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

I’m sure Newcastle would have had Rene back and airport there too, people (Rene) can say what they won’t or would do but can think differently later on. I thought Rasmus did ok last time, hopefully we’ll hear an end of season speech from him again lol. Looking forward to March..

The suspenders are killing me

Mason had a good end of season and showed that when he gates he’s not easy to pass, I’m confident his average won’t be getting worse. He was scoring more points away too.

Yeh only 15, but agreement has been reached with him and his family, he’ll formally sign in Feb. Didn’t quote Jenga properly, oops.
