Any signs of BWD making a return or is he out for the season?

Ermolenko wanted to design is as a bigger Wolverhampton but departed the project before work on the track commenced I read somewhere.

Just put transponders on the bikes then there would be no argument who got to the finish line first. You would also get accurate race times. They've had them on the karts on the racetrack next to Redcar speedway for years.

There are riders available such as Sedgeman, Kheler etc. There also seems to be a lack of interest in finding new talent from abroad. I partly blame that on the over abused guest system. It's far cheaper to use 'borrowed' riders that are already in this country than do the hard work to bring a new talent over. There will be foreign talents especially the younger riders wanting to ride over here.

Clegg, Wright and Starke looked to have really scored well tonight it's the other four that let the team down.

Quiet night tonight for Bradley Wilson Harris.

Doesn't William Lawson normally ride Newcastle well? Could do a job at reserve although I think Newcastle's main concerns are further up the riding order i.e a number 1.

Watched the stream and thought Congreve's race pace was ok but he is woeful out of the start. His race is over by the 1st bend due to his trapping. If he can sort that out he may have a chance of making it.

Well not in GB anyway but I live in hope.

Doesn't make it right. Sometimes it's just a lack of effort in searching for a new rider. Also no doubt comes down to cost. Cheaper to pay a guest already in GB than say bringing over a new Dane. Does nothing for the credibility of the sport at all though.

Shouldn't have been allowed. Joke sport!

What about the credibility of the sport? Teams shouldn't be allowed to use guests for a lengthy period

How convenient.

Thought Riss would have been excluded in the Gilkes clash. Ref got it wong. Thought Harris beat Ker to the line line but it was difficult to see from the head on camera angle. Not sure. Harris clearly took Gilkes off on turn one. The Redcar riders weren't involved so shouldn't have been punished. The ref could have took the easy option with first bend bunching but it wasn't the Redcar riders fault. Ref got it right.

It's a shame Newcastle couldn't see fit to host Robbo's meeting with him being a Diamonds legend. He only had 1 stunted season at Redcar (and a short spell at Middlesbrough) but he has been a great servant to the sport and deserves his farewell meeting regardless.

I think they will struggle AT Brough Park!

60 - 29. Newcastle did better than I expected to be fair.

Has the potential to be a cricket score in Redcar's favour this meeting.

Wright Kerr Riss Stewart Anderson Jenkins AN other.

Ostergaard?

Not a very good ex rider at that!

Blame the Birmingdump promotion or lack of it!

The Birmingdump promotion have done it to themselves this season. Shambolic!

Good win for Redcar at Birmingdump tonight.

Maybe the Eastbourne promotion/team aren't allowed to use the stadium due to outstanding rent issues. Therefore they can't rally the public to turn out in numbers like Newcastle and Birmingham did.
