  1. Why would Jacks priorities be at Peterborough when he has Poole and Torun? Earns more money at his other clubs, Peterborough is just an easy extra pay check for him, I dont blame him for wanting to ride in Torun to be honest its gonna better his career riding with the big boys, whos he riding with at Peterborough? Ulrich and Harris 😂🙈
  2. Ged agreed to let Holder go and allegedly took a backhander off torun for his troubles, cant he use that to pay the fine? Ged is 100% at fault here, not jack, jack got told he could ride in Poland so he done as he was told, Ged should of said no, hopefully they dont close down because of this but you need new people in, as far as I can tell Ged isnt liked by the fans so get him out now, looking back Im glad redcar didnt take him on a few seasons ago when he wanted in, it could be redcar in this situation

    Cant they just reapply for it? Or does he have to sit out for a year?

    Always got on well with me and the rest of the team/management at Redcar, even stayed at Brian Havelocks at the time and his attitude didnt stink at all, and thats saying something since he was around Brian quite abit

    2015 Redcar 7. Dimitri Berge 3,3,3,0,2,2,1 = 14 2016 Berwick 1. Dimitri Berge (G) 3,3,1,2',1 = 10+1 2016 Sheffield 2. Dimitri Berge 2,2',3,1 = 8+1 2. Dimitri Berge 2*,3,2,1*,1 = 9+2 Fair to say, he loves the EWR, I worked for him when he rode for Redcar in 2015, hes a good lad, has really good kit aswell
  7. Theyll usually bring a tractor out after heat 14 while managers pick the lineups for heat 15 and while bikes are getting prepared, and to make the last race as entertaining for the fans as they possibly can, tractors usually come out every 4 heats anyway to bring the shale back coz the track changes drastically, inside ends up slick and all the dirt ends up on the air fence pretty much, tractors need to come out to stop tracks going to 1 line, but they dont need to do as many laps as they do sometimes
  8. Solid starting grid wont work because the new bikes have too much power so they will just spin on the starts, I agree table toppers should win the league though. Live streaming wont work because fans would just sit at home and not bothering going so then tracks would lose money on the gate, look what happens when tracks get put on TV, they need to cut the cost of admission just to get people through the gate still

    Steal on 3.15 average in my opinion though, he has proved what he can do when he is treated properly, on his day can score double figures

    Workington V Glasgow 23/9/17

    Most riders just use the 2nd bike for show, plus engines are setup for different tracks so his number 1 engine will be setup to get round the fast tracks like Workington, Glasgow, redcar and so in whereas his 2nd engine would be setup for Newcastle, Edinburgh and Ipswich, so jumping on someone elses bike could be better than jumping on your own 2nd bike

    Jonas B Andersen? Got 12 and 11 both times he rode there this year, not bad from a 6.5 pointer

    Redcar 2018

    Would struggle to fit that team in terms of averages, realistically its either perks or JBA, if you had both that would mean Tobi in main body and 2 young 2/3 pointers at reserve, and look how that worked out for Newcastle this year
  15. Don't offer deals you can't afford to honour, they've struggled the past couple of seasons so what do they go and do, sign cook, TJ and Proctor, they won't be cheap at all
  16. I'm a mechanic, so I know riders past and present that have rode for Workington and they've said they've been slow at paying, I also know riders that have turned down offers from Workington this season because they've been told about the money problems, I'm not naming names and it's no physical proof as such but it's came from riders mouths so can't be far wrong, it makes sense since laura gets the begging bowl out every year claiming they can't afford to run
  17. So it's okay for the crowd to boo and swear at him but if he retaliates, he is a disgrace to the sport? I wasn't there so I can't say what actually went on in detail but I know James and he isn't the sort to just stick his finger up at the crowd for nothing, he'll be annoyed that he is having a bad time and instead of the home crowd supporting him he is constantly getting slated online by them as 'being the worst signing' I know not all the Workington fans are bad but from times I've been there, SOME have been an embarassment, he has got talent and the fact you's went to Scunthorpe the next day and he top scored proves it, and if James should be banned for that then why hasn't anything happened to the club for not paying riders, they've struggled for a few years and that's why certain riders have left and not came back coz they were riding with no pay and the club has struggled in the later stages of this year with money aswell, how long till Laura puts up her annual post on Facebook begging fans to turn up or speedway will close?

    Points Awarded !

    Although it was unlikely we would of got 5 5-1s, it was still mathematically possible, that is all I'm saying, the rule states mathematically possible, not whether we were likely to win or not The mathematically possible rule, although very unlikely, it was still mathematically possible for Redcar to win the meeting, so that rule was bent coz the statement said we couldn't of caught up, but like I've said, Glasgow deserved the win and if they had awarded the win on the night it wouldn't of been a problem, it's the fact that it got abandoned and vatcher said it would need to be re ran for him to change his mind 5 days later is where the problem lies
