Redcar V Sheffield 8/9/17


Recommended Posts

Anyone know the reason why this meeting, or the reverse fixture isn't taking place on the Thursday. Seems strange both Thursday tracks and racing on alternative dates

Sheffield have seniority over Redcar and Ipswich for Thursday nights, so I would imagine the fixture was scheduled originally for Friday. But like you say, if we aren't racing tomorrow ourselves, it does seem a bit odd, yes!

Just seen Josh Bates not riding tonight after a fall at home. Think that will diminish our chances even though flyin' Ryan Douglas will be guesting for him. Josh really put his all into the last meeting up there, even though he was riding Todds bike in his last two races, his effort was incredible.

Lasse Bjerre was missing last time, but will he perform tonight? Think the knee injury he's carrying might hinder him at the STMP more than it does on the bigger track at Sheffield.

Sad to see Garrity so out of touch. Must be looking over the air fix mechanics shoulder too much

Seen you or other post this before. What are you on about?

Had our usual try and spot a sheffield supporter who can applaud an opposition rider game again. Still yet to spot one since the sport returned to Redcar.

Well all good things have to come to an end sometimes and run of 13 winning meetings is a good run.

 

Congratulations to Redcar on what looks to have been a hard fought win. (take note Cobra).

 

Had a feeling that this might be the one that would get away from us, but really thought that going into the final 3rd of the meeting that we could maybe just hang on to win, but we faded and Redcar were stronger fair play to them.

 

Pity that Redcar look as though could well miss out on Play Off place, would be nice to see them in the mix (have to stop this been nice I am from Sheffield).

 

And finally a message for that Cheeky Cobra, if you come to Sheffield on Sunday come up to the benches on the first bend and say hello to group that I stand with, we will show you same good old hospitality that we show our many friends from Redcar that always stand with us. :t:

Take it you weren't at the meeting or even following the updates very closely otherwise you would have realised that Jason won his 2nd race and crashed out in his 3rd resulting in him being taken to hospital

Pretty cheap comments on your part IMO

Was a tongue in cheek comment, but I still stick with my original comment that they applaud a Sheffield rider on a victory lap but all bow their heads and pretend to fill in their programmes and don't even look when a Redcar rider went past. Heat 15 was a classic, Three riders went round, first Bjerre who they all clapped and cheered, but later ignored Wright and Barker. Bad sportsmanship. Its the body language that's the best bit, all doing the exact same thing.

Ps cant get to away meetings been self employed etc. Tried Newcastle once in 08ish but never again.
