ruckerroo Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 A battle of 2 teams with injury issues it seems. I presume wright is out concussion and is there a doubt over toft ? EAstbourne have slight doubt over kennett and god knows who will be at reserve, if humes not allowed i hope its dan gilkes ( hoped it was him last week tho ) Lets hope the weather plays fair and we get 2 good meetings , whoever goes thru must be favs to win the cup really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Dan Gilks looked a class act round Kent on Monday. I would rate him only just behind Hume and Morley ,,with I expect plenty of improvement to come.an excellent prospect who looks ready for the Championship...

Yearbyred Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Teams for Friday (assuming Toft is fit) taken from Bears press release Redcar: Jake Allen, Kasper Andersen, Michael Palm Toft, Jordan Stewart, Erik Riss, Tom Woolley, Nathan Greaves Eastbourne: Edward Kennett, r/r for Georgie Wood, Kyle Newman, Lewis Kerr, Richard Lawson, Danny Phillips, Jason Edwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 MPT is due to guest for P/boro on Thursday ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erimus11 Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Good choice of guest for Charles Wright - Jake Allen scored 13+1 from 5 rides when he rode for Scunny at Redcar earlier in the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekycobra Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 If Toft is out (I hope he isn't) and the Bears go for R/R, would it make a difference to use Allen as a guest for Toft instead of Wright? Or would it make no difference. Allen could cover for either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilkes was also class around Leicester last Saturday. First time I have seen him, very fast and never out of control on a track which catches many inexperienced riders out. Definitely one to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yearbyred Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Adam Ellis guesting for the Bears at Eastbourne. Eagles using the same team in both legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted September 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 I cant believe eastbournes savvy management haven't at least used gilkes for the home leg, they've got a mountain to climb really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortythirtyeight Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Redcar look considerably weaker without Wright and possibly MPT so this match is in the balance. Eastbourne doing themselves no favours by having Phillips guest at Redcar, obviously a financial decision which shows the state of the sport. I think Redcar will need at least a fifteen point advantage from the home leg and I don't see that happening without those two but I do hope it's an all north east final. Then I'll get to see it.

Hackett Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Ellis is a great shout for the Bears - former Eagle knows his way around Arlington. The hole Wood leaves at no.2 is huge - r/r the reserve pairing is not strong enough to cover his rides - his rides were worth 4+1 and most of those were gifted. Eagles will need to keep it within 8 points for any chance ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janice Jackson Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Car Parking We will have additional parking available at the Iron Works MX for Fridays KO Cup Semi-Final against Eastbourne. The entrance is situated within our existing car park and can accommodate over 200 vehicles. This will involve a short walk back down to the Media Prima Arena. This has been organised as there is a major event taking place this weekend at Teesside Karting. We ask that anybody parking within the MX car park is respectful of our neighbours; please do not enter the MX track or leave litter behind. Cars must vacate the MX car park no later than 10.30pm and can return to the Speedway car park if people wish to remain behind in the bar.

You're a Berwick fan so it shouldn't affect you. Sounds like more space is available than normal so that's a good thing isn't it? Doubt the current promotion will want to return to Thursday's with a reported increase in yougsters attending on Fridays meaning takings are up , especially in the bar! But it's all speculation till the Mafia decide their next cunning move to save speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that Redcar's crowds haven't change with the swap, infact I'd guess they are up, but that could be down to the better league position.
