Personally I think its a mental thing, he has been a top rider in the Champs for years but seems like he'll be never make the breakthrough in our top league, same with Ritchie.

Don't think it's just that tbh. Have seen what a BV fan has called him and Richie on a FB group. Not sure if others do it as well? Also another poster it may have been Tsuami but not 100% sure said about being treated better by Poole fans? And I think Phil The Ace said something about how he should move away from BV for his mental health..? Although with only five other teams, not much choice! Anyway good to see Oxford in same league as Poole and talking about having former GP riders, so could well be Scott Nicholls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,362 Posted November 11, 2021 Good to see speedway back at Oxford. It will be a good opportunity to see some speedway next year. I'm surprised about Wednesdays though. I was expecting Fridays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,784 Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) Yep huge congratulations to all at Oxford for achieving something which must have seemed a million miles away not that long ago. Particularly pleased for @Matt Davis who will be able to take his kids there as he went as a lad, dream coming true stuff for him and his family Edited November 15, 2021 by Bagpuss 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great track, seen some fantastic racing there, definitely going there for away meetings next season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HGould 2,213 Posted November 11, 2021 Great news and at least a trip down the M40 or old A40 if quieter if Brummies don't make it to tapes. Jamie Courtney is a sound appointment doing great things at Berwick on a sensible budget. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
