in order to get a bite to eat or a drink which all lessens the Derwent park experience, as a home fan I can accept that, but if I was a visiting fan having just got off a bus after a long journey I think I may have a different attitude towards having to miss a couple of heats just to get some refreshment. I know that to some this may be a minor issue but with a long drawn out protracted meeting it doesn't help Sorry Dave I have a bee in my bonnet about falling standards, just ignore me -
Workington Comets V Peterborough Panthers Lc Semi
stemoc replied to shady's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Very well done to Peterborough last night, all rode well and a great choice of guest. Deserved winners and good luck in the final against the Monarchs From my point of view a somewhat disappointing performance from the team as a whole especially following a great performance at Rye last weekend. For me there was a general lack of atmosphere even before the first race, poor sound system, no refreshment facilities for those in the ground, no update on Kyle, long protracted break with no interaction with the crowd resulting in the meeting being dragged out for 2 1/2 hours finishing just before curfew. Sorry to say on the whole a very disappointing night both on and off the track -
Rye House V Workington... 5th July, 7pm
stemoc replied to Shadders's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Well yesterday was my first ever visit to Rye House, and while as a Comets fan I obviously enjoyed the meeting the highlight of the day for me was the Rye House fans themselves. They are one of the friendliest bunch of supporters that I have ever had the good fortune to come across in the sport, at a time when they must have been feeling pretty low about the result (and as speedway fans we have all been there) many of them still found the time to come across to the Comets fans to shake hands, pass on their congratulations and offer a friendly word, a great gesture. Without wishing to sound condescending I just hope that things turn around for them since its clubs and supporters like this that make speedway such a great sport. Stick in guys your a credit to the sport and best wishes for the future -

Not wishing to highjack this thread but this is not even worth a reply, fact the meeting didn't go ahead we ARE entitled to a full refund if that is what we chose to take -
Glasgow Vs Scunthorpe - 1/6/2014 (pl - 3pm)
stemoc replied to lucifer sam's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Yes Sarah I don't doubt it but it doesn't make it right it's time we supporters were treated with some respect, this is not a dig at Berwick specifically since I have many friends over there who are genuine supporters like you we have worked hard to increase the number of traveling supporters and instances like this has undone much of that good work, I thought this approach had disappeared with the likes of Mr Waite but it appears that is not the case. At the end of the day they took our money knowing full well that the meeting would not go ahead then refused to pay any refund on the night, the down side is that no one wants to travel across there now so no one wins which is a great shame. It's time that we as supporters got together to challenge this approachThey don't call me victor Meldrew for nothing ;0)) -

Well said Dorothy good to hear that some promotions respect the fans, nothing worse than paying to get in only to find that the meeting is off before a wheel has been turned and then being told you can't have your money back. Berwick take note, absolute disgrace. -
