I knew the minute that MPT hit the deck and Elton John was probably singing I’m still Standing that Steve would clear Lawson of all blame

Also correct me if I am wrong the only person to post the team v Poole before the closure

He has only had 18 home meetings in them near couple of years( including a double header), 2 of them were opening meetings of a season so the crowd was “ healthy”, 4 of them were against local rivals Redcar, so the crowd was “healthy “ , 3 or 4 of them meetings he had the begging bowl out, so fans helped him out He allegedly had major sponsors this season and he has hardly had to pay out any points money over the last season and a half and his burger vans have been taking money aswell

Yes … Armadale Devils

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned or even exists anymore but don’t clubs have to pay a massive fine if they withdraw in the middle of a season?

Well they better announce it quick as they are at Plymouth tonight !!

Also like a football manager and player has to speak to the media after a match I think ( unless you have 2 on the trot ) a rider who wins a race should be made to take a victory lap so the fans can show their appreciation

That’s because after you have been people think there is nowt left

I don’t know what goes on in the pits but I couldn’t understand why they gave James Wright a tac sub ride in heat 11 therefore depriving Max Clegg of his R/R ride when they easily could of put Wright out in heat 14 as a T/S … Wouldn’t of made any difference unless Max refused a R/R !!!

No home meeting next Sunday… The hoppings ( big fair , (to those who don’t know) and burger van sales suddenly spring to mind ( only joking I think )

Doesn’t matter who but there was a fair bit head shaking

Caused a few chuckles in the Redcar pits last night

Heat 15 … 54.9

What do you mean …. Newcastle won tonight

Don’t know how the guest payment works but if say the Kyle Howarth’s, Ricky Wells, Richie and Stevie Worralls and Lewis Kerr’s etc are willing to guest for Newcastle and are expected to score double figures everytime is it not the same as giving big money to 1 rider who you would expect to score double figures everytime ?

I agree, it might just make the difference to the opposition hitting 59 or getting into the 60’s on there home track

I can see the headline in the chronicle now ( that’s if they still print about speedway) Diamonds sign son of 3 x British Champion

And 5 days is more than 4,3,2 and 1 day ….. What would others of said about Redcar speedway if they had said nothing, had riders travel from all over the country and let everyone in on Sunday and then called the meeting off 10 minutes before the start due to a lack of volunteers ( yes people who give up time with their own families to help out and don’t get paid) I can imagine this thread would of been red hot with stinging criticism come 5:30 on Sunday night

Steve Worrall used to be another member of the guest merry go round

Some people just like to moan. If it was over in an hour someone would say what was the point in stepping out the house. Jeff King has done brilliantly to push speedway on Nova radio and deserved some recognision. Young lad was 21 yesterday and is autistic, he'll remember that for the rest of his life and Lewi the Basketball player had his photo taken by his partner and it'll be on social media so we may get a few of the many fans who go and watch the Eagles come to see what HE likes. He paid in and said it was brilliant and he would tell all his mates ..With thoughts like yours , no wonder the dinosaur is extinct..

Next home meeting could be the benchmark for crowd figures ( unless we have a major new signing) as yes Leicester are a good side but they won’t bring as many fans as Redcar, Berwick, Glasgow, Edinburgh etc.. Richie Worrall been here umpteen times as has Kyle Howarth + the meeting is being streamed by BSN so cheaper to stay in the house We will see

Fat times was that when you were on the track ??

Not that it would of made any difference but why no T/S for Howarth ( saving money??)

Don’t know why they didn’t call it off after the heavy shower as most people around me ( and myself) said it was going to be abandoned. Unless it was to give the juniors a chance after waiting patiently I and others couldn’t understand why they wanted to run heat 15 as Redcar had the 3 points and it was only Edinburgh who should lose out if they conceded a 4-2 or a 5-1.. How would Redcar fans of felt if Lewis Kerr or Erik Riss been injured in the re run?

I was at the meeting and they played that song as a birthday request for a Redcar fan who had just became a Grandad
