Think it was originally 12 months but was reduced when the Comets tried to get him in the team again just before the cut off date

Me too, would have preferred Sat though. Wonder if many Berwick fans will come over.

Laura has posted on the Comets forum that this meeting will take place on Friday at 19.30.

Cheers, I didn't know that.

Why couldn't it have been run today?

Was a rerun offered to Workington? If it was and it was turned down then fair enough, I don't think it was though. They should have tried to run the meeting, Edinburgh would probably have won but it would have been decided on the TRACK. I hope lessons are learned from this, but as it's the BPSA who knows.

Tony Jackson is staying on and will also be co-promoter.

Is that from GRT Media? I was there but will buy it. Not sure if track shop will have it next week though.

Well done Newcastle, Palm Toft winning reserve race and heat 14 was vital. Hope you win final, good luck.

Comets continue next year

Did Edinburgh offer another date? Did the Comets refuse? It should have been rerun but if not possible it wouldn't have been fair on Scunny to award us 3 pts. Very unsatisfactory end to the season.

Why can't it be restaged? Or can it?

The way Stead rode on Monday night I'm not sure if he'll be dropping down. Unless they change the rules he wouldn't be able to double up.

I did think that after I posted, he's never really improved much though, he does have talent.

Can't see Charles Wright being back at Workington any time soon.

One thing they should change is the use of tacticals in 2 legged matches, we were effectively punished for doing well at Ipswich, only 2pts behind after heat 10, they maybe balance out over the season but imo unfair in cup matches.

Hope you've heard right Scarra

Good to hear!

I agree with you, Ref's decision is final once it's over, surely. It's tough on Craig and Edinburgh though if Rich crossed the line, seems he has from what Craig has said.

Yeh just realised, doh!! Was hoping to edit, been a long day

Couple of things, Sneddon ......7 day rule. Also in heat 10 Ipswich had nominated a rider to take a tactical ride, thought they weren't allowed in KO Cup, there again I'm sure Jacko would know. Another frustrating night, bloomin' weather!

Heavy rain not fat from track

Can't remember him being great at Workington but obviously a racer and very entertaining. It must have been bad, the car crash he was in cos he was out for a while and it was good to see him come back. I know from following updates that the Berwick fans will certainly miss him, good luck in the future Lee.

Keith has had it rough for the last 3 seasons. First there was the aftermath of the flood, crowds suffered because there was no bridge and some probably lost the habit and never came back. Last year we alone had a lot of rain offs and no doubt that affected crowd figures too, needn't mention the rain offs this season. He's put good teams together, we've been well placed in the league and still the crowds have dropped. This season after looking so promising went bagwash with the injuries but we still have chance of MORE silverware. I'm not saying he's perfect but he does have a point about people falling out with speedway. As for attendances Workington Reds' only had 386 for a FA Cup match last night. I just hope someone takes over and we have it next seaon

I put it on here cos the play-offs were on here earlier, just stating what happens in another sport, other's were giving other ideas. Hopefully Rene can be a Comet next year, never been to Newcastle yet so won't comment on track. "2 outta 3 ain't bad"
