Teesside ‘ FIP Consulting ‘ Tigers 12 Redcar ‘Erimus Insurance’ Cubs 24. Tigers E.Davison 0 ( from one ride, withdrawn injured ) L.Richardson 3, C.Rushen 9 ( max ) D.McTeer 0. Cubs. K.Lyden 9 ( max ) K.Gordon 6+3 ( paid max ) O.Bovingdon 6, S.Norman 3+3.

Poor entertainment as far as a competitive meeting goes, just the one great ride from Joe Thompson worthy of note. Bears not competitive once they hit the numerous bumps on bends one and two. Easy win for the Lions who deserved the big pay night. Sorry to see the state of the track ( no curb visible on the back straight anymore ) and the ‘ centre green ‘ ( abandoned overgrown wasteland ) . Leicester a cert for the play offs on home form alone.

how many decades ago was that !

but not every club pays those or supplies vans, and Newcastle certainly didn’t use too .

Good crowd, close racing but very little overtaking as the track is one line at the moment with only Nicholls making the outside pass work, hence the ‘ win a race then run lasts scorers. The track may mature as the season goes on and the outside might work more consistently with a bit more moisture in it. Thought the ref should have got a grip of the starts as there was constant movement from both sides in just about every race. Nicholls duped Wright into breaking the tapes and Kerr got away with one after already being penalised, otherwise an enjoyable meeting at a new (?) venue.

Guests are rarely cheaper as they know you need them.

and if the ‘ fastest ‘ rider makes a big mistake on the last bends and doesn’t therefore win ?

Like a fork leg that is used in other forms of motorcycle racing perhaps !

Redcar ‘ Erimus Insurance ‘ Cubs 23 Teesside ‘ FIP Consulting ‘ Tigers 13. Cubs Alex Goldsbrough 6 , Katie Gordon 6+2, Ollie Bovingdon 6+2, Seth Norman 5. Tigers Edward Davison 6, Laylan Richardson 0, Cooper Rushen 5, Dan McTeer 2+1.

You think they will still be around in 3 years time ?

Dont say that to Redcar fans as Jason Edwards is fast becoming the star of the show, leading opposition numbers 1’s for fun !

No, they managed that all by them selves.

Well he was fighting fit.

Lakeside were never supposed to have Fridays as their official race night, it was supposed to be Saturday, but Cook had the management over when he released his fixtures. Hence the back lash.

Isn’t that what the NDL is supposed to be about ? To give riders a chance to develop ? You shouldn’t expect higher standards in the lower league.

The grandstand capacity used to be 1;000 so , if it was half full, and it didn’t look that full on the photographs, was there nearly 1,000 spread out elsewhere?

You’ve never been to Scunthorpe on a weekend then.

Judging by previous comments on here regarding numbers they have been way out, so you can almost guarantee it won’t be accurate. Good crowd reported at the Ben Fund but the photos don’t bare that out, but then what is a ‘ good crowd ‘ ? If your talking Newcastle it could be over 250, if your talking Ipswich it could be over 1,000, Birmingham need over that ! it all depends on the club and the break even figure.

Your fast becoming an embarrassment to Redcar with your silly posts. Leicester was built by the same man who built Redcar, although it has been tinkered with a number of times. A lot of tracks have there own racing line, some because they are around football or rugby pitches, some because of the angle of the bends, no two tracks are the same. Does that mean they are all ‘ cheating ‘ ? No it doesn’t ! As a famous world champion said “ They are all there to be ridden “.

Why don’t you give it a rest ? Your embarrassing Redcar fans with your futile posts, it’s done, move on and grow up.

Yep, it appears we have someone with ‘ issues ‘ trying to get attention.

When the co- ordinator decides too but I think there will be something official shortly as the first fixtures are at the end of this month.

No need to respond as nobody’s arguing. A few first meeting minor issues otherwise a typical Redcar race night as the new promotion team carry on the good work of the last few years. Produce a good product, run it properly with enthusiastic staff, keep your sponsors happy and the crowd will come , hopefully !

Yes, they will.

No there wasn’t ! there was a track grade, nothing more.
