  1. Several of the reasons Workington did not sign Dan, if fit to start the season, has polish Swedish and possible Danish teams lined up along with belle vue, then world under 21, team U21 grand Prix qualifiers and any team GB commitments, so would be missing for over half of weekend fixtures, so I don't think he will be a diamond
  2. Good signing with cook 10 plus points taken on team building, 2 poor reserves and an even poorer No 2 in sarj !!! No need to build a trophy cabinet again this year
  3. Just to add to this, from what I gather, if fit, he will ride at belle vue, Poland and Sweden hoping to sign to ride in Denmark, then U21 championship rounds ,team U21 rounds and possible European championship and/or grand Prix qualifiers, and maybe full team GB side, so would be unavailable for over half of comets fixtures, it would be good to see Dan back, but not any good if going to be missing most weeks,
  4. After reading in local paper an article with a quote from Laura about yet another case of stupid money being offered to riders, is it not about time the club / clubs and / or riders were officially named and shamed ?? After all one club was quoted to be losing lots of money and must tighten the purse strings, yet this same club is rumoured to be the main one who is splashing the cash, IMO this leads to all riders potentially asking for more money and the club's losing even more money then risk closing end of season or even mid season, Rant over.hopefully the spell the witches put on a certain club to win naff all will continue with an extra spell next season and the trophy cupboard will still be bare
  5. 1st signing announced tonite at 5pm, bugger at work no phones allowed !!
  6. No defently travel plus went to Munich 1989 then a few more in later years, vojens and Gothenburg and ice speedway to Frankfurt and Assen, tee mill tours were about a the same time
  7. Can remember 25-30 years ago going with travel plus to old world finals and they chartered a ferry to take speedway fans to vojens
  8. For what it's worth I think current prices are about right, but don't think concessions should be got rid of, as a vast majority of crowds at Workington ( and other places ) fall into this category, you would lose more money as a lot of older people would not pay. Another point that should be considered is have fewer meetings a month, one week home, one week away, a bit like football, sometimes less is more,
  9. It was -2 when meeting was abandoned ice was forming on both bends and track was white !! So not very original
  10. We now have ice speedway at Derwent park, track turning white as we watch !!
  11. Well chuffed for comets, a big well done, I'm a comets fan but thought it was a poor show for the few Lakeside fans that took the long journey that Messer's Lawson and Morris plus one other did not show to receive a runners up medal !!
  12. Butterflies feels like a herd of elephants in my tum !!! Come on comets we can do it, 48 years is long enuf to wait, it's coming yam speedway is coming yam,
  13. Come on rain do your best, Lakeside starting to get a good lead, any comets fans at rye house please do a rain dance
  14. Well it's the 23rd October season will finish in a week and we are still waiting for the last qualifier to cross the line, won't know till around 21.30 on Wednesday, that's if electric bill is paid !! What hope has speedway got to be taken seriously if the main match of the season is not known, teams can't run full publicity to hopefully attract more fans, traveling fans can't organise hotels to make a long journey more bearable,and fans need to be able to get time off work to attend , just hope over winter the people at the top who ' try and run ' our sport make deadlines so each competition is run on time and spread out over the summer, not scrambling about in the last week of October to fit it all in, rant over !!
  15. THJ seams like you got too much time on yer hands, love it !!
  16. Keep seeing a mention of large crowd but IMO no more than 500 which includes around 80 or so comets fans would not like to see a normal crowd !! Just saying . Ps sound system on 1st bend did not work very well
  17. Can someone who goes to rye house / Lakeside confirm that the 20/20 draw normally only wins £20 or was it due to a comets fan winning you have another envelope to give to away fans, just asking ? As most other places 20/20 draw is £100-200 mark
  18. Seen more dirt on the A1 on way back to Cumbria than at rye house, good win for understrength comets V full strength hammers, but can see it being close tonight due to comets injuries and knocks
  19. Yes but Ryan air fly to Warsaw modlin airport very late at nite and it's 40 mile away from city centre !! KLM worked out more expensive from Newcastle, I hate Manchester airport only use it if I must, any airport is over 2 hours away for me
  20. Ty actually got his arm caught between wheel and guard on Lawson's bike, had to remove wheel to free arm !!! Suspected break
  21. Poor crowd here 50/50 draw only £20 won by a comets fan, come on comets make my journey home nice and short
  22. Having to fly from frozen north via Heathrow, no direct flights fri-mon from oop north, so more than half the cost on flights
