What Redcar do is up to them, they have already announced the same 1-7 so , unless the rules change to suit the ones who cant have the same 7, why change?

Just because Newcastle have parted with two riders already, one by their choice, doesn’t mean others should be penalised by changing the speedway rules.

Now visas are whole different ball game.

I only asked the question ( I hope they can keep the same 7 as all other teams can hopefully & make a decent season of it with some good close meetings ) so smoke that pipe

Toft will be ok if he wants to stay on as he's based in the uk I would think but could be wrong 

Only if he has settled status.

And as no one knows the rules for visas post Brexit this is total speculation. Riss has already stated he’d like to be back at Kings Lynn and Redcar so no story there either.

It is informed by knowledge of the consequences of brexit and the existing work permit regime, so more than pure speculation.

Yet another thing that will end up in tiers.... :rolleyes:

I can though foresee some very tight regulation of "the rules" given the focus on Brexit from the many within Parliament who voted for it...

Boris will need to ensure all those back bench MP's who dislike the EU immensely, are kept 'onside' not just for Brexit, but for the myriad of tough decisions that lie ahead that he has to make..

Therefore, it wouldn't surprise me to see 'zero tolerance' as the initial stance, with the plan being to free up employment positions for UK nationals, with even more focus than ever on this given the expected economic downturn and reduction in jobs available...

The "rules" and there 'to the letter' implementation will certainly be under very close scrutiny....

Bring it on less foreign riders more opportunities for young British riders build again from the bottom. Weaken the teams in the short term to strengthen the product in the long term. After COVID and brexit it's a free hit so go for it

 Bears Ben Fund Run 

WE DID IT! 

 12.52km done along with Jamie and Jade topping their totals up to over 260km each. A total of just over 781km 

Jamie and Jade made their last journey from the old Cleveland Park Stadium to our current home at the Media Prima Arena. We did our last 1km together around our track at the MPA (socially distanced of course!) 

 Thank you to everybody who donated and gave us their support. It’s been a huge motivation for all of us.

Thanks to you, we have raised £4387.50 so far for the Speedway Riders Benevolent Fund through donations and the sales of our face masks this year.

 £2600 - JustGiving
£1475 - Bonus Ball
£312.50 - Face Mask profits

There’s still time to make a final donation via our JustGiving page here

 Following the release of today’s BSP Ltd announcement, it is with sadness and disappointment that the Redcar Speedway promotion have to break the news that Erik Riss and Joe Lawlor will not be a part of the 2021 Bears team.

Gutted for joe

Gutted and surprised. Joe might have his quirks and be harder to manage but results wise he looks the stronger rider than Jenkins at the current time. Jordan may have a stronger support package & more professional approach which has helped his corner but he has started to level off where as marmite Lawlor is still making waves and with the two eligible for the 2 start position seems the odd choice.
