Neila 1,086 Posted March 22, 2021 Had a walk down a few weeks ago,as part of my lockdown walks, yes lots of work ongoing, but think the people who run it should be left to make an announcement when they are ready !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There’s no pits or other buildings because they are not there! Track has been made a lot bigger (when it’s completed ) lots of ongoing work. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sings4Speedway 3,223 Posted March 23, 2021 Genuine question(s) and not wishing to stir just know. Did the Comets go into administration or just opt out of running due to finances and stadium issues? The reason i ask is that its not always a straight forward to bring teams back that have folded otherwise half of the promotions would be trying the same trick and starting up under another name. I guess there is absolutely no reason why the Northside Comets couldn't operate out of a new venue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the ownership name that wouldn't (possibly) be allowed to operate. The team name has nothing to do with ownership. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brianbuck 928 Posted March 23, 2021 Seems from what I am reading that the chances of Workington coming back are quite bright, so as someone who knows what it is like to lose their club, I wish them and their supporters every possible success. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
