Heavy shower , should be ok now

Agree base your budget on the worst attendance and have a large pot of money to lose .

Hope I,m proved wrong but does not look good and as THJ and Rob says there is no one waiting in the wings to take over.

Another club joins the long list of clubs that have shutdown.

From what i remember its lack of support from the Russian speedway authorities for costs and logistics.

SON Semi finals that weekend.

Thats why hotels are so expensive!!

Forecast looking better now, could be tempted to travel up for this one....

Either Wolves or Dads Army.

A possible double League champion for Rory Schlein?

Cookie only won two heats last night at Ippo, updates got it wrong.

No just gossip and hearsay......

Seems like the major reason for the Eastbourne demise was the pay rates given to riders which were drawn up in 2019 and with the League not operating in 2020 the contract was rolled over to 2021..., seems to be that three riders were on a guaranteed rate, three were on a points based contract and one was on a Hybrid contract. The other main reason was the large downfall in attendances this year

Yes realised BHM as soon as I typed it!Probably Right about Wolves ....or maybe Dads army.

As much as I prefer the track at Belle vue , the facilities and limited attendance available would be a non starter, yes although the Hotels at Cardiff can be expensive (!) and the journey down from darkest Cumbria is not ideal wether driving or via train , I still prefer Cardiff.

Thirty seconds of applause at the NSS on Monday in memory of Taffy.

BHM , champions elect....?

Another good day out at the NSS Belle Vue, good racing, viewing and all round one of the best experiences in British Speedway, even managed a quick chat with fellow Cumbrian Dan Bewley. Also there must have been around 20 Comets fans in attendance in the packed crowd, it just shows that Speedway can be successful in the UK given the right ingredients....

One word, Roof.

Another sad day for British speedway

Very little i would think with so few meetings left.

For years.......

Sad news that Taffy has passed away.

Yes much better access road to Northside. Sad news of a former Comet this morning.

Sad news for Eastbourne fans and British Speedway, looks like another club lost .
