    Crazy. What is even the point of the ban then? I suppose you can't guest but that's it! 

    It will be on your record so if you commit the same offence again the previous ban will come into consideration for the punishment.

    That's my guess anyway

    Not that it takes much, but Nicholls has outsmarted the rule makers/promotors. He technically signed for Wolves last year and has signed for Birmingham this year thus meaning he continues on a rolling average of not alot (not his Chanpionship converted) without guest bookings effecting that.

    He can continue to take guest bookings and scoring heavily without it effecting his average, picking and choosing which meetings he does to go alongside his TV work.

    He's a wily old campaigner.

    Let's hope the Club put the stream on YouTube soon.

    Some great racing, a couple of times Emil Sajfudtinov used the inside and made up so much ground. Incredible rider to watch at me local track.

    Emil and Mr Doyle had so much speed, their setups were pretty much spot on.

    hopefully the second test will prove negative 

    As far as i know

    They do one test.

    Split the sample into 2 bottles

    1 bottle is A 2nd bottle is B so unlikely to get a different result from the B sample.

    I think the B samples are kept so if the A sample was negative they can test again in future years, when different drugs come to light.

    That's why some athletes can fail tests retrospectively and have medals etc withdrawn

    Doesn't normally stop Oxford from keeping a meeting on! Early call off is actually out of character for them. :D

    Have to take your word about the rain as lots of people saying it hasn't rained there  today and also if you look up past weather in Oxford it has no rain for any time today. 

    Oxford covers a big area

    It can rain somewhere and a few hundred yards away be completely different weather.

    Last season people moaned about late call offs

    Now they moan about early ones

    Well the rain in Oxford last night was very heavy.

    This morning I was working about half a mile from the stadium and there was a couple of heavy downpours.

    Maybe they shouldve waited for you Pirate fans to brave the journey north and then called it off.

    Well having slept on it, that has to go down as the perfect, if unexpected first home meeting of the season. A huge crowd, a new look team, and an opposition touted as possible title challengers. The BSN format has no room for errors. A home defeat and you can virtually say goodbye to the trophy, so it was with some trepidation we faced our rivals up the A34.

    But any fears were soon dispersed when Lawson saw off track specialist Masters with ease and Tobias Thomsen leading Masters for half a lap. Killeen got stuck in to win heat 2, and was possibly Oxfords most impressive rider with 8 points. Best I have seen him at WR and he was quick and smooth, for a change!

    Oxfords 3 and 4 were woeful. 6 points between them but only 1 point scored against opposition riders when Heeps beat Max Perry. Boughen was tailed off on all his rides, as was Atkins. 

    These riders though are a different kettle of fish around Cowley, and Wednesday will come around quickly enough for some retribution. Though they will need a miracle to pull back 32 points.

    The new Poole track was in great shape. Bends one and two are more banked and allowed two racing lines around the boards and up the inside. Same as bends three and four with Brennan’s charging under Heeps on bend three and Benn Cook around the outside off the final bend to pass Masters.

    An impressive opener from the Pirates. But a tough meeting awaits in the return and Oxford will be gunning for revenge after the humiliation last night. Get your tickets at see you there!

    Is that Mr Benn Cook ?

    Did you enjoy those visits?
    Quite simply an exciting and entertaining team a good surface and an enthusiastic crowd (made up of all ages). 
     I personally am not a fan of gimmicks give fans a place to stand, get food and a drink, it’s the racing experience first and foremost.

    Having witnessed plenty of dross over the years  it was fantastic to  have speedway back at Sandy lane an opinion shared by many others who bring along the next generation of young fans encouraged by Oxfords admission policy.This season we have the chance to see some of the top riders again on our circuit, watch speedway almost every week . It doesn’t get much better than that.

     


     

    Not forgetting the publicity machine that Jordan Jenkins is. He puts in lots of time doing school visits etc to spread the word.

    I've noticed a fair few Poles at the first 2 meetings, so the Magic effect is working. Nobody seems to have cottoned on yet that Oxford and Wroclaw are twinned, so that could give plenty of opportunities for more publicity.

    Genuine question

     

    who is paying the riders travel for this event. for example Zach Cook from Poole to Manchester and back in his hire van eats up his 500 mile a week allowance and no chance to earn any points money. Many more examples available.

    Thinking like that is one of the reasons British Speedway is in the doldrums

    Brum showed plenty of fight at Oxford in tricky conditions. Wirral and Nichols were excellent and Cook when in front will take some Catching .  You will

    do better than some are predicting 

    Who's Wirral ?

    Surely any points he scored should be deleted as I don't think he's signed on.

    Joe Thompson will be fine at Leicester. He’ll more than likely struggle on the road again, but he’ll be far more comfortable around Leicester than he was for us at Foxhall last year. Joe rides Leicester well. 

    Haven't they altered the Leicester track yet again this winter ?

    Maybe the alterations, if there have been any, even if minor could make any of the riders struggle or maybe thrive.

    There was fence all the way down the back straight and what looks like polyfoam barriers on the bends. Albin slammed into Covatti, Covatti hit the fence and was bounced off his bike and then it looks like he was run over by Albin. I don’t see any of it being to do with the track. 

    My viewpoint, as I'm unable to Like your post is exactly the same.

    Could Albin do anything to avoid what happened ?

    I doubt it.

    Apparently it was the illegal additive he was carrying, nitros oxide, several riders allegedly put a little in the carbs before going out on track and it gave a boost to your starts

    Thats some intelligent additive that you put it in a tank of fuel and it knows to work at its maximum effect at the startline.
