REDCAR 2019


Recommended Posts

Once again many thanks & congratulations to Jitendra for the team changes , if this had not happened our season would now be over ,as it is we are pushing for the playoffs and the KO Cup. 

  Great triers that they are I do not think Ben or Ulrich would have scored the points that Eric is. Sorry for Tom Bacons injury, Kasper is proving a great replacement.

Right on to Eastbourne with a team full of MPA specialists  UTB

unfortunately we do seem to be carrying one of our reserves - i think it was a step too far for him. I'm one who complains about excessive team changes but maybe this needs addressing

Another two pointer isn't going to make a real difference, Bears are now in a position to try and bring on such a rider, their strength allows for it, very different from past seasons.

Agree to a point but if you are going to try and progress a rider the Tom Wooley isnt it... theres a few other riders on 2pt averages who could hold there own whilst progressing

Seems to be at least one on this thread that I can see (it’s not you Boothers!).

I’m struggling to see how employing a more local 2 point reserve to replace a rider who is struggling to score any points is one of the great acts of sporting sabotage.

Replacing one reserve who Redcar knew would be a sacrificial lamb with another who can't score any points but is pally with the promotion but no other riders whilst hurting the prospects of another struggling UK club. Nope nothing wrong with that. Unless clubs can learn to look after the interests of the sport as a whole rather than short term individual ambition there will be very few teams left to compete against.

How does Wallinger keep getting so many clubs signing him?! When will they learn he’s unreliable and doesn’t even score points. Barely any in the Championship and on a 4pt NL average!

I gather he has some top engines and is known to loan them out to team mates.

So a precedent has been set today that you cannot sign a NL rider, as a Championship team, when he has the same race night as you. Tbf this is also following the Cook Peterborough/Belle Vue scenario from the other season.

The BSPA make it up as they go along... anything goes if your face fits
