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

Latest update from Redcar Speedway after the further delay to 2020 season: http://www.redcar-speedway.com/2020/03/25/2020-season-delayed-further/

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.

Fair play to Glasgow, heatleaders were superb tonight. A bit of a strange meeting, Redcar only won 4 heats but still only lost by two. Cook and Jensen superb, Jensen always has gone well here. Sam Jensen really attacked the track, and Bailey and Bickley picked up useful points. The Bears did throw some points away - Riss with a thrown chain and Andersen dropping it whilst leading. There also won't be too many meetings where Riss only scores 4. Deserved win for the Tigers though, and hope MBA and Woolley are both ok after what looked a big crash (by the way, not sure how that was awarded with Riss and Vissing fighting for the lead). Look forward to the playoff clash between the two sides...

Have to admit I did not think 10 would be enough, but superb performance from the Bears! Fair play to Eastbourne too - takes two teams to make a good cup tie.

Agree with all of that to be honest. Allen was working his socks off, but no-one was realistically replace Charles scoring around the MPA. A lot of close, fast racing but not a great deal of passing. Good to see Stewart back to his best. Lawson was again excellent for the Eagles, and Kennett started superbly. Kerr and Newman had their moments, and have to say probably best I have seen Phillips ride. Slightly disappointee in Edwards who has rode well here previously. Tie is on a knife edge - good go either way. I think Eastbourne must now be favourites but you never know! Good to see a good sized crowd again as well. Last note, great to read the programme notes from Jitendra about the recent fan survey. Four pages of notes going into some detail around issues around facilities/rules/fixtures/press coverage. Great to have some transparent communication.

Was mentioned in Redcar programme last week it has been extended to the 19th.

Bears are hopeful MPT will be fit to ride on Friday, so hopefully pulls through and ok for this meeting.

Massive congratulations to Erik Riss - what a season this has turned out to be!

It was not an entirely serious point.. Once he changed bikes last night he rode well - heat 9 was a cracker and I'm still not sure how he finished last.
