Whether we like it or not guests are a big part of speedway now, the problem with using guests on Fridays should have been seen before the fixture list was released.

Yeh, shame more didn’t go, never seen costs outlined like that.

Good article by Laura in the News and Star, costs, losses etc.. It’s on the Star website..

Well deserved, good club and track

Yeh, very true

Some riders Comets had signed, hopefully.

In today’s Times and Star Kyle is quoted as feeling sorry for the fans and local community. As everyone knows he’s a great prospect, I think he’ll have another team before long. It’s Mason I feel most sorry for, bad news for all of them though.

I think a big problem in speedway is the lack of coverage in tv and press, publicity, league tables etc. That could get some interested, pen pictures and some info about riders in the British Champioship in the press. The way it is is run though it’s not surprising there is a lack of coverage.

I’ve always followed football but have gone off it a bit, too much hype. People are led to believe it actually matters. It’s a game, end off, but of course it’s good to win. People hating other teams, violence, crazy.

The Comets licence has been put on ice, so could return next year. Maybe a big if though.

He was losing money too, unlikely to want to lose more..

I seen something a few week ago, somebody saying that DP was to be demolished to make space for Sellafield offices, perhaps not.

Yeah, finding somewhere to race is different from cash support. Don’t think increase on Comm Charge would go down well lol. It’s a cult sport and lot of people just don’t get it. I’d guess that promises were made that haven’t been fulfilled.

It was said at the end of the season that the council are working with the Comets to find somewhere and want to keep speedway in Workington, time will tell. Still needs investment though. I don’t think football fans are keen on the new one.

Agree with you both, unfotunately.

It’s not but I don’t think a surprise. Hope someone comes forward http://www.workingtoncomets.co/news/article.asp?id=101054

Possibly but I think he rode for Hull too after the Comets. Have a trip up next season, lot different from Birmingham.

Not saying it won’t be Rene but he does have a job, did last season anyway. Rode great last few meetings.

Yeh, fair enough, I expect a lot were surprised that Charles left, hope Kyle has a better year than last.

That’s not a reason

Bit quiet on here, anyway best wishes to all fans and teams of The Comets and all other clubs. Thanks to the Comets management and may next season run smoothly.

I’m sure CW would have been welcome back at DP, good top 3.

Welcome to both, good luck

Yep, double the excitement, roll on 5

I simply meant a better deal which means more money.
