Well that’s it folks! Season over. Silver Helmet cancelled & not to be re staged. See what next year brings

As a supporter watching him he does seem to be inconsistent when the team is under pressure. Pretty much always gets a tapes warning most meetings as well. Maybe Lee Complin taking him from behind, under pressure,in the Play Offs put paid to his Oxford job. Who knows.

Obviously a lot of speculation over a new club for 2024 but if they can’t confirm at the upcoming AGM that they are running will they be allowed to join before the season starts? If promoters know and are sworn to secrecy will this affect the team averages for 2024?

I thought Workington were Saturday afternoon for league matches ?

Thank you, didn’t even know Martin had a sister, but then again why should I

Ah, ok. Didn’t know he was his uncle, thank you. I knew Martin Hagon was his dad.

Is Sam Hagon related to Martin Dugard? Watched a BSN interview and thought straight away he looked a young Martin double.

Won’t be Erik then. Seasons over with a damaged shoulder/rotator cuff? Injury. Best Wishes Erik an injury you could do without

Ten days to go to the “Silver Helmet” meeting at Redcar, has anyone got any information on the line up? The way the riders came and mingled with the crowd after the KOC defeat to Scunthorpe gave a sense that not all would be there in my opinion. Hopefully get some riders filtering through soon.

In my opinion we have not had a good track since the last meeting before the CLRC. This is not knocking the track staff or the club, it is the weather we have had leading up to the meetings or on the day. We have used covers, graded dirt off, put dirt on etc and the track has not been its usual self. Off the top of my head: CLRC- rain before hand Glasgow- rained off after 12 Oxford- rained before start Glasgow-rained most of week before Scunthorpe- poured down Thursday Not looking to make an excuse for preparation, just had a bad throw of the dice weather wise.

Both Flint & Etheridge appear to need a “round” track in my opinion, eg Belle Vue, Peterborough, Redcar etc. Leon been on long straight tracks for a while now & Jye seems to ride a “bowl” well.

Leon Flint Guests again

Dickson !

Rumour I’ve heard is 36 for 6 with a No 7 of 2points/ under 21/24/ British rider. Who knows. Take your pick on a No7 option

I think we might be down a little bit on average allowed, but would expect the champ to go similar to the Prem in 6 riders + a rising star/2 point rider/under 21 type of team build. Also going to depend on how many teams in each league.

Was supposed to be Sedgmen but obviously he got hurt on Wednesday, Flint was announced on Wednesday at the meeting. Also Provisionally Scunthorpe at Redcar next Friday.

And beatable from front & behind, even at Glasgow. Is a very good rider but not unbeatable imo

Flint did ok on his Redcar audition for 2024 at Oxford on Sunday. Let’s see how Friday night at Scunthorpe goes.

Yes, it could all be irrelevant after tonight

Fine in the north but a harrendous forecast later. Fingers crossed it misses Middlesbrough

It was Ian Brannan that did post a video, hence BSN getting named for it.

And it could all be irrelevant if Glasgow can’t beat Redcar tomorrow night

Bojangles, my quote got yours in by mistake. My Wow was to more towards Oxford might not have Scott Nicholls & the team Redcar had to put out at Oxford with 4 guests. Sorry for the confusion

Wow, look what Redcar had to run with at Oxford

Plenty of us at Redcar have had similar conversations all year, then he goes and rides Longtrack at bigger speeds and more riders in a race and does well. Sort of eliminates the bottle gone theory. He has loads of us confused to be honest.
