They are employed march 15 to 31 october its a shame the bspa chairman and deputy arnt as strong getting these 2 teams to race as they were refusing others not to race last season.

The plot thickens! are u saying it was called off soon last week due to guests and r-r and not the weather?

Thats the prob "didnt want too" they should be told u are !

Got ro laugh dave peat saying in the "star" the riders arnt getting enough meetings yet they cant arrange a meeting this week between 2 friday tracks !

Hole aint big enough

Mr godfrey doesnt like anyone riding on friday nights lol if they cant rearrange for this friday hang your heads in shame !

Now rob will know how us comets fans felt last season !

Yes one has jam with lunch , the other doesnt !

Their are sellafield offices in haven they get free parking and take their own lunch , whitehaven has seen no benifit

Am also a rugby fan , but i hope it doesnt

Hooefully "thj"

The ref noticed , just wish they would enforce the rule of no hair hanging out of helmets after all certain riders get away with it , the ref should notice before a race as some spend ages off the bike digging up the track before the start !

The track was left between 1987 - 1999 although tony mole altered it when he came onboard, i think town accept the stadium wont get built in time for the world cup and want derwent park to look better for those matches .

Will someone plz tell lawson thats not a good look !

The rugby club and football and council have stiched up the comets big style esp over a new stadium which i hope will never get built.

It will be interesting to see how town get on without the comets money , rental for the stadium bar takings car park? What ever am sure it will be a miss perhaps why so keen to get the reds in !

Part of the deal for the new stadium was sellafield bought the land derwent park stands on dear old ian and tom mitchell are curently spinning at 78 rpm.

Sellafield offices

According to the "news and star" website allerdale have paid £100,000 to reseed the pitch , so much for wanting to do all they can to help the comets .

1973 i remember it well "carl glover" knocking both taffy owen and mitch graham off in ht 1 in the knockout cup final to beat us , and a good night at home with lou and mal getting a 5-1 in a last ht decider to beat boston .lou was the king of the second division that year.

Was that not an Ian thomas trick on john berry at hull?

Think u will find as john got older he cut down his workload , he was a good friend of the comets done alot beh8nd the scenes for them.

Would love to know john walsh's views on all this he is a fan of all 3 sports footy being tops i suspect anyone know him to ask ?

The sport wont lose fans like me been going nearly 50 yrs as for derwent park cant see us going there again, it was paulco on here who mentioned the guest situation and he's never wrong! Will make a trip up to glasgow this season aftet all u never know when it could end .

A guest for a "kid" without a bike surely the money men can afford a bike or are times getting hard.
