Think a whitewash to the weather 90 - 0

Rain and dark clouds at Darlington not looking good, maybe a fast ride back to Cumbria

Leave Workington by 8.00 ish drive down towards Manchester and call in Toby carvery just off junction 4 on M61 for breakfast then onto belle Vue, or spoons for breakfast in worky, think they open at 8

Cook may not turn up yet like last year, !! Comets No 1 due to be in Poland, probably on the day more riders will have pulled out for one reason or another

Funny you should say that, I caught up with a witches fan on Saturday 29 years after first meeting on way to Munich world final in 1989 !!

Fixtures were agreed pre season then bspa and Mr Godfrey said Workington and others could not run agreed fixtures, where have you been over the last few months when this has been discussed ?

My car of 4 people won't now be coming to rough park, so less money into Newcastle funds, probably a few more comets fans will be missing as well, after 48 years of watching speedway my time is just about up with these stupid rules by the BSPA maffia

Not sure if correct but have heard if comets qualify in the top 4 for play offs and all fixtures are not completed then we Do Not qualify for the play offs !!! You could not make it up, maybe wrong but who knows

Nothing to do with Saturdays meeting, but does anyone know the team for the comets on Sunday, heard a rumour we will be without 2 of our Danes !! Was thinking of going to rough park, but won't if we only have half a team !!

Workington v Scunthorpe, Lakeside v pussycats think I saw were the 2 semi finals, think they are due to run on boxing Day !!

Am sure Mr Godfrey will try his best for us to use a poor guest !!!

Yes agree team riding above expectations and any publicity is good and hopefully bring in more fans, but has anyone got any news on when next fixtures are and going forward are we any nearer rearranging all the cancelled fixtures?, Been away on holiday so missed any info !!

While the Workington away results continue to amaze me, can I ask when is our next home meeting?? Am I right in thinking that the cut off point for the league is around 10th September, think we have 8 home league meetings to fit in before that, then at least 2 (hopefully) in KO cup, then semi final of trophy match against?, And hopefully a play off semi and final to squeeze in, that's a minimum of 10/11 home fixtures, If the weather returns to normal that's another factor to squeeze in, Not being negative I know that the bspa caused most of this, but is asking a hell of a lot to squeeze in and provided the opposition agrees, Come on comets it's coming home lets get the crowds flocking to Derwent park to see some silverware.

Just hope bspa will let us ride home matches, can only dream how well this team could do, it's coming home !!!

Think Poland on a 4 week break, so shud have been some rider wanting to earn some money riding for the comets

Am away in Greece at the moment, was anything said that nite when the next meeting is ? Or does Xmas come 1st

I'm flying to Cardiff gp from Newcastle is that impressive too Jenga ?!!

Put a new thread up you may get an answer

Imo Workington comets and other teams affected by this joke decision by the bspa should tell them to return to the published fixtures, if not all should walk away from speedway and the bspa would be responsible for forcing clubs to close, I love my speedway but think it would be better to have no speedway than to abide by joke decision like this !!

From what we were told on Saturday Workington comets were sent some communication from the bspa to say dispite future fixtures in July and August being agreed and published at the start of the season, they are now saying (bspa) that Workington can't now run on some or all nights due to other teams rider availability or non availability How the hell can the so called controlling body say this and what effects will it have on a Workington buissness plan or fan base, maybe someone can explain how and why it has got to this stage, IMO speedway has very little future if the controling body do things like this,

Been watching speedway since 1970 in this country and abroad, but as far as I'm aware never seen a dead heat, don't think comets been involved in one ? Is this true ?

As far as I'm aware fixtures were agreed at the start of the season for Workington to run mostly Friday nites July/August, now mid way through the season bspa say that is not possible, IMO speedway in this country is f###d if that's the opinion of the controling body !!!

Good nites speedway, some close fast and hard but not ott riding,and a dead heat,not seen one at a meeting I've been at in 48 years, and some handbags as well, good result for the comets, but sounds like bspa don't want us to ride to the agreed fixture list, for some reason !!

Sorry up to 5 now !! Will be at Derwent park when I can, but due to July/August fixtures being mostly Fridays, will be missing every other one due to being at work, it's nearly July and still got 2 tickets left from book of 5 !!! need more publicity from management to let the floating fans know when the next meeting is, as fans hardly know when it is due to the weeks between fixtures, advert at entrance to dp says speedway every Saturday 7pm, wish that was true !!

You can have klint from Workington !!!
