topaz325 1,859 Posted September 28, 2018 The Comets are up against the Monarchs in this semi final koc 2nd leg match at Derwent Park and hopefully still in the tie if we can keep it reasonably close at Armadale. Jake Allen guests for the injured Dan Bewley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spiderman1 183 Posted September 28, 2018 Top guest pick but every member will need to be on it to win overall after tonites kicking, Allen to blow the cobwebs out ready for the rebels and pirates clash,nice timing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlislecomet2 304 Posted September 28, 2018 Obviously the tie has gone, however so long as our riders are fit and with a good guest in Jake Allen who was excellent at DP recently it should still be an entertaining meeting. I am not knocking the Armadale track and blaming it for our stuffing tonight, but DP is one of the fairer tracks in the league which generally makes for closer meetings (leaving Newcastle's recent half a..ed attempts aside), and it would be nice to keep the unbeaten run going. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trees 2,814 Posted September 29, 2018 What's wrong with the Edinburgh track, I've never been, but they certainly seem to have lots of home track advantage? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As Dorothy has said it’s very technical, a mountain to climb for us so whoever they meet in the final won’t beat them on aggregate ...take Lakeside away from the arena and they’ve lost their advantage another small technical track ..As the saying goes it’s not over til the fat lady sings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could be down to a number of factors but I think the home team moved up a gear no disgrace losing heavily at Armadale it comes to all teams , it is a really an awkward place to go for visiting teams due to the nature and shape of the track. I would just put it down to one of those nights and move on the Comets still have plenty to look forward to. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
