Hope he recovers soon, doesn’t sound good though.

Ok didn’t know

Yeh, I seen both teams at full strength too. Comets had call off on Twitter over 3 hrs ago, weather forecast changed. Disappointed there was no mention on Border news last night after good coverage last week. It is raining now and has been for a while. Will Chris Harris always drive to Glasgow or is it feasible to have bikes there and fly from Exeter sometimes?

Best wishes to Worrall, hope he recovers soon. It's a problem for Championship clubs too when one of their team gets injured in the Premiership, unfortunately that's speedway these days.

someone asked at the riders night if the forum would be back, Laura said it was taken off for maintenance but they weren't sure if it would be back. She hoped it wouldn't be because the negativity could put would be sponsors off.

Used to be, not now.

It was initially taken down for maintenance I believe.

Oh dear, on local news programme. “Workington Comets rider Charles Wright came second in the Cumberland Open”.....

Apparently the new ticket system is a joint Comets and Town thing.

Been a bit of rain, fair now and looks to be brightening up.

Ty Proctor has had to pull out because he hasn't received a document to ride in our league, held up in post though the one for the Premiership has come. Charles Wright has stepped in, shame about Ty but happy with replacement. On Comets website.

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.
