They not heard of air con works wonders.

Good too see a Worky win.Cant afford to lose such a brilliant speedway facility as Northside.Onwards and Upwards hopefully.

Everyone’s biased against poole

Unexpected win today against the league leaders. Thought 44-46 but was delighted to be wrong. Some cracking close races with every point being scrapped for, which is how it should be. It takes two teams to make an entertaining meeting and Poole played their part so thank you. It was the Comets fantastic start that ultimately proved too much to overcome on this occasion which was nice after being put to the sword at home twice last season by the Pirates. Congrats to the mechanics, not one mechanical failure during the meeting. Thank you to members of the wider Speedway fraternity who turned up to show their support for the Comets, it was much appreciated. Let's hope we can get the message to more local people to give it a go while trying to improve the quality of entertainment on offer during the 2hours or so of the meeting. It was great to see the riders coming round today almost without exception when winning races. Congrats to the Comets on a solid team performance without exception- brill ! That performance was just reward for Andrew Bain who has had a tumultuous couple of weeks, thank you.

im sure 99.9 % of people expected a poole dominant win but it wasnt ive always a lot of respect for poole in some ways always build a good team however some poole fans really let there team down very poor in defeat away defeat by a home side that had a lot to ride for and there wanting riders sacked even poole cant win them all

Complete neutral bought the stream. Enjoyed the meeting. Hopefully the comets problems are behind them and they can move on. Be a great track for a British Final. Poole just never got going but sometimes it’s just not your day

Glad to be proved wrong...a great team performance by the Comets team who all looked up for it from the start and all worked hard for every point. A good boost for the Workington management , staff and fans after recent weeks. Well done Worky.

I think everyone's week was made when you got spanked at Ipswich 🥳🥳

Everyone’s weekend been made watching Poole get spanked. mine also 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Big cheer off the old dears when told score,love to see matt fords face lol

Haha heard it all now .. the heat being blamed on the journey up !!! As excuses go that is the best one I’ve ever heard…. I feel sorry for the Poole riders who obviously don’t have air con #airconforpoole Poole simply carrying riders .. reserves are probably the worst 2 in the league or close to it so when one of the top boys struggles it heightens the issue and Kerr having a mare…. Still Lawson and Rowe I heats 13 and 15 could mean Poole get something

Lawson t/r. Pirates just not at the races. Wondering if the long haul up in the heat has had an effect but shouldn’t be an excuse. Workington on another level so far.

All the best to Batch and the entire Worky team for a successful evening and for their continued success in the future. We cannot afford to lose another venue, particularly after the large investment and effort required to establish this one in the first place

Update on Danyon Hume taken from the Danyon Hume Racing page. Hey guys, Just another update on Danyon, he underwent 5 hours of surgery on Monday which was successful and is now managing to take a few steps. The physios and doctors are happy with the progress he is making and in their words “Danyon is a warrior”. We both really appreciate all the messages/calls, we have received so much love and support it hasn’t gone unnoticed and I have read everyone’s messages to Danyon. Danyon will get round to responding to everyone at some point however he is concentrating on his road to recovery at the moment. Thank you so much for all the love. Jade x

I think the Pirates got a little heated and confused with the left hand drive. 😁

Perhaps Vinnie preferred to go to Northside. Much better track, than Wimborne Road.

I purchased the stream doing my bit to support the comets from sunny Suffolk. Fully expecting a comfortable Poole win but I’m so pleased to see a decent crowd and a good home win with all the comets contributing.

Workington people must have had a shock when they heard about the troubles, and it must be a wake-up call for lapsed supporters to get over to the north side and see how good speedway can be. No excuses, rally the troops and get the terraces teeming! You've got a superb speedway. Use it or lose it.

There will be the NIDS travelling up but a truly awful day to travel with such a long journey and 34C expected. With a stream I would think hundreds will pay the £11.99 to watch and save a fortune on fuel.

the main reason for mon/thurs prem race nights is for all the double uppers to be available one league would remove the need for that as has been said poland do what the hell they like anyway so let teams race when they want

Class! 😂

Wasn’t a spanking. Was merely giving them a false sense of excitement before the real stuff kicks in

Really hope it leads to a big crowd for next week.

Seeing as how I love my stats, before today's match, 2025 averages. Starke 4.07, Foord 3.37, Ritchings 2.50. One bad meeting does not mean Starke was a poor signing, remember he was signed on an average below 4! I know Poole don't like to lose (who does) but this loss doesn't really cost them, they'll still finish comfortably in the top 4.

Great win for Workington. In hindsight maybe Poole should have kept Richings as one of their reserves. 😂

Well done to the Comets, much better on the day. Ian Brannan can go home Happy.

What about our super no 7

GB rider Demi Blu Harris won the 250cc class with a 12 point maximum

What perplexes me most of all are the number of fans who followed the Comets pre 2019 some regularly away from home who have not as yet returned . It maybe just proves that if you get out of the habit a return is even less likely.

I am not criticising any club just an observation of the NJL

Stream purchased. I hope I make it to 6pm in this 31° heat.🤣

Only 26 Deg in the frozen north comets lager required to keep hydrated 😁

I blame the big hole in bend 3 at Berwick for Edinburgh not getting the bonus point.

Well done Worky. Glad you're back. Great to see Tate scoring well.

The sport is riddled with guestfest, after guestfest anyway... So, just run the guestfest on the best night for the home team to deliver their best crowd... Just 100 extra could be a major difference given the pi$$ poor numbers at most tracks... Home promoters are happy now for an away team to turn up with four guests and a RR facility.... So, deliver such nonsense on the best night you can to deliver your best crowd.. The happy clappers who still take it seriously (even when they only have two riders from their own team out on track), will definitely be there anyway... And, those many hundreds at each track who don't take it too seriously, but just like watching the racing, will go more often if not tied down to race nights that they cannot attend..

Yes I expect so just like we all enjoyed Belle Vue being spanked by Ipswich

15 - 3 Wow

I don’t know what it is but I just can’t buy into the concept of the European championships,,it just always feels like a nothing meeting despite the line ups, anyway hoping for some decent racing

I just reloaded the page and now there's commentary, wish I'd left well alone, it was genuinely a welcome surprise when there was none.

At the Edinburgh managements request, can't blame Poole for that one. But agree with your first point, far more appealing travelling from Workington to Poole as part of a tour than a one-off match.

Bus full of old dears out for the day ffs

Howay Geoff , go down with heat stroke man , the only remedy for which is methanol fumes and cold Comets lager 👌

Real sad to see was a lot better when independently run

10 points and can not normally ride technical tracks lol

Always good when the current 2 and 4 in the world get schooled … King did it to them in heat 15 as well

It should be shared around otherwise you will get a Belle Vue track specialist racking up British titles. Foxhall certainly has the capacity to hold major events

Personally I think that is the answer, obviously it's not the whole answer but it's the foundation that you start from to rebuild British Speedway. Add this to a complete overhaul of the race format, race night experience and running on the night that best suits your business is at least a start.
