Peterborough V Redcar Sunday Sgbc


Recommended Posts

Funny sort of meeting really. It was all over by about 6 heats due to a 5-0,5-1,5-1 start. Ben Barker rode brilliantly for Redcar but sadly not much to back him up. I do not think Varsity or Tobias were race fit.Rory a good guest and nice to see Simon get a couple of race wins. Tom Bacon continues to improve as well. 3 points in the bag. Our play off hopes rest with the northern weekend in the middle of August.

an easy way to solve the fixture mayhem .

 

scrap all the b type fixtures and fill in the odd one or two with another cup meeting or something .

 

the b fixtures are a total mush up taken from the premier league ( our name ) . and fans dont want to see a team more than once in the league .

 

so re invent something like , bringing the 4s qualifiers back , or play each team like a mini league . sorted .

Meeting got a lot better after the brief shower hit the track. Is that a typical crowd for the showground? Must say I was really surprised by the lack of people there.

Lower than normal - factor in 'the day after Cardiff', first weekend of school holidays, poor weather forecast, Redcar's second appearance in a week.

I think that a real EL with 9 home and 9 away fixtures was what Peterborough needed. Never happened of course and it's quantity over quality that was chosen for British Speedway, especially at the level we dropped into and stuck. Redcar x6 is testament to that. As for the crowd, Neil forgot to mention that there was nothing on the fixture which was the biggest factor IMO, plus the absence of Holder who is a draw at the EoES.

Good to know. Was gonna say, with an expensive team built there's absolutely no way they'd be able to carry on with crowds like that.

Well you found this thread but there's a Pairs one in the same section. As for the rest, look further up in the general section.
