1st signing announced tonite at 5pm, bugger at work no phones allowed !!

No defently travel plus went to Munich 1989 then a few more in later years, vojens and Gothenburg and ice speedway to Frankfurt and Assen, tee mill tours were about a the same time

Can remember 25-30 years ago going with travel plus to old world finals and they chartered a ferry to take speedway fans to vojens

For what it's worth I think current prices are about right, but don't think concessions should be got rid of, as a vast majority of crowds at Workington ( and other places ) fall into this category, you would lose more money as a lot of older people would not pay. Another point that should be considered is have fewer meetings a month, one week home, one week away, a bit like football, sometimes less is more,

It was -2 when meeting was abandoned ice was forming on both bends and track was white !! So not very original

We now have ice speedway at Derwent park, track turning white as we watch !!

Well chuffed for comets, a big well done, I'm a comets fan but thought it was a poor show for the few Lakeside fans that took the long journey that Messer's Lawson and Morris plus one other did not show to receive a runners up medal !!

Butterflies feels like a herd of elephants in my tum !!! Come on comets we can do it, 48 years is long enuf to wait, it's coming yam speedway is coming yam,

Come on rain do your best, Lakeside starting to get a good lead, any comets fans at rye house please do a rain dance

Well it's the 23rd October season will finish in a week and we are still waiting for the last qualifier to cross the line, won't know till around 21.30 on Wednesday, that's if electric bill is paid !! What hope has speedway got to be taken seriously if the main match of the season is not known, teams can't run full publicity to hopefully attract more fans, traveling fans can't organise hotels to make a long journey more bearable,and fans need to be able to get time off work to attend , just hope over winter the people at the top who ' try and run ' our sport make deadlines so each competition is run on time and spread out over the summer, not scrambling about in the last week of October to fit it all in, rant over !!

THJ seams like you got too much time on yer hands, love it !!

Keep seeing a mention of large crowd but IMO no more than 500 which includes around 80 or so comets fans would not like to see a normal crowd !! Just saying . Ps sound system on 1st bend did not work very well

All booked can't wait

Thanks

Can someone who goes to rye house / Lakeside confirm that the 20/20 draw normally only wins £20 or was it due to a comets fan winning you have another envelope to give to away fans, just asking ? As most other places 20/20 draw is £100-200 mark

Seen more dirt on the A1 on way back to Cumbria than at rye house, good win for understrength comets V full strength hammers, but can see it being close tonight due to comets injuries and knocks

Yes but Ryan air fly to Warsaw modlin airport very late at nite and it's 40 mile away from city centre !! KLM worked out more expensive from Newcastle, I hate Manchester airport only use it if I must, any airport is over 2 hours away for me

Ty actually got his arm caught between wheel and guard on Lawson's bike, had to remove wheel to free arm !!! Suspected break

Poor crowd here 50/50 draw only £20 won by a comets fan, come on comets make my journey home nice and short

Just one ?

Having to fly from frozen north via Heathrow, no direct flights fri-mon from oop north, so more than half the cost on flights

Yes an easy option but at around £500 pp. My self book trip is around £200 pp cheaper !!

Theirs a diversion on side roads from just past Appleby for locals to use, if jct 40 closed use jct 41 and travel via greystoke to A66, easy peasy if you know wagon drivers

Mine too, was on computer nearly 3 hours trying to register then buying/printing tickets

Regarding the comets fixture pile up, how about this, comets were the 1st to qualify for the shield then had to wait to see who it is against, the comets were the 1st to qualify for the KO cup and had to wait to see who we were against, and finally the comets are the 1st to qualify for the playoffs and we are still waiting to see who we ride against, Who are in the wrong now ps what happens if the weekend of the 27 + 28th and the following few days are wet ??
