northyorksbear 610 Posted June 10, 2014 Redcar twitter is reporting this meeting is now postponed due to clash with England v Uruguay world cup match - no new date as yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Skid 425 Posted June 10, 2014 What a joke, football fixtures been known for ages, Redcar must be in a time warp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted June 10, 2014 Why didn't they just postpone the England game for those watching Redcar to be able to see it? Professional sport my backside! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Skid 425 Posted June 10, 2014 Genuine reasons for calling a meeting off now include, it might rain in a couple of days, there's a football match next week, we've got a burst pipe, the generator isn't working, and people wonder why it's treated as a joke sport.

Shadders 4,135 Posted June 10, 2014 British speedway is dying on it's arse. What a joke, football fixtures been known for ages, Redcar must be in a time warpTeam changes must be imminent at Redcar. I tried to book the Thursday off to go, but no slots available. Lucky me!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boz 316 Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Would have been financial suicide to run against an England World Cup match so have no problem with the call off - more worrying is that was scheduled in the first place! Edited to add that it should probably have been called > 10 days beforehand though. Edited June 10, 2014 by boz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike.Butler 601 Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) surely with some foresight they could have scheduled this for one of the blank thursdays they seem to have had already? Edited June 10, 2014 by Mike.Butler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted June 10, 2014 wht oh why can the bspa and fifa get together over a cup of tea to sort out this fixture clash. i would have gone to watch the england team in brazil. but didnt go because i thought england would call off because redcar were running a speedway meeting against rye house.. have it on good authority that wilko and laws were planning a footy night out in the pub.lol.

Dave Stummings 126 Posted June 10, 2014 Well I have booked two days off for Redcar and Edinburgh. Hotel for the night in Redcar and Edinburgh then the journey home on the Saturday for Rye House. Okay I can cancel the hotels, but not my leave at work. I'm fumming Silver has agreed to cancel this, surely he had a say in the matter? Redcar should have canceled as soon as the England fixture was released. I'm really becoming totally cheesed of with speedway. I'm so unhappy with the way Rye House is being run and this just about tops it for me. Edinburgh for a one off, no thanks. Right now I really feel like walking away from Rye House and speedway in general. But I have said this before and still go to Rye, but this just may have been the straw that broke the camels bacl!

Shadders 4,135 Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Agree with some of the comments above. Why wasn't this fixture moved when the football fixtures were known? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the World Cup draw made BEFORE the speedway fixtures were announced? They've had months to rearrange this Edited June 10, 2014 by Shadders 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Promoters by in large don't give a monkeys about their supporters, just as long as you hand over your money and they are happy. The World Cup draw was weeks ago, fixtures and venues were sorted out soon after. Feeling your pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is shoddy (to be kind) by Redcar. Then you wonder why crowds are falling. Edited June 11, 2014 by Steve Park 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
