CTD26

Be racing on Saturday hopefully seeing as he looks to be using Tai’s equipment so would just have to get himself over there for Sunday. Won’t be in the riders championship which is a shame, but you can’t knock him. He’s contracted to Wrocław and has been all season, so for me, it shows how much he’s developed and how much we as the comets have contributed to that development. Nothing but support and thanks to Connor for what he’s done this season just a shame he won’t be wearing the big C next season unless we’re out of the NDL.

Connors been named to start at Number 2 for Wrocław this weekend. Hopefully hes racing Saturday but as for the NDLRC I can’t see it which would be a shame but you can’t knock the lad. It’s testament to show how much he’s developed this season.

Any updates on Ace & Sam?

Yeah I just think this is where it could be improved. Changes should be tabled until around august then an AGM held this month to get things sorted. it’s how Poland do things so why not take a leaf out of there book rather than leaving it so late

If there’s so little interest from certain teams and obviously with clubs closing it looks as though it’s probably going to be 2 leagues. The format for this is debatable, you’ve got the old north/south split then merge for a finals series at the end of the season, with the teams not qualifying for the title into another series so that they still have something to ride for? Then the opening meeting the following season could be a 2 leg match between the winners of both trophies? There’s a lot of big decisions to be made by the SCB/BSPA first before any sort of planning for next season. Instead of it being in November or whenever surely it makes sense to have it at the very latest now so it gives promoters time to prepare for next season and get plans/riders in place.

Couldn’t agree more. It makes it even worse when you’re captain is the one doing it! If he’s not 100% then he shouldn’t be riding.

Not the first, and if we use R/R again certainly won’t be the last. All it comes down is inexperienced/poor team management. Anyone with a bit of speedway knowledge knows this.

Disappointing result today but as I expected tbh. Harry just looks like he cannot be bothered and Crang, well deary me. You’re supposed to be the captain and inspire this young side giving up cause you’re last is just mind boggling. I get it’s the first season but surely we need to be setting up to compete at the sharp end of the league. Some serious thinking to take place over the winter and not just the team either.

Be a lot tougher today Neila I think. Welcoming back hagon and Pearson strengthens them massively, we all know hagon can ride our place really well barring his off day in the Sue Roper

Can’t see Connor still racing in the NDL next year but I’d agree with that start

Too early to start thinking about the 2024 team?

Some rain expected at around 2am other than that seems to be looking good so fingers crossed

Judging from comments about his crash last night, potentially ruled out with concussion so would miss the return leg Saturday too

Great meeting all things considered when it was chucking it down at 7.25. Thought the track came into its own and wasn’t the gate and go a lot of people expected. Congrats to Dan on another title and to Stevie for getting the wildcard. Might shut the other worrall up for a bit. Even on a different track like the moaners are wishing, I can only imagine Dan would clean up again. His ability to just turn it on when he needs to is ridiculous. The pass on Brennan and then his first 2 corners in the final were just exquisite. Had a few concerns about the line up throughout the day but thought it was a decent enough field. Although I do think that other than the defending champ, there should be a qualification process so we get the truly best 16 riders GB has to offer at the time.

Just had a look on the comets page on Facebook, some people really don’t understand a speedway track. Just because it says sunny from 12:30, but my guess is it won’t be judging by the sky here, doesn’t mean the track will be fit to race. Similar situation to Redcar the other week. Been chucking it down all night and quite heavy at some points too, so can imagine the track would be very tricky to say the least, correct call. Anyways, getting to august and having our first home rain off isn’t bad going considering the great Cumbrian weather we’re all used too.

Kent aren’t racing until Sunday. There is only 2 matches on over here tomorrow, this one and Leicester vs Workington so can imagine there’s plenty of options

Won’t be pijper, the comets are at Leicester tomorrow

Great meeting yesterday and nice to see the track have multiple racing lines and even some passing! Feel a bit more heavy stuff on the outside and we’ll have a superb venue on our hands but that’ll all come with time. A lot of the lads impressed me yesterday, but Ashton Boughen is something else. If, and it’s a big if, he is still in this league next season then the promotion should be going all out to sign him. Wouldnt look out of place in a heat leader position and judging by his scores around the country, would bring consistency away as well as at home.

Superb to see young Luke rewarded with a team place at Redcar. Hit the ground running after some bad injuries and he isn’t fazed one little bit

Hopefully the first part. Can’t understand why r/r is partnered the rider who can take a ride in 3 of the races

Good match today, beaten by a better Leicester team. A decision or 2 against the comets today but is what it is. Don’t agree with however, the barrage of abuse directed at Sam hagon over the heat 13 incident. There isn’t any place for that type of abuse in the sport. Yes, we all disagree with decisions from time to time, but no need to shout horrible things to these young lads. Onwards and upwards.

Well just been on the Comets twitter that the last 2 riders will be announced in the coming week. Not gonna be TJ or Bach I reckon, but I wonder who the management have gone for?
