    Workington 2018 .

    Laura cannot continue to lose money week in week out, and I don’t blame her cause I know for sure I wouldn’t. Looking at recent posts on social media, it’s clear that speedway isn’t greatly thought of in the town. Not being part of the new stadium plans (probably by our own doing, an idiot wouldn’t sign a 50 year lease for speedway) has highlighted that, the track gets in the way of viewing for the other 2 teams fans. Big crowds or not for the last few meetings, if the comets were to continue running they would only have the use of Derwent Park for probably 1 more year. It has been made public that there was a party interest in becoming the new owners of Workington Speedway. But that would also come with the responsibility of finding a location for and building a new track in the area. So no surprises that they soon lost interest. It is indeed a crying shame, as this time when it closes, I don’t think we will see speedway again in Workington. And to go out potentially as treble winners will be very bittersweet. Maybe a consortium could be a possible idea?

    Play off final

    Be even more excitement when neither of the finalists are running next season!
  3. I believe Mason was due to fly back to Aus early this week for state champs, but he has now decided to stay in UK to complete Comets remaining fixtures and hopefully get us some silverware
  4. “Hard choices, hopefully everything goes to plan”
  5. Yes on the way, onto M6 at Penrith, then off at A685 towards Kirkby Stephen, then joined A66 at Brough Sowerby! Broomsticks flying down the A66
  6. Anyone able to give an update on the weather down in scunny please?
  7. I think it’s likely we will use R/R for Proctor, and Paul Starke as guest for Dan Bewley Just a guess tho
  8. He could be just giving himself a couple of chances maybe! As for Ty, he needs to reach 7.00 to get his visa for next year as far as we are all aware! I’m sure there’s some way he can manage to work it out! Hey maybe one of us might have to marry him to get a visa hands up....THJ?!
  9. I’m gutted for him! He’d just arrived at the meeting tonight as it was called off! Unsure how it will all pan out... can he swap to another state champs date? Be a real disappointment for him to miss out, and even worse for him to miss out on a visa for next season! Especially after the hoops he jumped through to race for the Comets this season We will see watch this space! It’s a crying shame we will be racing our finals with such a depleted team. No matter what, the comets have made us prour all season, and well deserved I say
  10. Proctor out tomorrow and Sunday suspected collar bone injury all the best to Ty Tero Aarnio steps up tomorrow into our chase for silverware! Come on the comets you can do it
  11. ....are us comets fans ever quiet?
  12. What a brill effort from a further weakened comets side!!! Fingers crossed Ty is okay Imagine this was next weeks final.....we can dream
  13. Come along to Derwent Park and play where’s wally, or where’s workyworky Now I wouldn’t call that big geordie bloke in the stand a witch either, honestly!!!!! Bet you can’t hunt me out in the same place again, fetch your devils gladrags, Halloween’s coming!
  14. Shale? What’s that like never heard of it down at our paradise of gaters, brings out the best, some even gated before the tapes had gone up!!!!
  15. Guests may not be required fingers crossed! If no room at the inn with the suggestions given by THJ; there is a great big oval shaped concrete structure behind Tesco with plenty of room, even comes with large air cushioned blanket and check in usually starts around 6/6.30pm Safe travels, and may the best team win
  16. Ohhh in amongst all that bickering with the tiggers, almost forgot about the delightful scorpions! Probably staging one of our 3 finals those dates but you lot will be free any week eh?? Unless you’re staging ‘A night with Rob Godfrey’ wouldn’t miss that for the world!!! very tasty bite that was indeed, 5 stars on tripadvisor
  17. Worky away at Lakeside Friday but same difference
  18. Was in the bar after meeting... seems to be ok just very bruised and painful ribs, wrist etc... hopefully be ok for next week
  19. Thanks Dot! Your attendance is very much appreciated in what was an exciting meeting! I sold you your programme, should have introduced myself... safe journey home and hopefully we will all see eachother again in the future!
  20. Come onnnnnnnnnnnn! Ohhhhhh worky worky!!! Trying not to be smug... Cannot contain my excitement, comets you f**king beauties! Losing my voice as the weeks go by, shouting our hearts out for the lads....feeling emotional! Can’t be the only comets fan getting butterflies?! A night filled with misfortune again for both teams! Harris not up to his best tonight, but comets riders also giving up points when in scoring positions. Really good to see a lot of travelling fans in tonight, much appreciated extra numbers on the gate! Unfortunate to lose out by one point, but never doubt the mighty comets!!! Sarjeant through the tapes Such a surreal feeling for comets fans, should we... maybe....just maybe start believing something special is about to happen?! Blue and white tears will be shed! Mason Campton take a bow! THREE FINALS #backthemarras #webelieve

    Workington 2018 .

    Please do your research before commenting on what does/does not happen at Workington. You clearly do not know much about the current promotion, or the efforts in place to help out this club. Yes there is a trust. No, THJ is not Hoggy. Laura has been nothing but brilliant for Workington Speedway, and has lived every fans dream of owning and running a club, although it has landed her in what is now a difficult place. This sport is dying, with every attempt made to revive it, actually losing more and more fans. Glasgow have been in our shoes before but no sympathy given. All jokes aside, you can do all the promoting you like up there, but it will be a miserable day when you have no teams left to race against. Enjoy it while it lasts, maybe on a different thread that involves your own club? Oh and a big congrats to the mighty monarchs.
  22. Dig yourself deeper why don’t you....
  23. Maybe he’s just envious and playing the victim eh wee dot!!! Who what who said that??!!
