Redcar might be a little upset as he should be riding for them at home to Poole !!

Rode in 32 meetings that year for us and averaged 4.93 (139+25 from 133 rides).

Yeah, he only scored 10 from 4 rides tonight and had an "EF/R" in his last ride....... !!

Not guilty m'lud !!!

As a sidenote, Redcar have five "J" first names riders in their 1-7 !!

Meeting OFF

And, presumably, school work on top of all that ?

Spot on. "There's a shortage of riders" - why? - Because we have seven man teams - again, why? That's just one example of the promoters sticking their heads in the sand and pretending the sport (for God knows how long) is working perfectly OK. It's dying on it's posterior and has been for long enough now. What really annoys me is, when it dies, it'll be "the fans fault", because they stopped attending, rather than the promoters fault for not trying to do something about it.

IF the promoters aren't taking the sport seriously, then why should the fans bother turning up at all ?? Teams signing riders who they know will miss meetings sums the sport up. It's basically Mickey Mouse. No wonder the TV companies have washed their hands of it.

The only problem I see with that idea is, it's not giving all the sides riders some "semi-competitive" rides. Each team would have to have two riders sitting out each "round". Other than that it's a cracking idea.

Steve Worrall retired (as far as I know) - Richie Worrall still banned (as far as I know).

He's also getting track time at Redcar tomorrow night (Fri 20 Mar) as he represents the Diamonds Select side in the Tyne/Tees Trophy meeting.

Thanks for clearing that up (as it were !!) Kevin.
