    Looks like your a bit touchy and having a go at the wrong guy. Been to Leicester many times but not great for pure racing, such a disappointment for a purpose built track but at least they are making the most of the facility and its good they have NDL as well.

    and thats got nothing to do with this thread which is about Middlesbrough !

    Fare point but still think 3pm Saturdays are a poor choice.

    Disappointed and confused with the fixture list just released as all but one are to be held on a Saturday afternoon. Disappointed as I work Saturdays so will miss them. Confused as theres so many blank Friday nights why couldn't they be used ? Crowds were very good last season on Fridays and I dont see Saturdays attracting the same levels.

    So other than suggesting you know something the majority don't know ( good for you ), your suggesting Riss is no longer a Bear and Pijper is moving into the main body of the team ? which, if true, severely weakens the side.

    Then a pointless gesture as he would still be acting as a TM, as Havvy said, rules are easily broken, if you know how.

    Sign of the times as it looks like all teams are struggling to put a team together with Redcar having to name a rider on a 125 whos never even been in a race never mind a team ( but good luck to Seb ) . Disappointing to see Douglas still in the NJL after around 4 or 5 years hanging around the NDL but if he still wants to ride and nobody in the NDL/ NTL(?) wants to use him I suppose thats his only option.

    But did he remove him from the pits then ?

    A club can sign as many riders as it likes but can only field seven. A certain very northern club used to sign around 12, then find out the points limit , and slowly release the excess by telling them “ it’s a points thing “. That way they got the pick early on as other interested clubs got told by riders “I’ve already signed for someone else “ but were sworn to secrecy. Great tactic, till another , very southern club , copied it.

    As Havvy revealed in the S/Star…..there is a way around the rules , if you look hard enough ….’ Team Coach ‘ 😂

    So it needs a bit of planning but surely its not too much to ask to at least have home fixtures every fortnight ? That way you can cater for the other Friday night teams and fans get a regular race night and still fit the NDL fixtures in.

    Why would anybody involved in speedway be given a nationally recognised award for a sport thats been going down the toilet for years ? Whilst certain individuals have given their all within the sport, the likes of Woffinden , not only with 3 world titles but also his charity efforts , Harris, Nicholls etc, they get large financial rewards for it and , lets face it, no one outside of speedway has ever heard of any of them .

    Having seen the new fixture list it looks like home matches in May , June and July are as rare as Poole defeats ! Twenty plus days gaps between fixtures ? Hope they fill these with REGULAR FRIDAY Tigers fixtures or they will lose fans.

    Speedway GB is an independent business. The BSPL sold the ‘rights’ to it around 2018 as they needed to save costs so they will be self sufficient.

    So he was disappointed a rider changed his mind and then he lets a rider go who he had told had a team place ? if true, it works both ways….
