Hope 'the word' does influence larger crowds - somehow it needs shouted from the proverbial rooftops ??? ....like I said there's only the diehards on here. Regarding £75k............that was the figure a renowned local 'sports person' told me the night of the Diamonds match (mis-match actually).. I still recall the Workington guru Ian Thomas telling us - approx 10 yrs ago- that "the honeymoon isn't over yet"..given that Comets were still attracting 1,200 folk to Derwent Park. And the blind optimist in me still thinks that the sport is capable of another honeymoon at Workington...maybe the upcoming re-structuring during the winter can be the saviour? Meanwhile let's all Comets fans on here get behind the best team in blue and white, Workington style, for years.

Good reading material on here right now...fans that care for the Comets obviously....but here, sadly, we surely only preach to the converted ? It's not gonna be read by many who could be swayed to re-appear at Derwent Park....although fingers crossed it does help. I was reliably informed that it costs £75,000 a season to run the Comets.....the informant didn't add the proviso the I kept this info to myself..(this was prior to Diamonds fixture) And that certainly set the mindset alarm bells for speedway at Workington.......although to be honest they have been ringing for a while now...hopefully I will still be showing the same concern as the bikes still roar at DP in 2019???????????

We were talking about the impending loss of Derwent Park stadium.... which hosts both speedway and RL......if you don't like it don't read it. Thanks

Yeah still can't fathom why Walshy left after being so successful at Derwent Park ?...home sick maybe?
-
Hmmm all very mysterious wasn't it ?...you are right about the Paris St Germain situation....The RFL wanted the small town guys 'out' and the big city outfit ' in' for sure...tho they went down the next season.. ha,ha..and yes I do recall us in the top division...but thought you meant SL only...sorry marra......Up The Town and Comets...
-
Town only played one season in Superleague...which was SL1...and were relegated, never to return - yet - after finishing bottom of the table.

Brilliant post. -
Workington Town RLFC are close to my heart marra......I watch both RL matches and Comets at DP...the RL crowds are bigger of the two at present. And re Superleague...Town featured in SL1 in 1996...and it almost ruined the club....no population to attract the crowds required to compete at such a high level. So we make do with 1st Division, or if successful in upcoming play off - The Championship...it's probably similar to why the Comets are always in the second tier of speedway....it's just a small outpost of sports loving people.

Yep you are right...what on earth drives some people 'in the know' to input negative drivel on here........??? It's just childish stuff.....get behind the Comets 100% in a positive way pls. As for the sad geordies.....well that's what they are... -

Lets see it in the Newcastle programme please.......... btw....hope George enjoyed his Cheeseburger on Friday. Don't forget earlier in this season Laura's bit in Speedway Star re Comets riders dosh....and the lads have done so well since....so keep it going guys..it's great. GMM ...do you get some form of strange satisfaction by adding your 'behind the scenes' negativity ??? -
Obviously the overseas/foreign Town players are 'resident' for the season......Town have finished a very creditable fourth in their division...therefore making the upcoming play-offs, sounds familiar eh ???..Town crowds have averaged 700 plus this season.

Yep last night much better than a woeful Newcastle effort...depleted team or not it wasn't worth my £13 (old git fee).....didn't cash in on my £3 deduction either last night (yep silly old git). Think the geordies on here are stirring it big style.....can't see them running next season...... -
