pvm 116 Posted January 25, 2018 Great News.. Based on what happened when we staged the Re-arranged Fours a few seasons ago it should be a cracker of a meeting with great racing, and with it being a Sunday Afternoon in July instead of a Thursday Night in October, it should be an even bigger crowd. A win, win for both Redcar & the BSPA. Well Done to Kevin & Ben.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedcarRacer 228 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) The Arena can easily host a few thousand - a few more food vans and won't be an issue...and the best thing about Redcar is how neutral the track is, not like a Peterborough or Sheffield...

The fact that Panthers were not going to stage the fours has been common knowledge for several months. Certainly no sour grapes from any Panthers fans I know of. Good luck to Redcar for being the beneficiary of continuing reprisals and retribution from he who must be obeyed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cliv Clav 60 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) According to the Speedway Star the Fours will take place on June 1 but, in the fixtures section, there are 3 Championship meetings already on that day. Lakeside v Workington, Glasgow v Scunthorpe and Redcar v Sheffield! I guess these 6 teams will have to find other dates now. What with that and a Good Friday clash of fixtures for Richard Lawson, who has 4 meetings on that day, I hope this isn't a sign of things to come! Edited: This was a mistake by the Star, now been pointed out that it should say July 1st. Edited January 25, 2018 by Cliv Clav Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When the Bears returned to Speedway at this venue on its opening day, there was close to 5000 fans inside, the arena has better facilities now so cant see any problems.
