Apologies if incorrect. 12 hours ago, Fortythirtyeight said: Points noted but…. there wasn’t an interval ! 11 hours ago, Fortythirtyeight said: No there wasn’t ! there was a track grade, nothing more. 2 hours ago, soupy said: Well the announcer said over the mike there would be a short interval unless I am going deaf.I had the score 60-30 so not far out.I noticed in the list of fixtures it had Stuart Robson’s testimonial down as A =away.I enjoyed the night and knew the bears would be a tough nut to crack but also nice to see a healthy crowd. There appears to be some confusion!!! Anyway, either way, it didn't really add too much to the misery of the "disappointing" performance from ourselves on track. Incidentally, I haven't commented on the Roynon/Wilson-Dean incident as I genuinely didn't see it as I was filling in my programme at the time.

I didn't see it because I wasn't there but there should be consequences if it was as bad as they say, although I would hate to pile misery on the Diamonds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only breaks in proceedings were for track work and when riders had two on the trot. Redcar have a policy of no intervals after listening to what fans wanted last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the Diamonds is a big enough pain in the ass . Sorry couldn't resist but really glad to hear in all seriousness that the Redcar promotion have listened to the fans in this respect. One of the reason's I lost interest. Takes all the momentum from a meeting. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No intervals + when it says tapes up at 7.30 or whatever time the meeting starts riders should be at the tapes & ready no 5 or so minutes after 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having this means kids bug their parents to go and there are far more youngsters at ashfield regularly than I've seen at any other track. And while I have my issues with it and can extend the meeting beyond 2 hours often, the long term goal is to get kids interested and more people through the gates so you stomach it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it works very at Glasgow as the promotion there have persisted with ( hats off to them )for having the weeins on the centre green for a race against the Tigers mascot.. I remember Kevin keay at redcar doing interval entertainment a few years ago which also was good so maybe if there was entertainment at intervals It would be ok.. but like I said when it says tapes up at the proposed time it will be good to see all 4 riders at tapes ready to race Edited April 1, 2022 by Justgotmecpc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Races not starting to 7.45 or even later when everyone can see the weather closing in is my biggest peeve with it these days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
