  1. Why’s it ironic? The following posts clearly stated what can and can’t be done at Redcar if you care to read them.
  2. Interesting to see that Josh Embleton was in the Redcar programme ( last weeks as they used an insert for last night ) to ride in the 2nd half. Thought he was out for the season ?
  3. Well at least they got enough to fill a race at the Isle of Wight Nora version, but less than last years effort. Well done to the winner, Katie Gordon, by far the best lady racer we currently have in the UK.
  4. You’re just fishing for another argument. You clearly have ‘ issues’, patience being one of them.
  5. The rules on tyres are there to prevent cheating, they used to cheat so they brought a rule in to stop it. Now it doesn’t suit you because you can’t wait ten minutes so you want it changed, the sport is in decline , for lots and lots of reasons, moaning about having to wait whilst everyone gets a fare crack at winning a meeting is probably one of them.
  6. You really don’t know how it works do you….each rider…all 16 of them , should have a spare wheel and a brand new £45 tyre ( unauthorised ) on it….just in case ? A tyre that if they don’t qualify they can’t use at any other meeting ! Think they know what they are dealing with and you just need to be a bit more patient.
  7. Not sure about Ross but Barker was a temp signing to replace who ? hang on, it will come to me….. Oh yeah!….Riss !
  8. The tyre has to be authorised by the ref, then issued, then fitted preferably without nipping the tube, then inflated, then balanced, then fitted to the bike and chain aligned before final adjustment, in the pit bay with everyone waiting….clearly you have never fitted a speedway tyre.
  9. You think they would all have spare rear wheels with new tyres fitted just in case, wouldn’t you ! Get real.
  10. They have a very good relationship with Redcar council since having renewed the lease in 2018 when a lot of constraints on the club were removed.
  11. With question marks over a few championship tracks, Edinburgh ( stadium issues ) Plymouth ( lack of a crowd ) Birmingham ( lack of a crowd and massive financial losses allegedly) and possibly one or two who haven’t gone public with their concerns, then the options are limited. Only Oxford making noises about moving ‘up’ but to what ?
  12. So you know him personally ? You know exactly what happened ? and haven’t based your opinion on hearsay and tittle tattle ? I have my opinion on that.
  13. Workington Meteors 14 Redcar Cubs 22 H.McGurk did take 2 rides for Meteors in this match but his points do not count due to his NDL average being too high at the start of the season.
  14. Meteors C.Foy did not ride -injured L.Richardson 2,2,2,……..6 E.Betty 2,0,0…….2 C.Kluczniak 1*,3,2….6&1. Harry McGurk took two rides, winning both but his points did not count as his NDL average was too high at the start of the season Cubs A.Goldsbrough 3,3,3….9 max D.McTeer…1,1,1….3 O.Bovingdon 3,2,3….8 O.Binns EF,1*,1….2&1.
  15. So Rathbone gets dumped ? Thought he was doing ok considering his lack of track activity and in the difficult no.2 position.
  16. If your telling me that only one UK female racer has a SCB licence then it makes it a complete mockery that they held a ‘ Championship ‘ anyway ! Liebmann would come in on a 5 , I asked Mr. Vatcher as I was that impressed with her posting sub 57 second race times on borrowed equipment. The lady looked good enough to score points in the championship given an opportunity.
  17. Just the two . What an embarrassment. Whilst Liebmann is probably UK Championship standard , she was very quick, why did the SCB feel it needed to fly her over to ride against a junior and call it a championship with only 2 riders in two out of the three rounds? Waste of time and money .
  18. Might just be that because the senior teams keep moving fixtures and the BYC keep moving dates then the NJL have to change the dates of matches so a published fixture list for juniors isn’t worth the paper it is written on. Redcar Cubs have had their first three fixtures postponed due to circumstances they had no control over, please remember they are at the mercy of their clubs and mams/dads and rider availability.
  19. So you dont know the rules for qualification but still think your comment worthwhile and helpful to a rider out of form ? Your right on one thing, it’s none of your business…… so why make such a disparaging comment ? Harrison is in his first season at this level so wouldn’t be within the qualification guidelines, which as usual with the SCB are not clear and open and can be changed for “the benefit of the sport “ at any time. Harrison is just back from injury so he will get his chance , quite possibly on the day , this could be Harry’s last chance to ride in this meeting, and if your sure there’s more under 19’s ahead of him…..impress me, name them.
  20. Let’s face it, the SCB have a long history of dealing with individuals and clubs in a very inconsistent way, it’s called favouritism. I’m not commenting on the individual case as it appears very few know the truth about what happened but when it comes to dealing with such things you can rely on the SCB NOT to be clear and open about their decisions.
  21. Silly comment. Riders go through tough patches , comments like that hardly help them. He’s got his place on merit, based on performances from last season, this may be the opportunity to get his confidence back .
  22. Redcar ‘ Gallagher Insurance ‘ Cubs 27 Edward Davison 2’, F, 1………3&1. Alex Goldsbrough 3, 3, 3…..9 Max. Seth Norman. 2’, 2’, 3……7&2. P. Max Ollie Bovingdon 3, 3, 2’….8&1 P.Max. Armadale Angels K.Lyden guest? did not ride. Laylen Richardson guest 1, 2, 2……..5 Liam Morris 0, 0, 0……..0 Lee Harrison 1,1,1…..3.
  23. So if it’s in print , it must be true ??? like some of the rubbish we see on this forum. ? what was actually said, then interpreted, then printed, is quite often a long way off what was meant. If he wasn’t right, he would not be riding, that’s why he took so long off. He certainly didn’t look dangerous whilst scoring paid 13 last week.
