Could it be Bradley Wilson Dean?

It has to be the practice starts as at Redcar the winning team regularly comes out on a winning parade lap with no helmets on and often 2or 3 on a bike

Postponed by who? Genuine question and not stirring. Is it a Birmingham only decision , BSPL authorised with Birmingham ,In agreement with Redcar promoters or…..? Just wondering.

Gutted I can’t get there tonight but work/family etc dictate otherwise. 2 adults missing this due to the above reasons, got to be thankful this meeting is going ahead but this is Redcar’s 4th home meeting on three different days this season. Don’t know whether I’m moaning because I can’t go, or should be thankful that we can race pretty much any day we like. Only thing is by jumping to different days is that it is hard to plan ahead. Good luck to all tonight.

Thanks. Bad news for Brummies at the moment, hope it all works out well in the end.

Does this decision include away meetings, or is it just home meetings? It reads as though it’s the whole operation but just not sure if it’s just home meetings. Thanks

With Jordan’s injuries and subsequent operation, will we go with R/R until he is fit or do we look for a sort term signing (easier said than done),to cover until he is fit?

Yes, sorry , moved on to Redcar home match.

A good race track last night, plenty of passing & close racing. Just my opinion but bend 2 exit looked rough/rutted from my position on back straight. Main match handled it ok but the second half didn’t. Experience I presume.

Replying as a Redcar fan who wasn’t there last night, I feel Birmingham are getting a lot of bad press over this meeting. For those Redcar fans with long memories, think back to Sunday’s match against the Monarchs. We had to have remedial work on bend 2 - twice if I am right, as well as several other track grades & water breaks. If we had a 4.30pm curfew we could have been in the same predicament as Birmingham. God help us if we had a bad crash to contend with as well. This is with full track staff and full track equipment and as many hours as you want to prepare everything. I know people will say it is an afternoon meeting etc but we should be careful what we wish for. It was hot & sunny leading up to Sunday & hot & sunny 4 days after leading to Birmingham’s meeting, so there track has had 4 more days to bake. All the bad press we have given Birmingham could come back to haunt us. Redcar had better have a really well prepared track for Friday or a lot of crap Will be coming our way. Pressures on track staff now I think.

Just read that Anders Rowe is in Poland for the world pairs final on Saturday, so is he still able to ride on Friday night? Also presume we will not have Jordan Stewart, are we allowed a guest as R/R would be no good if Anders was to be missing, in my opinion

Are tactical substitute rides allowed this year? Will be close over both matches, probably bears to just edge aggregate win if no tac subs allowed

I am sure I saw an advert/fixture for a Nora meeting at either Redcar or Scunthorpe in a recent Speedway Star. Apologies if I am wrong but will look back tonight after work to see if I can see it.

Got to hope that they start with the “2nd” heat leader position, and not the lower rider.

Claus Vissing, Ellis Perks,or hopefully Jake Allen

I wonder if Billy Janneiro gave up his qualification spot leaving Dillon to be promoted into Visa positions

I know this was mentioned earlier in this topic and is regarding postage covers. We get Commercial Motor delivered by RTM media and they have switched to white envelopes in recent weeks from the clear/ polythene covers. Result is that it has been delivered every Thursday since the envelope has changed. Before it was erratic from Thursday to Monday deliveries. Possibly could help Speedway Star, although I do understand it has an expense attached to it.

Instead of lowering the team point limit, why not open up the premier/championship conversion allowance. It may enable a better rider to double down to get all teams out of a hole. Would also maybe strengthen the championship in the process

Yes, Pelaw Grange. Thanks for that just knew it as Birtley. Looked tidy at the time but was over 15 year since I last worked near it.

Does anyone know if the dog track in Birtley behind Drum Industrial Estate is still open? Only passed it once years ago. Always thought it was in a good place, think the railway was behind it and not many houses around, but there probably is now. Just curious.

I know this may sound strange, but can Glasgow be punished for not completing the season? Technically the season started as we had the Ben Fund, although I know that no league speedway has taken place. Personally I agree with Glasgow in what they have done, but we are talking about the BSPA here!

Mark Lemon must have had a few, well into double figures I would guess

Maybe it’s just an E

Where would Nathan Greaves fit into this team, and what would it leave for the last rider average wise

Would anyone put Adam Roynon ahead of Phillips or Buckhave. Similar average to Buckhave but very injury prone.
