cheers for that happy harry 👍

You seem confused about the source of your news.  The Belle Vue press release (from press officer Hayley Bromley) regarding Mulford said nothing about his Championship team  See here  https://www.bellevue-speedway.com/blog/latest-news-2/2025-rising-star-revealed-355.  That was 18 October and there has been no release from Belle Vue since.  (If they can be accused of anything, it's a lack of any press info from the club). The subject of your anger should to be the Speedway Star journalist (Keith McGhee, I guess?) who seems to have leaked the Redcar news in an ainterview with Mulford in Speedway Star.   (The authors of the articles are listed at the top of the page, but they don't say which person wrote which article on the page.  However McGhee seems to be the only Northern one, so I guess it's him as he's North Yorkshire based).

Belle Vue (the club not the fan base) strike me as a club who couldn't give a rubbishe about other clubs, only themselves, and look down their nose at other clubs, particularly ones not in the Premiership... we're just the common folk and they're the royalty... 🙄 something real dodgy about them imo.

His average will go down if he's at #1 rather than #4. Why would there be more pressure on him in a team that clearly won't compete, than in a team which expects to win the league? That septet will endure humiliation away from Saddlebow road almost every fixture.

I don’t usually spend £15 a night on food and drink though… But as I’ve already said, take the food and drink out of the equation, why should I waste 20 odd quid on a ticket and petrol on a 100 mile round trip if we had a team that clearly wasn’t capable of getting top 4 from the start and being 2-3 points under the limit?… to be capable of getting into the top 4 we need a team that is no worse than Cook Iversen Kvech Klindt Lawson Harris Boughen!! It’s as simple as that
