WE ARE BACK IN 2023 AFTERALL!!!

We are delighted to announce that with the help and support of Redcar Speedway and the BSPA a new date for the Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting sponsored by RMCS RACING has been announced for Saturday 30th September with a 5pm start time.

We had originally planned to run at the start of 2024, but after discussions have now agreed this new date.

Plans will now start again for the event, and we will be hoping as many Speedway fans as possible will come out and support a true British Speedway star who has had rotten luck getting this event on.

All current sponsors will be contacted next week.

If anyone is interested in some advertising or sponsorship for the meeting, please drop us an email at Robbos Farewell@hotmail.com

Everytime this meeting has been rearranged it has been on a weekend when I'm working... I only work 1 weekend in every 4... I'm gutted  What are the chances... I am delighted for Robbo though and I hope the day goes well for him and this rain stops before then!!

CHANGE OF TITLE SPONSOR FOR FAREWELL MEETING

When attempting the 4th running of the Farewell Meeting, we were kindly contacted by Gordon Pairman with a very generous offer to become meeting sponsor through his RMCS RACING.

With the postponement in March causing a loss of approx £5,000 from the money that was being raised to give Stuart the send off he deserves, we have been looking for additional sponsors/advertisers to try and fill some of that gap created, and Gordon has kindly helped out again, but has also agreed to waive the meeting sponsorship title, and that has kindly been supported by Richard and the team at Rentruck

Rentruck are a big supporter of riders in the UK and are closely linked with the Belle Vue Aces, and they have agreed to help out after a discussion with Gordon. The speedway community never fail to amaze us, and the generosity shown will help towards filling some the financial gap already suffered earlier this season.

So now we have the Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting sponsored by RENTRUCK 

If anyone else would like to get in touch

and help out with anything please drop an email to robbosfarewell@hotmail.com

“We are working hard on putting a line-up together, and it isn’t easy with the Play-off picture meaning some guys can’t commit to an extra meeting, and I get that and fully understand it. There might be a couple of riders in the line-up that people aren’t expecting, but I will be putting together a line-up that will definitely put on an entertaining night.”

ROBBOS FAREWELL MEETING TO AGAIN INVOLVE THE YOUNG LIONS

We are delighted to announce that the Young Lions Speedway group will form part of the Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting at Redcar on Saturday 30th September with a 5pm start.

As you will all know by now, Robbo has always been a big supporter of the work done by Neil Vatcher and the crew linked to the Young Lions, and when putting together the plan for meeting, once again Stuart wanted to give track time to the up and coming lads in the sport

“Supporting the youngsters is very close to my heart, and if it wasn’t for the support I received as a young lad it would have been even harder to make a career in the sport. The package that has been going now for a few years really gives these lads some time on the bike, and I really wanted to ensure those in the stadium get to see these guys in action. I’m going to ensure they all get 3 rides each and hope they enjoy themselves. If there is anyone out there who is able to contribute anything towards the young lions part of the event, please drop Martin an email at robbosfarewell@hotmail.com” said Robbo

Riders taking part are as follows:

250cc William Cairns Cooper Rushen Racing Seth Norman Racing and Caydin Martin Racing

125cc Oliver Bovingdon Racing # 15, Archie Rolph, Ollie Binns and Casper Kluczniak

We look forward to seeing the guys in action on September 30th

 

HOTSHOT BOUGHEN IS RIDER NUMBER 5

The 5th rider to be announced for the Stuart Robson Farwell meeting sponsored by Rentruck is 16 year old British hot-shot Ashton Boughen

Boughen who only started riding speedway less than a year ago only turned 16 last week, but was immediately snapped up by the Oxford Cheetahs for the remainder of their so far successful Championship Campaign.

“Every now and then you get a rider coming through the youth set-up that excites everyone….and Ashton is that current rider. It was no surprise to me that a club had signed him up so early, and already you have seen Ipswich giving him a few guest bookings in the Premiership. It’s nice to see a young Brit given a chance.” Said Robbo

Ashton will be sponsored for the meeting by JOHN AND IRENE ROBSON with his tyre sponsored by MARGY AND FAMILY. fuel for the night sponsored by SANDRA GIBBONS IN MEMORY OF STEVE GIBBONS

IT’S HER GAME TOO AT ROBBOS FAREWELL

6th rider to be announced for the Stuart Robson Farewell meeting sponsored by Rentruck is one to capture the imagination of all speedway fans with the first competitive meeting in the UK for the Worlds Number 1 female rider Celina Liebmann

Leibmann made history when taking part in the SGP2, and has continued her progress in the sport and recently was at the forefront of the FIM Women in Speedway event at Belle Vue.

“When we heard that Celina was trying to secure a place in the UK in 2024, we made contact with her and offeered her a place in the meeting. After a few discussions, everything was agreed and Celina confirmed that she would love the opportunity to be in the line-up.” said meeting organiser Martin Coleman

“So many speedway fans are female, and I think this is a fantastic story for the sport, and for Stuart’s meeting in particular. We have been up against so many obstacles with covid through to weather call offs, and really hope this captures the imagination of the fans in the UK, and as many as possible come out to witness history with Celina taking part in her first official meeting in the UK. Robbo deserves a big crowd and hopefully this will bring a few more through the gates”. Said Coleman

Can Redcar use their track twice in a week? Since the KOC S/F (& possibly final) plus play-offs need to be arranged, I'm surprised this date was allowed. Hopefully for Robbo's sake it isn't cancelled again

Really (really) hope this meeting goes well for Robbo, a popular & whole-hearted trier in his too brief time of one season at Hull in 1997.  Quick question: (apologies if posted I''m supposed toe be working) will the programmes be available before or after the meeting to buy via post, hope so....
