I doubt Super League rugby would be cost effective without Sky money, not panicking, no point. Looks like good dry weather for Saturday, roll on.

Do they ever think about the effect of rules? I don’t need an answer.

Perhaps not but if outside investment came in who knows. There was an article last week about a businessman from Salford saying Cumbria should have Super League. I passed a new stadium (2012) on Sunday very near to the M60 motorway where Salford and Sale play. Can't see Town and Whitehaven merging, the meeting with the council was a Reds initiative.

Workington Reds and Workington Town are in discussions with the council about playing in one stadium. I’ve heard talk tonight it would be a new stadium and that Reds (football) wouldn’t want a track between them and the fans. It’s headlines in the local rag but not on their website yet. No mention of the Comets.

Nicolai Klindt, Rasmus 2 and Dan 4.

Ben Barker, Rory Sclein and Simon Lambert named as the last 3 riders for the Cumberland Open. Season ticket holders from any club pay only £10 admission, good line up too.

He’s been announced to ride in the Cumbrian Open

Meet the riders is on the 23rd at 19.30 in the Waverley with practice the day after.

Yeh Cook could cos he qualified while riding for the Comets

The difference seems to be that they were already 2nd tier riders and not one wanting to drop down, not having ridden there.

I wasn't there but have been told it was packed and a good night. Natalie Quirk from BT Sports was the presenter and did a long Q & A with Kyle. Belle Vue had asked Kyle to ride in the Championship too but he wants a year in the Championship first. There were people there from Belle Vue and Redcar.. Natalie has worked in other sports but has been a Belle Vue fan for years and is now doing her dream job. Proceeds were for Air Ambulance and fund after young Glasgow lad who died, drink spiked I think. Probably be in this weeks Star. My opinion.

Just wondering have you been to many tracks, what’s your favourite, apart from Belle Vue?

Excellent article about Ron's time with the Comets in 1981 on the Comets Website, sympathy to friends and family.

He'd be a big miss, it's a job not everybody can do well, he certainly can.

No, but at least you try, lol

Lack of meetings. People get out of the habit of going to speedway

After the floods of 2009 Derwent Park was not as easy to get to, the crowds dropped and never recovered when the new bridge opened, a lot of rain offs didn’t help. People get out of the habit and start doing other things.

Yeah, cheers Anthony, all the best. Think Steve will be fine, might give a new meaning to tractor racing, can’t see him beating his best time round DP though..... Good luck Marra.

Yeh, good popular choice.

Rules..have the starting rules actually changed yet?

Quoting not quoting

I think Ty would be best, guessed Mason cos he did it last season.

Who will be captain, my guess is Mason.

Yeh make my day Marra
