Sorry for the tangent Redcar fans...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffo Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 Meeting called off today with all the riders and quite a few fans in the stadium. Hearing the riders refused to ride the track in some quarters and some where saying the ref had called it off.... Feel for Stuart Robson and all the riders and fans who had travelled over today. Very late call off for most people !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moranboys Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 Again,a farce in the first meeting of the season.if the track was unfit then why wasn't this called off a lot earlier? In these testing times surely another waste of supporters money,wasted trip and wasted time and if the track only became unrideable late on then apologies for this post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topaz325 Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 Just watched a short video interview of Robbo saying the track was not fit to race the track had work carried out yesterday but overnight rain ruined it, yes an earlier call off might have helped...I traveled over from Cumbria with my nephew and arrived at the gate only to be told it was off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like stupid fans making stupid statements without knowing what actually happened. The track was deemed on early Saturday to getting better and likely to go ahead on the Sunday. Unfortunately there was a sudden downpour in the afternoon and evening which went straight into the track. Work started early on Sunday to remedy the problem but with massive efforts from track staff and volunteers vans, they couldn't get the track to harden up and therefore safe to ride on. All agreed with that decision, riders, track staff, referees and the public. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The riders were never going to ride it, and Stuart, referees and the trackstaff agreed they would not be able to make it fit to ride as it would have been unsafe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid comments from yourself.Fans seem to know better than Promotions in recent seasons given what I’ve witnessed first hand.I applaud the track staff efforts but surely history tells them not to bother if things are not perfect nowadays.I sure it was the right decision but They could have saved themselves a lot of hard work.No consideration for travelling fans. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No! No! No! The opinions of those within the "inner sanctum" are always right... And the opinions of those who only pay to watch the sport (and therefore keep it going), are always invariably wrong... Thought someone who has been on here so long like you have mate would have grasped this by now.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rearingtogo Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 A speedway rider from Redcar would often ride below par he eventually got it right to the supporters delight and now he is a true star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
