agreed but that was then and this is now,i was more interested to the difference between the two clubs and the reason of one seemingly running well and one not so well

Very sad to hear of what could be the end of Newcastle Speedway but.. Last Friday i visited a fabulous speedway club just south of Newcastle where the club seemed to be very vibrant,a really good crowd,brilliant racing,good presentation and a very strong team.The stadium looked really good and importantly supporters seem to be spending cash inside the stadium! The club seem to be brimming with sponsors and no talk at all of any closing or looking for investors,things looked really good at Redcar,and despite the result all of us headed back to Scunny thinking what a great night we had at Redcar[Hats off to the promotion and supporters ] how is it that Redcar`s nearest and dearest are in the position they are when the mighty Bears seem to be going great on and off the track? interesting that being so close to each other yet total different situations

how?

An outstanding race meeting, some of the best racing I've seen Probably a fair result in the end, MPT was outstanding

isnt the idea of any speedway meeting to make money? where the hell did this anti making money thing come from? that how life works!

a very bold statement considering we dont know the points limit,we dont know who is in the league and we havnt seen other teams a strange one to me that im sure a recall similar statements last year on the predictions thread but it didnt seem to work out that way

Congratulation to Swindon,best team and deserved winners over the season pleased for Rosco too,he cops some unfair flack but is a proper speedway man and is developing a handy knack of building teams good to see a fine crowd also

this year even if you had started play offs in september there would still have been a alot of rain offs for example here in North Lincs,since 1 june 370mm of rain, with september rain fall over 100mm Scunthorpe for example had more mid summer rain offs this year than the 3 previos season added together,its just been a wet year this one Fishing has been shyte too!!

to be fair with the money involved in development these days far out weighs anything a promotor can do if 5000 folk turned up you still wont match the cash available from developers

yet folk have moan about lack of grading this season proves a point,let a track develop its self,seen way to many tractors this year round and about,last time we were at Owlerton was a classic example,lovely racing line developing,out come the tractor for a few laps and kills it dead!! and massive well done to the Bears yesterday for coming back and grabbing a point Good luck in the playoffs.will pop up and have a look!

fecking massive away win coming here

my point being that had the rain been `TORRENTIAL`` as described,it wouldnt have been as dry as it was in in that heat 8 video, which was i guess 15 to 20 mins after the described rain,sure it rained,but not as bad as described id say well done to the ref on the night for getting on with it,as what i saw,,not a single rider from either team complained,so well done them

when you watch that video it makes you wonder where the torrential thunder storm described in the match report was!! or maybe the clown writing it didnt know meeting was being filmed.....

the rain made no differnce to the meeting or the score, Shame John Campbell acted the clown and got the ref to inspect the track,what a complete fool he made himself look,even the visiting riders seemed shocked at his actions Josh Pickering is a joy to watch around Scunny,love that kids style

indeed, but on what grounds?,the Bates family own both clubs and are free to do what they wish to their teams as long as in withinn the rules of team building,i fail to see what the MC can actually do about it wether team changes are right or wrong,remains to be seen,but changes are the Bates family`s call,if that what they think is in the best interest of the two clubs they own[at considerable personnal cost] then that is their business,not the MC`s and for the record,If i was a Lions fan id be quite happy!!

what exactly has the management committe got to do with that? can the actually stop the move when no actual rules have been broken?

Never mind spreading it around the whole team,its just plain wrong they dont sell it to the other team mid meeting,that simply greedy of the Glasgow riders Paulco hope you had a safe drunken trip home!

An enjoyable meeting last night and Congratulations the the Tigers on a fine win,really good team performance by them from 1 to 7,got the job done Reading some excuses on here is amusing,Fuel,track etc,never heard such Rubbish, The tigers did what they had to do and Ayres and Lambert were poor,its a simple as that Id even go as far as saying had the track been grippy we would have got thumped by more than two points on another note,bit of a naughty move by cook in HEAT 15,least he could have done was go check on Auty,i dont think it was as dirty as it looked really,more a simple mistake coming out the corner,least he could have done was checked he was ok Any chance Glasow could leave Jensen at the EWR? Well done Glasgow

only one NL rider in truth,the other is there due to team averages,and one could argue RR scored a fair score with 8 points

Some excellent racing last night on a well prepped race track,best `` rider`` on the night was the Wedcar TM,played the limited cards he had to perfection Hope the Charles Wright is ok after what looked a nasty spill Luckiest guy driving home last night was Danny Ayres,how he avoided a huge one in heat 3 i`ll never no,that was a naughty naughty move by Kasper Andersen,to ride across some one full speed down a straight at full speed is shocking,luckily both avoided the deck Redcar is still a great place to watch speedway

fabulous avoidance of the other points

totally correct,but an ``on call`` member doesnt make calls like to take out a complete set of fixtures for an other team, more there to make quick decisons on averages etc etc,and with most issue like this sorted beforehand i guess the ``oncall `` member has very little to do

was it last year or the season before you got banned or threatened with a ban from the Comets?

i know you love a good theory but 1 Godfrey doesnt have the power to do as you say,the MC does,so jointly make a decison 2 looking back,you moan about fixture gaps,,,,,, this was the case in the previous season and Worky[2017],whos fault was that? RG also,? 3 The fridays you wanted to run,you also had alot of riders missing due to Danish champs,U21 and other fixture clashes,and tell me,when the Mighty Comets visited Glasgow last year,am i right in thinking you turned up with a NL rider as couldnt get a guest due to teams riding on a Friday? And for the record,personally i didnt agree with the decison to stop the Comets riding on a friday,it was wrong,and shouldnt have happened,but when you look at the shortage of riders regular Friday teams had, and yourselves on the chosen fridays,i can see why it was made Back to this evenings fixture,my 10 year old asked why Scunny are sh yte away from home,i cant say i replied,so im taking him to see for himself................and looking forward to the trip[excatly what speedway is about]

is there a thread anywhere on the Champioship section on this forum where you dont act the twit?
