jenga 2,998 Posted November 16, 2017 Interesting article in the local paper, would suggest Friday nights and maybe a 42 point limit? http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/teesside-speedway-club-redcar-bears-13909918#ICID=sharebar_twitter looks like god frey has opened his mouth again .. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted November 17, 2017 Interesting article in the local paper, would suggest Friday nights and maybe a 42 point limit? http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/teesside-speedway-club-redcar-bears-13909918#ICID=sharebar_twitter Why are people struggling to grasp fixed race nights isn't just a Premiership thing? both leagues had as many guests as each other in 2017, fixed race nights eradicates a LOT of guests because of doubling up. Speedway needs to stop it with this them and us mentality. If our two leagues can't get on what chance of working with Sweden and Poland?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair SCB - I think this is just our promotion appeasing the 'old fart' brigade by saying we tried to save it - we can run any night we like, and we have run a number of Friday meeting due to Ipswich and Sheffield, so this won't be an issue and a lot of Bears fans realise this is for the good of the sport and for our viewing, as we wont see half-a-dozen guests on a regular basis 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikebaker 199 Posted November 19, 2017 If it is fixed race night's for Premier, and we revert to Fridays. 2.00 point Brit at number 7 to remain. 42.50 limit. Barker Wright Proctor Andersen Busch Bukhave Shane's,(not likely). Either Jordan Jenkins. Drew Kemp or Henry Atkins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,695 Posted November 19, 2017 Drew Kemp isnt 16 until deep into the season so isnt elligible to ride in the Championship in 2018 Good enough mind but still not elligible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebaker 199 Posted November 19, 2017 Drew Kemp isnt 16 until deep into the season so isnt elligible to ride in the Championship in 2018 Good enough mind but still not elligible Thanks for that.

boz 315 Posted November 19, 2017 Tobi has already posted he isnt riding in UK next year Would be disappointed with that - we stuck with him this year with his injuries. Garcia instead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheekycobra 159 Posted November 19, 2017 Would be disappointed with that - we stuck with him this year with his injuries. Garcia instead? Or Ellis (depending on the team total allowance). I hope we fit Bukhave back in at reserve. I think he will do what Ellis did last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenR195 113 Posted November 19, 2017 Would be disappointed with that - we stuck with him this year with his injuries. Garcia instead? He said he wont ride in UK next season because he wants to focus on Germany, Denmark and Poland, Coty or Jacob would be good if we could get them at reserve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsunami 10,219 Posted November 19, 2017 Or Ellis (depending on the team total allowance). I hope we fit Bukhave back in at reserve. I think he will do what Ellis did last season. Seriously, what is it that Redcar fans see in Bukhave that the rest of us can't see. I saw a hard trying rider going nowhere, but hanging around to make himself available. I am aware of a personal attachment he may have with Redcar, but I think Konopka was a better bet than Bukhave. Honest opinion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honest opinion. If you are going on the Bukhave that started 2016 season, having been thrown in the deep end, then possibly you could have that judgement. I think anyone who has seen Bukhave ride in the latter part of last season would be astounded with your view that Konopka is more likely to be a better option I don't say he is a rider who will rise to heat leader and take the league by storm, but the improvement over the year and his performance in Silver Helmet and other meetings, do (in my honest opinion) justify serious consideration for a team place using 4.00 points. He will easily score that at home, no question. As to Konopka - could be the answer to Newcastle's ongoing reserve issues and..... he is cheap - I'm sure kev/jitendra will give George a good loan deal for him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
