Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting FB WRIGHT PLACE WRIGHT TIME 12th rider confirmed for the Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting is experienced campaigner James Wright. Wright who returned to the sport last year has been riding for the Scorpions of Scunthorpe this season and has had many a battle with Robbo over the years “I’ve known James a long time and have had many tussles with him in the past, and he is another British rider who has given a lot to the sport over the years and I was surprised when he got back on a bike last year, but he can still do it, and his scores this year show he can still provide some good points for his team. Look forward to him popping out the starts and providing a real challenge to the rest of the line-up”. Said Robbo

Erik Riss FB 1 day Been back on the bike twice in the last 7days to see how the leg feels. The foot felt fine on the bike and didn’t cause too many issues. Although, I had major pain in my knee when I was on the bike so I flew back to Germany to get an MRI on the knee and it turns out I have torn my ACL in the crash where I broke my fibula. I am now in the process of getting that fixed as well.

TAKING ON THE BEARS AGAIN NEWS Wednesday 14th September 2022, 9:43pm by Mike Hunter The Championship Playoffs have been delayed a week like all sports events, but coming up this Friday and Saturday will be the quarter final tie between the WTF Monarchs and Redcar Bears. Redcar won the KO Cup semi-final between the teams so it's obvious the Monarchs need to step things up. That will be their aim on Friday as they look to build a substantially better lead that they managed in the cup tie (they could only manage a 4 point margin). The initial expectation was that Erik Riss would be fit to return from injury but unfortunately in the end he still has problems with his injury. His guest replacement on Friday will be Aaron Summers. A good turnout of away supporters can be expected in both legs and it has the makings of a memorable couple of meetings. Jason Edwards could miss the tie with a shoulder injury, in which case rider replacement applies. Otherwise it will be two full strength sides lining up. Monarchs team manager on Friday will be Alex Harkess who says "The job on Friday is for everyone to produce their best form, and if they do that I think we will be perfectly OK. I can't guarantee it will happen! "We certainly have an incentive because if we are knocked out this weekend, then tonight could be the last Monarchs' match at Armadale, a stadium which has meant so much to all of us over the years. We've had so many great nights here and landed a great deal of silverware. We definitely want to keep it going as long as we can!" The British Speedway Network will make their fourth visit of the season as they are streaming all the Championship Playoff matches. Streaming Details on www.edinburghmonarchs.co.uk or via the BSN section of the SGB website. FRIDAY'S MATCH: Friday 16th September: Edinburgh Monarchs v Redcar Bears (Championship Playoff first leg), Armadale, 7:30pm WTF MONARCHS: Sam Masters (captain), Lasse Fredriksen, Kye Thomson, Paco Castagna, Josh Pickering, James Sarjeant, Jacob Hook. AGILIA BEARS: Aaron Summers (guest), Jason Edwards, Charles Wright, Jordan Jenkins, Lewis Kerr (captain) Kyle Newman, Kasper Andersen. Saturday 17th September: Redcar Bears v Edinburgh Monarchs (Championship Playoff second leg), Ecco Arena, 5pm

Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting FB ROYNON SIGNS UP Adam Roynon is the latest rider to agree to join us for the Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting at Redcar on 1st October Roynon who started the season with the Bears moved over the Scunthorpe during the season, and asked Stuart when they met at the Birmingham v Coventry challenge a few weeks back how plans were going and Robbo was only too happy to ask him if he wanted a skid “Was good to bump into Royno at the challenge match the other week when I was on the spanners for Luke Crang and we got talking about the meeting and at that point I thought yeah let’s get him in. With the end of season playoffs and injuries occurring it it was great to hear someone willing to ride and we go back a fair way with our Coventry days so it is great to have him involved” said Robbo

Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting FB RESERVES BOTH BACK FOR ROBBO Great news that both Archie Freeman and Kyran Lyden have both confirmed their attendance in the reserves berth for the Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting at Redcar 1st October

Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting FB GAARD OF HONOUR FOR ROBBO 8th rider confirmed for the Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting is a rider who has been involved from day 1 and is coming back from injury ULRICH OSTERGAARD It’s fair to say 2022 hasn’t gone as planned for the likeable Dane, but he still has the opportunity for plenty of meetings towards the end of the season and will again line up for Robbo “I’ve been waiting and hoping that Ulrich would be available and was delighted when it was confirmed he would take part. Has been generous in accepting the booking 3 times now…..just hope we can get it finished :-)” said Robbo

Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting FB· KASPER LOOKING FOR HOME ADVANTAGE Next rider to be announced for the Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting is home favourite KASPER ANDERSEN. Kasper will be flying the flag for the home supporters and will be sure of having a noisy following. Robbo was keen to have some home representation and was pleased when Kasper agreed to sign up Robbo said “when planning my meeting the key thing was to always try and give people a some differences with the line-up but one key thing is to give the home fans someone to support, and although we haven’t finished the line-up yet, Kasper was only too pleased to get another meeting in his diary. I’m still hoping to get some more Redcar representation, but it’s not easy getting riders at this time of year and a few already have plans. Fingers crossed we can get Kasper another friendly face in the pits”.

Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting FB· COOKING UP A STORM Joining the line-up for the Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting is Glasgow Number 1 and Ex GP Star CRAIG COOK Cookie was originally in the line up for April but was caught out with Covid, and was replaced by Drew Kemp, but Craig has kindly agreed to join us on 1st October. Robbo was excited to hear that Craig could rejoin the evening “I’ve seen Cookie have a couple of bad knocks this season but am glad he will be with us going into a really important end of season with the Tigers and I’m sure he will be happy to get a few more laps under his belt. He is a top performer on his day and will be one of the stars of the night I’m sure.”

Steve ChantlerEastbourne Eagles Group Steve Chantler ·FB Sorry all. We hoped to get this out last night. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts it is extremely unlikely to happen and we have at this stage, thrown in the towel for 2023. The last hurdle really was the BSPL explaining that they would need our commitment by the end of August, to run next season. We could have asked for more time but it seems, that would have just been delaying the inevitable. The costs of entering the Championship were simple too much to raise the amount required and the stadium owners were not keen in us running at National League level. We are devoted fans of the club and although this is most likely over for 2023, we do not want to give up. All the time there is a track at Arlington Stadium, we will want to see speedway there and will be happy to help financially or otherwise, with anyone that wishes to take up the mantel. We are truly sorry for any hopes that we raised and have now, dropped.

Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting FB LETS KEEP THE SUMMER-S GOING One thing we will need on Saturday 1st October is faith in the UK weather, so we have started our own weather planning by announcing the 7th rider into the line up…..Aaron Summers Aaron was in the original staging similar to Sam And Marius, but unfortunately had gone into retirement when arranging the meeting back in April. One piece of good news in the restaging was Aaron returning to the sport with Ipswich and Oxford, and Robbo was quick to ask Aaron whether he would be free for attempt 3, and long time friend Summers quickly agreed. Robbo said “I was gutted at the postponement obviously in April, but I’m really happy that I’ve been able to get Aaron back into the line-up. We go back a long way, and he has certainly done a good job with the Cheetahs and is helping Ipswich to a good end of season finish too. Will be good to have him back around for sure”. Line-up Simon Lambert Paul Starke Leon Flint Chris Harris Sam Masters Marius Hillebrand Aaron Summers

Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting FB GERMAN STARLET COMING BACK OVER THE WATER We are delighted to announce the 6th rider for the restaging of the Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting, is young German star Marius Hillebrand. Marius was originally going to make his first appearance around the Redcar circuit back in the original staging of the farewell meeting, and we are delighted he has agreed to come over for the restaging. Recommended by Peter Schroeck, Hillebrand will bring an entertaining style to the circuit and Robbo was only too happy to get him back in the line up. “I spoke to Peter the other week and he again mentioned about Marius, and with all the covid restrictions over and travel allowed I was only too happy to get him back in the line-up. I’m sure UK promoters will keep an eye on him, and it will be good for the crowd on the night to see how he gets on”.

Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting FB 5TH RIDER IS AN ABSOLUTE MASTERS-STROKE We are delighted to announce the 5th rider to be announced for the Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting at Redcar on Saturday 1st October is the 2022 Championship League Riders Champion Sam Masters Sam has led from the front this year and has been in sensational form for both Wolverhampton and Edinburgh and it is a real coup to have him back in the line-up. Robbo was delighted “Sam was in the original pre-covid line up, and couldn’t make the April staging due to the Monarchs Press and Practice day clashing on the same day. When I checked whether he might be able to ride on October 1st I was delighted when he agreed to it. He is a class performer and I know he will be one of the top boys on the night”.

Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting FB BOMBER HARRIS AGREES TO RIDE AGAIN 4th rider to be confirmed for the Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting at Redcar on 1st October is the Peterborough and Berwick Number 1 Chris 'Bomber' Harris Bomber has had a superb season, and has really shone for both the Panthers and the Bandits, where the Bandits fans have really enjoyed some great from the back manoeuvres this season. Robbo was really happy when Chris confirmed his attendance. “Bomber is still without doubt one of the sports most entertaining riders, and I was chuffed when he confirmed he would line up again. Only recently I saw him make some fantastic passing moves at Birmingham and it showed that he is still very much loving the sport. I’m sure the fans on the night will be treated to some great Bomber action.” Bomber will again be sponsored by the ROBBOS COVENTRY BEES FAN CLUB whilst his tyre and fuel will be sponsored by Sandra Robertson Black.

Robbo said “I was delighted when Leon agreed to ride back in April and was even happier when he agreed to take part again. He has had a great season and could well become a key part in any success Wolverhampton might have in the play offs this season. It will hopefully be good news for any Bandits fans that might come and support the event on the night”.

Charles Wright Racing FB | UPDATE After a heavy fall last night I'm feeling very second hand. I've been carrying a shoulder injury all season and landed hard on it last night. This unfortunately rules me out of the trip to Plymouth tonight to help the Bears grab that vital last point needed. I know the boys can do it!

Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting LAMBERT IS BACK AGAIN! 2nd rider from the original line-up to confirm his attendance is Scunthorpe’s Simon Lambert Out and out racer Lambert was quick to jump at the chance of racing in the meeting at Redcar on Saturday 1st October and will provide some stern opposition to the other 15 riders Robbo said “the moment we had to pull the plug in April, Simon kindly offered his services again whenever we had agreed a new date, and once we got in contact he was in straight away.
