gregory peck 308 Posted September 30, 2018 Comets fans were understandably down on Friday night but what a difference a day makes,also very refreshing to read other teams best wishes,I know we give and take a bit of banter but we're all speedway fans at the end of the day,and the unexpected sometimes happens like last night,which is why we love our sport so much, and with worky on the verge of something special,which comes round very seldom, and maybe won't again no-one can begrudge us savouring it 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carlislecomet2 304 Posted September 30, 2018 Couldn't make it last night due to family 'last supper'/taking youngest to uni. today, but what a turn around, I, like probably everyone else did not expect that. Full marks to the Comets for a performance which must give them confidence for the further challenges that lie ahead. I must admit the thing that has struck me is how genuine the good wishes seem to have been from seemingly everyone, but particularly from the Monarchs fans who must have been gutted, but who have been so magnanimous in defeat. A big thank you from us Comets and it only goes to prove that whilst the banter does possibly occasionally appear to overstep the mark it is banter and we (the supporters) are part of one speedway family. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fine by me, which shambles are you referring to floodlight failure or a referee who doesn't see animation on the starting grid and thinks if a rider comes from fourth place and finishes a wheel length of the rider in third place then he should still be classed as in fourth place. Shocking refereeing performance although he did thank everybody for there patience whilst waiting for meeting to continue , just a shame he didn't apologise for his dreadful performance and having the patience to put up with him for so long.

Would you like Custard, Cream or Ice Cream with that Humble Pie You nearly got your wish when Worky got "Humped" up at the Dale Pity they whizzed on your parade as hearing your contrite comments would have been intriguing to say the least Regards THJ Edited October 2, 2018 by TotallyHonestJohn 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
