Ridiculous that Riss and Mulford are missing this match,to ride in Germany on Monday!!I stopped going to speedway last year after 50 years,came back this year,tried to give it another shot, what’s the point? No meetings for 2/3 weeks, then when there is half the team missing.The sport is a joke.

So GP points are at stake and the public are not allowed to attend. Pathetic

I sometimes wonder if Cami actually watches the racing with some of his after match soundbites. Poole were just the better side is his latest , personally out with Bomber Poole were the far better side by a distance. Hopefully Dan will be back soon, if last nights performance is an indication on how things are going then we are in trouble. Just say it how it is we were beaten by a superior team on the night it’s that simple.

Redcar

Freddie’s scored his average 1+1 ,Max scored double his 2 average so think our reserves scored pretty well

That was a gaters track was it Paul ? Why were the Glasgow riders using the inside line while Poole used the dirt on the outside line ? You ain't going to pass if your not chasing the dirt. Poole were the better team from the off and raced Ashfield like it was their home track ,which is no surprise. But Glasgow had an off night, we take it on the chin and admit to having a poor night without looking for excuses.

I actually thought the size of the crowd was a bit disappointing considering who the opposition were .Where I stand on the back straight it was less crowded than usual . Anyway we set up a gaters track for a meeting against Poole probably wasn't the best idea , though they were the better team on the night . Bomber apart we weren't at our best Disappointing after our away heroics , but thats speedway , we move on . Poole look to be the team to beat again this season

Edinburgh trying to squeeze all their meetings in before then 😉

Till October....

That is an extremely poor decision from someone and in my opinion the FIM and WBD should ensure that qualifying/sprint is always available for ticket holders( limited number ok) to have entrance to all the stadiums- it should be part of the contract. It would be fair enough for fans having to leave at the completion of the Sprint race- around 3.15pm to give them time to reset for the GP. ” Made for TV “ springs to mind !!!!

Never see him on a Plymouth thread, spends all his time on the Poole ones

I don't understand this part "Erik informed us this morning that due to his Landshut meeting being called off he was now required at GP qualifying practise" Can anyone explain? It sounds as if his Polish match has priority over GP qualifying practice, but his British match doesn't? I'm guessing originally Riss could make it to the Landshut match, but GP qualifying must be harder to get to? Has this ever happened before, a rider due to ride in Britain on a Saturday, has to miss the match because a Polish League meeting the following day was postponed?

His average changes to 20.13 next week. Seems like he has been scoring 20 points most weeks.

Feel sorry for the busload of Bears fans who travelled down but probably best outcome for the team in terms of result. Poor communication from Plymouth promotion though, no mention that the meeting was in doubt at any stage, even 30 mins before the start when I decided to purchase the stream.

All ifs buts and maybes , yes you turned us over deservedly but there is a long way to go. As we all know a lot can happen for and against you in this sport. Just hope we can get Dan back sooner rather than later guaranteed double figures every week and things may have been different last night with Dan. Ashton I doubt we will see again this season it really depends on what rabbit we can pull out the Tarrasenko hat. Enjoy your deserved win last night but don’t get too far ahead of yourself a long long way to go. And who cares on the Boughen, Barker scenario in it’s like me going on about Edwards scoring more than Cook who cares.

I think Redcar are the favourites, Glasgow and Poole are challengers but not favourites.

We are definitely not clear favourites. There is no clear favourite this year - it looks quite even overall. We need to stop with the whole Glasgow/Poole will/should win everything nonsense. It's much more competitive than that.

Possible but what was noticeable was a lack off speed some of our top 5 had or the need to adapt to the track after there first rides. On the other hand our opponents adapted to the track far better and considerably quicker than we did outwith Bomber. Poole fully deserved the win and looked more like the home team because they adapted to the conditions quicker that’s got to be a worry.

