STEVEHOLS54 380 Posted December 29, 2021 Does anyone have an idea on Oxfords last 2 riders ??. Not being mischevious, but don't suppose they are holding fire to see how the Poole situation pans out ?? Most others seem sorted. Edinb/Poole we know the not naming is due to keeping quiet until they know stadium situations are clarified, and Birmingham came late to the party so have had to a degree had to sweep up riders not commited elsewhere already. Anyone out there maybe with some possible inside info ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STEVEHOLS54 380 Posted January 4, 2022 So does anyone have any idea of Oxford's last 2 riders ?? Looking at the final GSA's and whats left I can only come up with maybe Crump ?? and one of Ablitt/Mulford as maybe just squeezing in after taking the 2.5% UK riders discount into effect. Unless I have missed someone. Still have this feeling that Poole & Oxford will snap one or the other of the 2 promising 17 year olds. Also considering I believe both live in the South. Does anyone have any knowledge on what may be happening on those last 2 slots ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May also give us a clue to who Poole will have maybe as there number 7. Will be good to see how the 7 look compared to Poole as will be good meetings between those 2 I feel this season.

foreverblue 6,081 Posted January 6, 2022 Josh Macdonald and Dillon Ryml are the last. Two. Good team with strength in depth. I will definitely be going there next season for Pirates away fixtures, great track, always enjoyed my visits there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaizer 2,856 Posted January 6, 2022 Looks a cracking team that. One to beat IMO. 2 top heat leaders, strength n depth, heeps and Newman potentially on a snip of average if can find old form and potential in ruml and Thomas. Macdonald never impressed me that much but 3rd season now has to be improvement there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiveusaB 1,130 Posted January 6, 2022 Looks a reasonable side....not League winning IMO....the only one that I can see improving his average is possibly Jack Thomas....(wish we could've kept him) Batchelor is very hot/cold....Nicholls is great at this level, but not getting any younger and may struggle if he doesn't make starts.... Good luck to Oxford....great to see a 'new' speedway venture, instead of the usual doom and gloom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck to Oxford....great to see a 'new' speedway venture, instead of the usual doom and gloom. Batchelor is more reliable at this level and I can't see Nicholls level dropping. Heep is on a very low average and Thomas has a lot of potential. It seems a very well balanced team, play off material in my view. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,246 Posted January 6, 2022 Easy play off team and looked it prior to the last two signings who should both do alright at reserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
