ONTWOMINUTES 126 Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) It's ok , I didn't want to get into arguments about what amateur is but I'm just ignorant about it . I wonder if leon flint and Kyle bIckley to name two , would class themselves as amateurs. Sorry to ch958 for making stupid comments.

SSL84 541 Posted April 10, 2021 Think the practice's are over two day's and split into morning and afternoon times. So you would not see all the riders altogether because of covid rules and means no public allowed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ringitsneck 348 Posted April 10, 2021 It appears Redcar fans can’t read there own club Facebook pages. The ‘ Amateur ‘ meeting is ONE day, with two sessions, morning for most classes, afternoon for the ‘ Open ‘ class. No spectators. A very impressive turnout for an ‘ amateur ‘ meeting and it’s a sponsored event too , by NPNG Haulage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bloom89 496 Posted April 12, 2021 What about Ellis Perks for the last spot? He was practicing over the weekend albeit on borrowed machinery. Obviously mustn't have any equipment left so could be a tricky one to sort out but options for Redcar do seem limited. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flagrag 704 Posted April 12, 2021 Ellis Perks has suddenly become very much in demand and it looks like his mind may be changed about riding again. However the current favourites to sign him appear to be a more Northern team than Redcar as they have a major sponsor prepared to finance the deal and cost of equipment and they would be saving more over the year not paying airfares for an overseas rider 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pvm 116 Posted April 14, 2021 Kasper Anderson refused work permit Full Details :-Further blow for Bears (redcar-speedway.com) Quote The Redcar Bears’ promotion were dealt a further blow this week with the news that their young Danish prospect Kasper Andersen has had his application for a work permit refused. Although Andersen can apply again, his visa issues in addition to concerns over recent travel restrictions imposed by the Coronavirus pandemic, have resulted in the club and rider parting ways for the 2021 season. Both the rider and promotion have parted on good terms and on the understanding that the decision is a result of difficult and unfortunate circumstances that have been imposed on both the rider and club.

There isn't much out there with regard to 6+ averaged riders so Redcar may struggle unfortunately... unless the promotion can pull a rabbit out the hat with their New Zealand connections it may be a couple of 4 pointers or James Sarjeant and the eponymous A. N. Other... strange times indeed... Regards THJ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
