First of all, best wishes to the injured riders hopefully it’s nothing too serious. Well I can’t say that I was expecting that result, the long delay kind of knocked the stuffing out of the meeting and the Comets did rally a bit towards the end of the night . The Bandits will travel with a bit of confidence of entering the somewhat uncharted ground of the next round of a cup competition, but this is speedway and you never know what’s going to happen

I’m sure they’ll bring in some European ringer on a false average like they have a couple of times.

Kyle Newman or Dan gilkes will be available soon

Well looks like I'm wrong 😲 @LisaColette the 8 day rules applies Saturday to Saturday but as the comets are riding on Sunday 9 days from last meeting, this falls outside the 8 day rule. So in theory Cooper Rushen could guest again but as good as the young kid is, he won't help the comets cause, and I don't think bartoz or Dan Bewley could either 😜

What just on the basis he got a good score last night in the Championship🤨. Let's see how Paco is first after his withdrawal from the Edinburgh meeting on Friday,before we even think about replacing anyone. We have only had 3 matches

So which three riders would you sign to replace Mario, Sam and Freddy? I think you have 11.11 points to spend.

You mean you could actually hear him on that side.We must have been in a sound dead zone left hand side of the back straight stand then, thats why we moved to the main stand to hear what was going on. Comets were anhialated from the tapes in those first 8 heats. The score of 39-9 on the program was certainly unexpected and unwelcome in the first leg of a KO Cup tie. The decision by the ref to change his mind in heat 4 and exclude Cookie after previously excluding Reid Battye was shocking. Kildemand was imperious for the Bandits on the night and I couldn't understand why he didn't get heat 15. Huge task tomorrow but the lads owe the fans who made the journey a big performance. Hope Niklas and Reid Battye are not badly injured.

Not angry about the result as well won the 2nd half. But Greg Blair is susposed to be an impartial announcer, but was gobbing off telling the referee what decision to make, which should not be allowed, also the ref called the result, then after Blair said look at a reply he changed his mind, if he was in doubt he should have deferred the result pending a video review. Comets came back from a bigger defeat in 2018 maybe can do it again 🤔

🤔Not sure the Management look at it that way though.

Nick was pointing his fingers at Battye when he passed him coming of 3rd/4th Bend on first lap. There need to be bit communication between Bandits as Nick and Kindleman were having a finger wave last week after getting mighty close Racine each other last week

It not sorted if you are on the Backstrait still cant hear announcements.

Like Greg but he does overstep the mark regarding track incidents.He can wind up the crowd with banter on anything else but should stay out of referees decisions and not giving his own.

Irrespective of the incident it was stupid of Ref to announce the result before checking all avenues available before making his decision.Im assuming they are allowed to look at video evidence if the match is being streamed nowadays .Either Team manager is going to tell him to check it anyway (if it is allowed).Hope Reid is not too badly hurt and speedy recovery it was nasty crash.Took the gloss of a Bandits ruthless display up till the crash.

Good result for the Comets always a pleasure. Cookie away home before the end whats all that about, he’s not going to disappear again is he?

Let's be honest, we knew we hadn't done enough last night. I have no love for the KO Cup anyway. Of all the competitions, it seems the most pointless, with the number of teams we have. Never mind.

I like Greg but it wasn’t a great look after voicing his opinion that he headed up to the referees box. He may have said absolutely nothing but it didn’t look good. He probably overstepped the mark but there’s also a degree of people just looking for something to be angry with after the result.

Not to nitpick on an excellent win but what was morris doing racing Battye on an almost guaranteed 5-1? The only thing I can think of is they had agreed the finishing order before the race. Even so he should have sat behind Battye and then given him a kick up the arse back in the pits. Risking a crash between teammates completely unnecessarily isn’t on. Kind of soured an absolutely brilliant performance by Nick this evening.

Just to put the record straight, tonight's meeting is now available in the replay section. I'm not going to bother watching it tonight, after comments in here I read the match thread, nuff said.

Wasn't expecting that score so well done the Bandits, first of all hope both riders injuries aren't serious and wish them a speedy recovery.Kildeman was on fire, Nick looking more like it, Comets were disappointing does anyone know why Peter and Nick weren't in heat 15 ?

Jesus Christ.😂 ”No, no, no… sir, I think you’ll find there were in fact two, yes two, passes executed - one legally, the other not - during fifteen heats this evening. Well worth the three hourss duration”.

No they are having a old folks race now, still half a lap to go.

What’s with the Greg Blair hate? I quite like him.

Incorrect, Kyle Newman's pass didn't earn him an exclusion.

Three actually.
