A.N.Other 112 Posted July 27, 2018 Some new dates in case you haven't seen them on the official Comets website... Saturday 11th August : Comets v Sheffield Saturday 18th August : Comets v Ipswich and a reminder :- Sunday 5th August : Comets v Scunthorpe The fixture on Saturday coming, v Newcastle will remain as a KOC meeting and NOT changed to a league meeting. This is totally outside the control of the management of Workington Speedway. Cheers 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shazza13 132 Posted July 27, 2018 Shame tomorrow couldnt be run as a double header KOC and league... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigbird 33 Posted July 27, 2018 Yeah that would have been a sensible option and hopefully killed two birds with one stone and gave us one less fixture to fit in and less to worry about. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A.N.Other 112 Posted July 27, 2018 I think we all have a pretty good idea as to why our league fixtures are being "held back" or delayed as much as possible by "outside sources". But I am not prepared to put that in print (!!), 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigbird 33 Posted July 27, 2018 Just hope we can get enough fixtures in to with a bit of luck achieve enough pts to make the play offs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We shouldn't need to, nothing decided until "ALL" Championship fixtures have been completed then all this.....skullduggery will have been for nought!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How can you play for the title when serious contenders could be denied the opportunity to challenge due to missing a set date for getting fixtures in, it doesn't happen in any other play off sport so why does speedway do it?
