Lord Skid Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 What a joke, football fixtures been known for ages, Redcar must be in a time warp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Why didn't they just postpone the England game for those watching Redcar to be able to see it? Â Professional sport my backside! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Skid Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Genuine reasons for calling a meeting off now include, it might rain in a couple of days, there's a football match next week, we've got a burst pipe, the generator isn't working, and people wonder why it's treated as a joke sport.

Shadders Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 British speedway is dying on it's arse. What a joke, football fixtures been known for ages, Redcar must be in a time warpTeam changes must be imminent at Redcar. I tried to book the Thursday off to go, but no slots available. Lucky me!!

boz Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Would have been financial suicide to run against an England World Cup match so have no problem with the call off - more worrying is that was scheduled in the first place! Â Edited to add that it should probably have been called > 10 days beforehand though. Edited June 10, 2014 by boz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike.Butler Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) surely with some foresight they could have scheduled this for one of the blank thursdays they seem to have had already? Edited June 10, 2014 by Mike.Butler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 wht oh why can the bspa and fifa get together over a cup of tea to sort out this fixture clash. i would have gone to watch the england team in brazil. but didnt go because i thought england would call off because redcar were running a speedway meeting against rye house.. have it on good authority that wilko and laws were planning a footy night out in the pub.lol.

Dave Stummings Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Well I have booked two days off for Redcar and Edinburgh. Hotel for the night in Redcar and Edinburgh then the journey home on the Saturday for Rye House. Okay I can cancel the hotels, but not my leave at work. I'm fumming Silver has agreed to cancel this, surely he had a say in the matter? Redcar should have canceled as soon as the England fixture was released. I'm really becoming totally cheesed of with speedway. I'm so unhappy with the way Rye House is being run and this just about tops it for me. Edinburgh for a one off, no thanks. Right now I really feel like walking away from Rye House and speedway in general. But I have said this before and still go to Rye, but this just may have been the straw that broke the camels bacl!

Shadders Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Agree with some of the comments above. Why wasn't this fixture moved when the football fixtures were known? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the World Cup draw made BEFORE the speedway fixtures were announced? They've had months to rearrange this Edited June 10, 2014 by Shadders 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Promoters by in large don't give a monkeys about their supporters, just as long as you hand over your money and they are happy. The World Cup draw was weeks ago, fixtures and venues were sorted out soon after. Â Feeling your pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lucan Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Redcar v Rye House, live.... England v whomever it is, live or..... watching paint dry?? yep, third option get's my vote!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is shoddy (to be kind) by Redcar.  Then you wonder why crowds are falling. Edited June 11, 2014 by Steve Park 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Skid Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Sheffield racing at home same night, has that been called off yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Sheffield racing at home same night, has that been called off yet?probably not as Sheffield have decent stadia where they can show it in the bar/restaurant.... Unlike redcar with a portable on top of a calor gas fire 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Given all Sheffield's postponements at Owlerton recently, they might not have a choice but to run that night (weather permitting, obviously!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
