Think CVS finished with Redcaf afew seasons ago,is it not the Gladders Brothers that Promote it now.

Gladders brothers are Directors.  Named Promoters are Kevin Keay and Jittendra Duffill (see post on first page).

Pretty sure CVS is still named as a director, and has been at Redcar a couple of times this season. Saying that, pretty sure he has very little to do with the running of things these days. 

Of course he's a director! I already posted a list of promoters and directors.

But then that would put Peterborough in doubt as he isn't allowed to run two in the same league.

Plus surely he would have to sell Peterborough to purchase Redcar.

Interesting comments from Kev Keay in the star where he says him and co director do everything at the track, not the same at Peterborough where they have an excellent back room team and a Supporters Club that provides back up and money to support the club.

The problem is not with the crowd size as such,probably better than most.The Owners are not capable of being Promoters so they need someone to do that job and all it entails for nothing as Kevin has done very well for 2 years.I can’t see anyone else doing that,so really they need to sell the club.

 
Kevin is Redcar Bears greatest asset and Kevin's greatest asset has always been communication. There has been no communication so for the sake of Redcar and the whole of British speedway I hope that its not true. 
British speedway cant afford to loose forward thinking promoters like Kevin

Well if CVS from Wolverhampton is a Director of the current Company rest assured they will be Speedway at Redcar next Season, 

CVS owns 30% of Redcar Eric Gladders 20% and Brian Gladders 50% so the Gladders Brothers hold the whip hand. They have refused any approach from Ged Rathbone in the past so it may not happen even if he is interested. Kevin & Brian Gladders did most of the work at the track with the help of a few dedicated helpers. Two of those who also act as clerk of the course and office manager I understand are also stepping down. Plus with Ben Duffill the other promoter having stood down earlier in the season it does not look good for next year. Let's hope there is some light at the end of the tunnel for the sake of both Redcar Speedway and the sport in total.

 

CVS has not taken an active role at Redcar for a number of years now.

I find the statement that the "directors have a different agenda" pretty worrying to be honest.

Hope it's not a case of cutting your nose off to spite your face.

 

Without any detail then why is that worrying? The directors might have the right agenda.

They might but it's worrying because there is obviously some conflict and the previously enthusiastic promoter has decided to quit.

You've more interest in it and know more than me so fair enough.

More worrying (and somewhat coincidental for any conspiracy theorists) is that Rathbone has just thrown in the towel at the EoES.

Not known for my sense of humour on here but you never know. Anyway, time will tell, it may be as reported so no problem with that. I dislike 8 miles round the ringroad so 6 hours travelling would break me.
