Biffa Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 All fans please be aware that the A66 east bound is closed at Cannon Park heading towards Middlesbrough Centre at the weekend. I presume diversions will be in place. Also Middlesbrough Mela festival is taking place in the town centre this weekend. And finally don’t forget that the Great North Run is taking place in Newcastle on Sunday for anybody coming that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biffa Posted September 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 It doesn’t say, but can only be Basso or Harris. It was put on TikTok and one of my boys showed me it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yearbyred Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 Think those changes have more of an impact on Redcar than Glasgow, but can’t blame Charles for taking the Polish offer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a load of tosh! Taking up the offer to ride in Poland for a club he's never represented before! He should be riding for Redcar on Sunday. Lost all respect for Redcar and Wright! Joke sport! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sick of comments like this, this forum and things like 'Speedway Friends' on FB are full of them, constantly driving negativity based on uneducated comments. If you actually sat back and understood how things like this work, maybe you'd learn a thing or two. Wroclaw signed Charles about 4 weeks ago as squad cover for the play offs. Redcar will have been well aware this scenario could happen All licensed speedway authorities adhere to the FIM international speedway calendar. Poland have priority over GB on Sundays, especially that Redcar-Glasgow is a re-arranged fixture. Simple as that! Incredible opportunity for Charles to ride in front of a full Olympic stadium on the biggest stage of the sport. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does GB bend over backwards to Poland, he is a British rider? It's because of people with your attitude the sport is on its knees in this country!!!!!!!!!!! Wasn't the Redcar v Glasgow fixture rescheduled over 4 weeks ago? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a response, can always rely on this forum for a good laugh I must apologise that I'm responsible for the sport being on it's knees in this country. Being a British rider or when the fixture was resheduled has zero relevance to the FIM calendar You know this collaborative effort between the British, Polish, Swedish, Danish orgs. which has been around for like ever. It's not all made up as you go along, as some people will have you believe! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not all made up as you go along, as some people will have you believe! I wonder what willl happen if the Wroclaw meeting doesnt take place and gets rescheduled for another night Redcar, or Belle Vue, are racing? The collaboration effort between Poland and GB looks like Poland saying, "We will do what we went, when we want, and for your compliance we will let you have some of our riders who either don't have the GP's to race in, or have finished their seasons and we don't need then anymore". Best of luck to Charles but whichever way you make it sound, it does just add another devaluation of the competitions over here doesnt he? As, if they were important, then this simply wouldn't happen... Hope he has a great play offs in all leagues but the one in Poland will clearly need to be his priority given the stakes involved... It will be a great experience for him hopefully and a shop window to put himself in for further opportunity in any of the leagues... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MartinBSN Posted September 8, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 Charles Wright has given everything for Redcar for many years. Been on the lower end of wages despite being one of the top riders in the league. Turned down numerous approaches for much more money from other clubs. Hes now been given a once in a lifetime (especially at his age) opportunity to ride in the top league in the world and has to miss a match that ultimately means nothing for Redcar. Playoffs are confirmed and league position now means nothing. Give the guy a break! 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kedavra Posted September 8, 2023 Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 Like it or not, cracking the Ekstraliga is the holy grail of speedway. How you could deny someone the opportunity to just do that for the sake of a British second league dead rubber is beyond me. I'm a massive Redcar fan but have a high interest in Polish speedway and watch most meetings on a weekend, if he performs well he could link up with a Polish team that could change his life financially. You'd have to be insane to deny someone that chance. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
