Norfolk Bear

This change had to be made, pity that Ellis is also injured . We really need Coty to fly on Thursday

Yes Ritchie would never do that to anyone ....

Bit of a whinge , for the first season fo many seasons we get a decent team together, Then injuries , when are we going to get an injury free run ?. Scunthorpe must feel the same !! Anyway looking forward to Thursday. UTB

It will be a top performance to keep them below 60

Doubt Busch will be fit before September, broken Ankle & torn ligaments

Broken bones are bad enough but 3 torn ligaments really compound it..

What about Danny Ayres. .?

I thought Berwick put up a great show at Redcar , Carr needs to be at reserve & Gappmeir needs to be kept there. Lee Payne is as poor with you as he was with us, Eheridge ?? Strange one, given a run could develop

Good meeting, some cracking clashes with Morris & Barker .. We really need to find another reserve. Mr Entertainment does not entertain the Bears fans !!

Perhaps you have not noticed we now have a new promotion & a proper track curator, Track is now every bit as good as when GT was there. I am afraid that Newcastle is the same as it has been since the Mauger years , a homer.

It always amuses me when Newcastle (with the worst track in the country) critisise what is now one of the best . Ok it was wet, happens when it rains..

I hope it is not Steve Worrall or his brother as both ride Redcar very well , how about Carl Wilkinson? ,!

Is Bridger riding on Thursday or is he in the semi final? If he is who is guesting ?

For the first time in years I expect Redcar to win on Thursday quite handsomely!! Be interesting to see if JG & BB can maintain their 5-1 run in heats 13 & 15 at home . & a warm welcome home to Gary Havelock UTB

Given that this is at Brough then I would expect all qualifiers to be current & ex Diamonds such is the home track advantage.

Great team performance from the Bears UTB

I don't believe that there are any more 'idiots ' at Redcar than anywhere else. All adds to the atmosphere. I bet Mr. Covatti has much wrong to say about Redcar fans...

Given that he rides at Kings Lynn every week where it is always deep I find his comments odd. Did any other Newcastle riders make comments ?

Despite the score I thought most of the Diamonds had a go Lambert - Dissapointing but could not get out of th gate Morris- I thought he put a couple of good rides in Rose - on the pace for the most part Lindgren - As usual at Redcar put a good performance in Worrall- Dissapointing I expected more Coles- tried Phillips- tried Redcar Garrity- Excellent Garcia - did his job Wright - Good solid performance Anderson- improving weekly Barker - An inspiration with his all out style Hall- must improve Perks- superb, one of the finds of the season I think we are very close at Redcar to having a play off side, not going to lose much at home .

Will be tight , we can win as long as Coty keeps his good run of form going . We also need Ellis to perform as he has been & for Mr.Entertainment to score a few . Interesting that Ellis is averaging a full point more for Rye House than Redcar. The big worry tonight is the track , we do not have the home advantage that Newcastle do.

Redcar reserves will prevent a close one , hope Ben has his bike fixed

Great victory, hope Nico is ok. After last weeks hiccup it now is appearing that Redcar really do have a good team . We may get a few slapping away from home (starting this weekend) but we are looking good at home , Big test next week against the jawdees but again the reserves will be the difference,. Garrity & Barker in 13 & 15 .= The days of Havelock & Greaves

Hume did ok last season

I hope so , at Scunthorpe he was so far behind I thought he was in the next Heat !! Should be a great match , we need our reserves and JBA performing.... UTB

Great win for Redcar with basically a 6 man team. Reserves did the business today as well as the brilliant Mr.G. Seems that Ben was doing a bit of winding up.
