Sad news that the Comets will not ride in 2019. Success brings big wage bills!!

Not enough paying customers to cover costs.

Wonder how much this will affect town with rent  money and bar takings would have been a nice earner for them

Crack yesterday was that DP pitch isnt big enough for soccer at the moment  , so if the stadium is going ahead the track would be lost in anycase when reds move over to share.

yeah it's true if we move into DP a new wider pitch needs installed. can't see how this will happen half way through the rl season.
