Didn't know you could read Geoff

What I'm getting at is when a circus comes to town you can't move for adverts or flyers. But speedway promotion imo is trying to keep the sport a secret yes Glasgow do promote but a lot of it is on social media, when my team was alive (comets) we live in an area that's full of tourists, but very very rarely do you see posters trying to attract the tourists or other people from the area . It is a minimal cost to print posters and get out up in shops ets

As for promoters promoting the sport, Glasgow do a good job. But on my 1 visit and watching on BSN this year the crowd looked poor,. I've always said pick one meeting, do promotion like when a circus comes to town, can't move for advertising, discount tickets available the circuses seem to do well so speedway can maybe do the same.

££££ s loan fees now and a transfer fee when he improves from Glasgow or Poole

As an avid local speedway fan I have not heard rumours of the cash being splashed. But have heard that there's hardly any riders who don't want to ride for the comets, the main reason I have heard is they want to ride what looks to be a great track. And most importantly have access to ride 7 days a week practicing to improve themselves, so far most are young and have the ambition to progress further through the speedway ranks, Looking forward to seeing these young kids progress and only 2 mile fra yam you never know one of these kids could turn out to be the next Dan Bewley UTC

Snap but I bailed out and bought copies from local Morrisons, so helping out speedway star in a roundabout way, no fault of pinegen, lost in royal mail back log, probably still gonna get Xmas cards at Easter at this rate

Looks like all behind the rebirth of the comets mean business 1st what looks to be a great track now looking like a great team to go with it UTC

Don't want another job. As the yan I've got is enuf

THJ think it's about time you got a hobby to keep ya busy, how about knitting you could knit some team pom poms

Still to arrive in deepest west Cumbria

Wishing Steve lawson a happy 65th birthday, could he be the oldest signing in the league all will be revealed at 8

Think you posted on wrong page !!!

Agree a little bit. But just glad to have speedway back in Workington, but surely the point of the 3rd league is to bring young kids like Luke etc through the ranks,and onto hopefully bigger and better things ?? Personally I would like a team of up and coming riders gaining experience, rather than building a win at all cost team, but I know to attract a crowd you have to have a good mixture of both . Anyway good luck to all involved, looking forward to next announcement, up the comets UTC

A good 1st signing, other tracks will not be happy,to miss this signing, if any comets fans have lost touch with speedway Luke was very good last year as a 15 year old , got a good future in front of him

You at No 8

Announcement on Facebook tonight at 8 think the team could be named

Will need more money than that !! As the old saying goes how do you make a small fortune from speedway? Start with a large fortune . I'll get me coat

Your doing a good job of keeping this post going
