I think that is fair - he was always on the pace and there or thereabouts but maybe a touch tentative compared to his last visit. I think Schlein has been a bit hit and miss here in the last - definitely miss tonight.

Great meeting, in front of a great crowd with a great atmosphere. Thought Poole had the meeting wrapped up if I am honest, but Bears found their gating gloves when it mattered most. Thought Basso looked good, I think his heat win was the quickest time of the night? When he gets settled in should be a trump card for Poole. Schlein was poor, and thankfully for us Cook was a shadow of the rider who guested for us. Three Bears heat leaders were solid, and Rowe again good at reserve. Some very decent races in the second half as well, Kelly v Blair on a couple of occasions produced some great stuff.

Should be a cracker this - Poole look strong especially if Cook rides as he did on his last visit here. If Wright rides like he did on Monday night we may just edge it but looking forward to what should be a great meeting.

This is probably of very little consolation to Poole fans but Cook was absolutely superb at a track I believe he has never seen before.

To be fair, your first post on this specifically blames the Redcar promotion..

Good interview with Jitendra on feedback from supporters survey amongst other things:

Riss won't fit for the Bears unfortunately (without dropping anyone) http://www.redcar-speedway.com/2021/03/26/the-search-goes-on/

The likes of Mountain and Rowe would give us one strong reserve.

Jamie Swales was announced as new co-promoter. Certainly no stranger at Redcar, and currently oversees the Northern Junior League. A good appointment I think - and certainly good news for the Cubs I would imagine.

More good news that was mentioned on Saturday night - Terry will still be doing the track next season.

Really pleased with the team - delighted to see the top 5 back. Thought we might have to break it up. 3 top heat leaders, with Stewart hopefully pushing them this season. On paper not the strongest at reserve - but plenty of potential there. If one of the reserve catches fire it could be one of the teams to beat. Very happy - well done promotion.

Pleased to see Jordan get a chance. Has improved in both his years with us, and expect to see that continue next year. I think riding with the likes of Doyle can only help him.

Pretty much what the Redcar promotion have said as well i believe.

Great news!

Bears to announce first signing next Saturday night, who do we think? Charles or Jordan for me.

Really hope we can keep as many of the seven from this year as possible to be honest. Hopefully Wright and Riss to again lead the side, and think next year is a big year for Stewart. Andersen impressed me so would like to see him back. Greaves tailed off a bit towards end of year but I think did enough especially away from home to justify another year. Rumours would suggest MPT is maybe away which would be a shame.

I'm not one to be fooled by riders at the end of the season saying how much they would like to be back, but I thoroughly believed Charles Wright tonight when he said it. Was very emotional on stage. Would be a great start to team building, hopefully alongside Andersen and Stewart at least.

I believe it will be Ben Barker.

Updates has the score for heat 9 wrong, was a 3-3 with Stewart finishing 3rd ahead of Clegg. Was a bit of a strange meeting really. Felt like we were in control throughout but just could not quite pull away. Heatleaders were excellent and Allen was a superb guest, maybe a good audition for next season...? Newcastle battled hard though, Bjerre has his best meeting here in a while and Wethers and Ostergaard both impressed (thankful that Ulrich was not at reserve!) All to play for - I make Bears the slight favourites but think it will go down to the wire.

He is the guest for at least Friday and Saturday I believe. Not 100% sure on Sunday but would make perfect sense.

I believe it is Jake Allen for the Bears on Friday.
