Nobody complained then Time has moved on and it was merely an observation but unvalidated as I am not at the meeting and without attendance figures being published, who knows. It still comes down to being short changed and the point of the comment was to possibly highlight a reason why some feel that the clubs are taking the p.. and that is understandable. Frankly those in charge have learnt nothing over the past year or so and take every paying punter for granted. SS makes a valid point re streaming and many would watch and the Glasgow meeting is a fine example. Many will pay to watch conveniently but will not drive miles to a track but the sport has in many areas failed to keep abreast of the times. The sport will fall on its sword if it does no wake up to the technology. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep everyone fit and available and they’re favourites IMO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes because it’s a secondary visa ippo had to wait for his primary visa submitted by Redcar to be approved which got held up for some unknown reason but we couldn’t apply until that one was done - farcical given how long the teams have known he’s riding for their teams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A draw a fair result overall. Both sides can point to if and maybes In a largely gate and go meeting (although most heats were hard fought and rarely strung out) the two well crafted overtakes by Bewley on Heeps and then Allen showed his huge development and class 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jordan Stewart applied for his visa in December 2020. It’s taken UKVI almost 6 months to process his visa, entirely due to Covid 19 and not because of any lack of urgency by rider or promotion. His visa arrived for Redcar last Saturday! As clubs that pride ourselves on a professional approach, both Redcar and Ipswich have done everything as early as we possibly could, but have been in the hands of the people and organisations that process these applications. Covid has caused an endless number of problems for all of us, visas being one of them. I hope that clear things up.
