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.

Would like to see Charles back, a lot., thought he'd signed for Redcar,, late could be wrong...... and Ricky,. think Mason will be. Hope the announcement will be a new rider.

Matt has tweeted that hes available and no club has contacted him

Cheers both, think I do remember seeing that now.

I hope Bickley signs but there are no restrictions on team building in the Championship so this must mean that there will be no 2pt riders.

I go too, and will enjoy them if the racings good, I think it's one of the reasons some stay away, though not the main one. Just my opinion.

Agree with all of that, hopefully with a competitive team, no doubling up and no prospect of having only 6 riders for more than half the fixtures will get fans back. We could do without meaningless fixtures at the end of the season too, as you say Laura deserves support.

Weeighhh....happy and wfie jigging round the room They just needed livening up.... lol

Just looked at the AGM statement again which states "All promoters left the meeting with great enthusiasm towards the 2018 season" not all promoters who attended. I said at the time that I was surprised we got good news so quickly. I hope Laura and co are managing to put something together for an announcement soon, Scunthorpe already have their team sorted while we have been stuck at the gate.

Already been said that the stadium has been used on Saturdays for other things too. If we could only guarantee dry Saturdays for speedway...

Don't suppose there's any chance of an appeal to the SCB,......................................... yeah I know, silly question. Complete farce regarding Scunthorpe following the Holder controversy. Like everyone says independent running of speedway needed.

Main thing is we’re still racing, I didn’t expect knowing so quickly, let’s hope they can put a competitive team together and fans come back to see them.

Wonder if either of the Worrals would sign for the Comets.

Trying to be optimistic, wonder who the Comet's next number one will be.

No surprises last night, Craig said he wont be here next year, but said more than once that he wants to ride for the Comets again. Ty and Thomas both felt they should have done better, Matt repeated that he loves the track and hopes after the AGM that hes not jobless next season. Mason pledged his loyalty to the promotion if they ask him back. Steve hopes that the promoters come up with something for the good of the whole of speedway. Laura wants to keep running the club but finances are to be looked at, I feel it will be on next season, hope Im right. That we had to run for more than half the fixtures with a guest reserve because of the rules was mentioned by Steve or Jacko. Dan Bewley was there, Kyle wasnt, didnt see him anyway.

If a year left he must have a 3 year one then. Setting off soon for the do.

I think he got a two year visa and it was said at the last home meeting. Know what you mean about the average the average though. He's at the do tomorrow, sure he'll be asked.

Think its been said that Masons visa is ok for next year.

When is the meeting that will be vital to speedways future (AGAIN) going to be held?

Yeh he was always a good gater, better than James. Was doing ok when Keith dropped him too.

End of season do on 3rd Nov, earlier than last year.

Peterborough at Workington and Charles Wright is guesting for them.
