Indeed, my memory isn't as good as it was. Rye had gone up despite finishing 9th the year before in the 2nd tier, lasting just the one season in the top flight.
Their demise left just 7 top-flight teams in 2018.
Find out more about our new promoter of the Comets, Andrew Bain. He recently spoke with Cumbria Crack and revealed all about his love for speedway & bikes, how progress is continuing at Northside and how the return of the Comets came about…

It will be very interesting to see how George does in the NDL. I watched him in all his home meetings (and one or two away) and he really struggled last year.
Totally agree though with most, saying his average is ridiculously low. Although, having said that, he was nowhere near a 4pt Champ Ave rider.
By having twice as many CL meetings it meant they couldn't fit all the NDL matches in if clubs ran two teams (without having to run Double Headers), apparently.
Excuse my ignorance, but have they changed the rules, so that you can have a rider in three UK leagues, as I thought that you could only ride in two divisions?
Also need a promoter with experience to "assist" (doesn't need to be a co-promoter of the club) I believe, but, obviously, could be both. I am sure THJ can enlighten us?
