    Reading the press release and believing the press release are very different things.... 

    So do you believe Mulford has signed for Middlesbrough???

    Playing devils advocate here but all Redcar need to do is find a rider with a higher average than the points they currently have left and ask the bspa to up the limit slightly… precedent has been set by Edinburgh so happy days haha.

    OR get a rider in so they come to 37 points and put forward the case that the limit should be lowered and other teams have to change  :D

    So how come, Redcar raced against Poole on a Friday and had an amateur meeting on the Saturday, this season. Earlier in the season, we potentially had Stuart Robson's farewell on a Sunday and Redcar v Newcastle on a Friday in the same week. Loads of other instances, over recent years, It seems to me, that if its in the lease its not enforced.

    I would have thought that any daytime activity is unrestricted so Saturday amateur/practice sessions, meetings on Sundays during the day and any ad hoc practice which goes on during the week. After all it is a Motor Sports park so other motor sport activity is already taking place and making noise. Again I would think the lease restrictions refer to evening activity prior to curfew.

    How about specifying no guests from clubs in same qualifying group or from other teams left in the competition?

    How about specifying that in league matches you can't use guests from any club in same league >>> Same principle

    Is this a new or were Redcar just being generous.

    It seems to be a new thing they are trying, it then means the riders ride out in order to be introduced to the crowd, without helmets, so no stopping to do practice starts etc. one lap and straight back into pits.

    Personally I like it - with a normal parade the riders all sit with helmets on then it is a mad rush to get pushed off  and absolute total chaos - just feels more professional way to start the proceedings

    Thoroughly enjoyed my trip down to Redcar last night against a good Diamonds team. If we had had something like that team in the last couple of years we would still be running, instead of being butchered.

    Thanks go the Redcar promotion for the agreement to hold this meeting, which benefited both clubs supporters.

    Thanks to all the ex Diamonds sponsors and the Diamond fans for sponsoring the meeting and making it possible. It was great to see the number of Diamond supporters in attendance and I hope that will be a sign for the future. We all need our fill of Speedway so why not support Redcar who has so many Newcastle connections. 

    Amazed at the condition of the track especially after its condition on Sunday. It held up well, obviously slick but it did mean that practically all races had 4 riders together instead of being strung out. It wasn't ripe for passing, but there was the usual burst around the boards coming out of the second bend still and a few tried it. Pity about Danny K's fall after taking it on but pleased he was OK. 

    On my way down I went through heavy rain the other side of Hartlepool, but that's where it stayed, except for a few drops later on in the meeting.

    Nice to be involved with the Junior match again, with some decent performances in the Cubs 8 point win.

    I think the Bears will do well this year, with 3 top heatleaders, and some gutsy second strings and reserves. Not a good night night for Jake M, as he couldn't get out of the gate, but when he does watch out for a fresh new talent to emerge. He is very fast, only 18, and I had the pleasure of watching in the Colts team all last year. He's going to be a great reserve, the same as you had last year with Jenkins.

    So yes, I am now a Redcar supporter now. They have done wonders to get where they are and it will continue I am sure.  

     

    Looking forward to seeing many profiles change to Team: Redcar (on loan from Diamonds) :D

    Just read that the Championship riders final is at Redcar this year.

    Good news for Redcar. 

    Disasterous news - need to get it  moved :angry:

     

    Why ??  Someone's wife suggested a nice 5 day cruise leaving on a Saturday returning on a Thursday so no impact on Speedway, and it's all booked :cry:

    Would be interesting to know who they were going to have instead of James Shanes and also who was in before Erik Riss! 

    May come out via rumour mill, but the promotion at Redcar are too professional to name names, even if they haven't been their most favourite people!!
