But the head of British Speedway, Godfrey , says it’s all fine, welcome back Jason, ride on my track first , setting a great example to the sport.

They've had ONE match and that was AWAY on a less than perfect track for gods sake !

Any chance of you renaming this thread MIDDLESBROUGH ?

No.

So YOU dont believe it when it comes from the horses mouth ?…..Wow.

Archie Freeman.

With points to play with….how about Tom Wooley ? Was very popular at Redcar and is a proven NL scorer.

Interesting the SCB have used a photo of Ashfield with the championship trophy yet gave the title to Edinburgh ? Well they did award all the titles in the NDL as well so…..

JUNIOR LEAGUES NORTHERN JUNIOR LEAGUE SQUADS MONDAY, MARCH 25, 2024 THE five teams competing in the 2024 Northern Junior League have confirmed either their team or squad for the upcoming season. Each team will consist of two riders riding a 500cc motorcycle and two riders riding a 125cc/150cc motorcycle. Armadale Devils – Dayle Wood, Owen Booth, Lewis Hague and Callum Hague Ashfield Giants – Billy Budd, Tim Colley, Stene Pijper, Ollie Binns and Rhys Harrow Redcar Bear Cubs – Katie Gordon, Daniel McTeer, Ed Davison, William Hocaniuk, Charlie Fletcher, Oliver Bovingdon, Reuben Marsh and Harry Fletcher West Lothian Wildcats – Mark Parker, Lee Harrison, Rocco Webb and Liam Morris Workington Meteors – Callum Foy, Laylan Richardson, Casper Kluczniak and Charlie Luckman There have also been three fixture changes from the original schedule. The changed fixtures are as follows: Workington v Ashfield (was 31st March) Now 4th May West Lothian v Ashfield (was 5th April) Now 17th May

They should have been told to not select a middle age rider from the other side of the world ( again ) who couldn't average 5 points last season and give the place to a ‘developing’ Brit , isn't that the point of this league ??? but this is how British speedway is now being run.

Any chance of this ‘thread’ being given the correct title…..it’s MIDDLESBROUGH TIGERS……not Redcar.

I hope the lad goes well but they have 4:65 to play with and even though it’s a development side the team looks very weak compared to all the rest. I know there’s only 5 home matches but it’s a big gamble.

I would suggest Dave doesn't know and neither do I as this lad hasnt been on a 500 before the last few weeks but someone obviously rates him as they have selected him before several other candidates including Katie Gordon and local prospects Goldsbrough and Davison.

There is nothing in the rule book regarding any officials clothing , only the riders. However, it is advisable in their specific job description, for those old enough to have been staff from several years ago when such a document was available.

To some degree you are correct but perhaps you have the old ‘rose tinted spectacles’ on as a former rider. Times have changed and we all know it’s not for the better. Riders have promoters by the round things, they have all the aces and dictate just about everything now which is why the sport is dying a slow death. The promoters hands are tied if they want to attract a very demanding crowd these days and it’s a catch 22 situation. Having clowns who are self interested at the top isn’t going to change things.
