Fair post again from Yearby. Think with Charles we may have won but who knows. Was a much improved performance by some, with Knudsen having a good night and Bailey looked quick after his opening ride. Great to see Edwards continue his progress. For Scunny MPT was excellent, with rest giving good support without any real standouts I thought. Harrisons four points proved hugely crucial. Track on the slick side again but understandable with the amount of rain again this week.

Well done to Worky - both Cook and Batchelor clearly fancied it tonight which is not always the case. Both looked good. Tate took to the track straight away and Vissing was excellent. Celina battled hard and deserved her points. Worrying start for the Bears but not panic stations yet. Charles was good I thought but lacked any real support - thought King looked poor. Bailey did OK, but after a good first ride Knudsen was disappointing. Thought Edwards was good. Track a bit slick but understandable with the amount of rain over the last few weeks. Not sure if it is too early to get on the blower to Mr Riss.

6 of the team to be announced tonight - who do we think?

More chance of Captain Cook I think

Should be a great signing for Scunthorpe - would have loved to see him return to Redcar but can understand the lure of riding for your local club!

If Cook did leave Poole, would have loved him at Redcar!

Wouldn't be too disappointed with that side at all. Would like to see Riss back as I think if fully fit would be a strong heat leader in a weaker league.

Can't see the Bears pulling it back, but should be a cracking meeting either way!

A good move for us I think, Jamie and Jade are speedway through and through and have done a great job but u the nk it is good to have someone who is running a successful business on board as well.

Can't argue with much of that - was one heat leader and five second strings really. Fair play to King, Hume and Edwards for battling away. Riss incredibly poor. Oxford looked strong throughout once conditions settled a bit. Have as good a chance as anyone of winning the league.

Why does no-one ever seem to say "Yeah sorry, I got that wrong" anymore?

Getting in before YearbyRed! First and foremost, massive credit to the promotion and track staff for getting the track in a state that was not just rideable but raceabale. Super effort considering the amount of rain. Some great racing - heat 17 was an absolute classic. Lots of good performances - Most riders had at least one good ride. I think Charles was fortunate to still be in the final, but it was a superb ride on the rerun. Bomber got better as the night went on and I'm a big fan of Ben Cook - he rides Redcar superbly (as most riders do!) Slightly disappointed in Douglas and Lawson - they were my pre meeting favorites and whilst they were far from poor it just didn't seem to click for them. Great meeting though and I was thoroughly entertained (and thanks again to Rory Schlein for making a little lads night!)

Take a bow Luke Harrison. Super night from him, and Edwards had one of his hot nights and was also excellent. Hume and Bailey very solid in middle order as well, King struggled a bit early doors bit came good st the end of the meeting. Basso excellent for Oxford along with Masters as expected. Solid from Howarth, and Jenkins had a good return. Some decent racing so good night all round.

Decent enough meeting, Scunny might feel slightly hard done by but think just about a fair result. Heat 15 was a cracker, think Wright would have got Douglas anyway but will never know! Wright excellent for Bears and good to see Riss get back to something like we know he can. Could tell how much that heat win meant to him. Bailey keeps getting better and better, paid 10 riding at three is excellent return. Edwards blowing a bit hot and cold at the minute, but big ride in heat 14. Harrison is very much on the pace and getting better with every ride - reminds me a bit of early season Mulford where givong everyone 30 yards at the start but that will come. Encouraging to see him out straight after the meeting with King helping him out. Douglas excellent got Scunny as always, Allen started slowly but came to the party and Mountain also good value, thankfully for us Lambert had a poor night!

Gutted we lost the meeting, but thoroughly enjoyable night of speedway that had a bit of everything. Mulford was superb, and it's great to see him come on week by week. Hume and Bailey again rode well and maybe deserved more. Wright was superb but shows we need all our heat leaders to be firing really. Heat 15 I thought we maybe got lucky.. Ben Cook is just so good to watch round Redcar, alongside Worrall and Lawson who rode well. Congratulations to Poole, and I think a great advert for what this sport can be.
