RedcarRacer 228 Posted July 23, 2021 Worst Newcastle team ever, appalling. Good crowd who hope aren't put off too much by the meeting which was anything but smooth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yearbyred 1,100 Posted July 23, 2021 Just one of those nights. Glad it could get through to 10 heats, but even that was a struggle. Hope the injured lads are ok. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz 214 Posted July 24, 2021 Shambles of a meeting!! Problems with the electrics, then ref couldn’t see because of the sun!! Crashes and delays due to waiting for ambulance (obvs not Redcar’s fault). People walking out while awaiting for heat 10 which was ran after the curfew as they had obviously had enough, or was sick of hearing Roy talk rubbish in cheering on his new favourite team! Delay after delay and any new fans unfortunately will not return. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pablo133 49 Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Newcastle team is shocking a team full of second strings and reserves only plus is Roy not returning. Edited July 24, 2021 by pablo133 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redlead 104 Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Just one of those night where things went wrong, no ones fault. Rider safety always takes precedence, which would also include the ref not being able to see because of the sun. The electrical fault was quickly solved and if it had happened on any other night would have caused only a short delay. I took a newbie and she fully enjoyed it, and she understood that it is a rare event for all those things to happen. I assume both teams agreed to run ht 10 to get a result. Redcar has an agreement with the Council to go over the curfew on the odd occasion. The racing we saw was good, and the track good. I hope the injured lads aren't too badly hurt.

Yearbyred 1,100 Posted July 24, 2021 We are very lucky at Redcar to have an excellent promotion and that’s why it’s a shame Jitendra is standing down at the end of the season. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be happy to pay full price for the next meeting, what happened on Friday was out of the promotions control. I agree with the sentiment of Yearbyred, Jitendra standing down will be a loss to The Bears and speedway, although I'm sure the remaining promotors will keep to the high standard Ben has set. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

old bob at herne bay 828 Posted July 24, 2021 Fair play to Redcar for offering the crowd compensation fo the delays. The reasons for delays get ever more inventive. Should they buy a pair of Raybans(other brands are available) for the refs box ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
