Good to hear that there were no serious injuries. 
 

“STATEMENT – INCIDENT DURING HEAT 14

During Heat 14 of last night’s semi-final fixture against Glasgow, an incident occurred in which a bike cleared the safety fence and struck the secondary barrier beyond it.

As a result, three supporters required attention from the on-site medical team, with two taken to James Cook University Hospital for precautionary checks. We are pleased to confirm that both were discharged later that evening, and all three supporters are now safely at home with no serious injuries.

Redcar Speedway would like to extend our sincere thanks to the attending medical personnel from Medics UK and our dedicated volunteer staff for their prompt and professional response to the situation”

SCB confirm Redcar progress to final 

First leg likely to be on Saturday

 

[NeilWatson]

FOLLOWING the abandonment of the Redcar v Glasgow BSN Series semi-final 2nd leg on Sunday October 12 prior to Heat 15, with the scores all level on aggregate but being unable to decide a winner of the tie on track, the Speedway Control Bureau have made the following statement.


There is no alternative with the scores level on aggregate at the time of the BSN Series semi-final being abandoned, and the result of the tie will have to be decided by SCB Regulation 012.1.26 Abandonment, which states:

"The team who scored the most heat advantages (5-0, 5-1, 4-2, 3-2, 3-0 in no particular order) over the two legs will be awarded the aggregate win."

Over the two legs the heat advantages were as follows -

• Redcar scored 8 x 4-2s (4 in the 1st leg, and four in the 2nd leg)
• Glasgow scored 1 x 5-1 and 6 x 4-2s (a 5-1 and 3 x 4-2s in the 1st leg, and 3 x 4-2s in the 2nd leg)

Therefore over the two legs, Redcar had one extra heat advantage and will qualify for the 2025 BSN Series Final.

The SCB wishes all the people involved in the incident at Redcar during Heat 14 a speedy recovery.

Fair is fair. Frustrating, but the rulebook is in place to accommodate these scenarios.

The award was made in the boardroom, but the tie was lost on the track.

Another trophy gone.

[WookieboyDon]

Fantastic news that there were no serious injuries. 

[ruckerroo]

The real winners are the injured but now ok fans and the medics and volunteers.

Very difficult scenario and well done to both sides.

[PersonalResponsibility]

Great news that nobody is seriously injured. I hope they're all back at a track very soon.

Equally good news for BSN subscribers, feels like it's ages since Redcar v Poole has been on.

It all comes down to the league final now for the Tigers. It was a diddy cup anyway. 
 

praying for rain offs this week.

Could I ask if Jake Allen was ok after his fall? He seems to have been forgotten in all of this.

Crazy isn't it that all these repeat fixtures happen at the end of the season, BSN should have been done and dusted at the end of spring, the KO Cup mid Summer and Pay Offs now.

I did notice the other night, Ace Pijper crashed into the fence on the 4th bend, is there a reason why there is no air fence at that part of the track 

Ace was pushed into the fence by Tobias Thompson who was excluded.

I’m surprised it’s a total of heat advantages that count and not higher heat advantages first. Glasgow had one 5-1 over 19 races, and for me they should have qualified on that race alone. The fact Redcar had more 4-2 wins seems a strange yardstick to go by. Rules are Rules though and maybe need tweaking. Good for us at Redcar but feel Glasgow were hard done by this. 

[Trackrat]

Fixed for Poole to win, getting boring.

Hopefully the Championship gets its act together next year if it still exists as a second division, the fixtures have been a shambles for more than one season now. 

Redcar going through reminds me of England winning the cricket World Cup in 2019 by virtue of more boundaries.

There was no easy way to decide this apart from a replay and there isn't time for that now . 

But they way they have decided it is probably fair enough , good luck to Redcar in the final and I'm glad everyone injured are now back home .

[Noelinho]

Good luck to Redcar in the final, I hope they win.

No complaints about the rules, I personally think it's a very sensible one. I really can't throw my toys out the pram at it.
