Redcar are streaming the match, it has been announced on their Facebook page tonight.

Short answer is NO. No team line ups, no fixtures, nothing……again.

‘Turnip’ appears to be very apt.

Unlike some , I don’t comment on a subject I know nothing about , unless I’m asking a question on the matter to educate myself. I don’t make presumptuous uneducated comments on something I know nothing about. YOU, by your own admission DID. and whilst I’m being ‘ condescending’ and mentioning education, it’s ‘ WHAT ‘ , not ‘ WOT ‘ .

So you admit you don’t know what you’re talking about “ I don’t know wot check’s are made “ but have plenty to say how it should be done ? The match referee checks the track prior to EVERY meeting, he’s an ‘ appointed official’ and each track is inspected prior to an SCB track licence being issued. As previously stated in a prior post ( which you seem to have ignored ) the inspection will only show what’s on the surface not what’s going on underneath or what develops as the meeting progresses. Now you do know ….

Money ! He was told the promoter could do a better job than him and save money at the same time hence the S/Star article by said promoter saying the track had been bad for years , Oh how that has come back to haunt him !

With some tracks not having ‘ a base ‘ just how exactly do you inspect something that isn’t there ?

But is it the clubs to spend ?

Why do you think tractors go out after every four heats? To put the track back to somewhere near how it was to start with ! Track walks are to see what it’s like before the first heat and to work out bike set ups , which if you knew anything about bikes is quite important .

and it shouldn’t be like that three quarters of the way through…

They wouldn’t have seen it on a track walk as it was covered with shale at the time . Have you not noticed the track gets worn each time it’s raced on !!!

Just look on the SCB staff site and you will see the co track curator, co team manager and co promoter are one and the same person.

“You’s” ? New spelling for a female sheep ?

Your getting a rider scoring double his current average for a rider who hasn’t scored half of his. Be thankful for small mercy’s.

and years ago we didn’t have paramedics and ambulances in attendance, it was St.Johns volunteers …..times have moved on thankfully.

Because it depends on their injury and immediate treatment , wether a medic needs to be in attendance as if they have administered morphine the paramedic has to be with him at all times to do the handover. Many riders have made their own way to hospitals during a meeting but with relatively minor or non life threatening injuries.

Teesside ‘ FIP Consulting ‘ Tigers 12 Redcar ‘Erimus Insurance’ Cubs 24. Tigers E.Davison 0 ( from one ride, withdrawn injured ) L.Richardson 3, C.Rushen 9 ( max ) D.McTeer 0. Cubs. K.Lyden 9 ( max ) K.Gordon 6+3 ( paid max ) O.Bovingdon 6, S.Norman 3+3.

Poor entertainment as far as a competitive meeting goes, just the one great ride from Joe Thompson worthy of note. Bears not competitive once they hit the numerous bumps on bends one and two. Easy win for the Lions who deserved the big pay night. Sorry to see the state of the track ( no curb visible on the back straight anymore ) and the ‘ centre green ‘ ( abandoned overgrown wasteland ) . Leicester a cert for the play offs on home form alone.

how many decades ago was that !

but not every club pays those or supplies vans, and Newcastle certainly didn’t use too .

Good crowd, close racing but very little overtaking as the track is one line at the moment with only Nicholls making the outside pass work, hence the ‘ win a race then run lasts scorers. The track may mature as the season goes on and the outside might work more consistently with a bit more moisture in it. Thought the ref should have got a grip of the starts as there was constant movement from both sides in just about every race. Nicholls duped Wright into breaking the tapes and Kerr got away with one after already being penalised, otherwise an enjoyable meeting at a new (?) venue.

Guests are rarely cheaper as they know you need them.

and if the ‘ fastest ‘ rider makes a big mistake on the last bends and doesn’t therefore win ?

Like a fork leg that is used in other forms of motorcycle racing perhaps !
