Look through his previous comments....he literally hadn't mentioned it until the day after the result and then he called the Oxford promotion 'scumbags'. And maybe nothing was done about it because it's not illegal. First time it was mentioned on the match thread, the issue of Jenkins going to Oxford and the circumstances around it have been discussed on other Redcar threads. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Triple.H. 1,986 Posted May 5, 2023 TBH building a team is about putting a 7 piece jigsaw together, within the constraints of the averages so you could say Bartosz Zmarzlik was in your plans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They could have done, but they didn't mention him. The comments about Jenkins being part of their plans came directly from the promotion at Redcar when the team was revealed.

If Jenkins was a Redcar asset you are still meant to ask for permission. 4 hours ago, Berry9 said: Isn't it meant to be like this:- Oxford......"Can we have permission to speak with one of your assets regarding riding for us next season" Redcar......"Yes/No" Exactly. 3 hours ago, Triple.H. said: How do you know they didn't ask ? Maybe the rider wasn't in Redcar's plans for this year. Watching the Redcar Bears talk on Facebook or sometimes YT. I think in the Gavin Parr interview he said they offered Jordan a new deal but Oxford offered him more. If Oxford asked for permission to talk to him then no problem with it. 3 hours ago, phillipsr said: Its also hypocritical when he hasnt taken issue with his own team doing it…. Pure sour grapes If you are still talking about Danny King, pretty sure that was all above board. If it wasn't Matt and Dan Ford would kick off about it as sure they reported another team for doing it in the past. - this would be 'elite league' days though! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Technik 491 Posted May 5, 2023 Speedway is a funny sport. Each rider will sign a contract for a season, that much I understand. Now when the season ends & the new one is starting each team needs 7 riders. If a rider from season 1 is not one of the new seasons 7 he is left without a valid contract so is in fact a free agent & can choose a new team. Jordan Jenkins confuses me even more as he rode for Redcar & Oxford last season so is he an asset of both clubs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, can only be an asset of one club and if he chooses to ride for a different club then they have to pay a loan fee. If I was Redcar I would be putting a little extra on top for the inconvenience I am assuming he is a Redcar asset here, going by the conversation on this thread!

mikebaker 200 Posted May 5, 2023 Jenkins and Jason Edwards were announced as club assets last season. Along with Archie Freeman, after Newcastles demise. It was also announced at the 2023 team reveal. That Edwards and Charles Wright had signed on for the 2024 season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did the Redcar promotion report the incursion to the BSPL.? Are you for real ? How do you think Redcar approach riders ? The same as everyone else you idiot !
