Are you serious Shads, It's even slicker than Rye and definitely drier. Just need to turn up to get 4 points. It won't be speedway though.

Sadly this state of affairs, is mainly brought about by Havelock and the rest of the consortium. I would bet if you canvassed the stay away supporters (of which I am now one), the majority would say, it was due to the contempt shown to them by the management. It isn't a question of hanging in there, because with Havelock there, nothing will change. Under the present management, the quality of the product is nowhere near fit enough for consumption. In it's present guise losing the speedway would not be a total disaster, in fact it may have to happen. A good many people I know from there, think it may have to come to that. At today's prices the old chestnut, ( that some speedway is better than no speedway) does not hold. My own personal hope is that this management go and we get a "Pheonix effect" because there are interested parties out there. This club can definitely be run at a profit, it just needs managing with some imagination.

I'm sorry to have to say it, but " racing was good value". There was passing in heats 1 and 2 (Clownopka screwed up) and in ht 11 (Clownopka screwed up again) and then that was it. All the other races were follow the leader, with all the shale gone and the track bone dry by the end of ht 5. If you enjoyed it great, but for me and many others, it was extremely forgettable and frustrating, when you think what it could have been.

Well that does it for me. I am sorry but I cannot watch that. I can take it that we do not have a very good team, I can take getting beaten, but I can not take that miserable excuse for entertainment. It is the track that really pees me off. We have potentially, one of the most exciting tracks in the country, but a bone dry, bald, super slick, road is produced. I do not blame the track curator's,(I think they just work to orders), it's the management I blame. So on that basis, that is the last £16 they are getting out of me. I honestly think Havelock and the Gladders brothers are killing the place. I have heard the argument many times, that some speedway is better than no speedway, well what I saw tonight was not speedway.

There's only ever one plan Ken. Get the cheapest side out, that you possibly can.

I would be very surprised, if Tomas Suchanek wasn't under consideration.

Well lets see who he can charm into coming then. I don't expect to be overwhelmed.

Think Havelock, needs to mount, a charm offensive to "woo" riders to Redcar. Well we know he can be "offensive", think its the "charm" bit he might struggle with.

I think you are missing the point. My reply was aimed at the previous poster, who was implying that Redcar knew, that Rich Lawson had signed for Lakeside before Redcar and also that the fixtures were known. Lawson signed for Redcar at the end of November / beginning of December 2013, long before the fixtures had come out. He became a Lakeside asset ( albeit dubious) at the end of February / beginning of March 2014. So it meant rather a lot then, but as the poster said this should never happen again. This is speedway, so undoubtedly it will.

Lawson signed for Redcar, before he signed for Lakeside.

Sorry about that, it all now becomes clear.

Sorry but I think you are dreaming there. It should be close and either team could sneak it, but the bears will not win with room to spare. Too many bandits, who go well around Redcar.

My definition is movement before the tapes go up and the only relevance, to touching the tapes, is you get disqualified for that. Any movement before the tapes go up is illegal. Mind you, you could always rewrite the rule book to your ideology. PMSL, Good luck to the lad if he is doing that.

I stand on the start line and I can confirm, that he most definitely jumped in the first running of heat 2 and also in another heat with Hugh Skidmore in it.

Sadly, that is the truth.

It certainly was. I asked for some shale and a bit of water, to go with it. Hey presto, what we got was entertainment. Speedway was the winner tonight.

As a matter of fact, I do. No sitting on the fence there. I can see your viewpoint there and you can safely say, that I (and many others) are not happy with life at Redcar speedway. You can take the boy out of Worky, but you can never take Worky out of the boy. The truth always comes out.

What are you lot on. You know Worky have an excellent chance of winning at Redcar. No doubt Stoney Legend will be shi££y ar$ing about their chances, before the meeting and then crowing afterwards if they win, also telling us how wonderful that Havelock chap is ( he might ask Richard Lawson's views on that). From my viewpoint, I would settle for an entertaining meeting, raced on a track, with a decent amount of shale and well watered, (so fat chance of that happening with cheapskate Havelock about). It will be the usual, bone dry, super slick motorway, so bring your gating gloves. Oh by the way we have lost our last two matches at home.

This is a tough match, but one thing is certain it will be close. No team is favourite, its neck and neck, should go to the last heat and its who gets up for it on the night. STMP should hold no fears for the monarchs, with a lot of Redcar specialists, top of which is the Cookie monster. Lets hope for a good track and a safe meeting.

It will come as no surprise, to most Redcar fans, that this has happened. The promoter is definitely a senility candidate and probably had one lucid moment and realised there was a clash of matches. Anyway back off to Gaga land.

Even more likely, on Thursday at Redcar. Forecast is not very good.

Could not agree more

Sudden availability not a good enough reason. Are all guests gonna be booked, on the basis that it may be cancelled due to "sudden availability". That is one of the reasons the rule is there in place. Thanks.

Nice try, but the key word is " necessary". Somerset have already applied for and received a facility (guest) for Morris. Ricky Wells (chosen guest) is fit and available to fulfil the booking, so therefore, any further changes are NOT necessary. That clause is to cover for any subsequent withdrawals, after team nomination.

I don't know wether anybody noticed, but Ty Proctor, didn't have any EL commitments, last night. Oops! sorry Somerset sacked him.
