Gen question to redcar fans,welcome back wright or stick with klint???

That's not quite true, is it? Before the close of play yesterday (by the time you posted the above), an item had been added to the Oxford Speedway website, previewing the Plymouth meeting and updating the situation. Obviously, what Oxford were not going to do was promise a meeting next Wednesday until they were in a position where they could, especially after this Wednesday's postponement. The Oxford fans are happy, if you're not, that's up to you. Personally, I'm overjoyed. At points over the last week or so, I wondered if this was the end. You can't please all the people all the time and this is a classic case. You'd think everyone would be happy that a speedway track is continuing, but...

A number of meetings have taken place this week, and the continuation of the speedway is now assured

What's changed, Rob?

I see the Zeilona gora fans lit pyro and generally created a great atmosphere last night at Wrocław but as usual the short sighted authority’s will ban them from future matches, who suffers from the ban ? Every team should be encouraged to take pyro, drums, whatever and make an absolute racket

And in the same breath I’d be disappointed if our top 4 don’t score 42-45 combined, they’re more than capable, especially at home against anyone.

I’ll be disappointed if we don’t get more than a combined 9 from the two reserves. Have to see how Lawson is too. Apparently had a big off at Scunny last night, limped back to pits then ran a last in his last ride. He’s started the season with a couple of big crashes already and he’s now at an age where these things take a little longer to get over! He’ll be important for us here. Probably matters little in terms of actually winning the Cup. The winners will almost certainly come from the other group IMO.

Think they’ll start off with a 5-1 this time though if they go with Cook at two again. We should be getting a heat advantage of some sort in heat two though.

Will be interesting to see if Rob goes with B Cook at no. 2 again. It was obviously used to get 5-1’s with Max (2/3 success rate) and for him to comfortably win heat 8 (scored 0) but realistically should go with Castagna at 2 at home. The same as Thursday this meeting depends a lot on Musielak. He could score 15 but at the same time could score 5. As a Lynn fan I’m hoping for and predicting the latter. Going for a Lynn win and optimistic that they can sneak the aggregate point. 51-39. King’s Lynn Stars 1. Max Fricke - 14(5) 2. Paco Castagna - 5(4) 3. Chris Harris - 8 (4) 4. Ben Cook - 9 (4) 5. Jan Kvech - 10 (5) 6. Cooper Rushen - 3 (4) 7. Jody Scott - 2 (4) Total - 51 Ipswich Witches 1. Tom Brennan - 7 (5) 2. Scott Nicholls - 3 (4) 3. Tobiasz Musielak - 5 (4) 4. Danny King - 6 (4) 5. Richard Lawson - 9 (5) 6. Philip Hellstrom-Bangs - 4 (4) 7. Jason Edwards - 5 (4) Total - 39

Brilliant, thanks

Stand corrected! Had more experience than the two here though. Point still stands, they should have picked one of them and gone for a more experienced number 6. Those two along with Castagna gives them far too long a tail.

I think I got 50-40 right first time around, this time I can't see Fricke dropping points Going 48-42 to Witches, Lynn top 4 will score 36 between them and the tail might muster 6 Ipswich have a lot of firepower lower end, for me always difficult if you start off as the home team with a 3-3 followed by a 1-5 which i think we'll see alot of for Lynn

Sheffield won the KO Cup and topped the league table in 2024 with Edwards and Gilkes.

Came from Sheffield to watch Josh who was great as ever, but was entertained by a fantastic fightback by Scunthorpe. The tie was probably lost before a wheel was turned but we saw a real gutsy performance by the the the home side. Must say young ingram looks like one to watch. He got faster and faster as the meeting went on and was worth his first win at this level. This won;t be the last time I go to Scunthorpe this season.

not sure if he is riding in 3rd division in Poland, cant remember which team.

Worky did very well going down 48-42 but could have won if it wasn't for bad luck when on 2 potential 5-1s 😀 plenty of positives to take, more so that it was the 1st time the team had rode together and without a p+p session. UTC 🔵⚪️🏁😀

I had just got back from Redcar where I was supporting my team 😀 maybe some Poole fans could travel and support them away from home 🤔 probably about 50 - 60 comets fans in attendance 😀 UTC 😀🔵⚪️🏁

Shocking from the Poole team manager , allowing Bowes to cheat in the pits , warming his tyre. Does a TM do anything useful these days other than fill in his programme and choose who rides in heat 15. Newman just 3 more weeks before he is offski and Poole strengthen up their away side. Lawson and his “ rocket🤣” need to calm down , and get some more meetings in early doors before going 110% . Good showing from Rushden, who is settling well at the Championship level. Biting off more than he can chew committing to Poland IMO .

Sheffield fan who went to see a closely fought meeting and wasn’t disappointed was a great meeting to watch will be making the trip to scunny often as I can. agree with the post above saying Rushen and Cairns will win Poole the league both look smooth on the bike and you can only hope they will have massive futures in the sport. Picko managing to control the bike down the back straight on one wheel in heat 13 and still be chasing Zach Cook down for 2nd place was my highlight. only thing I have to mention is the speaker system was a joke sounded like announcer was in the car park needs addressing

I think the track didnt help both sides last night and we were lucky we won as the comets were in the points a few times when they were going to score more points even though jody was unlucky in heat 2. we also need to look at the track as you could tell by the lads faces when they came down to the 1st bend it was not good so maybe that didnt help us either

the presenter does my head in,

This pirate fan is still here, well done Scunthorpe on your victory last night and to Poole safely through to the next round 👍

Was an enjoyable meeting. Klindt replacing the unlucky charles wright actually makes redcar stronger. Craig Cook looked like the Craig Cook of old, the new dane looks a real prospect an was well worth more than 2 points. Jamie Erherington looked way out of his depth. Tate needs to sharpen up his starts. R.E the track, this is where british speedway really shoots itself in the foot, it was dry all day and a suitable race surface should be prepared to last an evening meeting in that time, supporters should not have to watch tractor racing for over an hour on a cold night.

There's an interview with co-promoter Tony Gaul on this weeks Speedway360 show... unfortunately, as usual, most of it is inaudible because of the constant sound issues on that show 👎 From what I could hear, Mark Lemon does get a lot of mentions.

Well I thought scunny put in a spirited performance last night despite the tie being realistically over. Pickering class as usual whilst the young guns of Ablitt and Ingram both impressed me a lot!
