So - it says Team Redcar under your name -- I seriously doubt it !!! Sure you aren't an interloper who is out to cause mischief ??? There will be supporters who don't fully agree with the changes, but since this promotion took over - EVERYTHING has been done with supporters at the forefront of the considerations. It may or may not work out, but top marks for trying . I AM a Redcar fan and I WILL be there to see how we get on. Good Luck to Anders, thanks for 100% effort while in a Bears jacket

Keep up Blobby who uses cheques in this day and age, we electronically sent the money.

No Rider ever broke a Club, it's the stupid promoter who agrees to pay his demands that breaks the Club.

Next Wednesday instead of heading down the road to Wimborne Road we head up north to Birmingham. This could well be a very close and tough encounter. Brum are good around their patch. Hopefully a decent amount of Pirates fans will be making the 3 hour journey north to swell the crowd.

Just got back (after a quick pint on the way home in a pub with two fat men dancing!). A cracking meeting. Good hard riding from both sides. Best match I've seen at Leicester though I've missed a few this season. Howarth and Andserson top riders fro the home side. Good to see Jason Crump get a few wins - brought back memories of his imperious rides at Brandon. Good guest in Pickering. Even the lesser riders had a good go at it. I still think league speedway can provide the best spectacle for the sport. I do hope it continues.

Thank you Mark Courtney ££££££££££££

At least Monarchs only need Contactless for their signings .

Is it time the two children should be in bed.

The one thing I've been noticing recently - particularly with his last race just now - is that he doesn't seem to know where on the track he should be. He really is all over the place, and going backwards most of the time.

What load of crap! crap racing crap camerawork crap commentary so as not to be accused of being over negative, the adverts are interesting

It appears they have, I have been told this afternoon we can use any rising star to replace Palin ( should it be needed) Mr Watson was indeed correct.

Agree with all of that. You're very lucky if you could hear Rory's interview. Sadly, the tannoy didn't seem to be giving 100% in our section. We even managed to miss the announcement that young Hume was replacing Stefan Neilsen. Given my comments earlier on this thread, I should say Masters was decent. Not before time. There were a couple of blips though. Yet another episode of Sleepy Sam. This week's beneficiary was the good twin. We also had an episode of Fireman Sam, although his hose wasn’t quite long enough to reel in Daniel King. Those two slips put paid to his chances of emulating the great Barry Campbell. The bottom 3 tried but were completely outclassed by their counterparts in a team which has been built properly. Special mention to Danyon Hume. Very impressive. Not the best of meetings for unKempt, although he did improve as the night went on. If he's available, I would still definitely attempt to sign him. Severely doubt he would say yes but no harm in asking. As a team, we've now scored 40 (twice), 41, 42, 43, 44, 46 and 47 in our last 8 meetings. Nowhere near good enough, especially considering half of them were at home. We haven't scored 50 since 16 July. Now I'm a patient chap, and I'm well aware that winning every meeting 46-44 would still deliver trophies but the current formula just isn't working. Chop chop...

Personally I think it is more of a move to-get Lawson on board for next season than making the play-offs.Remember Pedersen has also said this his last season.

The lunatics took over the asylum on the updates site last night , apparently we are signing Dudek at 5k per meeting for just turning up. We’re do you even start with that one , more worryingly someone actually posted that and the rest of the mentalists actually believed it. Comedy gold at it’s finest.

I think that the IOW appeals to the non speedway purist who wants to be entertained over a period of time with a variety of two wheeled action and other distractions. Speedway as many know it and has operated for years cannot survive as you have too few teams and fewer riders who have actually honed their craft and know how to set up a machine for the range of track conditions that the prevailing U.K. weather requires. The sport needs an open policy that allows tracks to remain open and offer entertainment on days/nights that suit. Ignore Europe and with the tracks that are left run fortnightly on Friday, Saturday and Sunday between April and October and most of all go out to provide an evenings entertainment not 15 races with gardening interspersed with tractor time trials and many examples of restarts with the mechanical clowns trying to rectify what they failed to do before the first attempt to run the race. If a race needs to be restarted, the riders need to get back to the start not fart about making adjustments giving an unfair advantage. The sport is old hat and it fails to attract new followers and fails to try something new. It is dictated by riders who expect the unattainable in terms of track conditions and weather capped with promoters/club owners who think what they offer needs no change. These two need to ask themselves why the numbers on the terraces are falling. Sadly they have no interest in the punter or the potential entertainment value that a professionally run sport could offer. The current crop of riders (with few exceptions) and promoters apart from two or three really deserve each other and can be proud that their actions are central to the decline of speedway in this country and fully responsible for where it sits today.

