Not sure all the fans would want to hear it in any case?!

As far as I know, the financial troubles started and ended with Boothby. The speedway itself was always solvent, only impacted by Boothby taking many out of the club. He's no longer involved, with Courtney, Austin and Timmo now at the helm. The speedway side of the business makes money, attracts good crowds and could afford it.... the big IF is how much is now being paid to the stadium owners to be able to operate (without the greyhounds to pay a cut). The Oxford Stadium website seems to suggest positive movements though, posting about a 'new era'... https://oxford-stadium.co.uk/

Someone told me his spokes still need another meet to bed in, brand new last home ride ,ya got to look at the bright side can only get better

Have the recent financial issues been resolved enough to allow that to happen Bojangles ?

Oxford stepping up again? There's no way they will run in three leagues again, but could drop the Championship perhaps? Especially if the Championship is going to be a diluted product. Peter Shroeck has been very vocal about starting to build a team early for 2027...and they only time he's ever mentioned problems with team building before was having limited time to build a Spires team in 2024. Then again, it's Peter Shroeck so I'm not sure reading him is any easier than Dostoevsky.

If that's just the peak, is there not a chance that was because the programme overran and it was people tuning in at 10pm for the EFL highlights?

They know their future is safe.

I see. So neither of the Holders have said it publicly then ? Just promoter waffle telling the fans what they want to hear. 😉

A week before this season started. He said that he spoke to Chris Holder and Chris said if Poole ever move back up him and Jack will be there. Whether that has changed since March idk. Edit - it was on a radio interview.

Don't worry the speedway organisers won't take any notice of these, then will wonder if a date release classes with them why people aren't rushing to buy tickets

Just for Men?.... Tena Men?.... Steradent?... SAGA Holidays?.. Over 50's Life Assurance?.. Those "Cheapo Funeral" Adverts?.. Just like watching U&Alibi and C5 now.....😁 Edit. Almost forgot... Those chairs that tip you out of them.. Walk in, sit down baths .. And those trainers that you don't need to bend down to put on, or tie any laces...😀

I think it's less to do with equipment, although his is not the best, but more to do with a mental block if things are going wrong. He seems to lose his head completely, which is a shame as he's not a bad rider.

Should never be accepted. Should request the rider get a 28 day ban for withholding their services & get a guest!

Kemp is very frustrating - when on Thompson's engine at Foxhall he was superb but last night total toilet. I get that the track was balder than Right Said Fred and offered almost nothing but his gating was so bad.

The key is 2.4% share ITV4 look for 2% plus. Advertisers are generally only interested in live viewers as its assumed those that timeshift a programme fast forward through the ads. The issue is the demographics are highly unattractive for mainstream advertisers. To old, to male and to poor.

Might this see young Polish riders coming to ride in the Premiership next year to aid their development. Older supporters may remember an influx of young Swedes in 1967 with Michanek, Harryson and Holmquist all coming over

Freddie deserves a place next year. He got injured very early, he's come back, obviously in pain, a winter rest and he could be back where he was....maybe not world champ material but well capable of being a spoiler and win a GP or two.

I now fully understand some of the criticism from some Leicester supporters about Drew Kemp. You can excuse riders having an absolute stinker of a meeting (every rider has them) if they’re seen as still making an effort, but twice last night he just gave up whilst at the back. That would do my head in if he was in my team. His attitude is poor.

According to Stewart's post match interview a rider who shall remain anonymous (but easy to guess) refused to come out for another ride which led to Joe Thompson having to take three rides on the trot.

We've seen it for sure but he was racing for Birmingham and King's Lynn at the time. Birmingham were a mess and most top riders do seem to have a problem with the King's Lynn management. Think the final decision will come down to how many points Mayfield have left to use after Woryna, King, Brennan and a strong No.6 tbh as I can't see King being released due to his off track leadership.

6 months to run a dozen meetings and still can’t field full teams due to .Afraid I disagree.

Recently ? I can imagine this being said when they still had an affiliation, but after 6 seasons at Owlerton I can't see Jack going anywhere else in a hurry (unless Sheffield fold).
