Sheffield V Redcar Now Monday 23/10/17 @ 7.30 Sgbcl

Recommended Posts

Would you like some fish to go with that monster-sized chip?

 

I doubt very much if Redcar are receiving a sizeable bung for the absence of Perks or Andersen - which was the primary rule broken by the current Peterborough promoter.

 

I do agree that a team using SIX guests plus R/R is ridiculous does nothing for speedway's credibility.

 

All the best

And of course it’s letting down the paying public which was another point levelled at Peterborough.

 

You cannot have it both ways.

Fixtures not completed get a fine [depending if you are on the favourite list ]

5 riders injured. Can't blame Redcar for that.

No that’s unfortunate but it’s not those 5 that’s raising the concern is it , it’s Perks gone home to Australia and Andersen gone on holiday

 

My understanding is riders are contracted until the 31st October.

 

It’s clear Redcar haven’t reported either rider for withholding services otherwise they would have appropriate facilities rather than NL 6 pointers.

 

As a lot of the Redcar supporters are saying “they won’t be going”

Exactly - and as we know, one of them wasn't even riding for Redcar when he got injured.

 

It's a combination of a lot of unfortunate circumstances really - this meeting has been rained off three times already this season, and as everyone knows Redcar and Ipswich are ten times harder than anyone else to rearrange, so the meetings wouldn't have been called off lightly. Then Sheffield got involved with all the play off meetings and the KOC.

Meeting postponed and rescheduled for Monday. So at least 1 Bear should be riding!

Not surprising that its off given the road on one side of my office looks very similar to the river on the other side of it!

I get riders being injured, Redcar are just unluckily in that respect. But riders going home or on holidays during the speedway season? The BSPA have to clamp down on riders not being available, the current rules mean the riders get away with it if the club don't use a facility but it shouldn't be allowed.

why should perks not be allowed to go home,redcar should have finished their fixtures by now so he would have booked his flight according to the fixture list, are you not allowed to go home after your shift at work has finished then?

The season ends on October 31st, not before.

 

All the best

You sure are but you're expected to turn up for the next one.