I have bouts of mental health problems, and its only over the past few months that I've "Come Out" to coin a phrase. Some people told me to buck myself up, which is the worst thing to be told. Some people don't understand the situation, and I get that, because they won't if they've gone through it. Some people are very understanding. I'm currently having a great many demons, but have confidence, and obviously hope, that the people helping me with it, will get me out of the other end of the tunnel. I like Craig Cook. I feel for Craig Cook, and I pray he gets the help he needs from this invisible but deadly problem. Please people, whether you like the man or not, show him the respect and love that both he and his family needs at this present time. With the right guidance and love, he'll come out the other end with a smile on his face. Thank You.

Don't lie! It was only 2 3/4 hours...

He’s one of the top riders in the liga 1. But yes his team never made the the play offs.

Its not really Marcin Nowak its Patryk Dudek riding in Marcin Nowak's Kevlar's.

No I am not a leftie. Only the hard right and thick people would want brexit.

Lambert needs to drop the “ruthless” He’s breaking trade descriptions Act

Obviously, some tracks are better than others, but the last few races have been a LOT better than the earlier ones, and at least they have been able to race in the second half.

How is your team doing this season Falubaz?

I posted these 8 hours ago !! have you been in a darkened shed since 8pm on Sunday

If you see Mr Blobby Don't forget to scream

This director is crap.

Shame with the change in race format they couldn't have formatted the centre green presenter and removed you.

Ah Taffy. Taker of my weekly pocket money throughout the 1980s in exchange for finest speedway merchandise. Gone, but never forgotten. Condolences to all his loved ones.

Just officially sign a 3 or 4* option ...... I would suggest Josh Bates and then just use any guest you want

Clueless! you sure Don't know how hard it is to get riders in, even Glasgow with all there money have problems. So because you don't like what the club have done your not going what as happened to support your team through bad and good times. Hope redcar win the league.

Surely there should be room to run Grand Pix and an individual competitions in the same season. Other sports do. I used to think the qualifying rounds in the individual event were great .A rider would have one home meeting and two away and highest scorers went to the final 16.

So its coming down then..? Great news...

Nobody mentioning that Poles -- at least PZM licenced Poles -- aren't allowed in the Championship?

Hume had no Champ team in 2020, he's the one rider who has gained from the "rising star" rule! It's a shame that it took a rule that "forced" Poole into signing a promising Brit over an Aussie for him to get a team spot!

It's up to clubs to pay riders what the clubs can afford, not what the riders are asking for!

Whilst not doing anything wrong, his average has slipped this year. Not quite the year Redcar or he was expecting I'd imagine.

MacDonald's ave should be 4.00, but mistakes creep into the sheets on occasions!

They did,but there is always the “best interest of the sport rule “ that can come into play.

He will always be Timmy to us Eagles fans...

Haven't Eastbourne issued on their news/report feed that they were down to 5 riders, Kerr didn't think his engine would last another race at short notice & Lawson was already packing his gear away after (his view) being unfairly disqualified in heat 13

Tom is related to the Dugard family so it is quite possible he was being looked after whilst other riders were owed money.

Yes the link is mentioned here https://www.speedwaygp.com/news/article/9196/where-to-watch-|-togliatti you will need a VPN

M.D. That’s a fair summary IMO. Certainly a good deal of gambling on crowd growth in the business plan. The complete loss of the 2020 season must have been a major set back, with a good deal of marketing effort completely wasted.

That's a very good shout, he's top of the 2nd division averages in Poland. He's ahead of some very good riders.

Yea we are going to start work next May so you can't used the stadium for another season .....''This is great news for the club and we look forward to 2023 season in a brand new Stadium . We would also like to thank Clarke Osborne , Justin Tomlinson and Gaming int for there Outstanding Contribution in turning a dream into reality ''

JK`s excellent racecard for Togliatti tomorrow https://www.speedwayservice.at/images/racecards/2021/SGP2021-08.pdf

Well said.. Physical illness/disability is often visible.. Mental illness/disability often isn't.. Best wishes to Craig... And to you..

Can only see a home win.

Danny King has done a lot more then 4 seasons for Ipswich, after that it's a struggle, Rory Schlien might be on his 4th year at Wolves.
