It could of at the time he probably asked, which would have been before the deadline.

Let me guess….initials BB ?….team to ride for north of the border and not the Monarchs ?

My mistake, got it mixed with U -21’s….it’s an age thing, sorry.

But qualified as he wasn’t at the original cut off date and was injured so missed the first attempt at running the meeting.

So will Jenkins.

Well you can guarantee Scunthorpe will win track of the year again , it’s in the rule book now.

There have been showers , some heavy, since 2 pm, when I arrived in the town centre, about a mile from the track and looking like more to come .

Yes and have been to Redcar too. I also noted that on each occasion Redcars track was deep and well watered, never seen dust there so I believe you are quite wrong.

So the referee ( s) stopped the meeting on the say so of one team manager ?…..really ? and then the ref (s) told the track curator exactly how to prepare the track to Redcars advantage ? Next you will be saying man didn’t land on the moon.

Only time Redcar came close was under Taylor as he didn’t pay the bills, still had a crowd and a good track. Havelock may have seen the team as regular wooden spoonists but it was never close to closing as he ran it within its budget, unlike many these days it seems. Redcar have thrived since he left with new management and a more positive attitude since 2017.

and ignore dangerous tracks ? as that is all this boils down too……lack of proper track preparation .

Redcars ‘ cash cow ‘ is the fact that the club is run correctly and puts its track top of its priorities, hence a large crowd every week. Perhaps someone at Birmingham might like to take note.

They don’t race on the terraces though. Cant blame Redcar or any other team for lack of professionalism. As recent photos and video clips show, the track looks good, if your in front, terrible for everyone else, including the dust covered fans who can’t even see who finished where. I accept you supporting your team but it doesn’t make it a well run club.

I think lack of track preparation ( again !) killed any chance of Birmingham running next season.

So one rider rides better than you expect and therefore everything is hunky dorie ? The club would not have done the extensive track work if it was only Redcar complaining. The ref also agreed to the track work being done. The biggest complainers were the amateurish Birmingham promoters who have proved their ineptitude once again. If you can’t prepare a half decent , safe, race track , because of “ lack of time “, then don’t try and promote speedway !

Your just believing the Birmingham hype. If you were in the pits you would have heard the two home riders complaining .

How about supporting a team that produces a good race track……week, after week, after week ?

Just an example of track conditions previously at this track.

Exactly.

Doesn’t mean it’s a safe track.

Still problems with track prep ?

Just hope the water cart works and no one gets injured.

Bikes and van recovered ( van damaged ) but he lost everything else, riding kit, tools, etc , probably around £2000 plus worth.

But it’s the same riders bar 2?

My point exactly.
