Please do name them as I’m thinking there’s only 1 who is saying the right things .

As I’m assuming all the 2026 riders will be present at the end of season event , it would make sense that the signings will be present, if they were NEW signings then the names would be on the internet immediately they turned up at the bar so…. Wright , Pijper & Southwick …..is my 20 pence worth . Im thinking Mulford will also be back. Scott could end up back with Oxford or anywhere as he will be in big demand. Edwards to Workington or Oxford. Allen….not sure but could also be Workington. Lambert to Berwick. I’ll also be collecting my winnings on George English being the new co-promoter.

As one who was actually there , It wasn’t a good advert for the sport. The stadium looks unloved and the club needs a new wave of enthusiasm but I know personally that volunteers/staff have walked away due to clashes with the grumpy owners. Running such a meeting on a cold damp night with a ‘guest’ track man wasn't a great idea in hindsight but at least they tried.

so just a confirmation then 😄.

Ask the now ex promoter, he will have had his reasons.

Your recollection is wrong , Terry the Track was not responsible for the Coventry incident although it was a guy with a Polish surname. He did win Redcar track of the year in 2017 & 2018 and is currently the SCB track inspector with Jonathan Swales.

So why say they should sell to him ?🤷‍♂️ Jonathan left because he was another one to fall out with the brothers , like a few before him, but it was interesting to see Terry the Track there on Saturday, is he being tempted back ?

As riders and clubs need to know the structure of UK speedway, points limit , number in a side, how many fixtures etc so they can make their own decisions on who to sign , who to sign for etc , then it is VERY IMPORTANT to those involved within the sport. Foreign clubs are already announcing riders signed for 2027 why does the UK always have to be last !

They will need to discuss the new Polish league rider requirements, the rumoured ‘demand’ for an 8 team Premiership , with a doubt over Sheffield and a possible Eastbourne return . The supposed doing away with the NDL ( 😢 ) and then place what’s left in a championship that can be decided by a referees announcement it seems 🤷‍♂️.

As it’s not for sale so that can’t happen and I understand that the current owners would never ever sell to Mr. Rathbone. The track man has left so you have your wish there , both Terry the Track and Jonathan Swales were in the pits but I don’t see any change in management as Jamie Swales will still have a say in matters but the delay in naming the new co promoter ( my 50p is still on George ) is a little baffling.

The meeting just about summed up the Redcar season, promised much but disappointed. The ‘guest track curator ‘ got the track wrong, too much loose stuff resulting in Doyle not lasting one bend. Track blading required meaning delays on a cold damp night and not much overtaking to talk about. Not very entertaining. Swales got his good crowd but a few drifted away, surprised to see Charles Wright in the crowd . Thought young Southwick was the surprise rider, Lawson should have been the winner but thats the result of second chance finals and Kemp took it. Heres to a Redcar revamp in 2027.

but hasn’t been since 2017!

Dirt defector has happened, not picked up by pit staff until after the race so the result stood.

I remember our former promoter , K. Kay , running our junior teams but he lost heart when Neil Vatcher started to interfere. The juniors , the Cubs , have struggled to put a side out all this season and I’m told Seb Kelly is the only one still using a 125. Seems speedway at every level is on a steep decline.

Seems very strange as Godfrey has a position in all three parties….promoter of Scunthorpe, BSPL chairman and their liaison officer with the SCB ! On that basis alone why did they put in a protest ? You think Vatcher or someone in the SCB office ( is there anyone else ? ) would have advised him it was a waste of time thus making this press release even more absurd.
