Good news a deal has been signed somewhere - although I wonder what the deal now is in terms of clubs themselves using video highlights on websites/social media?

Could be an interesting move - wonder what has happened to GoSpeed as part of this? In one sense, this could be good if it means a lot of the licensing restrictions are lifted? May mean clubs can put highlights and video packages on website and even perhaps the potential of a league highlight package somewhere?

Not according to this - looks like he was the track curator previous: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/speedway/mick-horton-blames-track-bosses-6873274

Just a quick note to say thanks to Ludvig Lindgren for donating to Redcars Just Giving appeal after the clubhouse burglary last week. A lively gesture which is much appreciated

Kevin Keay is certainly approaching things in the right manner so far, and has a lot of excellent ideas. His main aim, on and off track, is to entertain the spectators so fingers crossed for better times in the coming seasons!

Poole

No Kus at Newcastle - could we see him back at Redcar?

And another one off the list with TJ going to Worky - will be interesting to see our lineup on December 2nd.

Can cross Bellego off the list.

Good signing for you guys - means he won't be back with us next season now Excellent style and was our one highlight of last season.

Would be delighted with TJ, wanted him at Redcar for a while!

Would love him at Redcar!

Not groundbreaking news but good news I think - especially the fact that Jitendra is putting the side together. He seems well respected and liked by the riders. Plus the fact that teambuilding is still going on whilst the new promoter is being put in place. Was hoping for news of either the first rider, or the confirmation of promoter but fingers crossed we won't have to wait too long.

Decent looking side, would expect both Busch and Skidmore to feature for us though.

Ty Proctor on a sub 7 average must be worth a punt?

True enough Drac - even just a side that looks like it might have a chance would get support. Fingers crossed the new promoter can win back some of the old crowd and get a bit of atmosphere around the place.

All quiet on here! Really need the new promotion sorted out i guess before too much can happen with riders. Sounds like JBA had agreed terms with Havvy and is just waiting on the new promotion to confirm it and that would be a solid start to team building.

Premiership and Championship..

I had thought he was maybe heading somewhere else until last night.

So apparently announced at the social evening tonight that Brian is stepping down as promoter. Will stay in place until replacement is found. Whatever your thoughts on him, he kept the club on a even financial keel during his tenure. Always been plenty of rumours of interested parties so could hopefully be an exciting new era.

More chance of me riding I think

Suppose someone should start this topic! Priority one for me would be to get Bellego back. The one big plus for me this year. Would have Skidmore and JBA back, think there is much more to come from JBA. Busch started off well but tailed off a bit - he did have bike problems though so I would be tempted to give him another shot. In an ideal world, would love to see Branford at reserve and also Mikkel Andersen but unlikely I know!

Bjerre would be my guess (i hope anyway!). Would like to think we would keep Jonas.

Friday the 9th September for the re-arranged fixture. The Silver Helmet meeting due for the 8th will be re-scheduled.

Interesting to hear it from another viewpoint! Thought the Worrall tapes one was cut and dried - jumped the first start and was warned and did exactly the same again! On that showing, Newcastle still have more to come and will be a threat in the playoffs. For us, I would be getting Busch signature for next year sorted now!
