topaz325 Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 After a long break the Comets get back into action against a Plymouth side who could cause the Comets some problems with riders capable of scoring big points. Ex Comet Nicolai Klindt returns to Workington and will certainly figure in many top clashes with the home riders. The weather forecast is looking good for the weekend so hopefully a big crowd will be present to cheer on Worky to a home victory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woke23 Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 Jonatan Grahn comes in for Fraser Bowes. After seeing Grahn around northside the other week, I think that strengthens us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnus Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 Should be a good meeting and the start of a fairly continuous run of fixtures for the Comets. Lets get down to the GT Tyres Arena and make some noise 👌🏁🔵⚪ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downside is that you're going to need a guest to replace the sacked guy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poland have priority so if they want their rider he goes there even if he ends up not actually riding. It's not he like signed for a Polish team mid season either he was riding over there before he came to the UK so Workington can't be surprised. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downside is that you're going to need a guest to replace the sacked guy! That would be an NDL 2.00 rider, then. Unless they've changed the rules, if you sack a rider you can't use guests of similar ability (unless the sacked rider is also a 2.00 rider in the NDL of course!), you can only do that if the rider is "withholding his services".
