We tried it the other way round and it just didn’t work. 8 hours ago, Jaizer said: Yeah Tom and claus seemed to trip over each other. And both have had habit of poor meetings at same time I have to agree with @Beirao that Basso should be at 5. Looks a weak pairing when Brennan rides with the reserves imo. If Brennan & Vissing don't ride well together, why not try Vissing at 2 and Nowak at 4? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bear_Bottom 516 Posted August 4, 2023 Redcar Bears Speedway ·FB Meeting Postponed Unfortunately the overnight rain has been the last straw and the track is now waterlogged, with more rain forecast today there is no chance of preparing a safe racetrack so we have had to make the tough decision to postpone today's match against Glasgow.

Switch it to ashfield, perfect weather up here today . Which is of course the usual when there's no speedway! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's an option, but Marcin and Bomber race quite well together and Marvin's form has been noticeably better the last three meetings - I'd be minded to leave him there rather than risk upsetting it.

Starting the league matches in June and trying to spread out the Whopping 8 meetings to make it look like there's lots of competitive speedway probably wasn't a great idea. Had they started in April without any weather issues it would be all done by the end of May. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it would be better to have matches early and often, and then fill the calendar with challenge matches once they’re done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
