Django 159 Posted March 24, 2015 First meeting of the season at Derwent Park sees the second leg of the A66 Trophy against the Bears Comets will line up - Hansen, Wells, Bach, Harrison, Howarth, Barrett and Greaves. I think this team will be strong at home but may struggle away at time, big responsibility on Kyle, Rene and Ricky to push on this year. I think Kenneth and young Nathan will be exciting to watch, lets just hope for some decent weather on Saturday nights!!! Roll on Saturday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GM 26 Posted March 28, 2015 It might have rained a little tonight but this meeting should never have been called off so early. This is why speedway is seen by many as a joke. I agree I don't want to see any rider take to the track in unsafe conditions but riders now a days see one spot of rain and refuse to ride. That's why promotions are so scared to even gamble on the weather. Been mostly dry in Workington since press day last week a bit of overnight rain and they shelve it. To many meetings called off nowadays Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
