Well done Somerset . Proved most people wrong.

I have a ticket will report back on any improvements, might wear my kilt

I would say there are many fans who would attend but for logistics and time off work.

Sad state of affairs running a League meeting long after the title has been won......

Yes I read that!!Cannot see many major changes for next year

Average crowd at a guess....550? So why.... ​Too much Speedway on Tv, maybe with EL , SGP, Swedish League and free streaming on boxes? ​A lot of Sports televised live or freely available, Football from the UK and Europe, Rugby, Cricket and Boxing being big draws for the Public. ​The Comets not having a winning team?, maybe not we always put out a competitive side at the start of the season. ​Saturday race night, many events and family occasions occur on Saturdays, maybe a different race night be helpful. ​Politics of the Sport, rules are overly complex and open to lets say...being manipulated. ​So what could be changed next year if the sport was to survive, possible different race night, a rent paid to the owners dependent on the crowd that turned up, a slick and well presented race format , rider expenses cut. My personal bugbear the TR rule. Transparency from the BSPA. A well thought out fixture list with no long breaks between meetings (weather permitting), maybe a shorter season or get the League campaign completed on time, ie not running matches after the Play offs have started!! Too many riders missing due to doubling up, I know some riders depend on riding in both EL and PL, strange occurrence lately when Eddie Kennet had to ride in the ELRC but had to miss riding for his own team (Rye House) in a vital match!! Just a few thoughts maybe some are not viable ......

November Speedway anyone?

Many thanks to Sue and all the Updaters and texters.

Yes another entertaining night of Speedway and a narrow win for the Comets. For Glasgow the main men of Worrall Lawson and Bach did the bulk of the scoring with the race of the night probably from Bach when he went round Mason Campton !! For the Comets it was a good all round team performance and they all seemed to be really up for a fight to get the win , once again my man of the match was Ricky Wells who came up with a win in heat 15 to make sure Comets won on the night. The crowd was similar to previous weeks but bolstered by a large group of Tigers fans who to be fair made the trip despite being already through to the final, well done to them. Once again a few fans in the grandstand thought it funny to boo Richard Lawson, very strange.

Workington promotion have said that lack of money from food and bar sales which goes to the owners has not helped their current situation

Glasgow win at Worky tonight

Many people though still spend silly money on alcohol cigarettes Sky contracts and mobile phone contract s

Facebook by Kenneth

Apparently said goodbye last week

Workington back in the PL next year!!

No Kenneth Hansen for this meeting

Probably not that different, it all comes down to money, I would say it's less than 50/50 that Workington Speedway will survive

So the Comets again entertain the Glasgow Tigers after the rained off meeting two weeks ago, all we can do is go for the win as the aggregate score is too much to make up. Good luck Worky, is this the last Speedway meeting at Workington, going to be an interesting AGM.......... Weather should be ok but probably going to be a cold one. Speedway, April to September anyone?

Might be a few more to follow Plymouth, Berwick , Workington.

Cannot see anything wrong with what Woffinden did made the Belle Vu e fans look silly by booing him. Well done to Wolverhampton worthy winners. PK made the difference tonight, well done to him on a great career

Not good

Still think Belle Vue can do this.

A wolves win tonight but Belle Vue to win over the two legs.

Must have been too late to buy a ticket!

Tungate was is own worst enemy took the Glasgow rider wide and caused the crash in my opinion , from then on he was poor to put it mildly agree about Starke seems to be the shadow of the rider he was. An enjoyable day out at Glasgow , the racing could have been better not helped by crashes and re runs, we had to leave before ht 14 to catch or train connection. Why no 50/50 draw ? Oh Mason rode quite well and was good value for his points haul.😎
