Terrace Grumbler 337 Posted October 20, 2019 26 minutes ago, mike7164 said: However in my opinion our 90th Anniversary meeting being attempted so late in the season because of the earlier cancelation is ridiculous! I have a feeling that the anniversary meeting was never going to happen anyway. It's half term next week so I won't have the opportunity to pay to use my season ticket for the cup final, and our season is therefore over unless we go to the Silver Helmet meeting (which might be a good idea). It just feels shabby, somehow, but I do hope the cup match is run next week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's only a few weeks ago that Redcar apparently wouldn't come to Brough aa it meant 3 meetings in 3 days. Southern Tours used to be longer than that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boothers 223 Posted October 20, 2019 50 minutes ago, mike7164 said: I would say on this matter Newcastle speedway are NOT to blame as it was only a few weeks ago when yourselves and Eastbourne got around to completing your Legs. I agree that Newcastle are NOT to blame. Bad weather is not Newcastle's fault. If however you wish to apportion blame to Redcar for the farcical situation we find ourselves in due to the delay in running the SF against Eastbourne then I would just like to say that it takes 2 to Tango, and 2 teams to run 2 semi finals. Perhaps Redcar were NOT entirely to blame either! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our alternative day is Monday, and the stadium owners have advised that the stadium is being used, so therefore next Monday has been reserved with the teams , the BSPA and the Stadium.

I am not saying that, however given your account on this mater I would suggest Redcar are more to blame that Newcastle for running the final as late in the season! But I did also name Eastbourne in my post so its between you both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You also had a bye into the QF hence 2 less matches to arrange - I appreciate it hasn't been an ideal situation but there are valid reasons why we are where we are, not least the typical British weather at this time of the year.

As Sunday is our designated race day so they say they are going to try and run on the Sunday 27th but have Monday 28th as a last ditched back up date! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
