Brian Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 To paraphrase what Ged said last weekend (assuming I've remembered correctly and not made this up) he said that although owning his local track may appeal at some stage, now is not the time. Any thoughts of Ged taking over Redcar isn't going to be now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway4ever Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Still no news if we have a promoter for next season. If not then it will be Workington and Newcastle to go see next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wealdstone Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Ged said that he would have been interested in running Redcar and Panthers but was rebuffed by current Redcar owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current Redcar owners don't like Ged (wonder why) and it is alleged that they have said they would rather level the place than let him have it. How much truth there is in that rumour is anyone's guess. However at Scunny on Sunday it was mentioned that Brian Havelock could be being lined up for a return with JD (as co promoter) and young Havvy (team manager) taking on bigger more hands on roles. Not sure how popular that decision would be; or how true it is for that matter; however if it keeps the sport running in Redcar it may be a case of better the devil you know. As it would be a travesty if Redcar didn't run. (and that's from a Geordie) Regards THJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is any truth in that rumour then they are "cut your nose off to spite your face" people and not taking a very kind approach to existing Bears fans ( unless they wish to carry on running it at Redcar ).

True but lets face it when you talk to Ged or if you ever have the misfortune to have any dealings with him you would find he is a rather odious misanthropic miscreant type of a guy.

Sponsored a couple of Glasgow riders in the past and used to talk to Stuart now and then when our paths crossed but since he is off to Leicester I doubt that will be happening much now and being a person who considers himself rather a "gregarious chap" (alright gobsh!te) I will converse with and listen to anyone and value their opinion and beliefs even if I don't always agree with them. Then of curse you can always resort to the "smack in the mouth" protocol that is usually a deal clincher. Regards THJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry spelt his name wrong in the first post and to give Stewart credit he is a very knowledgeable guy and always has something worth listening to when it comes to this sport. It will take a long time for his Glasgow core to change to a Leicester one because if you could cut him in two; like a stick of rock; he would have Glasgow Tigers written right down the middle. However Glasgow's loss is definitely Leicesters gain. Regards THJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards THJ Doubt that I've ever been on any Panthers promoter or manager Christmas card list so wouldn't worry yourself about any mutual appreciation society! Don't know Rathbone and have no wish to get to know him, although left it a bit late now. As Mr Bratley once told me (probably by red hot PM), it's not what you say but the way that you say it. Anything like your post aimed at Peterborough or associated, if I see it, will get a response, always has and always will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't worry if I were you there was no slight at Boro and I only wish the club well. So get down off the old high horse. Dont know Mr Bratley never met him so cant comment and I always thought it was Bananarama who said "it's not what you say but the way that you say it" and I do admire your commitment in defending all things Peterborough. It is still my personal view and sorry if you don't like it however that I have a very low opinion of Ged and no doubt he of me however when we meet we still pass pleasantries after all it costs nothing to be civil. Also I must add that I do find it somewhat remarkable that you defend a guy you have never met or spoken to. You will be telling me Charles Manson is a nice bloke and Peter Sutcliffe was just misunderstood with a premise like that!!! Never mind and just to get back on topic I know many Redcar fans would not be to impressed if "Old Man Havvy" was to return however if it was a straight choice between Brian coming back and not running surely the former is much more preferable. (Oh and by the way I like old Brian he is great craic and has some fantastic story's) (but if anyone wants to slag him off that's fine as "Like the Murp... oops sorry cracked that one earlier... but you know what I mean) Regards THJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyfox Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Good to see in The Speedway Star and The Teesside Gazette today that CVS & the other directors (the brothers) are very positive about Redcar in 2019. Looking to appoint a new promoter in the next couple of weeks (probably new to Redcar). Looking Good!!!!!

boz Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 I can't see Havvy coming back into the fold now - I'm hoping someone similar to Keay in terms of ideas moving forwards. Would imagine we would want it all sorted out by the AGM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
