I'm guessing they are worried about Stewarts fitness - may well end up running r/r anyway and better to have a better guest?

Would be very surprised if he was not at Redcar still.

As has been said numerous times on this thread, the facilities will be improved and not just for the Fours. Hosting the event is not something the club took lightly and they did not accept at first, instead going away and making sure they would be able to get everything in place they would need. Parking, catering, viewing are all things that have been thought about.

Whilst I 100% agree, in the interests of fairness it appears to have been the same in the past when Redcar have visited Newcastle.

Kev mentioned on Thursday that viewing facilities would be improved, not just for the Fours but for every week.

I don't think HT has anything against Redcar, he is always very fair I find. I think it's fair to say a number of people really enjoyed the last couple of Fours meetings at Peterborough and would have liked to see it back there. I'm confident we can also put on a very good meeting, and very much looking forward to it.

Redcar did not ask for the Fours, they were offered them..

I'm not sure it was a desire for new assets as much as we were told to acquire some new assets. Cautiously optimistic, and we should have enough to win most home meetings. Will always be strong at reserve, although perhaps missing that top end strength. Will be a lot resting on Barkers shoulders. It's clear Matej splits opinion, I like Matej but think second heat leader is a big ask. That being said, a happy and fully fit Kus could score very well at home at least. Be good to see how MBA and Stewart go. Just hope fans give this side a chance.

Car parking will not be an issue going off what Kev said tonight - alongside improved viewing areas and improved catering. Should hopefully be a fantastic event.

Kus seemed delighted to be back, and was a strong hint he was certainly not enjoying things under the old promotion.. Dont know a lot about Stewart, but from what Jitendra said he comes very highly recommended from Mark Lemon and Hugh Skidmore, indeed Lemon was close to naming him in the Belle Vue team this year. Jitendra seemed very excited indeed by him in particular. We all know what Busch can do around the MPA - we need an injury free year from him if possible. Will be strong at reserve all season, and in Barker we have a good number one. Relying a bit on Kus or JBA to really step up this year, but fairly pleased with the side.

Which would be JBA, MBA, Busch and Stewart if the rumours are true. I like Kus, and think a fully fit and happy Kus could do well. Would have preferred him as third heat leader though.

Bukhave?

Just my opinion, but seems like a massive over reaction here. Would personally think it would have been much worse if someone comes on here and blabs the team before it is announced

Shame if true, and no reason at all to doubt you! Have always liked Jonas and have been keen for us to get Mikkel the last couple of years. Good luck to them wherever they end up.

Would have thought the same rule that stops Nicholls doubling down would affect him as no 2017 championship average? And Swindon will be riding on some Thursdays so would miss meetings.

Proctor perhaps?

I would guess a seven as he rides top league in Denmark.

Would not mind a gamble on one of the young Americans, signs pointing to Mikkel B Anderson as well maybe. Had forgot about Branford and not a bad shout. Seems like Perks still looking for a team which is a bit of a shame.

Surely an Ipswich asset. My guess would be Mikkel, and would be pleased with that

I believe there is a second hearing next week.

Was certainly very interesting, I thought guests were just for any of your top three though? Interesting stuff about TV/Streaming as well with a working party looking at putting a highlights type program on a channel like Motors TV.

So no Garrity back next year. Maybe a Proctor or Jorgenson in to replace him?

Bears to announce first rider on Thursday. Barker or Wright?

Would be disappointed with that - we stuck with him this year with his injuries. Garcia instead?

Interesting article in the local paper, would suggest Friday nights and maybe a 42 point limit? http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/teesside-speedway-club-redcar-bears-13909918#ICID=sharebar_twitter
