Agree Halifaxtiger, some people just like a good moan! Cardiff is what it is some good races some ok, its no Torun but Torun is not Cardiff! Welll done NKI a very good racerand looks like a nice chap too.

Very sad news RIP Shazzy.

Should be ok if arriving at 18:45, usually dont get started until after 7:00, take it easy, oh any news if Rene Bach is riding tonight? Oh just read he is riding tonight.

All going well 7pts down after heat 10 then totally battered!!

Oh no...

Were all doomed, still we can watch the GPs on Saturday nights.

A four man Rye House team got within 8pts of Worky last week, could have snatched a draw in ht15.

After a long break from Speedway the Comets are up against Rye House who kept the scores fairly close when the were last at Derwent Park in May (koc) only going down by 12 pts. It looks as if super reserve Kasper Lykke wil be missing for the Rockets with a broken collarbone and Anders Mellgren will also be missing from the side with broken ribs and a punctured lung! For the Comets it could be a full side although if the Great Britain side qualified for the WTC final there may be a doubt with Kyle Howarth who is the current team GB reserve.

So who is the favourite.....Kings Lynn/Leicester.....Lakeside...fourth team Wolves?

Ok for what its worth here are my thoughts.... I,m sure there are some promoters out there who work very hard and try to promote the sport but whatever they are not doing or doing its clearly not working when even the hardcore supporters are becoming dissilusioned with the sport. My main bugbears are: 1. TR rule, i hate it (but i still attend) 2. Fans being ripped off when meetings are rained off either when meetings have started or fans are let into grounds and only to be told its off and no monies returned!! 3. Dissjointed fixture list, going for two to three weeks without a home meeting. 4. Hypocritical decisions on rider safety, ok during the season to cancel a meeting but at the end of the season its "get the meet over with regardless of conditions". 5. Teams made up of r/r , guests etc due to injuries , riding for teams abroad, riding in the EL........etc. 6. Meetings that drag on for hours..... 7. Poor presentation and music. I have been attending Speedway meets since i was 15yrs old and its only this year that i have started to become less passionate about the sport, i think i sometimes go because its a habit.....wonder if there is a cure to kick it!! Oh i forgot to add start times....sometimes 15-20 mins after the advertised start time!

Its the Comets v the Bandits in this League cup encounter at Derwent Park, a pay day for the riders and hopefully some entertaing races between these Border rivals with the League cup places sorted now...i think! Should be pretty close 46-44.

Looks like we will be in for a night of stormy weather and with no plane in sight we could be in for a bumpy ride, with all three Danes back in the side i,m sure the Comets can have a handsome victory at Derwent Park, how on earth will it all turn out, im sure it will be a case of "Alls well that ends well".

Workiingtons first League match of 2015 sees them take on Plymouth Devils with a much changed side. Again its rider replacment for the injured Rusty Harrison and three guests because of the Danish Championchips, filling in for the Comets are Josh Grajczonek, Justin Sedgmen and Simon Nielsen.

Berwick to win , anything from two points to 15 points the margin.

Workington Comets versus the Bandits from Berwick .....guest for the Comets will be Jan Graversen plus r/r, so could be a tough one to win. Rain forecast for Sunday.......who knows, come over any way Bandits fans.

Best wishes to Rusty for a full and speedy recovery, Edinburgh fans trying but failing again in the fairness League. Admit the defeat and other fans will be more fair wth "you". Young Nathan Greaves did well to hold off Sedgmen for a Comets 5-1. Must admit i left after Rustys crash a bit sickening to see right in front of me, plus it was freezing and i thought that would be the last race of the evening.

Weather improving , should be ok now.

The Comets take on the Dukes of Edinburgh in another tough one for the Comets who hope to take revenge on the Monarchs after last weeks defeat at Armadale. Weather......rain forecast all day clearing about 5.00pm........

Is there any financial return for the fans who only saw 12 hts.

How did the ref get the decision so wrong in heat 1.......then is just went downhill fast.

Get well soon Simon.

Some good racing, surprised Richard Lawson did not win more races but Glasgow are a strong side from 1 to 7 and all capable of winning races. some tough no prisoners riding from Kyle well backed by Ricky , Rusty and to a lesser extent Rene who suffered from mechanical problems. Nice touch from some of the Comets fans to boo Richard Lawson, very classy.

The Comets take on the Tigers from over the Border with a strong looking side which includes Workington favourite Richard Lawson. Glasgow to push the Comets very close.....47-43! Not sure if Rene Bach is fit to ride tomorrow?

It was great to see Gary back on a bike at Workington on Saturday night at Rustys testimonial meet, also the interview Gary had with Hoggy after his ride where Gary said he had some dark times after the accident but is in a better place now and is getting out and about doing things and keeping busy. He did say he would like a job in Speedway but has had no offers. Also after Gary had been round Simon Lawson came out and did a few laps on a motocross bike and popped a few wheelies!! Two great inspirational men.

I hope to get up to the League meeting in July , used to get some decent photographs at Glasgow but unfotunately Photography not allowed at Speedway anymore.
