Your assuming the ‘better’ riders in the Championship actually ride for points money these days as I’m led to believe , despite the chairman’s claims that guarantee’s are banned, that more ‘top’ riders are on them now than last year. From the riders I assist they tell me most heat leaders in the championship are on some form of guarantee, wether that be fully or partially and our imports have to be due to the stipulation on their visas. Don't most of our championship riders ride in the Polish 2nd tier? So does the rule affect them ? Ill believe a TV deal when I see it .

You seem to not understand ‘ ex riders ‘, they are ‘ex’ because they have had enough of restrictive rules , every increasing costs and less and less chances to ride. The NDL is struggling and probably won’t complete its fixtures with rumour having it the chair ( bless him ) wants it done away with. A few years back the NJL ran an individual series at all the competing tracks, the NJL riders championship, perhaps that is the way forward .

Digital programme ! Have you seen the average age of a speedway fan ?

Since when has speedway taken roadworks, or even the fans, into consideration ?

On average only 50% of the crowd buy a programme, this year less fans are travelling because of fuel prices and idiotic arrangement of speedway fixtures. Clubs don’t want to be left with unsold programmes.

Or the fact there isn’t enough females racing in this country to fill a team, or in this case, a race !

Decent enough meeting on an initially very wet track so gating all important early on. For once the Bears were reasonably consistent throughout with Klindt and Scott outstanding backed up by Edwards ( one spectacular round the fence overtake ) and Allen, even Lambert scored every ride. Glasgow looked too strong on paper but that’s not how matches are won , Harris a bit off, Kemp not reliable but Rowe was good. Thought Pedersen was good, when he gated, Battye could have been the match winner but for a silly last bend fall and an incompetent team manager under using him. Strange comments from the departing promoter J.Swales “ this could be the last meeting “……is he not confident at Berwick ! Bears need a reset for 2027 so is the rumoured new co-promoter, as Mrs Swales is staying in post, one of the many ex promoters who are at Redcar most weeks ?…..messers English, Duffill, Kay, Rathbone or even CVS ??? With there being already a co-promoter in sponsor K.Miller how does this all work ? Going to be an interesting winter for Bears fans.

Firstly…..is it on ? 4 pm and I need to set off at 5pm if its going ahead, any local weather update ?

Total speculation then.

Inconsistent Bears are blowing it again, Bandits top end seeing them home.

You really need to read a fixture list, Redcar aren’t at home for another week

Article in the S/Star suggests it will take 5 to 10 years and half a million pounds to get the stadium up and running again 🫨 Wow!

Did 3 leagues last season but according to the article in S/S that left him too tired and with a young son , and no doubt being owed money by Oxford , he settled on 2 clubs this season Landshut have got to the Polish play offs without him so they have ‘ loaned ‘ him out for the play offs ( relegation ) in the top league.

You’re obviously not a Bears fan.

Lost count of how many times the Bears have looked comfortable for a win only to collapse towards the end. Allen, Edwards, Mulford just too inconsistent and Lambert a total non contributor again. Scott has to be ‘ Bear of the year ‘ and Pijper has had a good season, keep them and Wright but move the others on for 2027.
