topaz325 1,855 Posted July 27, 2017 So after the British GP break the Comets are back in action against the high flying Tigers from Glasgow, the Comets will again be without Craig Cook but will have Chris Harris as the guest. I,m not sure who the guest will be for Sarjeant but the Comets will need to be on their toes because the Tigers pose a real threat . The weather forecast at the moment is looking changeable....sunshine and showers all day then!! Hopefully we can get this meet on or we will be riding in November to complete the fixtures.

Tapeworm 169 Posted July 27, 2017 I fully sympathise with Workington's fixtures backlog and hope this match is run to a conclusion. And, since this is Glasgow's first visit to Derwent Park this year, was any thought given to making it a "double" meeting? However, another fixtures problem is looming for young Dan Bewley and Jack Smith who both ride for the 3 teams currently lying top of the Premiership, the Championship and the National leagues. They'll be busy little bunnies when it comes to play-off time. And their 3 teams are all still in their respective KO Cups! I'll bet Dan and Jack could well do without having to ride in (possibly meaningless) "catch up" fixtures such as the other remaining Comets v Tigers match! Which club takes priority in the event of them being asked to ride in two (or three) matches on the same date ? And (yes, I know it is early yet) has any rider previously won all 3 championships in the same season ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack - Glasgow have priority as he is there asset. As you say with all three teams at the top of there respective leagues it may prove difficult fixture planning later in the season.

Would have been a good idea but, I think the prospect of two meetings v Glasgow on Saturday was a bit too much considering we're at Scunthorpe on Sunday, tiring us out n all that?
