I think most Redcar supporters weren’t keen on Kus coming back and if the rule re the Czech league has been in place for a while (as some are saying is the case) then the fault lies with Redcar. Glasgow should really be coming away with 4 points from this meeting now.

Only going on what Kevin Keay said on radio - Proctor was booked but after a protest by Glasgow the ruling was made. Can’t see it does the sport much good, it weakens an already weak team and I’m sure the crowd figure will reflect this.

Just listening to Kevin Keay on the local radio , Ty Proctor was booked as guest to replace Kus but Glasgow appealed and it was ruled that a NL guest had to be used, Ryan Terry Daley.

Some of the paying public will suffer but I'm sure a few of the people who pick and choose their meetings now (that includes me these days) will just decide not to attend.

I want suggesting that I wanted to see Garrity (or any rider injured at all) - just could have done without his Wealdstone Raider impression after his previous ride and post crash.

I'm sure Scott Nicholls walk back to the pits featured less Liam Gallagher wannabe posturing/pantomime villain antics than Garrity's however. Didn't see the re-run of Heat 9, left during the (second) wait for the replacement ambulance. The team always looked like a lower end of the table side but they are under performing and with just about all visiting riders enjoying riding at Redcar (very little home track advantage) it could be a very challenging season both on and off the track.

Wells is the guest.

Thought Stewart looked much better in his last ride when he didn’t ride as tight around the first and second bends. Overall was pleased with everyone’s showing but will be much sterner tests ahead.

Slightly unfair - I wouldn't say all the visiting Newcastle supporters are hefty although it's a reasonable amount Last time I went to Brough, I think Martin Dixon had a cracking meeting so it's been a while.

Think this will be pretty close - Newcastle have riders who have a lot of experience around Redcar and the Bears have 2 riders having their first appearance at the track (assuming Stewart is fit enough to ride) A lot will depend on the 2 enigmas - Kus and Lindgren. Not much in it either way.

Postponed

I’m perfectly happy to call out Redcar fans and riders when I think they are in the wrong. Every team has fans whose behaviour doesn’t reflect well on the team. If I thought JBA’s move was wilfully designed to cause Worrall harm I would say so but in my opinion it wasn’t.

Yes that's right it's only "snowflakes" (copyright Daily Mail) who bring these things up says the bloke quoting chapter and verse about incidents involving other teams riders. My irony meter has gone to 11. I take it you have read Richie's facebook post (the one titled JBA F*** me) and the associated replies stating "your time will come" and Richie baiting Jonas to respond on Facebook whilst others call JBA every name under the sun. I trust you are ashamed to be a speedway fan by association?

Don't think it helps the sport at all - riders inciting others on social media (some of the comments on Richie's post are very inflammatory). Most riders have been involved in incidents like this - despite what certain people say Richie has been involved in numerous incidents with Redcar riders and whilst i can understand sticking up for his brother the irony of him complaining about so called dangerous riding is not lost on a lot of us.

Given his brothers Facebook comments (and some of the responses) I think that’s highly unlikely. People will always see events differently - looks like 2 guys having a good race to me.

Scorpions would have hit 60 if SW hadn't left the meeting early (hope he is ok). Could be the taste of things to come in a lot of away meetings for the Bears - new riders will take a while to bed in and some others are (sadly) as consistent as usual. Scorpions will beat a lot of better teams than us particularly if the reserves chip in some points.

Very much a blow the cobwebs away fixture - most riders first meeting of the season. Scorpions look to have a strong line up this year and the Bears have a few riders making their first visit to the circuit. Scorpions by 15 I think - just hope everyone has a safe meeting.

“Try the truth” Even the response is sanctimonious. Well done Redcar on getting the 4’s anyway - thread has gone off track slightly.

Convenient? Sanctimonious tosh. boz was simply stating the fact that Redcar fans have been abused at Newcastle in the past. To suggest it is a problem just at Redcar is disingenuous on your part.

As many people have said things will need to be done to improve facilities prior to the 4's final taking place and I'm confident the current promotion will endeavour to do as much as they can. They should be applauded for wanting to stage a national event - the lucky few that can see the racing will hopefully enjoy it Most people have managed to comment on this without using the words "dump", "appalling" "rubbish" and "ramshackle" Can't please all the people.

We can tell you are pleased

The nearly 5000 included a lot on the banking above the back straight which is not open now. Viewing only available from bend 4 to bend 2 . Additional temporary stands will be needed to let everyone have a decent view. Im pretty confident the promotion will have all this in hand - they’ve done a good job so far.

Busch is final rider. A team built to a budget and with only 1 real heat leader but a potentially strong reserve pairing. Solid but unspectacular.

Jordan Stewart confirmed.
