Next signing to be announced tonight at 5 o'clock, it seems that Tero is coming, but I don't think tonight. Stevie Worral is a great signing, well done getting him.

I’ve noticed the Comets headline on back of Times And Star is larger than the Reds one which is above it. Nothing against the Reds but good and deserved, as is more support next season.

You rascal!

Without looking back, I think THJ gave that impression, maybe Mason would be surprised too. Having said that if most of them are going to be around the same average then maybe, roll on the next one.. S. Worral has been mentioned elsewhere in relation to the Comets..

Welcome Bradley Wilson Dean!

Charles Wight still available, would be great to see Rasmus back though.

Third rider to be announced at 5pm.

As expected, good to have him back.

Kyle Bickley

2nd signing announced tonight at 5 o’clock

Get the feeling we’ll have riders who weren’t here last season, if right wonder who..

Welcome back Mason!

More worms....Charles Wright

I thought we’d be back after Laura said no need to feel pessimistic at the do. Thought Dan was a bit evasive about coming back though, whatever hope he recovers well from his injury.

Didn't mean to be salty (or sarky), your'e right about the geography, having the PLRC at Glasgow that year was a nightmare for fans of Ipswich. The fact that you can go up is just another reason why the sport should never be compared to football, as I said good luck and I hope Scott is back at Ipswich..

Whatevever, in the strange world of speedway. You never won the Championship though, good luck, is Scott Nicholls a possibility for ya?

Yeh good news, 38 points a big drop from what it was. Thought it would have been 6 man teams, glad it’s not.

It depends what people want to spend money on, 20 fags about a tenner, 4 pints up town about fifteen quid. In that context sixteen quid for speedway is ok, it’s getting people in and coming back again that is the problem.

English Monarchs..

The meeting postponed after Dan's injury, in the 3rd heat, was 25th August. This I believe was the original date for the meeting.

Rumours seem to point to 6 man teams, time will tell, surely something has to change though.

Yeh ok, I was talking about that meeting, we did have free weeks when teams wouldn’t come. it’s pretty rare for a fixture to be cancelled after an early injury. Hope Dan can make a good recovery. The final league fixture had/has no bearing on who won trophies and I don’t believe higher positions in the league table are rewarded. At least we had dry (yeah COLD) weather and were able to run the other meetings.

Don’t forget that the original Lakeside league match was cancelled after Dan Bewley got injured and the first double header of Shield and League rerun was cancelled cos of rain. Nothing to do with lack of planning. Why compare to football where there’s no play off, neither Comets or Lakeside would have finished above 2nd. There’s no way speedway can be compared to football, guests etc..

The gods were certainly kind to us last weekend, thank goodness.

Considering the original meeting was abandoned after the injury to Dan Bewley and the fixture chaos surely the BSPA can in the words of the Beatles, Let it Be.
