Brian 63 Posted October 17, 2018 To paraphrase what Ged said last weekend (assuming I've remembered correctly and not made this up) he said that although owning his local track may appeal at some stage, now is not the time. Any thoughts of Ged taking over Redcar isn't going to be now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speedway4ever 117 Posted October 24, 2018 Still no news if we have a promoter for next season. If not then it will be Workington and Newcastle to go see next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wealdstone 3,454 Posted October 25, 2018 Ged said that he would have been interested in running Redcar and Panthers but was rebuffed by current Redcar owners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The current Redcar owners don't like Ged (wonder why) and it is alleged that they have said they would rather level the place than let him have it. How much truth there is in that rumour is anyone's guess. However at Scunny on Sunday it was mentioned that Brian Havelock could be being lined up for a return with JD (as co promoter) and young Havvy (team manager) taking on bigger more hands on roles. Not sure how popular that decision would be; or how true it is for that matter; however if it keeps the sport running in Redcar it may be a case of better the devil you know. As it would be a travesty if Redcar didn't run. (and that's from a Geordie) Regards THJ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there is any truth in that rumour then they are "cut your nose off to spite your face" people and not taking a very kind approach to existing Bears fans ( unless they wish to carry on running it at Redcar ).

True but lets face it when you talk to Ged or if you ever have the misfortune to have any dealings with him you would find he is a rather odious misanthropic miscreant type of a guy. (Just my personal opinion of course however I can see where the Redcar promotion are coming from) Regards THJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sponsored a couple of Glasgow riders in the past and used to talk to Stuart now and then when our paths crossed but since he is off to Leicester I doubt that will be happening much now and being a person who considers himself rather a "gregarious chap" (alright gobsh!te) I will converse with and listen to anyone and value their opinion and beliefs even if I don't always agree with them. Then of curse you can always resort to the "smack in the mouth" protocol that is usually a deal clincher. Regards THJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
