I think it's safe to say, Mister A won't be getting resigned! For a side that on paper should have dominated the league (before they strengthened by signing Mulford) that's a pitiful excuse for not making the top 4 tbh. Imo the biggest underachievers in NL history - because they had the potential to be so much better! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two riders with a home away differential in excess of four and two more over two tells the story. Indeed, if they make the play-offs would be massive favourites, just have to get there first!

Neila 1,162 Posted December 9, 2022 A good 1st signing, other tracks will not be happy,to miss this signing, if any comets fans have lost touch with speedway Luke was very good last year as a 15 year old , got a good future in front of him 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted December 10, 2022 Lets be honest Luke is one of the most influential signings of the winter, the signature every team wanted so expectation is now on Worky to deliver the rest of the side to match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree a little bit. But just glad to have speedway back in Workington, but surely the point of the 3rd league is to bring young kids like Luke etc through the ranks,and onto hopefully bigger and better things ?? Personally I would like a team of up and coming riders gaining experience, rather than building a win at all cost team, but I know to attract a crowd you have to have a good mixture of both . Anyway good luck to all involved, looking forward to next announcement, up the comets UTC 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
