    Glasgow v Redcar 11/04/2021

    Tough to argue with that assessment.

    Redcar v Birmingham 4th June KOC

    Have to agree with Yerbs. Fantastic nights racing, on a superbly prepared track (well done Jonny Swales). Praise has to go to the Brummies team who fought back, after a tough start, like a lot of riders (probably all), they felt comfortable on the Redcar track and it showed in their performance. There really is no home advantage at Redcar and a lot of visiting riders, get a bounce effect, when they come to Redcar. Once again a great nights entertainment and fantastic value for the decent crowd. I don't know where this leaves us, with the tie situation, but I am sure it will be sorted eventually. I even think, some of the Brummies riders, would like a second leg at Redcar. Oh and just to say, on a red hot night, the water bowser, did not come out once.

    BIRMINGHAM v REDCAR WEDS JUNE 2ND

    Oh dear, that doesn't bode well for Newcastle. They have a similar arrangement, with the stadium owners, on a Sunday. Oh and Roynon as new track curator.
  4. Like I said, I have seen refs, take the easy option many times and make it all 4 back. It depends wether it was the end of bend one or the start of bend2. I think it was the former.
  5. I think I have to agree with geoff 100. The incident occurred mid bend (end of bend one and start point of bend 2). I have seen similar incidents many times, with the result being all 4 back. I have to admit, I thought it was harsh on Jordan. James needs to be more aware of where his partner is. I don't know wether I would say Michael Breckon made a mistake, but he was very harsh on Jordan.

    I think he might be in the seat next to him.

    Sheffield 2020

    I would be incredibly surprised, if Kasper Anderson, was the only work permit/ visa casualty.

    Scunthorpe Scorpions 2020

    Exactly. I wonder if Mat T, might be prepared to bury the hatchet and come back.

    Plymouth Gladiators 2021

    Do Plymouth, have a sponsors licence. This would be needed for the likes of Cook and Ruml.

    I think Barrow Boy, was referring to Ulrich riding Redcar, not Bjarne Pederson.

    The next Polish sensation- Damian Ratajczak

    Impressed. Absolutely.

    Newcastle 2020

    Echo those thoughts THJ. Late 70s, early 80s, Brough was a quality venue, from a spectator viewpoint. Good for food and drink as you have said and very comfortable for viewing. Now, a lack of investment is showing. When I was there for the KO Cup Final, it looked rough around the edges and a bit worn and second hand to be honest. Nothing like in its halcyon days. So sad.

    Thanks people, looked on Redcar facebook page and couldn't find it.

    Was this meeting shown. I couldn't find it.

    Newcastle 2020

    I appreciate all of your points THJ, but I believe the Polish speedway authorities, have already decreed, that if you ride in Poland, then you live in Poland, for the season. By that they mean, no flitting about from country to country. They have also reduced the pay rates by 50% I believe, its kind of a take it or leave it situation. I think a lot of riders will take it. I can't see any British speedway taking place, on the basis, that I cannot see the government, allowing spectators into stadia, before the end of October, (just my personal opinion). So it might be a mute point that riders go to Poland, because I don't think they are going to miss much speedway here. God I hope I am wrong.

    Redcar 2020

    He would be very sadly missed, but you can understand it. He isn't going to earn very much from speedway, this season.

    Redcar 2020

    Agree, don't think we will see any, (not in this country anyway). Thank god for the re- run service.

    Swindon Robins 2020

    That seems to be the cruxt of the matter. If you ride in Poland, you live in Poland, no freedom of movement and toing and froing, from country to country. (Quite how that works if the GPs start up, I don't know).

    Newcastle 2020

    Sadly, I think it is option 3, which fits the bill.

    Does anybody have the Facebook link.
  22. Many thanks to Tapes Up, for providing this and many thanks to Neil Watson and Aceslider, for posting it on here. It is much appreciated, at this time.

    Redcar 2020

    I very much agree. I am a season ticket holder and when eventually, proceedings get underway, (that may not even be this season), then I will get full value for the monies, that I have outlaid, from this promotion. They are very approachable and the customer always comes first.

    Somerset 2020

    Yes I believe that is correct. I don't think Birmingham, have a sponsors licence, to enable them to obtain visa's and work permits.

    Somerset 2020

    Seemingly, you don't know how this works. Somerset (who are holders of a sponsors licence) must have agreed terms, with Luke Becker and now applied for and received a work permit for him to ride in the championship. He needs a separate work permit, for each league (Premier and Championship), which well done Somerset, they have secured.
