Just a thought regarding Gilkes for Riss?I know the argument would be,it’s just a challenge,a run out,but Redcar need to get off to a good start this season after the last couple of seasons and give the fans some hope.Is it because, as a friend said Riss hasn’t rode a match for us yet, so it’s a reduced facility? My counter being,he rode in,got injured in,and won representing Redcar in a BSPA event.So surely not?But this is speedway after all!! If this is not the case,would of expected a much better guest, given Gilkes poor performance for us last season.

Do these clowns actually believe that this is want supporters want?Fixtures are a joke.

Don’t do social media, nothing on website.

Good team, pity the announcement was only a low key affair,only for the privileged inner circle, club needs to realise, it’s not just about them!!When the rest of Bears fans going to find out? Next weeks Speedway Star?I got a txt! Lucky me.

That row of flags is a red herring!!Most of the team will be English so no more than 2/3 nationalities.

Think what appears to be a delay in the Glasgow team reveal possibly, a few alternative options are now available?At the reserve positions!

Who are we talking about???I replied to a post about Danny King!!

Hasn’t been great for Redcar

The argument about moving off race night doesn’t wash with me! A repeat of the fiasco of last season may well be the final nail,they haven’t got a clue or don’t care what the fans want. As a business model, it’s a joke.

So, judging by the Redcar advance season ticket info in the Speedway Star, looks like Home and Away once and meaningless Trophy again?Not going to drag me back so it’s a No from me after 50 years!!!

Yes,Gilkes never got near to scoring that many for Redcar????

Sorry for going off topic but Redcar is Middlesbrough!!Can anyone shed any light on what happened last night at the NDL match?As to why Mulford didn’t appear in heat13 and 15 effectively gifting Edinburgh the match and Middlesbrough the wooden spoon?

Only Wright,and possibly Edward’s and Mulford.The rest, no thanks

Remember the Wimbledon finals years ago, never a rider pulled out, just a joke now. Geordie Gavin Parr says you will be mad to not go?But he’s not paying £32 pounds+programme for me and kids to get in!! It’s a no from me!

Yes I agree, most of his big scores are away.His relaxed armchair style doesn’t work at Redcar, maybe a year away on loan??If so, going to need a complete new team next year.Need a team planner who knows what they are doing!!

Probably a 18/20 point win for Oxford,which will be more than enough to win the tie,can see them winning the second leg as well.Will put the lid on a really poor season for the Bears, started really badly and never got going. Would only keep Wright, Edwards and maybe Mulford for 2025.

If Redcar win today,taking 3 points,we are also well in the mix.Glasgow lads won’t know if to stick or twist

So with Workington,Redcar and Glasgow potentially vying for the final 4th place playoff spot we have 3 Glasgow riders guesting in a Workington v Redcar match.Only in speedway!!!

So, yet another nail in the coffin for my dwindling enthusiasm for this joke sport.Workington have raced 15 of their original scheduled 20 matches or 75%?yet are allowed to make a team change.Yet when Redcar lost a rider(Bailey)due to withdrawal we aren’t allowed to sign anyone even though at the time we had raced the same amount.Now if Workington’s qualifying for the semi of BSN counts in their allowance,that’s a hidden bonus for them?even though those matches should have taken place ages ago.Also this 75% rule might shed some light on why some teams are holding back fixtures to give themselves more time to make possible rider changes.This is not a dig at Workington,just me being disgruntled with the sport after 52 years

I’m a bears fan, and much as I am disappointed we lost, the best team won because they have the ruthless winning mentality,Redcar are too nice, but let’s not kid ourselves, Poole are masters of the dark arts,Foord was declared fit to race in heat 2 rerun until someone had a word in his ear, and how can you declare a tac sub in heat 11 and then just change your mind.!! But teams like Poole,Scunthorpe,Glasgow do this while the meek are left behind.

Really funny how these clowns from Poole don’t even know the basic rules!!! Probably because they are so far up their own rrr se

Massive boost for Poole,Foord withdrawn. His rides now taken by Hagen!!

Just forget the coffee, on a scorching day like today a nice cold beer is the way.Bears Bar at 7!!

At the risk of repeating myself, the Redcar vPoole fixture which is what the thread is about!! is on this date as originally set at start of season, not rearranged.This is the match I’m talking about
