StevePark Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 We can't gate for love nor money at the moment, for some reason. Hopefully that will return for Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothers Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Good grief Erik Riss is a cracking signing! Bears coasted this to be honest. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle made their fair share of the starts tonight but were soon swallowed up coming out of the 2nd bend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortythirtyeight Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 As a neutral , I risked the trip and the forecast (yet again ) but was rewarded by sharp presentation and a decent meeting. 21 races completed in 1 and a half hours with lightening and rain all around. Congratulations to all concerned in getting the meeting completed. Not the best racing I've seen at Redcar but the Diamonds didnt put up much of a fight and when they did gate the Bears top end were simply too good for them. Jorgensen and Østergaard had there moments but Worrell was a pale shadow of his former self and race wins weren't coming easily. Wright, Riss, Palm-Toft and Stewart were class acts and Andersen , despite his lack of points, was in the thick of it.The Bears are a good side but Wooley looks out of his depth which could prove costly come the play off's. The junior match was rattled through, understandably, but credit where it's due for the club running it at all when other clubs would simply have cancelled it. Rathbone looks a prospect and the Kids races were excellent. Looked a good crowd and a great atmosphere around the place but parking was an issue as the main car park was full by 6:45 . Not many Diamonds fans in attendance which was surprising but perhaps the weather forecast put them off as not as many of the Workington fans there as I've seen before. As Arnie says..." I'll be back ". 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shout out to Ben Rathbone flying during the second half. Well done to the Gems on another win. They should get signed up for the first team. ;-) Has Been Rathbone been riding all season for the cubs?

He's a Middlesbrough lad and was replacing Elliott Kelly who had been told by Mildenhall , his NL club, not to ride (?) . I understand Rathbone has ' guested ' a number of times at Redcar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly was stopped from riding so they brought a local lad in as a guest who had ridden for them in the past , Gems brought a National League rider from Stoke into their team who I understand had also ridden for them once before . You really do put some silly comments on here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle had no problem with Redcar using Ben Rathbone who is a local lad and obviously available.
