Well I wasn’t at the social event, but it was posted on the Bears facebook page pretty much as soon as it was announced and I posted it on here soon after. So a bit unfair to say it was only the privileged inner circle.

Confirmed as the team. Think most Bears fans will be happy with that.

I won’t feel bad with some of my cultural references now seeing as though Frank Spencer last appeared on our TV 46 years ago! If Edwards and Mulford can kick on it’s a decent team, but reserves look weak. However given the top 3 that was always going to be the case. If that’s the team of course.

Looks like a good line up to me. Doubt we will see many better looking (on paper) teams at the start of the season. Glasgow and Poole should be fighting it out at the top.

As usual the Bears full 1-7 will be announced at the Xmas party on 7th December.

Excellent meeting I thought watching the stream and congratulations to Josh Pickering, fully deserved winner, the sort of rider people want to watch.

Troy Batchelor.

Well you can at all Redcar meetings so assume it’s no different.

Edwards more likely to be Bears captain than leave in my opinion. Would be daft to get rid of him in my opinion and don’t see it happening.

Congratulations to Oxford. Those who predicted the changes would affect their chances either haven’t seen the Bears ride much this season or Boughen ride at Redcar. It was all downhill after Masters was somehow allowed in the re-run of Heat 1 after sliding off and taking Wright out and then Wright messing up bend 3 on lap 4 and dropping points. Oxford far too good for the Bears who surrendered without much of a fight. Don’t let the draw fool you in thinking this was close. Boughen superb, fair play young fella, hell of a future if he keeps progressing. Redcar must be his favourite track so if he wants to keep progressing he should consider a move north…. Watched on the stream and wish I hadn’t bothered tbh.

There’s always one! (I mean him and not you btw)

Track, graphics, entertainment and commentary all of similar level so far. It’s not a high level either.

Pleased for Redcar obviously but not a great way to end the meeting. Really difficult decision for the ref, could have gone either way.

Always better to use R/R at the birth, rather than at the conception.

Why is Cook not riding?
