szkocjasid Posted September 8, 2023 Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 Can Redcar use their track twice in a week? Since the KOC S/F (& possibly final) plus play-offs need to be arranged, I'm surprised this date was allowed. Hopefully for Robbo's sake it isn't cancelled again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been very tough getting riders to confirm their availability at the moment with play-off fixtures, not just here but also abroad. I’m honoured Leon will appear for me again.” said Robbo Leon will be sponsored for the meeting by SAPPHIRE ENGINEERING, with his tyre sponsored by JOSEPH SHERIDAN and fuel sponsored by KEN MALCOLM Leon will wear the number 14 racejacket and this is available to sponsor by emailing robbosfarewell@hotmail.com Edited September 18, 2023 by Bear_Bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmauger Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Really (really) hope this meeting goes well for Robbo, a popular & whole-hearted trier in his too brief time of one season at Hull in 1997. Quick question: (apologies if posted I''m supposed toe be working) will the programmes be available before or after the meeting to buy via post, hope so....

We are delighted to announce that with the help and support of Redcar Speedway and the BSPA a new date for the Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting sponsored by RMCS RACING has been announced for Saturday 30th September with a 5pm start time. We had originally planned to run at the start of 2024, but after discussions have now agreed this new date. Plans will now start again for the event, and we will be hoping as many Speedway fans as possible will come out and support a true British Speedway star who has had rotten luck getting this event on. All current sponsors will be contacted next week. If anyone is interested in some advertising or sponsorship for the meeting, please drop us an email at Robbos Farewell@hotmail.com On 9/8/2023 at 11:53 PM, szkocjasid said: Can Redcar use their track twice in a week?

Janice Jackson Posted September 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 PROGRAMME SALES FOR NEXT SATURDAY So we have decided that for next Saturday we will just be producing a small 8 page insert for the meeting with the line-ups for the event. Over 2 previous runnings of the meeting, we have spent £2,000 on programmes and just felt the outlay is just too much this time around. On the day we will have 2 options £2 for the insert Or £5 which will be the insert, and a copy of each of the 2 programmes we have had produced before. They will be collectors items as the meeting didn’t take place! It’s a way of trying to claw back some of the original outlay too. We wanted to be up front with everyone and let you know the situation and the decision behind it. It is only right to do that. At this point too, we would like to thank a sponsor who has asked to remain unnamed, who has helped subsidise some of cost of the printing of the insert. We are very grateful to them for their kind donation If anyone would like to help with the rest of the printing outlay then please email robbosfarewell@hotmail.com and we will be happy to hear from you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellioth4 Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 CELINA LEIBMANN Hi all. It is with regret that we have been informed today that Celina is not eligible to ride in the meeting this Saturday due to new Brexit rules regarding Visas. In a call today the details were explained to us and it is obviously gutting for Celina, but also for us as we are now hunting for another rider to take part to fill the gap. Hopefully someone somewhere will sprinkle a little bit of good luck our way over the next 5 days……if anyone has any prayer mats could you send them our way please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a home track he couldn’t really get 2 tracks as opposite as Edinburgh and Berwick, but note that he has already won a race around the Ecco Arena already this season, so is a track he can go well at.” said Robbo Jacob is sponsored for the meeting by GRAVES PALLETS with his tyre sponsored IN MEMORY OF JOHN MORRIS and his fuel sponsored by SANDRA ROBERTSON BLACK Jacob will wear racejacket number 11 and this is now available to sponsor by emailing robbosfarewell@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerM22 Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 I hope there's a massive turnout on Saturday for Stuart, he has always been dedicated to British speedway and was nothing short of 100% entertainment. I have to say that it's a shame the lineup has turned out the way it has. The work of Stuart and all the trusty volunteers deserves better than a below average lineup in almost October. Is there any reason it couldn't be delayed until March/April again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellioth4 Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 BRITISH SPEEDWAY LEGEND HARRIS JOINS THE LINE-UP Yesterday we asked for a bit of good luck to be sprinkled our way, and this morning it came true! We are delighted to announce Chris 'Bomber' Harris has agreed to ride for us on Saturday, and not only that Cruz ‘Bomber’ Harris #37 will also make an appearance Bomber who is one of the most popular figures in the sport was in the line up throughout previous years events, but originally couldn’t ride this time around due to being in Poland. However last weekend things changed and Chris became free. After serious amounts of begging, this morning Chris confirmed his availability and will line-up for Robbo “It was last weekend when the new broke about Chris hanging up his GB Kevlars came out, and Martin made contact with Chris to enquire whether he would now be available. To be fair Chris has kept us up to date all the way through, and was waiting on the details of the Glasgow meeting that was due yesterday but was postponed. Once that meeting was confirmed as going ahead next Tuesday instead then a deal was struck and I’ll be honest it’s the best news we have had in a long time!.” Said Robbo “He is a legend of the sport, and someone I have ridden with, and to still see him perform the moves he does shows he still has time left in him. I’m really honoured to have Bomber in the line-up, and it will also be great to see Cruz too having seen his first few laps at Leicester the other week. This has given the meeting a real boost.” Chris will be sponsored for the meeting by the ROBBOS COVENTRY BEES FAN CLUB with his tyre sponsored by SANDRA ROBERTSON BLACK his fuel by EMMA AND NICOLE SWALES Chris will be wearing racejacket number 4 and this is already secured by the sponsor from the previous event amazing announcement will bring fans in and competitive rider.
