Hope it's not a case of cutting your nose off to spite your face. Kevin has also been frustrated by the "agenda's" of many BSPA members. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yearbyred Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Given this mornings news from Peterborough maybe it makes more sense, or maybe not. My comment earlier was a reflection of the excellent work Kevin Keay had done over the last 2 years and disappointment that he would no longer be involved.

However the Gladders brothers have always said they would not let Ged into the club. That is why he ended up at Peterborough. So a big change of mind from the brothers needs to take place for that to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boz Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Interesting interview with Kev on BBC Tees earlier tonight. Sounds like budget was one of the key drivers for his decision. Worryingly for me, sounds like the brothers are not keen to pay for track preparation. I think Terry has done a great job over the last couple of seasons with the track and is money well spent in my eyes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if they are not prepared to pay for track work they must be considering their options and perhaps withdrawing their interests in The Bears too? Would that open the door to Ged Rathbone in bearing in mind The Brothers have previously stated they did not welcome his involvement?

RedcarRacer Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 It is pretty clear that Redcar will run but the Bros won't give up the reigns - every Redcar fan would love Ged to be in charge, it is mouthwatering what he could do, and I don't doubt one day he might be in charge but can't see it this year. The Gladders will just bring in a new promoter who is told to build on a shoe-string, probably even more than this side was built too. Kevin did a great job and it is a massive disappointment to see him go.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what it sounds like - even with a poor team this season we still normally got decent racing on a track. False economy not paying for a decent track imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch958 Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 why don't the brothers just take the bloody money and put their feet up. They'll get a good price from Rathbone and we'll progress as a club. Win win 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much of the behind the scenes goings on and, I'm assuming, lack of track work played a part in the BEN meeting being cancelled along with the alleged lack of availability of riders? I'd have thought have a meeting like that would have helped things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I have any knowledge but I think the cancellation of the Ben meeting had zero to do with lack of track work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway4ever Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Fans are putting their hard earned into the track as well, but personally I cannot see how Redcar will survive unless the brothers put more in for next season. I would hate to see Redcar go NL because of lack of investment. As Ged seems to get a lot of mention about how good it would be if he bought it if the the directors sold out, but it will be a toughy. Do the supporters want the directors to keep it on and not invest as needed or leave it and risk moving down a championship?. I would rather see them sell out and let someone put new ideas into the club and move it forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
