I remember when I first went to speedway in the late 70s at Cleveland park ,People used to say what a friendly bunch speedway fans were .
How things have changed !
I find it absolutely appalling that so called fans question 2 riders who risk their lives riding in a sport that has its fair share of fatalities and both had their careers and livlihoods cut short through injuries on the track.
Since the return of speedway to redcar i go to as many meetings home and away as possible as i am proud to support the team riders and club but no longer stop after the meetings as I used to in the Cleveland park days.They are many good people at Redcar but I do not wish to be associated with a certain element of the fan base at Redcar which i ultimately believe will be the down fall of this club as they try to drive yet another promoter out .
I understand the frustration of some fans with the penny pinching and suppose Mr Havelock arriving every week by his yacht he moors on the Tees
or His Private Jet with all this money he's Making off the fans is rubbing our noses in it .
How ironic that the fans who wanted Glyn Taylor out and Brian Havelock in have now turned on him.
I have no doubt that who ever runs Redcar Speedway will never please a certain section of the crowd.
