Just going by what i saw on the Scunthorpe website in the preview it read at the bottom Redcar have two riders out themselves, including COVID-19 victim Charles Wright.

Sedgmen did well at Ipswich though, beat Sayfutdinov! Also when Wright was going to be missing r/r would've been King, Hume, Bailey & Edwards - far weaker than Sedgmen imo. R/R in place of Riss would be stronger King, Wright, Hume & Bailey (or Edwards) but by the time they discovered Riss was missing they'd already offered Sedgmen to be guest.

In case you are unaware (apologies if you are aware!) Wright woke up this morning feeling a lot better and declared he was fit to ride, but Riss who felt unwell during his meeting last night, woke up and declared himself UNFIT to ride, so Redcar switched the guest facility to Riss at number 1. This on Redcar's Facebook and Twitter a/c's. The other one missing, is Jake Mulford. Edited April 7, 2023 by StevePark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yearbyred 1,107 Posted April 7, 2023 Comfortable win for the Scorpions with the Bears carrying too many riders. Douglas was excellent and Tofty looked good too. They will be a strong team this year, especially at home. Wright excellent for the Bears and King, Edwards battled hard. Second strings need to contribute more if the Bears are to compete away from home. Watched the stream which was excellent, what the commentary lacked in slickness it made up for in enthusiasm. Some fantastic racing - 5 or 6 superb heats. Great racetrack. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My comment was due to his attitude when he was a Redcar rider and nothing to do with his current form. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berry9 98 Posted April 7, 2023 I watched it on the stream well done Dan for a great job, you best comment of the night " Redcar fans are the best in British Speedway". I made my decision not to travel when I found out Erik Riss would be missing and I am so glad because a 2hr drive home after that loss would only have fried my brain because Sedgeman was crap and Stoneman delivered exactly what I imagined he would. The second strings were also really disappointing so a big shout out needs to go out to Charles Wright and Jason Edwards who were the only two Bears riders that looked like they actually gave a damn. Finally I expected a lot more from Danny King, but I will reserve judgement for now because I know he's better than that performance 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe people will see that Redcar's tail, isn't that strong( Edwards not included). Not advocating a change in personnel, just hoping they improve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shrimmy 143 Posted April 7, 2023 Slickest I’ve ever seen that track no need really for rob to cruise around in his tractor however it did need a sprinkle of water Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norfolk Bear 250 Posted April 7, 2023 Well I watched the stream & I was a bit disappointed in our performance, That was the worst I have seen from Danny King, our second strings are going to cost us winning anything. Please do not book Sedgeman as a guest again well done to Charles & Jason 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also thought Redcars second strings deserved more for there efforts especially Hume who i couldnt believed only scored 2… King is one of my favourite riders at this level but apart from one ride he just didnt look that fast.. i personally thought it was a good meeting between 2 good sides 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albert 304 Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) Enjoyable meeting.. one or two outstanding heats. Scunny edged it mainly due to the efforts of Dougy, Tofty and Allen.. Credit to Redcar though, particularly Wrighty.... they just missed someone that could match his point scoring contribution... on another day King would do much better... and how much did they miss Erik Riss????
