I'm surprised no one has done this yet but the comets return to the tapes in 2027, thankfully! Floodlights, 7pm starts, and hopefully a better season is to come! Who would we all like to see stay in comets colours? 1. Jeppesen - started the season fantastically. Was gating like he had a rocket strapped to him and was unbeatable around northside. Form dropped a little but still put some fantastic scores up. 2. Jakobsen - very erratic start to his British debut and spent most of first months on the deck or injured. Once he calmed down he started putting some better scores up and showed some real promise when dropped to reserve. 3. Tate - was quite consistent throughout the whole season and seemed to push on towards the back end for both comets and Belle vue. Hopefully the Glasgow rumours aren't true. 4. Batch - great captain for us and in his 3 seasons he has rarely missed a meeting. Put some solid scores in home and away. 5. Kemp - up and down since he joined. Some exceptional performances and some very poor ones. Unsure if it's mechanical gremlins or setup issues but seemed to struggle at times. 6. Vinnie - a rider who i felt sorry for. There's a good rider in there but it wasn't helped by suffering a horrible injury at the start of the season and then be catapulted into the main body of the team. He really needs a full season at reserve with better machinery too. 7. Perry - replaced Etherington quite early on and seemed to have hit the ground running away against Scunthorpe. A mixed bag once again. Sometimes good, other times scored 0.

In the recent interview with Mr.Bain, he states that the floodlights will be hopefully going in this winter and next season will be 7pm starts.

Its still one hell of a journey for him to Plymouth from where he lives. He enjoys riding at Plymouth and he deserves to go wherever he wants. Goodluck for future Batch

Running in 2027. UTC!

Tate? Bang average? One of the best young Aussie talents around who struggled last season after coming back from a horrific injury. This season he's pushed on and is one of, if not the best reserve in the prem. He's went away in the prem and put some very good numbers in. Don't discredit a rider because your team are awful

Not surprised with the rain off. Was through Workington today between 18:45 and 20:15 and it chucked it down throughout. Forecast looks awful too. Oh well, half of me is gutted, the other half is happy because in my own little mind, the season still has a little left for us!

I was at Scunny at the start of the season and was shocked by the low numbers. Us comets fans probably made up a high percentage of the total.

They all, apart from Kemp, struggled to get out the gate. That isn't so vital at Scunny but today it will be

Stream today was horrendous. Constantly freezing throughout. Good meeting though. Hopefully we make a return next season because I don't want to lose speedway at Workington

Im getting bored now. I've said that the comment was said in jest.

I didn't say they were dirty? You can clearly see it says "took them out". Yes it was accidental, and my comment prior to this one was in jest. Also, if you watched the stream, you'd have seen the interview with Baz where he said taking Max out was due to him feeling the effects of the crash

Mitch took out max on the back straight with Max coming second due to Mitch's exclusion. Max still had a programmed ride and was replaced by Jakobsen. Drew was taking out by Killeen near first bend

Oxford riders were trying their best to take out our riders. Poor max had to withdraw and kemps sore

I wouldnt be surprised to see Vinnie taking a break from speedway soon.

Only Workington did turn them over. UTC! Guests, in the end, made the difference I think. Harris started poor but his two wins at the end were vital. Boring racing at start but picked up at the end. Especially with Harris bombing around the outside and up the inside

That Workington team are going to turn you lot over. I hope

Poor lad. Gonna be scared off from British Speedway when he rides that rubbishshow of a track.

It's a strange one. I feel like it was ages ago when they announced he was nearly ready to return. Hopefully his health troubles are now over for good and he gets a team place next season somewhere. Very good rider and I wouldnt mind him at Comets (if we return next season)

Correct. I did

Some interesting articles in the speedway forum this week. I would recommend giving it a read. Im slightly more optimistic now than I was after only knowing what Denham has been saying.

Doesn't sound not promising though

Dropping batch is an outrageous decision to be honest. He's posted today saying he has been doing physio and would have been back for this week's fixture. You've now replaced batch who in his last two meetings had top scored for Northampton with a young Aussie who has never rode around Northampton or many of the Premier League tracks at that. Baffling decision, especially when you have others in the team scoring close to zero every meeting.

Bunch of muppets in here. Batch has never missed a meeting for Comets since he started. To suggest he simply didnt want to ride a track so has pulled out of every meeting this week is ridiculous. Yous lot can't put your hate for Batch aside for one second even though you have riders scoring 0 every meeting.

The whole thing makes you wonder if the rules are right. One of our best riders around northside gets taken out by an opposition rider in his third race. That means there are two races that require covering from a lesser average rider. That could have lost us the meeting. They should allow remaining races (if he hasnt completed 3 or more races), to be taken by one above and rest below.
