Workington Comets owner Laura Morgan has made a heartfelt plea to supporters to attend what she fears could be the club’s last ever meeting tomorrow night.

The League Cup semi-final second leg against Glasgow (7pm start) will see Comets try to overhaul a 39-point deficit from last month’s first leg.

And Morgan hopes even fans who don’t regularly attend will turn out for what could be a farewell to the club 17 years after it returned to the town.

She said: “Depending on how things turn out during the close season with the AGM, how the league’s going to be structured next year and how our finances are looking, this could be the last meeting at Derwent Park so it would be nice to see as many speedway supporters as possible.

”Even those who haven’t been for a while, it would be good for them to come out and support us just in case it is the last one.”

Two weeks ago, Morgan confirmed she was considering the club’s future and would factor attendances for the final two meetings into her decision.

She said she hadn’t received much feedback to her statement, having missed Saturday’s meeting against Redcar, but that the crowd had been ‘appalling’.

But she is still looking forward to getting back on track tomorrow and seeing familiar faces for what she hopes will not be the last time.

She said: “I did miss my speedway last weekend so it’ll be good to go back and see everybody before we finish, hopefully just for the winter.

”It’ll be a strange feeling, not knowing whether we’re going to be back there again.

”There are so many people and characters I’d genuinely miss.”

Reflecting on the campaign, Morgan said the club’s seventh place finish told the story of their season.

”We didn’t achieve our targets,” she said.

”We had a target at the beginning of the season and that was initially to reach the play-offs and then once we got in we’d rejig that, but we didn’t reach it.

”Some of that has been down to disappointing racing, some of it has been machinery and a lot of it is down to bad luck I suppose.

”I still believe that we were better than some of the teams that reached the play-offs, we just didn’t get it together and do what was needed.

”I see a lot of things and am aware of a lot of things that the fans don’t see but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel let down on occasion.

”The riders feel they let themselves down.”

Morgan said she hopes to make an announcement about the club’s future at the end-of season do at West Cumbria Trades Hall Centre, on Brow Top, on Friday, November 4.

The British Speedway Promoters’ Association’s annual general meeting will take place in the week before that and any changes decided at that could prove decisive in whether Comets run next year.

Morgan added: “We’ve still got scraps of paper lying around with fantasy teams on but it’s all pie in the sky until we know what the points limit’s going to be.

”Obviously we’ve looked at the riders we’ve got and pinpointed which of those we might try and keep and which we think should go off somewhere else.”

The Comets boss said she would like to keep ‘two or three’ of the current line-up, although she does not expect Kenneth Hansen to be at Workington next year.
