topaz325 Posted Thursday at 11:12 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 11:12 AM After last weeks tough match against Oxford the Comets are back in League action looking for more points to lift them off the bottom of the table. The Monarchs bring a decent side to the GT Tyres Arena and will be eager to push the Comets all the way. Its a busy weekend for the Comets with away matches at Edinburgh on the Friday and a trip to Oxford on the Sunday so a testing time for riders and machinery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also praised Vinnie’s efforts despite not beating an opponent, the problem is he never learns from his mistakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Well we didn’t half throw that away, bonus point a small consolation imo. Had to kill that meeting off and we done the opposite. A very non Victor performance, sedgy on the road the last two meetings have been disappointing and the usual from the usual. Positive young Jordy coming on leaps and bounds great to see.

JanAndersen Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Hts 9-13 a total disaster after a really strong start. A meeting Edinburgh should definitely have won. Anyway, that aside - Jonatan, Paco and Jordy were really good. Kye had his moments but the others meh. First visit to Northside and was hugely impressed. Perfectly set up and so good to see a purpose built speedway venue. Hopefully the locals continue to support it - I’ll definitely be back. Free entry for the kids, sticker at the gate and a free post race ice cream means my two went home very happy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellevueace Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) I enjoyed my first visit to Northside very impressed by the overall set up, one look at the track you can see its designed to give riders the opportunity to race so without a doubt that will provide some great racing, the conditions being hot, dry, and with that stiff breeze that was blowing made it very difficult for the track staff. Its does also seem to have the capacity to be developed further as the club progresses, reminded me a bit of Somerset and how that developed. I will certainly be back, at first it looked like the Monarchs were going to win at a canter but Comets made a great fight back to take the last heat decider. A great day out except for the 45 mins delay on the M6 for an accident and a 1 hour delay on the A66 where i believe the air ambulance was called out, but it didnt spoil the day, congratulations to all that brought the Comets back with this facility.
