Can read the article here on the demo pages, it is really just what JD said in his interview already. https://reader.exacteditions.com/issues/157512/spread/3 John Campbell did say all the Championship promoters will do all they can to get all 9 teams back to tapes in 2027. A couple of Premiership promotors are still not aligned with the rest of the promotors it seems, no prizes for guessing who they are!

It was the tactical substitution that lost the Cheetahs the aggregate point, it's such a cr_p rule should be dropped.

Judging from Cairns post match comments there were significant track issues, seemed to be OK at the start, but it went off by half-way. Will was riding the wide line through turn 1/2 , then after track grade/water Cairns has a look at 1/2 before his third heat (heat 8)and then rides an inside line and comes third. I'm no track prep expert but I do know about watering and to me it looked like track prep started too late, watering was only skin deep. Plenty of unwanted action in turn 1/2 tonight, Loftus looked concussed, surprised there weren't more injuries, riders lifting, must be a few bent bikes. Not a great advert for Wimborne Road, but a good result for the Pirates.

Nobody was beating Pickering so wouldn't have made a lot of difference

My understanding is you have to get on the FIM list, so by doing this upcoming 125 meeting, the track is on the list, then in the future ( if we have one 🤔 ) the FIM or the track owner could choose to be put forward for a bigger meeting.

Yes I believe so but are there many that Northside would have a chance of staging ?

But hasn't he been put away again 🤔

Think you will find only one set of supporters are interested in the pairs, won't be many travelling fans on a Wednesday nite

'Floodlights at a speedway stadium are not automatic..' I thought they would be automatic and be going on then off and then on again lol. Good job we are behind the times with manual ones.

You've got floodlights 😜

Twice so far this season so you're clearly rattled by it. Just for the record though, You can quote it another 100 times if you like but at the end of the day it still won't matter how many times you ask me to reconisder my pre-season predictions because I'm still not going to tell you everything that you want to hear and that's something you need to get your head around tbh. Barely anyone rated Leicester on the British threads and I said pre-season that they're the dark horses and they've won some silverware, You don't see me quoting members pre-season posts who thought the opposite to me and that's because I can accept that others had a different opinion to me.

Was a lot better last week when it was hotter weather ironically. Berwick riders said it was good along with their TM. Maybe they got too complacent with cooler weather 🤷‍♀️ Edit - next week will be interesting with partial solar eclipse happening between 6-8pm. So light, dark, light, dark. Unless they just start at 8pm?

There should be a minimum standard for state of tracks, that there was god awful. 4 guys looking to ride within 1 yard of the white line or you’d go backwards. Weather hasn’t been that Hot for it to be in that state. If there was a minimum standard you’d hardly see a meeting round that place.

Exactly ive no idea what the issue is missed a meeting 7 day ban simple as that.

Did one of them not complete the meeting

Why on earth did they not put Anders Rowe in heat 15, he’d scored 11 from 4 and is the in form rider. Possibly cost them the bonus point?

Could a track run future FIM meetings without running in a league ?

A member of the Oxford track staff actually confirmed this to me 🤣

Heat 8 delayed due to cat on the greyhound track,,,,waiting for you to say its faster than Tofty..

Utter awful watch this, move off the white line on the concrete you go backwards. Hagon clearly miles slower than Dan there, Dan moved a touch off the kerb and loses several bikes lengths.

Oxford meeting last week. Heard it from two different people who never get stuff wrong.

Might need some context fella

So riders get a banned for going to get a scan for potential injuries or illness but riders are now doing drugs at meetings and getting away with it? What an absolute joke Uk speedway is these days.

Down again.

Doesn't sound not promising though
