Is that not what most sports do have their finals at their National stadiums. Not too sure on this ,   but the new Wembley is used for BOTH Cup Finals & errrrrrr now the FA Cup Semi Finals. It, also, hosts the Play Off Finals.  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly , at our level it's only fit and proper the big events get shared around the league . I love the fours at Peterborough , but i'm sure it will be a great occasion at Redcar and the racing will be superb . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 What is the capacity at Redcar, because it didn't look like it would hold all the fans that normally attend the fours the last time I was there ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2006 when we opened there was nearly 5000 fans according to a senior speedway official,  and facilities have improved since then, so if all teams send 500 supporters it maybe a full house, BUT I cant see that many coming from the 5 southern based teams, so should be a well organised, supported, and fair competition, on a fair racing circuit that will suit all riders/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yearbyred Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 The nearly 5000 included a lot on the banking above the back straight which is not open now. Viewing only available from bend 4 to bend 2 . Additional temporary stands will be needed to let everyone have a decent view. Im pretty confident the promotion will have all this in hand - they’ve done a good job so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?  There's only one biased opinion here and it isn't mine  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is neutral venues - as good as they sound - rarely attract the attendances that these sort of meetings need, nor do they match those drawn at a Championship clubs home track. I reiterate my point : why move a shared event if a track does a good job year in, year out ?  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenga Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) p Peterborough was superb on the 2 day event . seen the dvd , looked brill . but the only let down was the riders who didnt want to ride on the 2nd day . all those top names couldnt get their act together because they were not getting paid enough wonga ! it was only 2 days entertainment they had to put on for the fans who give them so much more during the season and they could not be ar$$ed .but hey , they still stopped on sunday to watch . wonder if they paid !  Edited January 31, 2018 by jenga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As previously stated neutral venues do not generally provide the BSPA with the revenue they clearly expect these events to make, that and the fact a lot of clubs just don’t want to stage them.

Arson fire Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Surprised this is being held at Redcar as the place is a dump and the facilities appalling, viewing is rubbish also unless stood on the temporary stand or the ramshackle on bend one...The stands get full when the Diamonds go there on a Thursday nevermind the whole league on a sunny Sunday. Still pleased its being shared about though and not just the same old, no matter how good the showground is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we won't need any more catering facilities - everybody can have a bit of that massive chip on your shoulder 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
