Redcar Bears Vs Poole Pirates Championship 16th June


Recommended Posts

First ever visit to Redcar last night. Fantastic track and fans, very welcoming. Good meeting. Only question I had was heat 14 not having Kyle in for Adam. Kyles previous ride showed he was on the pace and got the set up. Thank fully though Adam took the 1 point. Prep probably not great for Adam who arrived at the track a lot later than the rest of the team who were already out on the track walk.

Great win for the pirates. Special mention to Lawson who was brilliant all night.

Great win for the  pirates 

 

I'm not sure wot u technically call this?

Officially a draw with a an away draw win or just a win? 

Either way we got 2 points so I'm not bothered! :D

Total blockbuster of a meeting where both teams traded blow after blow....it was like something out of a rocky movie at times lol

Some of the racing was brutal and not for the faint of hearts. 

After calming down (I'm a redcar fan) I saw heat 15 as charles tried to shut the door on stevie knowing he couldn't get to lawson and as somebody said maybe looked for the off....

It worked anyway and we got lucky and the ref seen it as Worrall at fault...could have gone either way.

Charles sensational for the bears with danyon hume having a rock solid meeting at number two and jake mulford riding the wheels off his bike in every race....Danny King had a absolute shocker of a meeting with two heat wins, three lasts and a tapes exclusion. Erik clearly nowhere near fit and struggling.

For Poole lawson was outstanding backed up by Worrall and Ben Cook. Zack Cook and Kyle Newman battling for every point....

Still don't know how we lost that...

Superb speedway meeting tho !!!

Hmm, wonder why that is? :blink: Ironically if Redcar had a guest they probably would have won.

Oh well. 

Probably?, but last time they had Kerr as a guest and we won 52-38 ..........so probably not! :D

Erik on his Facebook today blaming his bikes, not his illness, for the performance. 
 

“A terrible night for myself, I was giving it everything out on track but simply couldn’t get out of the starts and struggled to find any speed in my bike tonight.

Sorry to the Redcar promotion and the fans for my performance.”

Certainly no need to apologise.

Ht 15 was an interesting one, a wide divergence of views on who should have been excluded, and not split across partisan lines. It probably depended on where you viewed it from.

Either way it was a cracking match and that twist made it one of the best league matches I've seen in years - can't see the play-offs providing that much excitement.

Redcar already topped my chart of favourite places to visit in British speedway, and is in no danger of being deposed.

PS Good to hear Roy Clark is on the mend

Just watched the stream helluva meeting. Super heat was nearly as good as heat 13 at ashfield last night!!

On the Wright/ worrall situation, bit stupid of Stevie getting involved imo, pretty obvious what Charles was doing just sit there and take the 4-2 win the meeting.

Redcar and Glasgow are definitely both the best racetracks and most welcoming in the CL. 

I've never really got Scunny to be honest, it can produce good racing but suits out and out track specialists in my opinion. Evidence Simon Lambert.

Kerr got 7 last time and Erik got 5 last night. So going on that Redcar would have won. However we don't know if he would have got the same again, although I would be surprised if he got less than 7 at Redcar.

Nice when they apologise though as shows they care about the club and their fans. I bet Mike wishes the Plymouth riders would apologise!

Speedway definitely the winner last night, overtaking from heat 1to 16. Richard Lawson the biggest difference last night in my opinion. Just went about his business, no drama, never out of control just so under the radar when everyone else seemed so frantic.

Agree.Don’t know what is wrong with Danny King brilliant to poor in race after race at home.

True, especially as Redcar still get a point for their part played in this epic.

Someone posted before the meeting that they couldn't get up for a meeting where both teams seem destined for the play offs.

Maybe that person will now review that opinion if they have witnessed the drama played out before us.

Just to add, if I dare, Erik Riss certainly didn't look right but only he will know.

I stand by that comment, as a neutral the match result, even the "stupid heat" meant very little. Had there not been play-offs it would've been the most important heat of the season (so far).

Now I'm sure Redcar & Poole fans cared about the result, myself find Berwick vs Oxford tonight more interesting.

As for the racing anyone there of course would want to see a superb match.

If you are going to go to a speedway meeting "as a neutral", then the result is never going to matter!  Now Newcastle has gone, I'm a neutral wherever I go (mainly Redcar as I find Berwick mightily boring) and don't really care about the result and hope I'm going to see a decent meeting.  Last night provided that.

We didn't lose (although it felt like it) we drew and Poole got the extra point. It was a great meeting, with both sides battling hard. But to battle hard, they had to have a good track to ride, Well done to Johnny and his team for producing an outstanding track despite the weather conditions.

Loved his cutback in heat 13
