Edinburgh v Redcar Play offs

Flint in as guest for Kerr. -
Edinburgh v Redcar Play offs
Yearbyred replied to Yearbyred's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Tie is effectively over after tonight’s match. Edinburgh totally out gated the Bears and most races could have been awarded after the first lap. Was an awful watch as a Bears fan. Bears will struggle again tomorrow given the injuries and lack of suitable guests. -
Edinburgh v Redcar Play offs
Yearbyred replied to Yearbyred's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
To be honest I think I’d enjoy it more if mine was pitch black. Terrible meeting to watch as a neutral I’d imagine as we’ve had 1 pass so far all night, but as a Bears fan it’s painful to see. -

That reminds me, Gone fishing is on at 9pm tonight. Hopefully they are as successful as NYB! -

Edwards still out so R/R confirmed on Redcar press release. Need Spud to have a decent to keep it close I think. -

Summers confirmed as guest. Last time I checked the weather forecast didn’t look too promising? -
Redcar v Edinburgh, 7.30 pm, 2nd September (KO cup, Semifinal 2nd Leg)
Yearbyred replied to pvm's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
He is, and was very good tonight. The post I quoted said it strengthened the Bears a good bit and my point was it didn’t - more like for like in my opinion having watched Riss a lot around Redcar. Excellent team performance, probably the best of the season. Charlie back to much better form and the 2 reserves scored really well. Kyle was really good tonight. The change in line up helped the Bears tonight. Sam had a really poor night by his high standards and it was only the ever entertaining Pickering who was consistent for the Monarchs. Another KO cup final. Bears will be underdogs obviously but a good achievement just to get there. -

Riss is excellent around Redcar when fit, so although Lawson is a good guest I don’t think it strengthens us. Hopefully Charles and Jordan are fit enough to race and not just ride. -

Could easily say that about most Bears home performances this season, so it applies to both teams I think. -

Bears press release says Charles and Jordan will decide if they are fit enough to ride and if not it’ll be a guest for Charles and R/R for Jordan. -

From Bears press release Redcar bring in the in-form Richard Lawson at number 3 whilst Jordan Jenkins will make a late decision about his availability due to his ongoing abdominal muscle injury. The Bears have lined up Henry Atkins as a guest if Jenkins is unavailable Jenkins making the decision if he’s fit enough. Some frankly ridiculous posts on this thread. -

Charles Wright hurt and withdrawn tonight for Belle Vue. Hope he’s ok for tomorrow (assuming the Bears management don’t force him to ride of course) -

Lawson guesting for the Bears. -
Same amount of track grading as we get every week. The first track grade was a heat earlier than usual, definitely due to Lewi having 2 on the trot. The meeting was still over in good time, well less than 2 hours, and yes it could be over quicker if no grading was done but would be at the detriment of the racing.
-
I think you need to watch Heat 13 if you think Lawson gifted Redcar two 5-1’s.
-
Sounds like both teams might be scrambling around for guests tomorrow. Douglas will be difficult to replace if he can’t ride.

Championship League Riders' Championship at Poole
Yearbyred replied to cinderfella's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Bit harsh on Kerr there, he couldn’t have ridden much closer to the kerb than he did in the first running of the final. Just a very tight first corner, as you’d expect in a final. Well done to Sam, he’s a class act and well some to Lewi on another good showing. -
Yes it’s too long, but we had 3 lengthy stoppages after crashes, ambulance out a few times and that added a lot of time to the meeting. Even with all the grading, meetings usually are done well within 2 hours at Redcar. If you want a decent track throughout the meeting you have to work on it. Unfair criticism in my opinion.
-
To be fair, they do the same amount of track grading every meeting, don’t think it was tactical, but I get your point.

Well done to the Tigers on a hard earned victory. Obviously gutted as a Bears fan and thought a draw would have been a fair result but not to be. Was a bit worried when I saw Lewis off one in Heat 15 and my fears proved correct. Hope Cook is ok after his horrible looking crash, Charles picked up drive and left him nowhere to go. Fair play to Tom Brennan and a brilliant choice of guest in Spud. Was a great servant to the Bears and a big loss to British speedway when he goes home. Charles and Jason picked a bad night to have their worst nights of the season and King did ok but he’s no Erik Riss (awaits 12 pages of Poole fans replies ) but what a night for Jordan Jenkins, simply fantastic. Despite losing it was cracking entertainment - bit of everything, good racing, bit of controversy (all 4 back anyone?), lead changes and a last heat decider. We may not have the strongest team but you get to entertained at Redcar.

Andersen says he’s fit, so will ride. See how that goes.
-
According to Bears press release Basso is out so R/R for him, Summers guesting for Ulrich and Cook back. Kasper no broken bones but late fitness test.
-
Danny King guesting for Riss. Nothing official on Kasper yet.
