ScunnyDan 335 Posted July 10, 2019 Can see a slight home win here, although I do hope im wrong... 47-43 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boz 315 Posted July 10, 2019 I don't think even the most optimistic Bears fan will be predicting a home win in this one! Stewart missing a massive loss on his recent home form, and obviously with no number 1 going to be incredibly tough. Added to that, Ayres superb form around Redcar this season can only see a 10 point away win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speedway4ever 117 Posted July 10, 2019 I don't know because watching them at Newcastle on Sunday gone they were well behind the Diamonds points wise apart from Barker. We have Wrighty, Tofty, Andersen and Greaves that can do well on the night. I might be wrong, but never say never. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Auty, Allen, Ayres and Barker enjoy riding Redcar more than they do Newcastle though. Much less home advantage. Kasper is making his home debut so it’s unfair to expect him to be consistently scoring and he will have to take at least 5 rides. With a full team I’d predict a comfortable home win, with the side riding on Friday Scunthorpe should be picking up 4 league points. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie4388 677 Posted July 10, 2019 I still think Redcar will win this even with the NL number 1 and R/R. Can't see anyone touching Charles Wright who should go through the card. Ayres and Barker will score well but the rest might struggle, Auty struggling everywhere apart from Scunny and Allen isn't 100% with his Shoulder problem. The meeting could well hinge on who does best out of Lambert and Greaves and which number 6 beats the other in Heat 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gringo 142 Posted July 10, 2019 I like the move of Wright to No.2. We can win this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fozzie4388 677 Posted July 10, 2019 Redcar: Ben Rathbone, Charles Wright, Kasper Andersen, r/r for Jordan Stewart, Michael Palm Toft, Nathan Greaves, Tom Woolley Scunthorpe: Josh Auty, r/r for Stefan Nielsen, Danny Ayres, Jake Allen, Ben Barker, Ryan Kinsley, Simon Lambert.

Yearbyred 1,099 Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Nice gesture form the Promotion to take £2 off adult admission due to the under strength Bears line up. Revenue will already be down as I'm sure the gate will be affected. Edited July 11, 2019 by Yearbyred 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They knew when they signed Riss that he would have other commitments which would take priority. Why do you not think it is the clubs fault? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scunny1 434 Posted July 11, 2019 Yay £2 off admission, that gets me as far as the M18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why do you not think it is the clubs fault? True, the club already knew, but I just think its a silly rule overall where a rider riding in Sweden, Denmark or Poland can be covered, but not any other county. Its the only meeting Riss will miss, so in the long run he was well worth signing. Its going to make tomorrow very interesting, but the pressure is on Scunny, who don't want to loose to a four man team. Bring it on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yearbyred 1,099 Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Jitendra has put a detailed response on the Bears Forum as to why the decision was made to sign Riss and admits it was a calculated gamble knowing that he would miss 2 home meetings (this week and next week) but that we would have guest facility next Friday. Tried to get the meeting moved but couldn’t reach agreement strangely enough. In the long term it’s a move that gives Redcar a better chance of making the playoffs which is hard to disagree with. The Promotion didn’t have to give a detailed explanation or offer a discount but they have and deserve some credit for that. I would have thought the Scunny fans would welcome not only a much better chance at winning and £2 staying in their pockets (feel free to pay full price).
