We were brought up in the comets early days with each rider having a " childish name" its part of the entertainment. Glamour boy lou sansom wildman vic londsdale firery aussie mal mackay etc it sticks in kids minds long may it go on .

Nice look back to the fantastic 1976 comets in the "ss" this week , steve lawson shows a true gentleman he is saying how much pride he has in both his sons.

I wish the new owner well but if i had a pound everytime someone says they have fresh ideas i could sail the world, as good old "ian" used to say its still four bikes turning left at the end of the straight.if he is as strong in charge as his dad was on the track he could do well i will be going when work allows .

Am sure richard greer is their as well as colin meridith dingle brown ?

George major still got the handle bar moustach

Which stupid rule will they find before the twins birthdays ??

Low nl wages and a blue grove track, going to be alot different this year with wages alone but am sure len knows what he is doing

Am sure most if not all monies due were/will be paid it happens even in supposed rich polish clubs, thats the reason to admire the riders for carrying on every week just wait till my 6 numbers come up lol.

That was our problem we were full of promises!

U dont need to pay good wages to win medals just look at 2018!

I agree 100% with that but its sad now that anybody who " the whole league are after" signs for glasgow at the back of peoples mind is ££, having said that every riders deserves every penny they can get in this dangerous sport to entertain us so good luck to them.

They gave us 4 seasons when no one else wanted too we should not forget at what it has cost laura she deserves some respect for that, the people who ruined the comets are the ones who stopped going each sat night !

Interview with ty procter in this weeks "ss" doesnt make pleasant reading about last season, if anything it makes winning 3 trophys more remarkable.

Just the one point to argue with you"thj" yes the 1980 comets were poor but we had some great racing with boys against men esp one night against Newcastle and it came at great cost to " eddie" but he kept the sport going and for that we will always be gratefull.

Do u think "woffy" would bother to turn up , showed his true colours when he went to aussie to have the birth of his child !

Lol i ment how close were stoke and crewe together

In the good old days how close were Stoke and Crewe?

Expected better from worrell and ht 2 danny phillips was awful to watch him trying to pass wolley

The ref was awful 2 wrong decisions snd nothing done about stewart wearing a white helmet cover all night nowhere near yellow.

Have always found sarj very trying, but am going to have a ride over tonight despite being at work at 5.45 mon morn.

Hows the weather this morn ?

And the diffrence is? Am guessing it was the speedway who first bought them if so use them .

Have said before at many tracks why cant the dog track covers be putbon the track to at least protect some of it .

April 3 1970 derwent park lou sansom fell on first bend andy meldrum won the race in 83 secs, they were going round over 20 secs faster when we last saw the bikes .

Went past derwent park this morn can see the fence on bends 3-4 has been taking down been their in one form or another since 1970 , sad sight.
