Bowes doesn’t need replaced, there’s a good rider in there with time. Only Batchelor does, get him replaced now before the Edinburgh meeting.

Bring in a scoring number 1 and we will slowly become quite competitive this season, i’m sure of it. Decent racing, and wins at home is least we ask for, not every season can be a play off team.
Antti was unfortunate today with 2 tumbles but rode very well, Tate likewise seems to have the speed but can’t get out of the gate.

There was a decent number 1 in attendance today, same he was shipped off to Berwick 🫣

And replace him with who???

Retaining batch can be the wrong decision but that doesnt mean dropping cookie was wrong also.

The antics cookie pulled last season were out of order and not acceptable. Letting your team know you aren't turning up 20 minutes prior to a meeting starting isn't acceptable. Not being contactable through the whole of winter whilst you're supposed to be preparing for the new season is not acceptable.

It's clear batch isn't a no.1 and his spitting the dummy attitude isn't acceptable but cookie can be just as bad. 

You can only go off what you know and the promotion knew that batch attended every meeting without fail.

I get that, probably should have stayed clear of both. Not many number 1’s available now though, a few of them have dropped the league in the past few seasons to go onto bigger and better things.

As it stands who is available?, Palm Toft? Schlein? New 5 point rider? Someone in the 3.liga?
Nicholls seemed keen on the idea at the Waverley night in March, guessing he’s no where near fit yet though.

Names please

Anybody,fans won’t pay good money for him to cruise around and probably earning reasonable money for no effort.Would like to know his wage today for 5points.

One thing I will say Watching speedway in Poland while some meeting are one-sided you don’t see any rider pulling out of a race when  he’s not in the points unless it’s EF.Dont think he would be in the next week.

Well done the Bears, your guys had far less issues with the track than some of the Worky riders who didn't adapt early enough to a track which had more dirt on than last week.

There had been some additional material added during the week with more watering and working. Last week the track was that hard the wonder wheel was only scratching the surface.

The Bears have a strong team this season and will be strong contenders for all 3 trophies. 

Thanks to all the Bears fans who made the trip, your guys are making a habit of winning at Northside 😃

It was at that Scott Nicholls night in the Waverley and he was cheekily asked about one day riding for the club, he was very complimentary about the set-up and promotion etc. and loves coming up here to walk the fells.

He said something along the lines of he loves it at Oxford but never say never if the opportunity came up.

Probably just being nice, but not one to rule out. Shame he might not be back until July or so.

Sore weekend for Workington.

yeah been hard watch Friday/Saturday. Quite a young team some finding their feet and form,  the Captain has gone missing when he has been needed to set a good example, provide sound advice and lead from the front.
