Let’s hope it can be sorted and that the Diamonds run this year. Sport can’t afford to lose more tracks and any sport is better with local rivalries.

Jordan Stewart & Erik Riss confirmed tonight. Very happy with that.

Personally don’t think that 2 x 2 pointers is the way to go, but given how the promotion team managed to get the line up we ended last season with, we should trust them to get a good team sorted.

Which one? The original one or the second one? Edit - given the latest rumours I think this might have needed a

Updated press release, that’s why I posted the news.

Doesn’t say that on the press release.

First 2 signings will be announced on Saturday night.

Agree - Wright, Riss, Stewart, Andersen and 3 others, would be fine by me.

On BBC Tees today Jitendra said he hoped to be in a position to have the full line up sorted within a week of the AGM.

Looks like another Teesside takeover of Tyneside if the rumours are true. Personally think it would be good news for Newcastle.

Just my personal opinion. Both tracks are what they are.

Obviously very pleased as a Redcar fan with the win but the Diamonds put up an excellent fight and it got too close for comfort at the end. The big guns pulled it out when needed but the contribution of Jordan Stewart was critical. To score 9 points on a track he’s struggled massively on before was a massive boost and his Heat 14 win was vital. Pleased for the promotion after the difficult few seasons we’ve had. Glad I watch my regular speedway at Redcar.

Unfair. Barker rode really hard. Was harshly excluded (Phillips admitted he locked up) and fell giving it maximum effort.

Get in! UTB!!!

Too much negativity on here. I'm thinking of driving up now.

Congratulations to the Lions. Fitting that the team who have been the best team all season are the league champions.

Can’t do next Sunday either (although Monday is a possibility). Might this mean we can weaken the team and get Ellis to guest?

No worries THJ, had me doubting I’d called “our” league the right name for a moment when I read your initial response.

Lost me there I'm afraid.

The Bears website said that Wright (and therefore I assume Ully) will be riding as Championship takes priority on a Sunday.

Bears website confirms that Charles Wright will be riding for Redcar on Sunday but doesn't say if Ellis still guests in replace of MPT.

May dust off the old RAC road map, yes.

Blaming me for what Mrs Yearbyred said? I agree with you about my boyish good looks!

Hope the weather is kinder next weekend (assuming the provisional date stays), couldn't make it tonight but may venture up next weekend. Last time I was there, Bobby Beaton had a cracking meeting, does he still ride?
