These are some of the comments made about the 2017 Fours at Peterborough : One of, if not the best 4TT's I've seen. Well organised, minimal delays and lovely weather. IMHO the presentation was good, the organisation was good and some of the racing was bloody brilliant. There was some awesome racing in the final so anyone who decided to stay away missed a great meeting. The last 9 heats in the final was some of the best/tightest racing you will see for a while Probably because some of the racing - particularly in the final - was just superb. That final was some of the best Ravi g I have ever seen. Just bloody brilliant. I thoroughly enjoyed another entertaining fours featuring some brilliant races, especially in the final, and must congratulate the majority of riders for putting on such a show When's the last time you read similar comments about a meeting at Redcar ? The really interesting bit is that 2016 was even better. Edited January 29, 2018 by Halifaxtiger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong I never said the Fours at Peterborough was bad - I just don't think it will be any worse, racing wise, for going to Redcar - far from it.

Makes me laugh people saying it should be here or there. Well it's at Redcar this year and i'm sure the promotion will do their best to make it a good day for all Speedway fans going to watch it.

The really interesting bit is that 2016 was even better. Every week when I used to write the match reports for the Bears website Saying that you seem to be banging on about this a tad OTT and suggests an underlying something you have against Redcar. At the end of the day its going to be at Redcar like it or not and know one knows if its going to be a good meeting or not. PS. Wasn't 2016 at Redcar?

boz Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I don't think HT has anything against Redcar, he is always very fair I find. I think it's fair to say a number of people really enjoyed the last couple of Fours meetings at Peterborough and would have liked to see it back there. I'm confident we can also put on a very good meeting, and very much looking forward to it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 I'm happy it's at Redcar one of the tracks I've yet to visit, two to go after this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldywonkenoldi Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Halifaxtiger is one of the diehards of the sport, very fair in his assessments of speedway today, like all on this forum he is entitled to his opinion, sometimes right, sometimes wrong, but like all fans has his own preferences, if he says Peterborough fours will take some beating, let Redcar show him it can and will be done, but wasn't it Redcar Bears who made last years final so good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevePark Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 It's a "Shared Event," so, surely, it should be 'shared around' the tracks? It can get a bit boring going to the same place for the same event every year (PLRC etc), so a different place, for me, anyway, is good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topaz325 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Is it not down to which tracks apply to run the meetings as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is, but, I'm still to be convinced that Sheffield and Peterborough have been the only tracks willing to host the PLRC (as it was) or the Fours for the last few years (up until last year when the CLRC was switched to Glasgow).

Tsunami Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 There are many clubs who can't host the 4's, or don't want to, sometimes due to lack of parking and pits not big enough. Whether people like it or not, but Peterborough is the real home for the 4's due to a great track, the racing, facilities, parking, viewing, as long as the venue is available for the right period. In it's absence, I applaud Redcar for taking up the challenge and will be there to support them and the event. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that is billed as the National stadium. Is that not what most sports do have their finals at their National stadiums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
