Seen some very good and brave racing today. Hooky, once again, impressed. I think Hooky has to be our rider of the season so far. Hes doing it home and away for us. Batch, Hooky, and very surprisingly, vuolas done good for us today. Vuolas took a while to get going but once he did he looked very quick. Tate and Jye disappointed. They looked promising after the first heat and tailed off after. Less about comets and more about Oxford now - how does Heeps keep getting positions in Oxford. He's awful.

You can tell the difference when a Northside meeting finishes and ones that did at Derwent Park. So now everyone heads for the various car parks, there's not many on foot. But at Derwent Park traffic was held up while pedestrians, lots of them in the good times, blocked the bridge exit for vehicles (apart from the those who went to the bar of course).And DP is only 150 yards from the railway station. Northside a longer trek but well worth the effort folks. -
I was thinking the same thing, Wednesday's match doesn't have much riding on it, so wether he sits it out or tried to ride & had to pull out, wouldn't really harm Poole. But following Wednesday is a much bigger match, so could aim for that if not fit enough for Oxford.

Yeah enjoyed meeting you too - despite the dialect probs ha ,ha. Who knows maybe one day Somerset mind find a wealthy fan generous enough to get that track up and running again. -
A late post after the meeting Do Oxford fans not partake in the forum ?? Worky run the cheetahs close just missing out on the bonus point would have taken this result before the meeting. Some decent racing, gave the travelling comets fans something to cheer 😁 long weekend on the road for ridets and fans time for rest until the tiggers come to town on Saturday 3pm start

Very impressive crowd

That's the one 😂

High 60’s for the aces. 68-22 -
As the final Premiership matches are on the 4th September & the play-offs start on 8th September, there's not a lot of time for clubs to advertise their matches. I'm not suggesting they do what they did last year or Bring forward the cut-off date, but why not declare which club is racing at home on the 4 available dates? Top of the table at the end of August gets first pick, let's say that'll be Ipswich, they could pick 18th of September to guarantee the second leg at home (most clubs want that). Then go from there, once the positions are finalised, they'll know the away teams.

Worky operate with transponders as far as I know. We have had close races decided by transponders in different meetings this season. Personally I think tenths of a second rounded up or down to the nearest tenth is precise enough for speedway. Transponders are useful for extremely close finishes. Don't know anything about Worky transponder issues on friday so can't help there. -
KOC against Glasgow

Len Silver said the same about Rye House
-
Nothing really on Wednesday's match at Oxford, perhaps a rest would be better, ready for the BSN semi final against Glasgow
-
There's no more updates yet that i can see. But I feel like he is a bit similar to Lawson in that unless a doctor rules him out he'll prob try and ride.

I’ve heard they are going to chose each riders designated teams by rock, scissors, paper!

Looking at the referees score card I see that all times are recorded to the nearest tenth of a second. Does this mean that workington do not operate using transponders? Maybe the reason we had problems with Workington transponders being fitted wrongly on Friday night. -
So do we think it can be strapped up and he may be able to race?

Big blow for him and us, irreplaceable in our team. Hope it is not as bad as he seems to think.

Well thanks for the update doesn't sound like great news, hopefully nothing that pain killers can't help with. Shoulder and wrist injuries, I guess are generally more of an issue.
