So did Stoney !

The A66 roadworks is a MASSIVE obstacle to those intending to go to Scunthorpe or return from Scunthorpe at the weekend ! I believe that the A66 is closed in its entirety between Penrith and Brough at the weekends. And if you add to that the fact that Junction 40 of the M6, where the A66 from Scotch Corner meets it at Penrith, is completely closed after 10pm each night, then you have big big problem in getting home from, or getting TO Scunthorpe ! It seems that the advisory diversion during the day is via M62/M61/M6/A66. But after 10pm at night, you cant access the A66 from the M6 junction 40 ! It might well be advisable to check the highways authorities for the exact situation, but these sites arent always reliable.

Hi matey I assume you are asking because WH Smith have stopped selling it from this week on ? I bought a random copy of SS there last week, and there was an article in it from the publishers, saying something about the fact that extremely high charges were being levied against them,for them to continue selling it there, so regrettably they have had to withdraw from selling SS in WH Smiths. I think the Petrol station in Seaton sells them..so you will have to jump on the big red bus to get one from there..lol. Not sure if anyone else does. ? Let me know if you find out ? Cheers

Chaps Can we get this subject back on track, and deal with SPEEDWAY ! Thanks

Read the Workington v Scunthorpe thread...and then make your own conclusions...but something had happened in the pits between management and Ty Proctor. No idea what though ?

Quite a shock, when some Comets riders actually came into the Derwent Lounge tonight, well after the meeting had finished and when they have normally long gone ! Rene, Rasmus, and Nicolai, all came in for a while, to rapturous cheers and applause from the people that were there at the time !! I dont think I have EVER seen Nicolai in the bar before ? But they all seemed happy enough anyway. No sign of Ty, Kyle, or Mason though.

Update at 12.25pm......extremely unpredictable and heavy rain showers now hitting Workington. We had a LOT of rain from early evening last night, until 9am this morning. But now its heavy showers. A quick check on Met Office website right now, indicates no more rain from 2pm onwards for rest of day, with sunny spells. I suppose it all depends on how much water damage there has been to the track overnight and since yesterday, as to whether this meeting goes ahead tonight ?

You are JOKING ? ??? Surely we haven't stooped so LOW as to ask that little **** from Truro back here to guest have we ???

Which Cut off date are u referring to ? The cut off date for the play offs is today or tomorrow (17th) !!

Sadly, due to Peterborough beating Lakeside tonight, the Comets have been denied the chance of topping the league table ! It would have been brilliant...but heyho.

Aaron Summers Guesting for us Another rider (dont know who), confirmed as guesting for us. Another Guest trying to be sourced. Rasmus hopes to be riding for us.

Josh Pickering not available...picked to ride in Poland tomorrow !!

Weather forecast now MUCH IMPROVED ! Nothing like as much rain fell this morning, as had been forecast ! Latest Met Office forecast at 1pm shows no more rain all afternoon (Sun is out now). BUT....an hour of VERY heavy rain between 6pm and 7pm only..then dry all night after that. Fingers Crossed !

Ben Barker was in the Derwent Lounge after the meeting last week, and he was asked directly if he was guesting FOR US in the Peterborough Meeting ? His answer was a definite YES. So what the hell is going on here ? This smacks of something underhand !

Terio Aarnio guests for Dan. And Peterborough have Coty Garcia for Tom Bacon, Jordan Stewart for Simon Lambert, and...wait for it.................................................... BEN BARKER for Scott Nicholls ! Aaaaaargh.....NO....this cant be true ??? But it is ! http://www.peterboroughpanthers.co/news.php?extend.3472.2

We are definetly entitled to a GUEST for the meeting at Newcastle in place of Nicolai. So no need to worry...we defo wont be getting a NL rider to take his place. !!

All safety helmets to the ready !!

Seems that Lakeside Management made a boo boo....Steve Worrall had been asked to guest for Richard Lawson, and he had agreed to do so. (It was even confirmed on the Lakeside Meeting Preview on their Website !). He actually got here to the stadium and Jacko swiftly pointed out that he is ineligble to ride tonight due to the 8 day rule ! Lakeside seemed to have forgotten about this when they asked Steve to guest !! He was spotted driving out of the stadium in his van shortly before the meeting started. ...Oh Dear !

The Lakeside 1-7 as advertised on their site here : http://www.lakesidehammers.co/workington-v-hammers-preview/ ...IS INCORRECT !! Not sure in what way it is wrong as yet. Awaiting word !

Can anyone confirm the Lakeside 1-7 for tonight please ? Its not published ANYWHERE !! Amazing ! Thanks

From what I understand from management, (Admittedly via a third person !), we should have a full complement of riders at Redcar on Thurs. We should also have a full complement of riders at home to Lakeside on Sat night. I believe that either NIcolai or Rene could be missing at home to Redcar on Sunday, but the other will be here for the Comets. (Something to do with one of their clubs in Poland no longer in the play offs, so they shouldn't need whichever of the two they normally call for) Hope this helps, but it maybe just confuses the situation ! Lol

They have probably changed 15 times since THAT far back !

Maybe he used to suck on a piece of damp cloth ?
