1987 It was the Workington Tigger's sorry tigers, not a very good crowd, then they reverted to Workington comets, crowds did not improve, then we had the cow poo incident then no more speedway as they (Glasgow) only appeared on a Friday afternoon for that evenings fixture with very dodgy roadworks lights, can't see Edinburgh trying anything like this, hopefully the new comets track will be up and running later this year, then maybe conference league next year ?? Up the comets

Good luck to the monarchs finding a new home, but I don't think a track share with Northside/Workington would work, look what happened last time a bunch of scots track shared in Workington ended up a cow s**t show when they watered the track with a slurry tanker with out cleaning it

Any confirmed line ups for this meeting, or has everyone cried off for one reason or another ??

Thought you were a bus driver not a postman shorts all weather's?

Too cold for shorts Geoff

But it's the old chicken and egg syndrome, if your struggling you can't/won't pay anybody for help, but if you do and it does not work you loose even more money, speedway is a hard market to do well, and has an older fan base, so going forward got to try and attract younger fans, who may see a good show on TV GP meetings, but then to see speedway at brough park, scunny etc on a cool evening takes a hell of a lot of selling, they are gonna need more than just 15 heats of speedway over 90 minutes. One thing I suggested to various comets promotion's but did not get taken up, is try to get a local singer/group who has a following, get them to put a few songs on, people may come to watch them, then enjoy the speedway, or the singer/group may get further booking from someone in the crowd for a party etc, then it's Wni win, more people come to speedway, singer/group get a booking. I know it's not easy but if nothing is tried crowds gets lower speedway folds.

Clip of incident on nicki pedersen's Facebook page IMO 1st bend bunching taking rene off 2 and nicki off 4 straight into fence

Believe they are team mates !!! So maybe just an unfortunate incident, does not sound good for both, maybe they may now think about retirement ?

Geoff be careful you may upset people again !!

Can understand not giving town any money but to support the jam eaters ??

Saw some photos on Facebook the other day with fench posts going in, maybe THJ has a picture

He's probably too busy doing northside ready for the mighty comets return !!! Will it be H18TORY all over again up the comets

Think Dan has his own polish crew these days, I am in Warsaw now, did not see Steve with Dan at the gp, and some comets fans were at the team event at poznan today and no word of Steve being with Dan, up the comets we can travel to see the sport

No physical tickets for Cardiff all on an app on your phone !!! Gonna be fun and games when more people realise

You should know by now Geoff that Cammie knickers could get a job on jackanory anyday !!

Best take a big coat Geoff was bloomin cold last week, did not help with the big delay !!

As a neutral fan from West Cumbria was surprised how good the crowd was considering recent diamonds results, Yes a few bandits fans, thought the track was no worse than normal for (b)rough park, but imo opinion the sales in the burger van etc may keep the diamonds alive this season as the team won't need many away points paid as it is, may win a couple more home meetings

Well who'd of thought super sarg cud av been a match winner, but if he did ride probably would've want threw tapes 4 times !!

Sorry but it's H18TORY in comets land

Sorry you were in the Scottish part of the Solway did you not pack your passport

Best choice made nowt wrong with a trip to Cumbria, slightly better than going to the tiggers den even if you were playing golf we're you at Silloth or scaryport? From a cumbrian

My view from a very neutral outsider from comets land , diamonds were lucky to win, if bandits did not have proctor injured they would of won, but not a bad meeting but I don't like (b)rough park as a track, but staying over in the toon so be rude not to take some speedway in, but going forward unless the diamonds can get a better reserve that cosgrave its gonna be a long season, I guess bwd won't return so guests all season maybe a better option

At this rate pubs will be shut after I get out of (b)rough park

Don't know the best way to get round the issue I'm sitting here now bored to tears then got a 2 hour drive back to west Cumbria, by the time the meeting starts then 80 minutes to finish cud have been halfway home if no delays

Well made it over from comets land, let's see how good/bad this diamond's side are ?
