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.

Easily Tate's best performance of the season at the GT Tyres Arena. Looked like the 2024 Tate today, really great to see him racing so well again.

if comets win bonus point i think half of comets fans will collapse in shock

To be fair to Ford, most teams would settle for 5 out of their top 6 upping their starting average. I can understand some fans being frustrated, but it seems like Starke is doing his job, looking at his average. But i don't watch Poole meetings, so can only go by averages, and not the eye test. Start.. Lawson 9.17. So far... 9.86 Cook 6.23 7.38 Kerr 7.76 7.39 Rowe 6.11 8.43 Thomsen 4.41 5.45 Starke 3.36 4.07 Kerr is the only one, but is only 0.37 under his starting average.

Certainly knew who he was supporting, very biased on the commentary

Let Poole keep Wednesdays (they have never had a problem racing on a Danish league night, and they have had plenty of Danes through the years) and get them to move up along with Glasgow. Let them have a Scottish trophy (with Edinburgh and Berwick) and allow them to build down to championship level for those. The protected UK nights are a farce, Poland can take any Thursday they want and if they really wanted a Monday they could have it. Time to let teams run on whatever nights they want and have Monday as the TV night for the broadcaster. BSN will continue covering both leagues anyway to give viewers plenty of options. 1 league I doubt will happen. Plus it isn’t the answer.

Well pointed out. Would have been a bigger win then if he was there. The expected result really.

The lack of a press release from Lynn just 2 days ahead of a home meeting is truly pathetic A team (even if it ends up not being the one that races) has to have been declared so just go with it If there are any doubtfuls then say so - be honest, be transparent. That's what's fans deserve and should be able to expect!

So far I'm well impressed with it for £3 odd. No commentary, so no prattling on, just the track noise, it's brilliant, graphics give all that's required. Ps, thanks for the vpn tip

I think this idea has been mooted before but I don't know if Stoney has ever been approaced officially. Carl had a great following at Worky, even had his own fan club.

Another good meeting to watch from Scunny,really enjoyed the racing.Riders certainly don’t have an easy time with the close racing.Entertaining.

Few of you might want to reconsider your views in Zischke , Saved the Bears the bonus point!

What everybody has to remember is every track has it's amazing races and rubbish races even the "best track in the world" NSS! 99% of the amazing races come from the best riders! Maybe BV fans didn't watch the 2nd GP at NSS when by the end of it was just a outside line track only with hardly any passing? It's the fact Ipswich was the ones making the passing tonight made it a rubbish track😂 UP THE WITCHES!

rule 324 subsection 32 part 4 appendix 13 any team causing he bspa to put out a generic statement and should there be a monday in the week and the away fixture from 2 weeks ago should result in a win for either team or a draw then the team will be deducted some points maybe 2 or 3 and sent to the naughty corner until they are really really sorry

in the kitchen.
