Neila Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 How long will Ace pijper be out due to big off at team GB practice at Glasgow on Saturday, seems to has been caught by another rider after falling, was a post on his Facebook page yesterday, nothing appears to be broken, but seems to be very bashed up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortythirtyeight Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 3 hours ago, NC86 said: 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 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make of that what you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking into account Jenkins and his replacement Lamberts scoring this season Redcar have been riding a man down all season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC86 Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 Great match tonight against Berwick for entertainment but can kiss the play offs goodbye if wd are struggling to beat Berwick at home. superb effort from Jason Edwards tonight supported by Charles Wright and Jody Scott. However we cannot keep carrying Simon Lambert , he has to go , I’m sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Redcar are stuck with Lambert,you’re not allowed to make team changes at this stage of the season apparently.Early finish to the season this year,disastrous team planning.