Zach is normally captain

Kerr was much better which definitely helped and Tobias was terrific, a good all round team performance. I would keep the team riding positions as they were last night, Rowe at 5 and Kerr at 4 seemed to work.

That is always a difficult measurement... As, what we have today, week in week out, is pretty much down to the "hard core" who, basically, will turn up regularly to watch "anything" served up.. A section of the crowds these days being "die hard club fans", and the other being "generic speedway fans".. Both sections just want to watch "some speedway" with one section judging their enjoyment of the night due to the result, and the other, judging their night on the racing.. The more difficut to quantify measurement is his how many are not there from the numbers of say 20 years ago?...

Just think what the Pirates will do when all 1-7 are firing together!!

I can't think of much, if anything, that has improved since WBD took over. 'Made for TV' sums it up well.

What! Absolutely the correct decision 🙃 Why F1 aren't taking a lead out of Speedway's book I don't know, running their events behind closed doors!

Captain Lawson, the only 100% winning Captain in speedway.

Dont be silly Geoff !! Dont you know that the Polish authorities rule the entire speedway world ??? Thought you would have worked that one out by now !!

Havvy looking well compared to recent years. Good to see.

Sounds to me like you only want about four riders in the GP. After all Kubera, Vaculik, Thomsen and Lebedevs have hardly disgraced themselves.

I think I'm about done with GB speedway now. It just gets more farcical season after season.

What's lewy got to say about this. The clown always has plenty to say about other clubs

Explanation from Team Manager Gavin Parr on Redcar's Facebook page: We tried everything and everybody today to get a guest after Erik informed us this morning that due to his Landshut meeting being called off he was now required at GP qualifying practise along with Jake. No flights from anywhere on Sunday morning could get him to the event on time unfortunately so we have been left in a very difficult position. Personally I can only apologise and promise you all we will still do everything possible to come away with the league points.

Was considering purchasing the stream but given the cost and the fact the Bears have a much weakened team I’m not sure I will now. Unfortunate for the Bears to lose Riss at such a late stage and not be able to get a guest. If the Bears can keep it close for the aggregate point that will be a decent effort.

it was just a blip

Meeting in Germany starts at 1pm GMT so should be done by 3pm. I'm sure arrangements could be made to get to Leicester by 7.30pm.

First, hope that Worrall is OK after a very nasty crash. From the gate it didnt look like Kildemand bothered to turn and just kept going staright. I thought he'd be excluded but the ref obviously saw different with all four. The crashes and the new interval race for the kids meant a drawn out meeting by EWR standards, but a decent night's racing. Good to see Lambo scoring well, you can see what it means to him, hope it continues. Any news on Worrall?

I hope he does return he has too much talent to give up.

How long will Boughen be “injured”.

That wasn’t the best racing I’ve ever seen but a bloody good meeting for entertainment and talking points

Solid performance from Poole's 1 to 6 won them the meeting, hard to beat a team with everyone chipping in like that. Flint and Howarth looked under par from what we have seen so far this season for the Tigers, that was the difference. Expected the Tigers to shade a tight contest especially with having Barker in for Ashton.

Hodder is looking like a shrewd signing for the Tigers.

Could have been so much worse for Glasgow as Barker scored 7+2 more than Boughen would have.

The ref was a Polish Michael Oliver who wanted to make the meeting all about himself tonight.

Magic coming out for the re-run. Imagine the footballers. 😂

You were saying

Sensational result!!!

Do the comets " commitments" not count!

It will be almost July and we will just be starting the league season, bascially becoming a 2 month league season. Needs a big rethink in the winter. Fraser Bowes will be missing the Comets next 2 fixtures too because of Polish commitments

You'd imagine others were asked first. Not the strongest at Lynn but has ridden well and given maximum effort in the past as a guest so hopefully he helps the team to victory. Really excited to see what Luke can do.

I don't think riding in SGP/SGP2 qualifiers is taking the P out of British speedway. It's up to British speedway to schedule its fixtures better.

As it always has been...
