It all boils down to the kit I think at the end of the day, the sooner it's slowed down and standardised the better imo.

On holiday in Wisbech? Good grief.

Just one of those night where things went wrong, no ones fault. Rider safety always takes precedence, which would also include the ref not being able to see because of the sun. The electrical fault was quickly solved and if it had happened on any other night would have caused only a short delay. I took a newbie and she fully enjoyed it, and she understood that it is a rare event for all those things to happen. I assume both teams agreed to run ht 10 to get a result. Redcar has an agreement with the Council to go over the curfew on the odd occasion. The racing we saw was good, and the track good. I hope the injured lads aren't too badly hurt.

Bit of a hollow victory after seeing the crash Ulrich has had , best wishes to Ulrich he will be difficult to replace , hope his injury is not as bad as it appears and he is back with us soon.

The worst rider to come over from Australia , according to the Monarchs , guests for the Tigers against the Monarchs tomorrow . So step forward Jye Etheridge , just a wee reminder to stick it up them , let's finish the job Tigers , this is our year

Blobby usually starts the derby weekend pretty vocal. As the weekend unfolds it’s like a death in the family and goes into mourning , really miss his over confidence.

Edit: I cleaned his window haha!

Doh. Of course, you are right. Troy got his British passport last year and now has dual Nationality. I completely forgot about that. I guess it's definitely not Troy then

We are very lucky at Redcar to have an excellent promotion and that’s why it’s a shame Jitendra is standing down at the end of the season.

I think Jimmy Squibb also rode for Ipswich in the 60's. I didn't miss any of the New Cross home meetings in 1963 and although some visiting riders did get the better of him, Jimmy was generally in a class of his own around the "frying pan".

There are many who feel the same I think, I bought a season pass two years ago for the first time ever, and re-newed at the start of last season. I then took the option of not taking a refund and let the season ticket roll over to this season. I am very un-decided at the minute about next year.

I bought the season pass as early as xmas 2019, expecting there to be a full season in 2020. I thought, as I go to all the home meetings I'd save a few quid and help the club out at the same time. Very disappointed in what I've seen so far. A couple of the team aren't living up to what is expected. The only shining light has been Leon Flint and of course the NL side, Greg Blair in particular. Too much gate and go to make it entertaining. I shall think long and hard before purchasing a season pass for 2022 based on what I've seen this year. I'll just pick and choose meetings I attend.

The referee was Jim McGregor. Phil Griffin called off around lunchtime due to awaiting family covid test result.

Not that Pijper will be a miss at a track like Eastbourne but it's very coincidental he's 'Injured' the same night his lad is in the World 250cc final in Germany I'm sure he wasn't too injured to travel to that

Back injury for Ully but has full movement thankfully.

Blobby's on suicide watch

Any notes on how the crowd numbers were? Understrength Mildenhall side scared the leaders who still look to have a few passengers reliant on others scoring big. No way should Ryan Mac get beat my Muff twice anywhere but especially at home. Phillips did a decent job as a guest but you would fancy Jenkins to get more than the 7 RR brought for him. Would think the Bandits got away with it tonight.

Wish I hadn't

Bit harsh on Summers, granted he hasn't started this season great but he normally rides our place pretty well. If the opportunity ever arose for us to sign him i'd snap him up straight away.

If Ben Cook’s injuries had of been life threatening the ambulance that was already at the track would of taken him straight to hospital

I think Dan Thompson would do a job for you at reserve. Once he got fully dialled into the track. He’s a great prospect just a thought.

The Theatre Royal in Norwich has the 85 year old Engelbert Humperdink doing a one and a half hour show for £62.50 . and part of the act will be mimed or perhaps even all . That's what you call extortionate. Some of the seats are even dearer in other theatres to see him. Then there will be another £10 for a programme

Surely you'll hire a plane or helicopter to get Jorgensen up from Eastbourne?

I remember the Booey Bikes, I went to a "test" match at Peterborough I think... they kept breaking down if my memory serves me right

He also appeared for two other current tracks, King's Lynn and Poole. His name was in the programme for Ellesmere Port at Barrow in 1973, but he didn't ride and the Gunners used rider replacement for him.

Did you film yourself doing it.

Who would you have got in? Baring in mind both Morris and Bowtell have ridden for Newcastle, and Morris hit form at Birmingham on Wednesday.

