Well that’s an unexpected result and trophy. Had been out and forgot this was actually being run tonight so delighted when I saw the updates. Well done to the lads tonight, pulled it out when it mattered. It’s a good team if everyone rides well (did it without Ace contributing at all) and that sadly hasn’t happened enough. But good for the league that Poole don’t win everything again. Well done to the Bears.

There wasn’t much passing after lap 1, a couple I think at most. But there hasn’t been in the streams I’ve watched in the last few months. Weather plays a part but not been great. I’m not a Wimborne Road hater btw. Thought Charles should have been off 4 in Heat 15 but it’s pretty immaterial anyway.

Flint guests for Riss and Scott is riding.

A North East Ambulance Service spokesperson said: "We were called to a road traffic incident this evening (12 October) at 19:38 on Dormor Way in Middlesbrough. We dispatched one ambulance crew and one patient was taken to James Cook University Hospital."

Congrats to the Pirates. For the Bears to have stood a chance over the two legs they needed a full strength team and all the riders riding well. Neither happened and Poole were too strong.

Don’t hold out much hope for Redcar in either home or away legs of this fixture. Obviously hope I’m wrong but can only see a comfortable win for Poole. So much so I doubt I’ll pay for either stream. I’ve not been to a live meeting since the British GP in June and watched most Redcar meetings via stream but missed a few and it’s not bothered me that much. I think the constant guests, lack of continuity of meetings have taken their toll on my enjoyment. Hopefully by the time March comes I might get the urge to go back.

Didn’t watch this one but the meeting the week previous against Oxford was very poor racing too. Cant remember a worthwhile pass and the gates were so uneven. Well done to the Pirates.

The Bears operated Ryder replacement, of course it’s true.

Zischke in for Morris. No chance it’s on tomorrow given the forecast.

Still clashes with Bake off. Will speedway ever learn.

Never mind the England game, it clashes with Bake off so I won’t be watching.

Buffered for 3 heats, went off before Heat 8 but seems to be back now (for tractor racing). I’ve messaged them. To be fair there are normally no issues.

Very entertaining watch that.

Can’t beat a wangle on a Friday! Decent chance you will see a Tigers win either way.

Looking at the two teams you have to think Glasgow will fancy their chances of an away win. R/R for Riss and a reserve replacing Mulford.

Tremendous win for the Bears. Guests were great scoring 14 between them (Riss and Mulford scored 19 between them earlier in the season so not all down to the guests). Charles and Danny were superb (best I’ve seen Danny ride for the Bears) and Ace had another good night. Heat 13 was a great race.

Ahem….

Given the Bears guests contributed only 7 points it’s very surprising that the Bears won. Couple of uncharacteristic rides from Lawson early on and an ef for a Kerr obviously crucial factors but we deserve a bit of luck going our way for a change. Well done to Ace, more of that please. Loss of Riss will more than likely scupper Bears season still but nice to beat Poole for once. Decent enough meeting with a few good races and came across well on BSN.

Losing both Edwards and now Riss is a massive blow to Redcars season. You need a lot of luck with injuries and sadly for the Bears this hasn’t happened.

Bandits deserved winners even without their top 2 riders. Excellent guest in Howarth and the rest of the top 5 all chipped in. Home team attacked the track much more. For the Bears it was meeting lost when King fell at the front of Heat 3 and IRR went into operation, but hugely disappointed in the overall team display, particularly Riss who threw away points in numerous rides. Hope Danny hasn’t damaged his wrist too badly. Not an enjoyable night from a Bears perspective .

Racing has improved but only from a Berwick perspective. Bears going backwards in most races.
