7 in Prem last month and never less than paid 8 in 5 previous Cowley appearances so I think we all expected more from him.

Great to see Dan and Joe thriving after the rotten treatment they got last year. Fantastic climax, milking the VAR for all it was worth. But as a Cheetahs fan the Oxford line up looks a bit flabby.

And there'll be even more headroom when Janowski gets a real average

Birmingham Monday on the way up, Oxford on the Sunday afterwards on the way home and Sheffthorpe on the blank Thursday to make 7 meetings in 7 days.
Go on British weather I dare you to foil my plans!

2 hours ago, chun said:how much longer will nicholls be able to trade off that cheap 5.1 average? I assume that was based on last year?
I think it is now a rolling average, but that means most of the matches are from 2022 as he didn't have a Prem team in 2023.

6 hours ago, Roger Jacobs said:Wrong. He scored 15+1 from 6 (and KL lost). Obviously, he didn't do it at Birmingham, against this Leicester team.
No he's correct the match you are referring to was on 30 July.
But Laguta rode (for Peterborough) against Leicester on 7 Sept scoring a max.
But it is also worth noting that Laguta'a away scores were stunningly unimpressive, including 4 at Leicester losing to Sedgmen and Allen

26 minutes ago, crescent girl said:He may have to wait out the 28 days granted for the facility. Which only started last night (the first effective meeting) after so many rain-offs.
But he's in a named 7 and has an average that fits, perhaps he could guest for himself ;<)

Looks like Covatti is planning to ride on Sunday in the Itallian Championship round, so may be back sooner than expected.

Are you saying he's an incomplete novice?

9 hours ago, chunky said:So, Monday, 5 October, 1970, at Tilehurst for a Challenge Match.
Jessup won from Sims, Hammond fell, and Vernam packed up. Reading beat Eastbourne 45-33.
But Racers overcame that 5-nil reverse and won thanks to a Dickie May maximum - and a new hero was born.

2 hours ago, chunky said:That's impressive... Who are they?
Laurie Simms, John Hammond, Mike Vernam, Dave Jessup

I think all four of mine are (the oldest is 86)

6 minutes ago, mikebv said:For the aggregate bonus point, should the return match only take the result after 14 heats ?
In this instance, it might not matter, but in others it may..
In a sport with such home team advantage, the extra heats (up to 5 if called off after Ht 10), could make a big difference....
That would make it possible to lose both matches and still get the bonus point!

2 hours ago, stevehone said:in this competition the teams are only allowed 1 GP rider.
strength in depth is not what GB have at the moment
But they still qualified for the final and got a bronze medal last year, so you can hardly argue it's not worth competing.

I imagine a lot of us have strong opinions on drug taking, drug testing and the disciplinary process, but they are best aired in the generally away from a single specific case - particularly one about which the facts are not yet known/in the public domain

20 minutes ago, TheReturn said:Not sure if this was the late 80s or 90s, but Frenchman Thierry Hilaire for Long Eaton. Came in with bit of a fanfare, and at times we were not even sure if he knew how to turn the bike. Don't think he lasted long. I think he rode for another British club after us, with similar results.
Yeah, positively terrifying to watch.
1989..Long Eaton..10..35..12..0..1.37
1990..Milton K..27..102..83..11..3.68
1992..Sheffield..6..20..3..0..0.60 -

Riding in the Polish Golden Helmet

9 minutes ago, ch958 said:what does this mean then?
It looks to me like an attempt to weaken the link between between the site and its (now) former usage as a speedway stadium, with the longer term aim of expunging it completely.

55 minutes ago, Moranboys said:Apologies for ranting on but also,even if the meeting goes ahead,correct me if I'm wrong but don't we pay our money to be entertained for 15 heats,not watching follow my leader for five heats until the track dries out and then hope for ten heats of racing?
That's a perfect description of Oxford v Birmingham, after heavier than forecast rain the match went ahead and the first (of many) passes wasn't until heat 6, a match well received by almost everybody who attended.
