I think the problem people have is the “ what we had” to “what we’ve got”. We have lost Danny King & Erik Riss and replaced them with Jake Allen & Jordan Jenkins, it’s just the initial optics tell you it’s not as good. Best analogy I can give is it’s like getting out of a Mercedes into a Skoda. Both equally capable of doing a good job but …

Didn’t say he was definitely giving it a miss, said it was unlikely to ride in GB in 2026. All down to interpretation 🤔, and maybe £££

Ok, will agree with what you call top riders, but if them few can be retained and added too maybe it could hold the door until 2027. Just a thought with a bit of vision thrown in. Also, as in all walks of life, it’s amazing what a bit of bull and a promise can to do to people. 🤔

If the Prem go with 5 teams in 2026 to keep the “top” riders here, there could be the chance that 2027 could have more teams in the Prem. Maybe running 1 season with 5 teams and “ taking it on the chin” with the “hope” of Peterborough, Northampton etc boosting the Prem in 2027 is worth the chance 🤷‍♂️

Biggest problem with this team will be inconsistency. Even this year the current Redcar team were up & down. Will always have a strong reserve, but as has been said heat 13&15 could be iffy. A lot of pressure on Charles each match. Very Oxford 2025 in the way it’s built, and they didn’t make the play offs etc. Font think this team will but will be very happy to be proved wrong 👍

I’m sure the silhouette is Adam Roynon 🤷‍♂️. Means nothing though🤔

Got to start with the reserves I think. Hopefully Pijper & Scott are signed for 2026.

Do Richard Lawson confirms he has signed a contract for a Danish club 🤔

The thing is Harry Redknapp has already got more publicity in the last month alone than probably all teams have all year. Talksport radio were even talking about on the afternoon as well, all because it was Harry Redknapp. One thing that came from radio was how it was first from the gate wins. A T20 comparison was made that speedway should jus run the first bends only 🙄

While talking of a possible rain off, Redcar/Middlesbrough already have a meeting on Friday night at home( Middlesbrough Tigers v Belle Vue Colts). I don’t know if this would cause any issues as only Ace is needed in both meetings, but not sure what promoters/managers would need to be at both tracks 🤷‍♂️

Out of interest regarding Zach/Anders, when they switched riding positions did one drop off & one go better? Just people saying about Anders not hitting double figures much, obviously heat 13 on outside gates is rough some time to score points from

The next important thing for Wednesday night at Poole is who guests for Redcar or will it be R/R 🤷‍♂️

Scunthorpe 😂

5-1 & 3-3=8points to 4 4-2 & 4-2=8points to 4 as all points were equal over the two legs they went to heat advantages. 2advantages to 1advantage. Simples 🤷‍♂️

Looking forward to Saturday, even if Jake was fit, mentally & physically, is he allowed to guest again Poole? Guest rules have become a bit confusing lately with 8 day rule & different competitions. Might not be what everyone wants to be thinking of at the moment but I’m sure the management are already on the case 👍

I’m surprised it’s a total of heat advantages that count and not higher heat advantages first. Glasgow had one 5-1 over 19 races, and for me they should have qualified on that race alone. The fact Redcar had more 4-2 wins seems a strange yardstick to go by. Rules are Rules though and maybe need tweaking. Good for us at Redcar but feel Glasgow were hard done by this.

Would just like to say that the 3rd person that is mentioned took themself to hospital after the meeting. All ok and released soon after. New trousers required, for the rips off the wheel, not what you’re all thinking 😂. Would also like to say a big thank you to Jo(Redcar) and a young lady from Glasgow for attending to the unfortunate gentleman who got hurt. They both gave excellent attention until the paramedics got there & helping the paramedics also. Also well done to all Redcar staff for clearing the area, cordoning off & generally doing what was required. Certainly shook me up seeing it happen, 🤞all is good for everyone.

Just as well it wasn’t Celina, don’t think the fallout would have been good if that’s what happened against Rushen 🙈

With it getting so late in the season, a Tigers match to fit in and possibly a BSN final🤷‍♂️, will there be a Silver Helmet meeting in 2025? Fully understand that there might be not enough riders available to make a decent line up.

Wonder if Jake Allen is on golfing duty again 🤷‍♂️. Is Nick Morris still ruled out with injury? I know it was a bad crash but no injury news seemed to follow.

Maybe, but it’s also about the variety of riders in the heats for me. The 6 rider team format is bad enough, but at least at international level you got 18 heats. 5 rider teams is only 14 heats I believe so lose,lose🤷‍♂️. Like I said though just my opinion.

As a Speedway fan that league set up has just lost one supporter. How much would you charge to watch that? It’s currently £10 to watch NDL for 7 riders, personally couldn’t justify anything more to watch that set up. Just my opinion 🤷‍♂️

I know we have a yellow weather warning for tomorrow, but it also said rain from Thursday and none arrived yet 🤷‍♂️

With Nick Morris having been down to guest on Sunday for Redcar v Poole, Workington v Berwick now have a rearranged match on Sunday afternoon. Have Redcar got a fresh guest in for Sunday or taking a gamble that Morris could still make it for the evening meeting 🤷‍♂️

The 10 day forecast for Middlesbrough doesn’t look great either. 🤞for Sunday
