    Best team one for once the reserves done there job between them scoring more than there average gilkes was very good but if you have a no1 who can’t win a race and barker riding like he’d never seen the place you have no chance no point moaning about team changes he ain’t going to do it what’s the point well done Oxford best no 1 I’ve seen here all season and a good bloke hope you have a great rest of the season.

    To be fair Worrall has been poor all season and tonight scoring 7 points from 6 rides at home is shocking off your heat leader.

    Just a thought but generally the spectator numbers needs to cover the wages for the continuation of the sport at your stadium . If you want to deny the promotion the break even figure to save yourself a fiver to keep you happy it will possibly lead to this being the last season . If you cannot afford it stay home . It will cost you more than a fiver to drive to Edinburgh Glasgow or redcar to get your speedway fix if your club cannot survive . . Try telling the supermarket you want fillet steak but only want to pay  for brisket .

    Personally I think this is a bit of a stupid statement, If the promotion can only break even by lumping £5 on the admission prices then maybe they should cut there cloth accordingly too and maybe only run NDL if they can't afford it. In times when some people have to decide between heating there home or eating meals and your going on like £5 is nothing that £5 could be vitally important to some people and if the choice was to keep a roof over my head or lose speedway then I think I know what 99% of people would choose.

  3. So Newcastle Diamonds live on, well for one night only! Redcar have organised the tyne tees trophy with a Newcastle "select" Diamonds side on the 24th March I think. A good gesture by Redcar and hopefully a few Diamonds fans may make the trip down the a19. No idea who is riding for Newcastle though...

    That's cos they were planning to keep all HLs from last season so we would have needed a reserve on that kind of average.

    So looking like if limit didn't get dropped prob same team as last year but swap Drew out for Jack. 

    It's a shame especially having had a season under his belt you'd imagine he would be one of the better 2 pointers next season. Although I'm sure with injuries etc he'll get a spot somewhere.

    Not sure on availability but I wondered whether they would keep Ablitt as other teams  had “weaker” 2 pointers & go for a rider up to 6.10 which would allow Zach back at Reserve. But I imagine they are going for 2 stronger reserves

    Interview in this weeks speedway star saying he only has a NDL spot to start the season with. Apparently he was in Poole's plans until the limit got dropped and when he started ringing other teams they were already sorted.

    You can’t see anything out of those glasses and why ? He isn’t going to have any home track advantage !.

    Although he really should be adding to it this season, plenty of talent but too many ‘F’ and ‘EF’s’, hope he makes it to that ‘next step’ this year.

    My only concern with him would be in the past he has decided to take a break from speedway and then came back you just have to hope he's 100% committed.

    I have nothing against the lad because he always seemed a nice guy but i'm glad about this news as i think there are better riders on lower averages (Dan Gilkes springs to mind if he's injury free) along with young Danish and Swedish riders on 5-point averages (such as Kevin Juhl Pedersen if he's available.)

    I personally like Hume as a rider but the one thing I've noticed when you watch him is he seems to lock the bike up loads through the corners

  8. This just shows the complete lack of contempt the promoters have for fans you know the actual people who without us there would be no speedway. 

    False advertising by both teams knowing full well Lambert wouldn't be there everyone in the stadium should just ask for a refund and go home disgusting off everyone involved.
