Redcar v Glasgow

[Fortythirtyeight]

Firstly…..is it on ? 
 

4 pm and I need to set off at 5pm if its going ahead, any local weather update ?

[Coraldon]

Very grey skies at present, but no rain yet, we maybe lucky.

Cammy brown drawers giving Hodder a 4th ride… we laugh and joke on this forum but he really is clueless and has most likely just cost us any chance of getting back in this meeting.

Pitiful performance. Four race wins, six last places and three falls. Hagon has a fifth no scoring meeting in a row. #wtf

[Bagpuss]

Well done once again Jody Scott, developing so nicely.

Well done Redcar. The better side by some distance.

It was always going to be an uphill task with three guests, but when one of them contributes like Drew Kemp (again, I should add), then it’s game over. Add Sam Hagon’s input to the mix and you might as well hand Redcar the points before a wheel has even been turned.

Between tonight and the Plymouth meeting, we’ve limped over the play-off line and will do well to make the final. If we do and face Poole, it’ll be a cricket score.

No idea what the solution is.

Thought the rain might help. How this team will probably place 2nd is a head scratcher.

Yes, it seems, looking at the updates, Battye won his 1st. He was leading till the last bend in his 2nd ride, another 2nd in h8, so you would have thought he would have taken Hodder's ride in h12. Very strange decision by Brown.

[northyorksbear]

Very Poor management of the Tigers made it an easier match for the Bears.

Blindingly obvious that Battye needed to replace Hagon in heat 11, but Hodder comes in in heat 8 and therefore Hagon has to stay in 11 

Battye scores 5 from 2 finishes, plus a fall when miles ahead and doesn't get any extra rides 😲 should have been in 12

 

Thanks Cami from all the Bears fans 😊

The shock of the meeting was the announcement from Jamie Swales that he is stepping down as Promoter at the end of the season. 
Also an excellent 2 minute silence for the 2 Police officers tragically killed last week. Well done Redcar Speedway

Superb display from Klindt and Scott ( who just keeps getting better) supported by Edwards and Allan,  too little too late in terms of the play offs but building the side next season around Wright, Klindt and Scott is a must.

You've been unlucky, with Howarth pulling out. You had a trio of heat leaders who, imo, were a match for anyone. Now that you have had to rely on guests, it has put the rest of the team under the cosh, and quite frankly, they haven't been up to the job. Juhl Pedersen has been a disappointment; Hagon and Hausl have been a disaster. Hodder has improved a little. Yet you still Finished second! So its not all been a complete failure. As you say, ( you've limped over line), but on Edinburgh's showing at Scunthorpe tonight, that must give you hope of making the final. Thats of course if you go on and meet the Monarchs in the semi-final

Having just been on the Glasgow thread, it seems me saying Edinburgh could be your opponent, was wrong. 2nd and 3rd play each other, which means likely you'll have Scunthorpe, which I imagine will be a tougher draw.

That would depend on whether the "one over the eight rule" is still a go-er for 2027, as, currently Wright is on 8.90 and Klindt is 8.81. IF the one over the eight rule stays, you can't have both.
