topaz325 1,827 Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) Workington Comets hope to get there season under way against the Edinburgh Monarchs, the Comets will have a guest (Bradley Wilson-Dean) in place of Mason Campton who has been injured whilst practising (broken wrist in four places). The weather forecast at the moment looks favourable. The Monarchs have a decent side and track former Comets Ricky Wells and Matt Williamson along with the potent Riss brothers.

Gr8scot 589 Posted April 14, 2018 Morning all..... there’s a strange yellow thing in the sky over East Lothian and it’s a lovely day!!! I hope it extends to Workington as we’ll be on our way later..... via the chippy of course (think it’s called John’s Plaice) I’m keen to see our new guys in action but any speedway action will do. Hoping Joel has fully recovered Safe meeting for all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jenga 2,998 Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) so , last weeks team was wrong , yet still advertised as , AT FULL STRENGTH ! promoters wonder why they are not trusted these days when they constantly feed us bill shot all the time . not just workington past n present . but all the promoters in both leagues . we have got 2 great guests in Charlie boy and B.W.D. should be a good meeting and more importantly , it should be on . not going to caff . pipes need to be run a loooong time to clear the dishwater out. 2 weeks standing water will not make good tea etc . speedway really does need to start late April , May to give it a chance of attracting good crowds . still love the sport , but its starting to get a bit nip n tuck ! no comment on the weather at the moment , i will leave that for someone else .

Mr Blobby 2,623 Posted April 14, 2018 On the whole Proctor situation, how can a rider be declared in a teams 1-7 even though he doesn’t have clearance to ride in the country and a guest be allowed to take his place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Blobby 2,623 Posted April 14, 2018 Just now, Tsunami said: I remember a team quoting a rider in their 1-7 knowing that the rider didn't qualify. While waiting on the appeal to be heard. Seems those in charge just pick and choose when they are going to apply the rules. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has a visa, he needs some bit of paper to go with it to allow him to ride in our league. He had got the same to ride for Kings Lynn before the Meet the Riders night and expected to to receive clearance to ride in our league in the next few days. Anyway he turned up for P&P so that must count....lol Edited April 14, 2018 by comet49 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
