Didn't I see somewhere that Sedgman was retiring?

This talk doesn't help the comets wether theirs any truth in it, as far as I'm aware all riders have been paid. Maybe one who walked out on the club and left them in the lurch may have outstanding issues, ( was on his socials ) but would you as a business pay someone who has walked out on you 

Also several other clubs are rumoured to be bad / late payers if you listen to what has been said 

Or on the other hand as a self employed person would you turn up to work for someone if they're not paying you on time.  I don't!

Vinnie was on Face Ache saying he would like to be back at Workington he is a good reserve and will be getting Premiership experience now. 

We are still short a proper No1 ??

What's the chances of Jonas coming back, it was said somewhere that he was done with UK speedway, was a good rider most of the times, but possible polish commitments may not help

He’s got a very well paid job back in Denmark, and, I’m sure I heard, pays way more than championship racing. Sure he was to have said he would be happy riding Denmark Wednesday and Poland on the weekend.

Oh right that's what happened then because I've always wondered why they went so slick because the track in the NDL and our first Championship season was much better racing and no where near as slick as the last two years.

Let's get them starts ripped right up and our riders get set up for it 💪 

I can't remember a dull match last season, some of the racing was top notch, Our biggest issue was getting enough moisture in the track pre meeting.  Once Cookie who is a consistently top trapper like Batch let us down again then we were up against it .

We don't rip up the starts by choice, does it make any difference? it's still about 4 riders dropping the clutch and getting to the first bend in front , we were maybe second best at this on too many occasions at Northside last season but that can also add to the racing quality .

Apart from Berwick and Poole I thought we were a decent team to watch away last season even with the problems and injuries. We achieved 40 points more often than not which for a travelling supporter can make the journey worthwhile, there is nowt worse than to travel a long way to watch your team get thumped.

At least Poole is a nice area for a laal break, speedway is the excuse to go there 😄 yea as a traveling supporter apart from I think 2 meetings, the matches went to a last heat decider, granted non went our way, but worth the journey to support the Comets 🔵⚪🏁
