Good on the lad, he'd been spoken to by the bigmoneymen up north, but chose to stay with Redcar because they gave him his first break.

Bigmoneymen…….lol

The Glasgow Bashing is quickly becoming a national obsession...………...lol...……..FREEDOM !!!

…..and yes, I would like to have seen the boy up north.

Well who do you think the the new number 1/signings will be Redcar fans? Seen as though it’s apparently a ‘new look’ team

One of the more impressive riders at Redcar, last year, was Michael Palm Toft. So I have a sneaking suspicion, he could be No1. Ty proctor, could also be a possibility for a team place.

Does he ride in Denmark on a Friday though?  Lots of people are suggesting this may be an issue for the Bears.

I think you might have one out of seven right there.

Funny. If it’s to be a ‘new look’ team you can’t exactly put last years riders in it can you, so I’ve went for riders without a club so far that have gone well around Redcar previously on a low budget.

thats how it works @ Glasgow . if you had a good meeting you stand a chance of being signed up , if you umm and rrr about it they just throw money @ you to  make it sweeter . same as the last 3 years really .

hope you bears build  a good side and have something to show for it . we have not been to Redcar for a long time , maybe time to pay the odd visit in 19 ..

I think most of those names will be much in demand, so It's likely to be about money.....Hope you're right though, that'd be a good side.

Oh I don’t think so really, the 4-5 pointers will be the ones finding it hard to get team places due to the 38 point limit now.

Just hope we dont include any duffers like Wilkinson, Robson or Pijper - that would really change the mood...  

Shame if we dont include the Anderson bros, both good Championship performers...

Still hoping for Wright or Proctor to be in the mix...

Stuart announced his retirement at the end of last season.

You (or anyone else) could do worse than Wilko on his 3.96 (-2.5%) average.

About time Wilkinson followed Robson, should have retired years ago - Wilkinson will be a waste of a team place if anyone signs him - wouldnt take him on a 2...

Is that Pjiper who came and scored double figures against you at Redcar then when you came to Berwick he scored a bagfull again we will happily take your duffers thanks he was one of the most improved riders in the league last year fanny

Yeah that one, the same Pijper who for Redcar rode 56 races and won 4...only Nathan Greaves won less with 2, but that was from 12 rides...so yes that same sorry excuse for a rider...

very very disrespectful comment of Robson, a good rider and loyal servant to his clubs, including Redcar

He rode for the Bears for two seasons over two spells - how does that make him a loyal servant to us? He was never more than bang average for us average around 6.5...indeed his second spell he was pretty awful...dropping over two points from his average. If anything we were loyal to him, not the other way round...that's a "very very accurate' assessment of Robson and Bears...

Looking around other teams and rumours at this stage

Wright

Barker

Stewart

Palm Toft

could be heading your way which would suggest not enough room for both of the Danish brothers

That would be a very good top-four - Barker would only improve without having the pressure of being the only real heat-leader in the side, although I still think it would be a shock if were able to get him back - given his average
