Eight losses out of nine! A few 'knee jerks' up the rear might solve something! I expect they WILL make changes eventually but it'll all be too late.

Well he shouldn't be alone in that but as usual the gutless management will do nothing.

I wouldn't know about that but his form in Poland in recent times isn't exactly encouraging.

Sorry! You aren't allowed 'better options' even though they make total sense.

According to Ben Duffill he's keeping the team as it is. http://redcarbears.co/2018/05/05/apology-from-jitendra-duffill/

Can't do that now, you have to be attached to a club to get a visa.

Oh dear, I wonder what they made of that (65-25)?

As far as I'm aware he still hasn't got a place and he's far too good for that and undeserving of what has happened.

Also shameful of Keay putting that side together! I would keep Busch and sack the rest, you might as well sign anyone else going, that pile of garbage just doesn't work.

I would have thought Manzares to be one of the 'strongest reserves around,' while Stewart is currently averaging 2+

If you read my posts on today's topic, you will see that I'm broadly in support of Chris, you actually quoted something that I didn't say. I've been a supporter since the 1950s, also a mechanic and a sponsor, so I do have some understanding of the problems involved but people have a right to express their opinions and frustrations and as I said earlier, my opinion is that Chris would have been better saying nothing and letting it all be forgotten. Anyway the problems are now hopefully behind him and he'll be back to his best.

We also pay their wages and forums are for people to express their feelings, whether others agree or not. I think if Chris hadn't reacted as he did, the whole thing would have blown over. If (as he claims) his personal life is put to one side while racing, why does he keep bringing it up? Anyway, hopefully he'll be back on form and things are forgotten.

That struck me as soon as I read it. I don't know what was written on any other forums but you do have to be prepared to accept criticism, it's often a result of bitter disappointment from the sender. A few double figure scores from Chris would be widely welcomed I should think, otherwise he might need to don his tin hat!

Chris 'Bomber' Harris 1 hr · Disappointed about last night, I can’t remember having a night that bad for a long long time or a more slower start to the season. I’m sorry to the fans and my club Rye House for last night, the engine I would normally use for Leicester is currently being repaired so I had to use a different one but it was just too strong for the track & with 100% effort and trying everything we just couldn't get a set-up to work. It’s disappointing to see & read fans blaming the arrival of my daughter Amara-Mae and my winter wedding for the few meetings where I’ve had a bit of a slow start is just a joke and an insult. The last 6 months a lot has happened with wedding, moving house, and arrival of my daughter. My mum also told me a few days before Christmas that she had cancer and my grandad has been quite poorly, but when it comes to my job everything personal gets put to one side as it always has and I concentrate purely on my racing because at the end of the day it’s my job that I am paid to do, and a job that I love. I always turn up with 100% effort or more for anyone I ride for, so for me to not be scoring well disappoints myself more than anyone else. It has been a slow start to the season for many riders and not just myself, keyboard warriors should learn that an off meeting or two doesn’t mean a rider has lost the ability or talent to race, it generally means bike issues or riding with an injury! There have been so many rain offs and I have had a few issues with my bikes which I am not happy about, but the bike issues are being sorted and I am still in love with my racing. There a long season ahead yet and I’m looking forward to racing my bike and proving people wrong

I think the current Redcar team is an insult to the fans, the idea of any sporting league is that you try and compete for the top.

You get that way when you have a s**t team.

99% Of riders will never compare with Mark....Whatever the track.

You see riders safely three and four abreast entering the bends at Belle Vue, you'll never see that at Arena.

There is also the question of set-up, that often contributes to the 'trick' description. It's also down to what you like, personally I like Belle Vue and not much else these days.

I thought he meant his riders?

There shouldn't be any, two crap teams who are destined to contest the wooden spoon.

He'll need HIS Alan Sugar suit for that.

Haha! Muddlo will be for the headmaster's office, first thing in the morning.

Irrespective of Havelock, he still let down the paying public, there were other issues but I imagine you're equally aware of them.

You have to know the history and how he let the club down when he fell out with the promotion. A lot of the paying public wouldn't have had him back, that's why you get certain comments on various forums. Ellis Perks (British) rode brilliantly last year and he got dropped! I'd much rather have kept him than Kus, If you're going to have a team destined for the bottom end, then why not sign riders with prospects?
