The White Knight Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 From what I know and thats not a lot according to some people, Glyn Taylor ran into trouble because he tried to make redcar a viable propersition, lets not forget he was running the show on his own. He had invested a large amount of his own personal money into the project including I believe re-mortgaging his home. Now Glyn Taylor was by no means a business man but he loves speedway, he put his heart and sole into Redcar speedway, he was always approachable, often to honest, never openly slammed anyone that I can remember, never slated his own fans in public, never came across as the big I am and definately put on a better show than we have now. When Glyn ran into severe financial problems he took the decision to try and cut his costs. He asked all riders to take a pay cut, one rider in particular who was the biggest earner at the time steadfastly refused to take a pay cut. So lets not be so hasty in putting all the blame for Redcars problems at the time at the feet of one person. VERY well said vivabossman - that is it in a nutshell. Whatever Glyn did or didn't do - he provided a GREAT Track for Riders to Race on. That fact alone should NOT be forgotten. He ALWAYS did his best for Redcar Speedway. Sometimes things don't work out and, sadly, it didn't for Glyn - he made some mistakes - BUT - don't we all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedcarRacer Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Since Glyn Taylor left, Redcar - have cut their cloth accordingly and the promotion, whilst penny pinching have not struggled, they have also not threatened to sell the club. Taylor bought Redcar because he thought he could make money, thought it was easy and quickly found out it wasnt and because of this he said he would close the club down. luckily for Redcar investment was found.

I'm not arguing with you on that. What I AM saying is that Glyn did NOT try to kill off Redcar Speedway as you implied in your Post - that is all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
