I know he lacked some serious confidence last year and never looked like passing anyone and didn't look comfortable on the bends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcar's reserves done their job tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea unfortunately our reserves are the week link, got to give them time, but the big question is how much time, but bigger question who maybe available to replace one of them? Imo Celina is on the pace if only she could gate better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shame that King and Tate picked up injuries. Hopefully they won't be out for too long. Tate went down in first heat off camera so don't know what happened But Danny went down on his own and no obvious reason to fall I suspect he wasn't fit to race after his bad crash at workington Looks to have done more damage by coming back too early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTD26 Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 (edited) All joking aside, like has already been said, we can’t be carrying a 1-5 rider and 2 reserves. I know this season is just about establishing ourselves back in the championship but I just don’t think Sam is quite ready for this league. You look at the form of Jack smith and think an opportunity has been missed there. Once his temp stint at Scunthorpe is over he’ll be snapped up rapid, probably by Glasgow. Onwards and upwards, can’t win them all, but how much time is going to be given before a change. Edited April 27 by CTD26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Ace breaking his wrist last night Jack Smith would be the obvious replacement, what happens with the Complin hearing will decide who he replaces .

Maybe get you an extra point per match, but find a 4.00 rider who can keep their average, that'd be a bigger improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Roynon on 3.5 surely he should at least beat the 2pt reserves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith is only guesting for Scunthorpe, could sign for a team now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously weren't watching as Danny went in too hot trying to go round the boards on a greasy surface and lost the back end so slid off. At the same time Tate had too much grip on the exit and lifted , crashing on the straight. Try watching the racing or even understanding what its like riding a speedway bike.

A.N.Other Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 As a separate issue, I and may other Comets fans saw something distinctly odd happening during track grading and watering at Redcar. The tractor and the grader were often travelling in opposite directions during preparation. ie they were travelling TOWARDS each other ! I was told that this is against BSPA rules. As it appears some time ago an accident occurred at another track where the tractors collided with each other, causing injury. Since then, I AM TOLD a rule was introduced to stop this, and both vehicles had to travel the same way at all times. Is anyone up to speed on detailed rules regarding track prep and can they confirm an offence has taken place, or is this method still allowed ? Incidentally, Steve Lawson remarked that he too thought it was odd, and he has rarely seen tractors travelling in conflicting directions ! I have no idea if what I was told, IS correct, but maybe someone out here can confirm or deny it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came out for his second rude but came off again and was withdrawn. Don’t think it’s anything too serious hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
