RR probably strengthens the Cheetahs given how inconsistent Newman has been. Home win and possibly a spin for Atkins late on depending how much badgering Mike gives Crump. Killeen scored what I expected tonight (0 points) you can't compare racing against a very weak (4 reserves) NL side to Glasgow possibly the most solid Champ side. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Debbi 111 Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) 5 hours ago, Technik said: I think the Referee was correct to put blue out in the first he lifted going into turn one & the second incident the riders clashed out of the start & did not get apart unsatisfactory start was a correct call. we all slam Referees but they have to make a decision on what is in front of them, It's very easy to say from here on turn 1 it's this or on the back straight I saw this but the Referee sits in the same position at almost every track. Have to disagree with that, I was sat opposite the tapes (a floor below the ref) and both incidents were for the same reason by the same rider. The way Nicol lined up he was going to go into another rider by the angle he was at both incidents started before the first bend and therefore should have been all 4 back or Nicol excluded both times. The second incident Nicol got his foot peg caught because of the way he was angled, so was the cause of the accident. Edited June 23, 2022 by Debbi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The racing tonight was brilliant, the track was well prepared despite temperatures of about 28 degrees, with no dust until heat 14. A good crowd and a great atmosphere, it was simply exciting - like speedway should be but at most tracks it is not. To the person whinging about the £1.00 booking fee. I would like to inform you that 2 weeks ago the meeting was cancelled after heat 4 due to rain and guess what, the promotion gave everyone free admission tonight. I do not think many tracks would do that. Oh, and parking at Unipart is free with a free shuttle bus. But hey -ho you can’t please every body all of the time. Personally, I’ just delighted to see Oxford running again after 15 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

auntie doris 2,339 Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) Very enjoyable warm evening with bro from Australia, 4 Aussies in Oxford team, and bro from Swindon. Some good racing and big crowd. Good, clean facilities. Like the car parking, got bus there, walked back. They should take cash on gate though, would get more fans. Good luck Oxford.

It’s a Workington fan that has a dislike for all things Glasgow Brennan and Basso are progressing very nicely as far as we are concerned his opinion is as relevant to us as Boris is to the rail workers. And he also gets very easily confused as you can see. Edited June 23, 2022 by Gazc 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noelinho 906 Posted June 23, 2022 1 hour ago, mc131 said: Ridiculous anywhere that doesn't take cash. Given the age of speedway fans, I’d agree. But equally ridiculous other places don’t take contactless. Speedway is the only place I ever need to use cash. A shame the Tigers missed out on a few extra points last night, but I always think any points on your travels are good points. Good to see Danton scoring well last night - shows a lot of different riders contributing at different times. Shows good potential. But anyone expecting Ulle to match his average from last year is in cloud cuckoo land for me. He’s a great leader for the team, he’s a good racer, the fans love him… but his average was very high. We all knew it. It was mentioned in the thread before he was re-signed. No regrets, he’s still an important part of the team, glad we’ve got him, but I don’t think the Tigers’ management expected him to match his average. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fromafar 10,316 Posted June 23, 2022 10 hours ago, SilentLurker said: Another disappointing away heat 15 for the tigers. Could point fingers at more than one rider but that is speedway sometimes. Well done to Hume, excellent performance all night from him and was unlucky against Ruml who always seems to improve as the meeting progresses. On a side note, very sneaky from Oxford not letting you pay cash or card at the gate. This forces you to pay online which includes a £1 admin fee. Can be difficult for elderly people to pay this way via the QR code. Surely they have cash turnstile.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
