Apart from when he pulls up at the back.  Kemp isn’t a bad signing all things considered but won’t win you the league…goes missing when the pressure is on 

That's 2 riders that like to poodle around at the back, wonder which one will come last 😂

It appears some comets " fans " want a superstar signing when none are available and on what could be a limited budget 🤔  imo kemp is a good signing,  could be a bit like batch at times, but this year batch has done well for the Comets

Cook wouldn't have won them the league either. Good signing who won't let the team down unlike his predecessor.

Kemp is a really good signing, suits our track for sure. He can be very fast on his day.

Scored 12 points last season at Northside from the No.1 position.

Glad he's been snapped up and in the side for this weekend.

Averaged 8.57 when riding in the No.1 position last season, so obviously has the ability, he kicked on massively over the last 2 seasons.

I would move Kemp to No.5 and have Batchelor ride at No.3 with Tate, but that's just my opinion.

Pleased we have managed to secure a really solid rider at championship level to replace Craig.  Can have mechanical issues at times and be a little guilty on occasions of retiring prematurely but he has a bit of class when he is in the mood. Looking forward to seeing him round Northside a track he goes well at.

I don't think it's Comets fans claiming Kemp is a poor signing it's others.

Some comets fans just don't realise that Cook has been at fault quite a few times with his exploits away from the track but they defend him to the hilt with his mental health issues. Cook is a good rider but Workington could not continue with his commitment to not turning up and not riding.

Decent 100% rider is kemp

Come on mate that’s a bit out of touch don’t you think?

Ive said time and time again about how much of a serious problem the country has with mental health illnesses. Yes he’s let the team down, but bagging people and Craig because of his mental health is just wrong. Do better.
