REDCAR CUBS TO TAKE A SABBATICAL?
By Redcar Speedway ~ Friday 9th January 2009
The consortium running the Redcar Speedway Club based at the South Tees Motorsport Park at South Bank, Middlesbrough have re-assessed their position with regard to entering a Redcar Cubs team in the new professional third tier of British Speedway - the National League. As such they will not enter a team for the 2009 campaign but do not count out such an operation in future seasons.

The club will continue to have a commitment to youth development through impending training schools at the circuit; junior second halves after the Redcar Bears Premier League fixtures plus the possibility of mini challenge matches at home and away on an occasional basis.

Explained club boss Brian Havelock: 'We have decided to focus all our attention on a successful campaign for the Redcar Bears in the Premier League. We have assembled a competitive team but know in the current economic climate that we must not over-stretch our budget. We will review the circumstances in 2010.'
