rodhiles 1 Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) Well haven’t posted on here since 2008 ish!! So happy to have Oxford Cheetahs back. Ignore the muppets on the Oxford mail comments we seem to have our fair share of doom and gloomers in Oxford! Seems like everyone has something to protest about these days. Roll on March and good on ya Steve Edited November 11, 2021 by rodhiles 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roll on March and good on ya Steve Similar timeline for me since last posting about Oxford on here. Great to see the club back and lets hope the fans have retained their enthusiasm for the sport. That plus an opportunity to introduce new fans is hopefully a recipe for success. Good luck to Jamie in making it happen All the hard work from so many people has paid off Edited November 12, 2021 by Chris Brown spelling 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghosty 500 Posted November 12, 2021 Come on then Oxford can you name some riders please. I know one local sponsor that would be keen to see Nathan Stoneman in the line-up, what would be his average & would he be good enough? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Decent shout for a reserve position, falls off a bit but that's more due to 100% effort and a bit of over enthusiasm IMO. Type of rider most fans will enjoy watching, living locally too can only be good for PR and everyone likes a local youngster in the team Personally if he fits and the promotion want to use him I'd have Connor Coles in too, another tryer and also has Oxford connections 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cliffeboy 577 Posted November 12, 2021 So I am now going to follow Oxford as my new club after the closing of Somerset. Couldn’t bring myself to follow any of the other Championship clubs so a new club is right up my street. Double bonus it’s a lot closer. Still a good hours run for me, but hey, speedway again, can’t wait. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nathan's had a couple of cracks at CL and never really cut it consistently. No doubting he can be quick but often over rides and i think he has his own business now? Also no idea on his recovery from the multiple broken bones he got on IOW? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While Stoneman has never shown much promise at Champ level, he's only ridden 21 matches over 3 seasons, so not had much of a chance really! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
