There was huge disappointment at the weekend for the Comets legend as his testimonial, which was due to be held at Workingtons Derwent Park on Saturday, had to be cancelled because the track was waterlogged.

Some of speedways biggest names had been signed up to take part in Rustys Didgeri Do, including Rory Schlein and last years Comets captain Richard Lawson.

Harrison hopes he will be able to assemble the same or a similarly strong line-up when it is rescheduled, which is likely to be towards the end of the speedway season.

He said: Its just one of those things. We were a little bit conscious of the weather. If it had gone ahead it wouldnt have been the meeting it should have been.

Its the pressure now to get the same riders again. We just have to work hard towards a new date and getting those riders back again.

Harrison is the clubs second all-time appearance holder behind Carl Stonehewer, who had been due to make a guest appearance at the testimonial.
