In talks, yes as the Championship , or NDL if there is one , needs Workington but he has stated quite openly at practice sessions and meetings he is troubled by the costs of team racing and has said it on several occasions that he would just run practice sessions as they make a good profit and possibly some open meetings to put funds back into the account as crowds dwindled towards the end of the season. Hopefully he has changed his mind . After all the time, effort and funds he has put in he is entitled to do what he thinks is best, but upping his wage bill by ten times and not matching that with increasing crowd numbers has got to be a factor.

The TV money goes to the clubs that feature on TV, that’s simple enough. The SCB/ BSPL have no interest in the youth or they wouldn’t have withdrawn the funding in the first place. Godfrey should shoulder SOME of the blame, he presides over the whole shambles after all.

Hardly cost effective for Workington to run in that league with the travel costs involved and he has already stated he’s not looking to run ANY team next season, however strange that may seem.

Then you need to go to spec savers as they go out the same amount of times every meeting unless requested. We all know who and what happens at Scunthorpe and you forgot centre green announcer slash ref berator and part time sit in track protestor.

No, The CoC is just the referees assistant and pits coordinator, he/she has no power to require a track grade, he/ she would merely pass any requests to the ref.

Anybody, rider, team or managers can REQUEST a track grade, it’s upto the Ref if he allows it.

Tractors only went out at Scunthorpe riders requests but let’s not spoil the flow of a meeting to keep you happy and your riders unhappy. Best team won, good luck at Poole.

Yeah, like the rules have ALWAYS been followed in this sport……

The BSPL and Oxford knew Redcars predicament regarding lack of riders and still made them accept the date. You can’t blame riders, who are self employed, going where they get the best wage. The BSPL didn’t think of ‘protecting its asset base ‘ when it gave Poland the green light on prioritising race dates did it ?

Interesting….two guests and R/R in a junior 4 rider team, just like the pro leagues!

But Bailey wasn’t….he was only signed after Shane’s declared he wasn’t going to be fit and he had already got a Polish contract before his deal with Redcar. The problem here is not the riders, it’s the BSPL’s handing of the hole play off situation , fixtures and the ill thought out rules

Whilst that is rather a strange , and worrying ,thing to wait for, isn’t that why riders get tested ?…..to prevent such a thing from happening .

You are going to be shocked then,,, UK average per point for a heat leader 80- 120…..if they aren’t in a guarantee…. .Poland …set fees in the thousands for turning up!

Whilst it is a great signing for the championship there is the down side of what he is actuality being paid , and yes it’s a phenomenal sum for a ‘five pointer’ and the most any championship rider is currently being paid. It may only be for half a dozen matches but you can imagine what riders wage demands will be for next season. Trying to buy a trophy ? But then, if you’ve got it, flaunt it !

Well , Bellend….the clue there is word ‘ rescheduled’…..meaning a rearranged fixture so no priority.

“Cannot be bothered “ or earning four times as much riding elsewhere ?.

No they haven’t but you keep pretending you know it all.

No, no tyres provided by BSPL for semi etc , 1tyre per rider at the beginning , end of.

No disrespect at all, the club had a trophy on hand for the photos and that was it.

Because they weren’t issued tyres for the semi’s ….

A few quid but the BSPL didn’t even bring a trophy, they forgot , the club had to produce one from behind the bar.

More moaning…and it hadn’t even started.

As no tyres were changed during the meeting you will have find something else to moan about.

Redcar is council owned and part of a motorsports park.

Same as always ….a set fee sliding scale depending where they finish with the winner just about making enough to buy his mechanic a bag of chips on the way home.