A marvelous gesture from The Bears promotion, one of the best (if not the best) promotions in speedway. I'll be happy to pay full price for the next meeting, what happened on Friday was out of the promotions control. I agree with the sentiment of Yearbyred, Jitendra standing down will be a loss to The Bears and speedway, although I'm sure the remaining promotors will keep to the high standard Ben has set.

Good on you Norbold-what is the oldest programme (your first meeting) and what season do you have the most programmes from? Nothing the matter with anoraks either.

I was thinking the same also as it would give Cook a rare outing in ht8 & should guarantee a home 5 - 1. Will your team manager be as astute as you?

Statement from Bears Promotion after the abandonment of last night's derby clash against Newcastle https://buff.ly/3BLtoBp

In order to maintain cordial relationships between the UK and Finland, here is the 2021 rule and you can make want you want out of it. Wild Card Rider: A Rider nominated by his FMN and approved by the SGP Commission to participate in an individual round of the SGP series. 3.5 Wild Card Rider In each SGP Meeting, 1 Wild Card Rider will be nominated to take part. In the event of a double SGP on consecutive days at the same venue, one Wild Card Rider will be used for both SGP rounds. All FMNs may propose riders. Proposals must be made in writing to the FIM not later than 1 month prior to the meeting. The SGP Commission will make the final approval and nominations.

And for keeping us entertained priming gates 2&4 at the interval when there was little else memorable on track. After Eastbourne seems we will be posting a sentry at the start line in away meetings.

Former Speedway rider and multi Hot Rod World Champion, Barry Lee, once described Wisbech as the "ar5e end of the universe" and that was before the stadium was knocked down and a supermarket built on the site.

Ulrich has suffered a broken wrist and lower back injury.

Massive credit to the track staff last night. Kept the dust to an absolute minimum. Still a bogging shape of track that encourages people to lock up at corners right enough (heat 1 being a prime example). Best wishes to Ulrich. Point dropped for the Tigers

Gutter talk on way but its been a while since i took a " newbie" think she enjoyed it

Shambles of a meeting!! Problems with the electrics, then ref couldn’t see because of the sun!! Crashes and delays due to waiting for ambulance (obvs not Redcar’s fault). People walking out while awaiting for heat 10 which was ran after the curfew as they had obviously had enough, or was sick of hearing Roy talk rubbish in cheering on his new favourite team! Delay after delay and any new fans unfortunately will not return.

Jim Mcgregor left the box to go to the pits whilst Ulrich was in the ambulance and shortly after the meeting was cancelled due to lack off medical cover.

11.57 in 1986. an amazing 22 full maximums he averaged over the 11 point mark for four years a true GREAT.

I watched nearly all of his home meetings that year but only got to see him at Swindon and Reading and individual events .He certainly made me change my opinion of him he was awesome from memory 1984 onwards only a few names beat him Tommy, Erik, Shawn, Sam, Carl Blackbird, Paul Thorp, Jeremy Doncaster.

It was noticed just seemed less important think Mcgregor decided enough was enough and moved the tractor on , it was only two gates being graded and guess what two gate positions Edinburgh were out on next. Happens everywhere at some point and when you think about it you try everything to regain home advantage.

In the Czech Republic the Pardubice club has Ales Dryml, Vaclav Milik & Jiri Jirout & their sons Ales jnr & Lukas Dryml, Vaclav Milik jnr & Mario Jirout In Prague Jiri Stancl, Petr Ondrasik, Antonin Svab, & Antonin Kasper with their sons George Stancl, Pavel Ondrasik, Toni Svab & Toni Kasper

Tbf, he was competing against the likes of Briggs and Olsen, who were pretty decent around hyde rd, and PC who shared the home track advantage. Maybe also Ivan had such focus on the world title, that he was not at his peak in the weeks after the "big one"

Just one of those nights. Glad it could get through to 10 heats, but even that was a struggle. Hope the injured lads are ok.

Just sat here and realised Tai Woffinden only in Poland and is free to do the British league if only lol mind you he could do with more track time his gating is shocking

How is it nonsense? They want people at the track. If it's a fair way to travel then the stream is a good option. The nearer you are the more likely you are to go to the track. It's common sense on Edinburgh's part IMO.

If it bloody rains it had better not but I have invested n a new brolly just hope we get the meeting on all riders and I mean all riders have a safe meeting Now the fans get behind rob and the lads and give them the support they all deserve. No back bitting and bitchin just good old fashioned support. And a win for the lads Terraces full as can now pay on the gate again

That statement is not true Dick,it’s £11 for an e-ticket
