dantodan Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 This is what the season is all about, the playoffs. The best teams fight it out at the end of the season. Redcar need to win their home matches so this match will be about Newcastle coming down the A19 looking to pick up a win in the opening match of this group of 3 teams.

Aceslider Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Does anyone know if Chris Schramm is fit to race? I see from Speedway update website he was withdrawn from the Silver Ski individual event on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 If the track is the same as it was last time I went to STMP, this could be a very good match indeed. Fingers crossed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedcarRacer Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Hoping for a good match, be fun to boo Mr Worrall from start to finish, although I fully expect him to hit a max - will be happy with a one point win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To have any chance of winning the group, Newcastle, quite simply, have to get something out of this match. I Doubt we will get anything at Somerset and we have to hope we do better than the Rebels at STMP. It may all come down to race points difference to determine the group winners. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PLPO format really needs looking at. Newcastle now potentially face (like last season) two home meaningless PO fixtures if Somerset gain a point at Redcar. Hardly the excitement the PO's are supposed to generate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arson fire Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Well done Redcar, can blame the playoff format for us being inept, yet again our so called better riders go missing away from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJC71 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) Agree and you beat me to it. It's a stupid ill thought out format (what a shock in speedway). As you say the two home matches are pretty much dead rubbers with defeat at Somerset inevitable. Will be very difficult to promote and two poor crowds on probably cold nights will cost the club money. Good performance from Redcar and good luck to them although I think Somerset will win this group easily. In all honesty unless there were mitigating circumstances; and I mean injury and not bike problems; that was a shocking performance from the Diamonds after Lewis gave us such a good start. Two riders in particular have let us down badly and possibly even kissed goodbye to team places for 2014. Really disappointing night for the club. Was always going to be tough with r/r but talking nothing away from Redcar that was awful. Edited September 26, 2013 by NJC71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the two underdog teams go and make a huge upset tonight, and the PLPO format needs looked at !!! Some people think their teams just need to turn up , just like Ippo tonight, how wrong were they. A Worky-Redcar final , mmmmmm, now that would shut a few up especially the ones further south ;-) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arson fire Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 We simply arnt good enough on our travels and when we are, we succumb under pressure in heat 15 alot.... Or throw away points from winning positions time and again..... No doubt the usual bike problems and slick track will be to blame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
