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.

Glad Kyles signed, there were rumours that he was off elsewhere. Not every team has to have a rider under 3 this season though so it’ll be tougher than last year would have been for him. Still think he’ll be fine though.

No bother Marra, info off er indoors.

On Twitter Comets have wished everyone a Merry Christmas and have said there’ll be more team news before New Year.

So Matt’s gone to Edinburgh as reserve, hope Laura and co have something up their sleeve. News before Christmas? Good luck Matt.

Mason Compton is the latest signing, welcome back oops bit late.

Yeh, FB, announcing at 8pm

Comets naming next signing on Tues night followed by another on Wednesday.

I ca't see Kyle returning, he's popular at Sheffield and it's a lot nearer to his home in the Manchester area. I would't blame Laura if she sold him but for a decent price. He improved his average every season with the Comets.

I was at at a meeting where the idea was put forward that fans should donate a fixed figure per month to keep the club running, apparently this works at Edinburgh. A lot put their hands up but had second thoughts, Later it was said any donation would do. I personally know some people who are part of this scheme, I’m not. It’s not good to see fans arguing, leave that to Berwick lol.

First visit today, was hoping for rider news, something this week?

Good signing, seems to have been common knowledge that he was Comets bound. Good to have it confirmed.
