So after the Comets long away tour the team are back at the GT tyres Arena to take on the Edinburgh Monarchs . Edinburgh on paper do not look like the strongest team in the League and whilst Origami bikes generally don't beat GMs the Monarchs have had some decent results ie the good performance recently at Glasgow. Hopefully the Comets can get back to winning ways this weekend after the mauling at Poole.

Battered, bad day at the office , we move in to Saturday against Edinburgh .

I find the ignore button helpful till some quote the posts.

Poole very strong top four , if we can get 40 points we will have done well.

Don’t worry midget , we are doing fine , enjoy the racing ,support the team we have

Could you explain your statement please.

Will probably happen again , maybe Cardiff. Didnt it happen last year for a GP ?

I was being sarcastic after Saturdays debacle, nothing personal. Thank you.

Is this a definite....................

Most teams seem to be close to each other in the Championship this season , so fine margins indeed , Worky had some bad luck with Efs and re starts but so have other teams that will work against them.

Who won..... not on Eurosport, tried link to Discovery + but not working , tried again later in the night but wanted me to join TNT Sports?

Breaking News Rider reacts when he lost a race......!!! Thirsty rider goes in search of a drink . Team manager seen getting into a car.

Good meeting and a decent crowd including many Tigers fans . Batch looking very classy today , and some tough races when Bomber was involved with some very close finishes on the line. Cookie missed out on another big score with belt failure when well ahead also Comets on a 5-1 when the race was stopped due to a collision the the restart resulted in a 3-3 but that’s Speedway.

The Comets should be at full strength this week with Antti Voulas returning to the side to go up against a strong Glasgow outfit. It shows how strong the Tigers will be when two of there team (Starke and Pearson) guested for the Comets against Redcar last week and scored a combined total of 13 paid fourteen points , they will be backed up by a tough heat leader trio of Steve Worrall, Chris Harris and Leon Flint. Should be another cracker at the GT Tyres Arena.

Agree but.....the track was conducive to good racing for example the classic race between Cook and Riss, also Connor Bailey said the track was good on Facebook . Having good track conditions is very difficult and there are not many times that track conditions are ideal with so many weather variations and track surfaces that are either starved of shale or too much, over watering, or under watering which can also because of weather predictions.

The weather was a bit of leveller but fair play to Redcar they rode well for the win. Classic race between cookie and Riss until cookie fell off, hope he is ok.

The tosh world of speedway , Redcar get beat at home , then win away, Workington beat Scunthorpe easily and keep iit close away at Glasgow the get beat at home by Redcar

Charles Wright excluded today at Workington in a similar way that Cookie was last night, refs seem to be firm on start times, which is fine as long as they are all consistent .

May be a small thing but to title a topic Birmingham/Aces.... eh.

So the Comets are up against the Redcar Bears with 13 points to make up in this 2nd leg of this KOC tie. Erik Riss stands in for the injured Danny King , for the Comets Celina will be missing (riding on the continent) and Antti out injured after the nasty crash last Sunday. Will be a tough meeting for the Comets with big hitters in Riss and Wright plus Knudsen could pile up the points like the last time he was here at the Northside Arena.

I thought Ace had a broken wrist, may not have been as bad as first thought?

Not going.

Tate not well , hopefully better soon, maybe another rider down.
