That's a shame, particularly as his nearest track (Scunthorpe) are in serious need of a meeting presenter. A shame indeed.....his input at Comets certainly helped the euphoric atmosphere in those treble winning performances........and was always a top announcer!!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ALL three clubs need to put out matching statements regarding what is happening to Derwent Park . i think we were all lied to about the comets continuing in 2019 by (wait for it ) our own speedway promotion ! . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteelShoe 497 Posted May 24, 2019 in amongst all of this i have a strong innate sense that we haven't seen the last of the Comets !. Call it Theresa May Syndrome if you like but she brought it back 3 times !. The machine in the picture was making short work of ripping up the shale in what looked like 6 inch swathes at a time. I know where it was going because i followed a lorry load. Long live the Comets !! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The equipment and extent of the operation won't be coming cheap !. Completely relaying the pitch as well no patching up going on. In the current political climate in Allerdale nothing is making too much sense at the minute bit i'm hoping there's a positive outcome for the speedway in there somewhere. We can all come up with suppositions but should we have too ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
