topaz325 1,859 Posted August 9, 2018 So this Saturday night the Comets are up against the Sheffield Tigers who have gone through quite a sticky patch at home recently so will be out to claw a few points back if they can. The Comets need to at least win all their home meetings to be in with a chance of the Play offs. Weather for Saturday night keeps changing, currently the rain is due to come in some time on Saturday night, hopefully some time after 9:00 pm!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whisperer 276 Posted August 9, 2018 Look out for sick notes and guests, it usually happens after a car park discussion at Owlerton between rider and promotion then all of a sudden food poisoning strikes and rider is replaced not that i'm suggesting that happened with Wood or JPB, but it did 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am also seriously concerned that we may only be allowed two NL GUESTS to cover for Rene and Nicolai who will most likely be riding in Poland ! I think this is more likely than less likely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TotallyHonestJohn 3,078 Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) Honestly Attempt number 3 at a post!!! I am thinking of changing my name to Totally Controversial John However here goes Firstly I must apologise to all my loved ones, family, friends and Stuart Robson as I vowed that I would never post on here, but here is something totally non-controversial just for the mushrooms. Having been a Speedway junkie from 1968 to 1984 then doing the Army, Job, Family and Kids thing more professionally I was lost to the sport for 25 years coming back in 2009 where I have remained loyal ever since. So that's me!!! The latest position as far as I am aware on up and coming Workington meetings is as follows. it certainly looks like Workington will be using two national league guests against Newcastle on Sunday as the FULL facility as mentioned is only available for the top two leagues in Poland and as Rene and Nicolai ride in tier/league three you don't get a facility. Not great but it is certainly no making or fault of the promotion and not much they can do about the situation, although they have tried. Furthermore Dan will be missing the next couple of Saturdays due to other commitments however there will be a facility for him and I believe Rider Replacement will be utilised Regards THJ Edited August 12, 2018 by TotallyHonestJohn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
