SPEEDY69

Without Nicholls I think Oxford would have lost

Some of the reactions on here are quite hysterical. A person committed a crime, was caught and served their time - happens all the time, get over it As for other speedway riders, we've had alleged and convicted corruption, multiple drug abusers, alcohol abusers, violent criminals, including murder and many of these are/were warmly thought of e.g. Lee, Morans, Ward. Very few have no victims, the drugs trade sees many deaths and abuses of people across the world. If he wants to ride speedway then I have no problem with that.

I fancy an away win here 42-48

He only scored four at Foxhall earlier this year and has not been at his best so far. Doyle is their inspirational rider so was a big miss but it's early in the season so no real damage to their playoff chances.

As some of the returnees to the league are finding out, riding in the UK is not as easy as they may have thought. Plymouth would actually give them a test and I'd love to see a top meeting there.

Probably rider availability?

This is exactly why there must be more for people to do/attract them to the meeting in person. At Foxhall the prospect of standing out in the rain for 2.5 hours on a freezing cold night would have definitely reduced the crowd when it was available to watch on TV

I won't be attending in person, not for those prices and the prospect of a weather cancellation.

Weren't people saying that all of last season as well?

I think in his last ride he was onboard a lawnmower, sounded awful. That new boy Nicholls looks a good prospect though.

Janowski and Harris were both toilet tonight at Foxhall. As predicted before the season started their team is not that great but they can turn it around - will the management give them time? Boughen did really well to win a race ahead of Doyle.

Taxi for Palm Toft

Short changed with heat 15, Scott didn't look in difficulty in heat 14. Harris and Janowski poor for Oxford.

So, no Tungate tonight, now there's a surprise!

Great to see the old boys whipping the young 'uns sometimes
