  1. im sure josh will be real good rider for sheffield just as long as somerset arnt dropping back down in 2018 then you may find he drops his average mid season onwards
  2. comets co promotor steve whitehead has stated the team is built to a budget to try safe gaurd the future of speedway in workington something that others should look at hopefully the season goes well and proves you dont need to break the bank to put on a good show
  3. another forum english teacher jenga must be whipped for making a speling mistake/typo error
  4. come on lets get all the digs in at mason early IF he rides next season like he finished this 1 im sure he will get noticed
  5. i did know that was just trying to see how old the original poster was or if he thought barrow was somewhere else in the country
  6. was it part of lancaster or cumberland way back then
  7. nice to hear plymouth are not lost to the sport a year or 2 in the old national league to regroup and you may make it back up a league or 2 good luck to the new owners and hope all plymouth fans turn out in force to support them
  8. should have had better medical insurance then if i was racing at this level id have looked into medical insurance i had cover conected to riding bikes on the road when i was younger and it covered for any sporting events aswell wasnt expensive but that was when i was younger and with all the clever people claiming for broken finger nails and such like its drove insurance cover up a fair bit
  9. was scoring more in the pre meeting test meetings in poland than the riders that got into the team but never ginen a chance from what im led to believe and all paid for from his own resorces cost him a lot of money and never got a ride
  10. cant see vissing back started off really well but mid season onwards wasnt that impresive as for tero got a lot of stick from some comets fans last time he was here i actually like and rate tero but coming back from injury maybe too much of a risk
  11. gotta say im really impressed that a team shows such respect and loyalty to there previous team and that all the riders who finished the season were willing to re sign for the following season if more riders/clubs had the same attitude the sport might improve and crowds maybe would improve
  12. ive got to say im sort of impressed looks like rye building a decent team by the three listed so far but the other 4 might be national league standard going by some rye teams recently but i wish them well with what i8s a bit of a gamble mooving leagues but could also be great for the club as there in the right area for the more southern bassed elite leagus that was probably should have jumped leagues a few years ago
  13. yep i think ged rathbone had a word with him around august time
  14. the story i was told from someone close to belle vue a month or 2 back was there are also members of the council with questions to answer
  15. and also many stay at home to watch sport now rather than out in the cold wet summer
  16. weve probably all heard rumours about riders being owed money and rent not been paid at belle vue unfortunatly its part of speedway and other clubs are in the same boat not only in britten whats the point of riders going topoland for big points money when they dont get paid
  17. so what happened to the other 1372 as it was reprted as sell out a week or so ago if im not wrong they have a 8000 capacity for rugby
  18. i understand what they all mean when going on and on and on about genuine no1's but every rider is a genuine rider and to disrespect a 7 or 8 point no1 by saying there not a genuine no1 is part of whats wrong with this sport some fans expect 3 point reserves to score 6+ every meeting and genuine number1's get maximums every meeting
  19. every team has a proper no 1 hes the one with the higest average in the team and rides with number 1 on his back granteed some are better than others but makes no difference if there a 10 point average or 7 there all genuine no 1's other wise they would be riding at 3 ,4 or 5
  20. id also herd he was on rickys engine last few meetings now if he can do that for full season then hes a bargin on his average but also why did it take most the season to find the problem ?
  21. nice to see so many rival fans wishing the comets luck and saying how much they enjoy there visits now its time to get some locals to do the same
  22. herad a rumour they all got £50 cash back if they agreed to change name so no brainer most involved in speedway would take the £50
  23. now that garry is paying the wages will he pay the same rate as he expected when being a bit silly acting as courtneys manager but my post was fact ian thomas relessed courtney after havelock demanded a points fee that was claimed to be more than stoney was on at the time it was possibly the year 2 reserves could share 1 reserve place and courtney and tony dart shared the place
  24. will be interesting to see the wage bill next year as when havvy was acting as manager for young courtney his wage demands were that high it lost courtney his team place so im sure garry will be offering good wages for reserves
  25. its not being renovated just tarted up just like when the rugby made a big song and dance over its big make over they got a 2nd hand digital score board that was place at the wrong end of the ground and was tiny compared to the big wodern 1 everybody looks at they got new seats in the grand stand spent a lot of money on paint and money on floodlights that now shine directly on the pitch funny thing when the speedway wanted to upgrade flood lights town claimed they didnt need them so any upgrade was down to speedway but if you went past derwent park on rugby training nights the floodlights were always switched on ?
