However speaking to "In the Know" Tony in the Vatican (Maryport) I think there is going to be a bun fight. Looks like the dirt is coming up and getting dumped round the back of the pit area and the Rugby club are going to bill the Speedway for the pleasure of putting it there along with a charge for removing the fence and storing it round the back and a charge for the containers with the Tractor and air fence panels in. It may be going legal so I cant say to much however to omens are not good.

Sadly the legal side is once it's on the ground it then belongs to the stadium. No as indicated above Tsunami its getting piled up round the back of the electronic scoreboard stand and billed to the Speedway for sitting there, It is a disgrace the most successful west Cumbrian team of all time are just getting absolutely shafted, the Leader of the Council who said on TV we will support the Comets in their endeavours and back them to the hilt has gone to ground, help!!!! what help?, its a disgrace how the Club the Fans and the Promotion have been and are being treated... Not sure what can be done now I am absolutely gutted Regards THJ 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cityrebel 2,960 Posted March 30, 2019 It looks like another long established speedway track is going to be consigned to the history books. It's a shame Northside can't be upgraded to allow the club to continue at NL level. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Besides the tractor, water bowser, and several containers - there's an orange coloured transit van...it seems hemmed in by all the aforementioned, tried to have a look see what reg it was but grass didn't help ( or specsavers could have). The home side of the pits are full of rubbish too. Edited March 30, 2019 by singy13 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
