Weeyin 1,022 Posted July 6, 2019 Congratulations to the Bears , the better team over 2 legs, Nathan Greaves the match winner for you. We missed Rasmus on Tuesday for sure, however it may not have made much difference as we struggled on the track as it was totally different to the previous week, this due to major track work being done during the week to fix the bends, resulting in it breaking up a bit. I hope the Bears go on and win the cup , they deserve some success and they are going to push a few teams this season. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paulco 7,078 Posted July 6, 2019 Well done Redcar , hope you go on and win it now . As I feared , Greaves at reserve was the key to our downfall , though their three heat leaders looked very quick also . Plus side for us was how competative and determined young Connor Bailey looked last night , he's going to be a good un. We've still plenty to race for yet , this is just a wee setback . 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two teams ride, not just one. Believe me, following the Bears has seen a lot more lean times than most, but they are my team, through good and bad, it's nice to have a bit of the good times. UTB !! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Money bags comment rears its head again , if being proactive in promoting the sport and doing there best to give the best facilities and team then i dont see what is wrong with that. Do you. Whilst it is good to be gracious in defeat, one should also not gloat (too much) in victory, certainly not to the extent of abuse - to mirror a previous comment it is good to see genuine Bears/Speedway fans enjoy the victory and be grateful!!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's been not easy at times for the Bears fans since you came back in 2006 , but this season you have a team capable of winning silverware and out of the teams left in the cup , I don't see any of them beating the Bears over two legs 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure you know what you're talking about when it comes to tracks 3ft deep on the outside no rider in the world could ride a track that deep! And before you ask I do know what I'm talking about when it's about tracks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JanAndersen 822 Posted July 6, 2019 Tidy. Cook round Armadale was our main worry so can’t see Edinburgh not winning the KOC now. Trick track against Newcastle and we’ll be home and hosed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol. i notice your silly name pop up on any thread when Edinburgh lose but can’t take it back. Difference is, I don’t care if people think I’m a knobhead. You clearly do and get extremely wound up, like the Gavan of this section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cityrebel 2,960 Posted July 6, 2019 Eastbourne, Edinburgh & Newcastle are all tough tracks for visiting teams. I can see some big home wins in the semis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what part you don't understand but having the solitary brain cell won't help i suppose Lol. And i have noticed Gavan ripping you a new one most of the time , now hop along son theres a good lad. It is Obvious you can't grasp the concept of banter yet , don't worry it will come eventually when you get bigger. And as for stupid name PINNY you should change yours then maybe Gavan will stop mocking you. Edited July 6, 2019 by Gazc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is what it is, can't really blame anyone for enjoying some success especially when you have been starved of it, we know how that feels. Was really impressed with the Bears last night and good luck for the rest of your season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
