Didn’t fancy the stick he would get at Workington end of this month 😶🤣

Seeing one or two comparisons with Birmingham, but its much too soon for that and in any case hopefully its a wrong comparison. Season 1 always a case of get going and survive relatively unscathed, probably on an initial shoestring budget. Getting as far as July is an achievement so completing the season looks good. Hope that with a clearer run-up, season 2 brings better competitively and track prep is more straightforward. But it will need more sponsorship and marketing, and personally I still cant figure out the Foxes  branding. Hope it gets changed whilst it still can be!

It’s tiresome but very cartel like that as soon as a club gets four wins over Northampton, seeing themselves nicely into the KO cup final and very well placed for the playoffs that they want OTHER clubs to help out Northampton for wins. Do as I say not as I do. Self interest at its best. It’s just the same with helping other teams be competitive as the only time this becomes a talking point is when they think they can have a pop at Belle Vue, the club that has done and does do more than any other. It’s pure defection for their lack or participation in making our league more competitive. Two riders over 8 is fine whilst your club have such a luxury but as soon as it’s gone then stop all teams. Self interest and yo yo ethics once again, ethics that is and has slowly killed this fine sport of ours. Predictably but sad. Anyway, I hope Matej returns soon, it’ll be Ace.

Couple of weeks to convince Beau Bailey to come over for a few months. Guess depends on his schedule and any clashes? 👀🤷‍♀️🤔

Hope the pilots management will ease Mr Bowes pain by making him Poole's 1st signing for 2027 😜🤣

This is silly.   The "one of the eight" plan was a good leveller, and the league is looking pretty even right now -- Edinburgh and Scunthorpe are higher than they might have been if others had kept all the good riders to themselves. Since this is a Redcar page, I should also say that the Bears have the luxury of choosing which of two very good riders to be their #1 going forward.  Their choice.
