He's now Redcar's guest for their home leg - his average is too high for Leicester to use as a guest

To be honest, I didn't expect it to be otherwise We do tend to get the "marmite " trait of opinion at times

Just so I understand you correctly, was that a compliment to Redcar's travelling support or a dig at them actually creating a bit of atmosphere?

Correct. As far as I'm aware Redcars' management already knew that they couldn't switch the guest facility from Wright to Toft and had to use r/r for Toft .

Couldn't agree more. The Eagles fans were fair and magnanimous in defeat. I thought it was a very good turnout of Redcar fans, given the distance involved and the fact that we had another away day today at Scunny. to round it all off last night, it was a Bears fan who won the £100 race day programme

Good choice of guest for Charles Wright - Jake Allen scored 13+1 from 5 rides when he rode for Scunny at Redcar earlier in the season

- severe!

Care to comment on the recent news that Plymouth have "released" Mr Wallinger? Have you managed to get a replacement ( course you have, in fact you have 2 new riders!) are your crowds and revenue going to suffer? As Redcar didn't get "our man" as you put it, what's you take on this news, apparently, Wallinger was finding the journey difficult - just a pity its a day after the transfer deadline for the championship, putting him out of a job

It won't change, Bears have confirmed that Woolley will be in the team until the end of the season

There's a couple of discerning posts on the Plymouth forum especially from their promoter Mark Phillips "I do not know if brian has told you already but Redcar has just rung me and they have signed DAVID Wallinger for their championship team . They race on fridays ! Gutted is an understatement ! That is one of the problems of being in the National league." I'd add the website link but I'm crap at that sort of thing, give it a try anyway! http://plymouthdevils.proboards.com/thread/9983/major-blow-plymouth

Grow up man! As Boothers has already pointed out, Wallinger is 5th in your averages, hardly setting the place alight and certainly not enough to stop your supporters from turning up once he's gone. There are riders out there if you're prepared to go looking for them. To suggest that the Bears will be responsible if you club isn't running next season, well, how many millions of times have I told you not to exaggerate!

Mike0310: I second what Norfolk Bear said, whatever you may feel about the Wallinger situation, what happened between Redcar and BB has no comparison whatsoever - like NB said , Redcar went above and beyond to help him

Good points made there - imagine how I feel, being the person who chose him as our rider of the night and presented him with a bottle of bubbly! Keep me away from the voting panel in future!

Well that makes me a bit of a jinx! I picked Ulrich as our rider of the night based on his return to form especially in his final 3 rides! Wish I'd known what was in store before I chatted with him on the centre green and said i hoped he 'd turned the corner ( pun intended!) and wished him more great performances for the Bears

At the track it's will have been one to one ( probably mates) conversation or a small group...slightly different to putting it out on a public forum. Mind you I think you already knew that and you're trying to stir it for some reason

Plenty of rumours at the track last Friday, all of a similar vein. Given that they seem to be related to personal rather than speedway issues I don't think they can be aired on a public forum

Good result for The Bears tonight, especially as, according to Garry May, we look vunerable at home!

Might help if you bothered to tell us what you're on about

Suggest you do more research on that inaccurate statement - Middlesbrough sits 25th in the UK ( & Gibraltar) league table with a score of 11, just one point ahead of Newcastle - strange old world eh!

Weaker league due to the 38 points limit, coupled with moving to Friday night racing...can't see our attendances staying at last season's levels never mind increasing. You could argue that admission prices should be lowered in line with the reduction in the points limit for a squad - it will take some master-plan and tactical negotiating to get a squad together that is even to last year's standard.

Not bad right now here in Thornaby but Met office have issued a yellow warning for high winds as from 6pm tonight , right through to Friday and rain expected from 4pm onwards right through the night. Quite understandable why the early decision to call the meeting off was taken

"Teesside Silver Helmet at Redcar has now been postponed until Thursday 27th Sept due to horrendous weather forecast .We apologise for any inconvenience . Taken from Redcar Bears website

Still can't understand why we couldn't have this fixture on Thursday , our normal home night...not as if Sheffield had a meeting

100% eh!

Plus BB possibly
