As always difficult to predict 1Dudek 2Woffinden 3Doyle 4Zmalik I give up after that, I think Cook will have about 2 or 3 decent GPs but may struggle in the rest, Pedersen to have a bad year even though I would like him to be back to his best. As for Hancock could be top three or struggle to make top eight!

I feel the product needs some set standards that need to be adhered to across all clubs. This includes prompt start times, no long drawn out meetings, riders having some real attachments to clubs not just riding free lance which has got to now, no TR rule, better presentation, tightening up of the rules....some of the things that have gone on in 2017 have been laughable. Do I think things will change for the greater good in 2018.....no.

Richard Lawson has signed for Opole

Yes that’s the team’awesome

Team full of heat leaders if I remember Kenny Carter at reserve

Ag Agree I think this needs a topic on its own Track lighting is there a standard for all tracks. I very much doubt it

A parade is ok if it starts 10minutes before the programmed start time.

Ben Barker in for Craig Cook

He does (PC) have a point regarding the state of the sport though He also says that referees get a life time pass too.

Fans have been saying these words for years now but many promoters seem intent on burying their heads in the sand and blaming fans for not attending to watch a inferior product Do promoters not realise the strength of feeling that many have towards the sport!

Speedway seems to be its own worst enemy and shuns exposure keeping to its own world of tight knit media franchise. To hell with any one or organisation that tries to advertise Speedway!!

Craig will miss Workingtons next away meeting at Glasgow on friday night (guest allowed) and with r/r for Thomas Jorgensen and Matt Williamson out injured its very doubtful that i will be making the trip to Glasgow. I can see the wrongs and rights from both sides, the BSPA by allowing the rider to recover from illness (or not ) and Craigs genuine illness but his teams lose out. http://speedwaygp.com/news/article/6177/cook-forced-out-of-cup

Definitley down at Workington.

Strong and Stable.

Friday 20th October Glasgow v the Workington Comets at the Peugeot Ashfield Stadium Tapes Up 7.30pm

First time for the Torun GP for me and really enjoyed the whole weekend. The town itself is very nice , good bars and fine food which is very cheap to, I found the people to be helpful and friendly too. We had some great seats for the GP , sector S, level 1, it did take a little while for the racing to improve but overall a very enjoyable night. Oh the fireworks were good when the eventually got going!

Well done Swindon , great advert for Speedway.

The Comets are up against the Newcastle Diamonds this Saturday night to complete Workingtons home fixtures. Thomas Jorgensen will be out so it will be r/r for him and probabaly Tom Wooley at no7. Weather forecast at this early stage does not look promising.

Said last night on BT will have a look at the dates.

Been through this many times in the past............................ Presentation, prompt start times, better music, twisted rules, politics in the sport, double up/down/backwards/forwards and return, starting rules, gaps in the fixture list then scrabble to get fixtures run in late sept/Oct, riders missing for many reasons including riding in the Latvian junior u21 but only on a Sunday but if its rained off you can have guest rider plus or minus 9.72224 average. I could go on ...., im sure i have missed something else.

Is that you in the Belle vue jacket HT?

Well done to Sheffield.

Well done Peterborough on the win too much strength in depth for Worky some good races on a cold night, not helped by many re runs and falls. Thought James Sarjent was hard done by the ref when excluded for being the cause of the crash in ht 2, just hard riding and cannot see how the ref could see the incicdent? Good win for Matt over Harris.

Maybe my last visit to Workington Speedway.
