You cant blame the track , these riders Allen, Edwards and Mulford are just as inconsistent away, its a joke that Bears had to lose a rider as we had two over 8 points, now we have a rider on 9 next rider is on 6 point average , that's been the issue, we wont qualify for the PO's but a decent performance last night against Plymouth, particularly Jody Scott.

I didn’t blame it, it’s just a factor. You could see certain senior riders speaking with the track men after heat 1 and 2 , there not the greatest track men ( four of them, and one has been around northern tracks for years ) but they do what they can and I think Redcar would be buggered without them.

Strange that the ‘Top Man’ never goes out on the tractor .

I agree, they are inconsistent, that’s why I wrote it 😄

Didn't the main track man walk away a couple of years ago and since then the track has been iffy to say the least

If the "Top Man" you refer to is Graham Trollope, then "I've heard" (as many on this Forum say) that he is only there in an "advisory capacity". Make of that what you will.

Same in every league ,not many riders in uk speedway consistent every week  on different tracks, most inconsistent sport I have ever followed,especially when home tracks are changed so much not even home riders are comfortable without risking their pills,why risk the biscuit on peanuts

Jonathan Swales ( brother of the promoter ) , fell out with the owners ( the brothers ) , like a lot of people have.

Current ‘track man’ is an inexperienced volunteer, who only falls outwith them occasionally. He has 2 ‘assistants’ and a ‘mentor’ , but he’s better than nothing!
