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.

Redcar v Scunthorpe KO Cup Semi Final (2nd Leg) 06/10/23
boz replied to stumper's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
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.

Redcar vs Oxford - Champ playoffs - 22/09
boz replied to Bojangles's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
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!)

Redcar Bears vs Oxford Cheetahs - Champ - 28/7
boz replied to Bojangles's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
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!

Redcar Bears Vs Poole Pirates Championship 16th June
boz replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
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. -
Whilst the Berwick fans will point to a poor performance from their side, it was an equally good performance from the Bears. Didnt really look a weak link tonight - having Riss back a lift for the whole side. Good to see King back on form, and both Hume and Bailey rode hard for not as many points as they may have deserved. But hats off to Mulford tonight, best home performance by a mile and rode really well. Shows what at least getting to the first bend in the mix can do, but made some great passes and will surely take a whole load of confidence from tonight. Knudsen had a strange night, looked excellent in his first two and then nowhere. Hook did his job but otherwise a poor performance. A big well done to Rory Schlein however - my nephews always stand and wave at the away riders vans as they leave. They often get a wave back, but Rory stopped his van and gave them a cap which they were absolutely over the moon with. A simple but effective way to get two new fans.

Redcar v Berwick KO Cup 31/3/23
boz replied to allthegearbutnaeidea's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Not sure if it is a league ride thing, but so far this season both teams have had a couple of minutes of practice laps before the parade at Redcar. Did not see it myself either but that's when Flint came off, looked pretty painful. Fairly run of the mill meeting in the end, slick track (understandably) meant gating at a premium. Schlein impressed with soms good gating and hard first bends. Edwards was excellent with Hume and Bailey also looking decent -
Agree with Yearby - slick track meant close racing but not necessarily a lot of passing. Great challenge for Bears though and top 3 were excellent. Thought Bailey did well and Hume certainly showed promise. Never seen anyone work as hard for no points as Mulford. Think when the track has an outside line will see the best of him and Hume.
-
Should be a tough challenge for the Bears, hope we will just have the edge but should be a good meeting.
-
Good looking side. Good top end, delighted to see Riss back. Hume is solid second string and Edwards should be one of top reserves in the league. Mulford looks to be one of the better 2 pointers, and was excellent up here in the Under 19 Final.
-
Does Broc Nicol fit?
-
Shame to see Lewi and Jordan leaving, good luck to both!
-
He was superb tonight. Gated reslly well, made a couple of good passes and rode some great defensive lines when in front. Could be a bargain for someone on a 2pt average next season.

Redcar v Poole 7th Oct 2022. K O Cup Final First Leg
boz replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Congratulations to Poole, deserved winners and should win it all this year. Ben Cook has generally gone well here and superb tonight. Only the heatleader really showed up for the Bears but still some decent racing. Roll on next season! -
Redcar v Poole 7th Oct 2022. K O Cup Final First Leg
boz replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
We are just down from second bend and did not see anything at all really, had us scratching our heads. Poole blew us away in those first few heats really, need the second strings to come up with something! -
Not entirely sure what happened there. Bears (Kerr and Jenkins aside) were shocking for first half of meeting. Lawson was an inspired guest and Roynon was absolutely superb - best I have seen him in years. Fair play to the Bears though, showed up in last three heats especially. Super comeback. Not sure it will be enough but would have snapped your hands off for the chance after heat 12

Championship League Riders' Championship at Poole
boz replied to cinderfella's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Apologies I was not massively clear in my post - my remarks were more around abusing Cook but I can see it is not clear at all. Original post made it sound as if the whole stadium was booing. Sadly, you get a few idiots everywhere but i agree that should definitely not happen. Definitely added a bit of spice to a night that had pretty much everything!
