What's lewy got to say about this. The clown always has plenty to say about other clubs 

Heavy shower at 6.15 was enough to make the track very wet,I think it would have gone ahead otherwise. If you come to Plymouth please let me know would like to meet you,also who do you support because If i come to your track I will make myself known to you. 🤡

Good way to get money in! Suppose riders will be paid. Feel for the bears fans who travelled 🤯

Yes I feel for the fans it's not nice but unfortunately does happen as the Plymouth fans found out last year when they travelled to Redcar only for it to be called off just before start time.

I don't understand this part

"Erik informed us this morning that due to his Landshut meeting being called off he was now required at GP qualifying practise"

Can anyone explain? It sounds as if his Polish match has priority over GP qualifying practice, but his British match doesn't?

I'm guessing originally Riss could make it to the Landshut match, but GP qualifying must be harder to get to?

Has this ever happened before, a rider due to ride in Britain on a Saturday, has to miss the match because a Polish League meeting the following day was postponed?

Abensberg isn't so far away from Landshut so surely with no flights was he ever going to be riding Saturday ? . Don't know the relative Landshut meeting and GP Qualifier practice start times which may have had an impact ?.

Seems it was raining all day. A lot of redcar fans can feel rightly peeved waiting round all day to be going home meetingless... worky will be fine once they get Ludvig Lindgren in

It seems if his Polish fixture at Opole had been on he would have ridden at Plymouth on Saturday, Opole on Sunday and then Abensberg on Monday.

With Opole being called off and then being required to travel to Abensberg for practice (a day earlier on Sunday) it has been mentioned he cannot get an early enough flight for the practice signing on which I believe is 12-12:30pm. There are still some flights bookable from London that arrive in Munich before midday but they may be cutting it a bit fine so I guess the decision was based on that.

Explanation from Team Manager Gavin Parr on Redcar's Facebook page:

We tried everything and everybody today to get a guest after Erik informed us this morning that due to his Landshut meeting being called off he was now required at GP qualifying practise along with Jake.
No flights from anywhere on Sunday morning could get him to the event on time unfortunately so we have been left in a very difficult position.
Personally I can only apologise and promise you all we will still do everything possible to come away with the league points.

Or to paraphrase...

It is all Mickey Mouse Bollox in the UK, but we still do our very best to pretend it means something...

When are they going to at least try to make what they present have some credibility?

Before it is too late ..

Quite simple. Erik was taking the piss

Ridiculous that Riss and Mulford are missing this match,to ride in Germany on Monday!!I stopped going to speedway last year after 50 years,came back this year,tried to give it another shot, what’s the point? No meetings for 2/3 weeks, then when there is half the team missing.The sport is a joke.

Workington could do with some extra support as crowd levels have been really poor this season,hopefully this improves for you.

Wasn't many at Plymouth last year either when the comets were down 🤪  will see how many more fans you have when I'm back down in August 😄

So far our crowd levels have been much improved on last season,hopefully this continues but as you well know speedway fans are a very fickle bunch.

How unfair, the guy does his best with the cards he is dealt,  he was merely the bringer of bad news on this occasion.  How about you give up all of your spare time to see if you can do a better job and see if you can handle the unwarranted criticism
