Why oh why cant we use the "comets" name ?

Shame about that as it has been instantly recognisable for so many years.   If you are stuck on keeping the big "C" and blue & white squares - COSMICS is pretty close or METEORS is also close but in a different way.

Whoever is wanting money for the use of the name "Comets" is really trying it on......

But I'm assured there will be no charge whatsoever for the name "Comics"

(and then we can all call them Comets, anyway)

It seems crazy to me that financial obstacles are already being put infront of a new promotion by Godfrey, Bates and Co at the BSPL for the use of a bloody team name..

There is nothing in the Rulebooks about it other than this under the "Junior Leagues" section

Seems another case of make it up as you go...

Workington is not like other big city Teams like Glasgow, Birmingham, Sheffield etc.

Ask someone in those places who the Tigers or Brummies are or even what sport it is, you'll most likely be met with who? or Rugby?

Ask the same question in Workington or West Cumbria in general, most people would know..

Speedway is hard enough to promote and run as it is without a Governing body, who show a clear self interest, putting made up hurdles in place.

I’m not sure if I’ve miss understood who was wanting the money as I took it as the previous promotion having the rights to it, not the BSPL.
