Workington Comets have announced they are set to step back up to the Championship in 2024.
The Comets were revived at their terrific new Northside facility this year and have competed in the National Development League following the closure of their former Derwent Park home after the 2018 season.
Promoter Andrew Bain confirmed during Sunday’s NDLRC that they will move up next year, taking them back to the level where they took the title the last time they competed.
Subsequently, because of the closure, they were unable to defend a host of silverware from that campaign.
Bain said: “We’re going to take Workington back to where they used to be, where we were at in 2018, so next year we’ll be back in the Championship.
“The local teams are a good draw, and hopefully we’ll get plenty of away fans coming, and some good racing.
“Everywhere you go you hear fans talking about how good the racing is, and we want to keep on progressing.
“We’ve got brilliant fans, they get well behind the team and they’re good travelling fans as well, so they really deserve it.”
Workington first joined the second tier of British Speedway in 1970 and after disappearing in the 1980’s returned to Derwent Park in 1999 – again in the second tier of British speedway.
The revival this time round saw the Comets start-off in the third tier – the National Development League.
