parkendlass 102 Posted July 5, 2019 Great result for the Bears, an excellent battling performance by all the team, and Nathan did indeed prove to be the Bears trump card. After years without any success in the cup competitions, maybe it's the Bears turn for glory ? Certainly, they need not fear any of the teams left in. UTB !!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yearbyred 1,107 Posted July 5, 2019 Good solid performance from the Bears. Think a few things fell our way (Proctors poor points return in the first leg being a major one) but you need a bit of luck to progress sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surprised Glasgow agreed to go to Redcar knowing Jensen would be missing.Paid the price.IMO WELL DONE to the Bears. That looks a decent Team now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheekycobra 159 Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) Do the semi's line up as written in order on the bspa website... Edinburgh v Newcastle. Eastbourne v Redcar, or is there a draw or something? Edited July 5, 2019 by cheekycobra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Endeavour 681 Posted July 5, 2019 Sounds a nail biting match tonight. Any reason given for Cookie not out in heat 15? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Solidmango 188 Posted July 5, 2019 Gutted. Remedial track work was required and whilst frustrating it had to be done. The promotion have done a terrific job getting the track to this point and I believe this was just a mishap that won’t be repeated. Disappointed not to go through and have a sour taste at the way in which Redcar went about things with r/r for Bacon when Anderson should’ve been riding. I also could be wrong but reckon they were deliberately moving at the tapes to put off the rider on the outside of them - 4 times it happened. Unfortunately Kyle had a rare off night and losing Jensen for the first leg has cost us. A couple of positives - Conor looks like he’s improving every lap and the bend 3 bump seems to have been sorted! Back to the league next week with a guest required for Kyle! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You obviously didn't have to sit watching 3 tractors and various trucks going round and round and round and round, riders and ref visiting the track. Redcar did what was needed, congratulations to them. I just want to know what happened during the week that caused so many problems tonight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anderson was not available tonight due to a prior commitment so was never going to sign till tomorrow.

Thought Glasgow had done enough to see job done at Ashfield. Track reading reports seems to have been a leveller. re Kyle; better having a guest for Kyle than having a Kyle for a guest.
