Riss and Wright are former Leicester riders and Jake Allen won 3 races last time he raced there , I think we are well in the tie and if Greavesy hits a bit of form I think we go through to the final , time will tell , apart from Leicester getting battered at Eastbourne they lost by 10 at Berwick that's the biggest defeat they've had so 8 points for me is better than I expected Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why not certain riders have likings for certain tracks , I fancy us strongly to get through as long as Greaves has a decent meeting , like I say time will tell , if we don't get through I'll be on here to say I was wrong, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sidewinder 189 Posted October 5, 2019 5 hours ago, iainb said: My first visit to Redcar last night and what a nice tidy setup you've got up there. The track looked a bit like the Leicester track (with it's weird banking on the bends) but with better proportions, the racing wasn't much cop maybe that was down to the weather? 8 points the diff keeps the tie alive. One thing that puzzles me though, and it may have been gone through before on other threads... but why are you called Redcar, when you are quite clearly nearer to Middlesborough and would probably be better off (media wise) being called Middlesborough? Is it a rights issue of some sort? That was not, a typical Redcar meeting. The track was very heavy, (due to the weather) and consequently the outside line was not effective. The racing wasn't great to be honest, but it was about getting it on. I think it affected some of the Redcar riders, (when they missed the gate), but credit to Douglas and Mountain, who were excellent for Leicester. The tie is still alive (just), Leicester had a couple of lucky breaks, last night, maybe Redcar might get some in the away leg. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
