Whilst its more than about time if its Ully replacing its hardly an upgrade. They both have their engines maintained by Westwood.

Apparently Ulrich is too expensive. Things don't look great if the rumours are true that the security staff were apparently told last night that they weren't getting paid no more but could work voluntarily. Anyone else hear this? Don't know how true it is.

That’s the problem in the Championship, majority of riders are to expensive for the crowd levels the Championship.

Yeah. Going to work for nothing!!? I don't think so. Speedway on a shoestring. Riders are shooting themselves in the foot. It's a catch 22 situation. Riders cannot afford to ride. Promoters don't have the funds to pay them.

I thought it was a private security firm anyway.

But i suppose it will never get any better as there are still far to many freebies going through the pit gate on race days.. 

But how do they get in, is there not a pass system, or list of away team/people that should be there ?

It's just the usual throwaway line. There was a purge last year and a lot of freebies stopped coming. it's not a problem now as long as riders, team and juniors,  play by the rules.

Ulrich must have lowered his demands. Lol

Fair play to the Management in making a change. I know Ulrich has been very disappointing this season he is still a very capable rider and he had his best meeting of the whole season just before Redcar threw him out. Hopefully he can hit the ground running for us. Max at reserve will get him plenty of points. Just need Thomas and Lasse back to get up to full strength.

...FFS, Victim of the numbers game and daddy's son, I mean fair play to the management for actually making a change that was needed... But Jacob rode so well, especially on Sunday night... Very disappointed to see him go... Already

Personally I'd put Ostergaard at 3 or 4, with Lasse and have Matty at 2 with Steve, Max at 7... Making our 1/2 partnership easily the strongest in the league and Heat 8 VERY strong

Wow!

Some of your fans slated Redcar for sacking Østergaard after a few matches and then you dump a rider after even less matches!

The wages you appear to have saved on staff have gone on " too expensive" Østergaard, so yet another ex Bear becomes a diamond.

He will do you a good job tho as he's still got plenty of points left in him.

Got to feel sorry for Bukhave getting the boot when there is a worse rider in the team.
