Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted April 14, 2022 With the first meeting going quite smoothly, according to reports, it’s time for the big boys to show up at Cowley. Pirates are a little stronger that Scunthorpe and this meeting should be a cracker. Oxford riders will now have a practice session and a meeting under their belt, so a little home advantage. I doubt any Poole rider has ridden at Oxford? So it will take a ride or two to feel their way around and get the setup right. Think it will be a close one, 4 points either way. It was reported that many of the 2000 tickets available have already been sold so Poole fans, get your ticket now as turning up on the day might see you being turned away. A look at the ticket site already shows tickets inside the stadium have sold out and only outside terrace tickets are left. https://oxfordspeedway.club/tickets/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) They must have both been starting out in the sport in their late teens/early 20s. Not likely to be of much use to them. But it’s the same for all teams this year. The shape isn’t too dissimilar to Wimborne Road, a little smaller perhaps.

How much was getting used to the track, rider rustiness I don't know & yes Pirates will all be new to the track cos even if the likes of King av been there before the shape as been changed. Still, Pirates win by 48-42 me thinks More confident than I but reckon it’s going to be very close. Fantastic it’s sold out again so quickly. I really hope the Oxford promotion all the success possible. Except when they are riding against us! Fans of both clubs knew it would sell out so if they hadn’t got their tickets, tough luck. Will we see ticket touts outside Cowley next week? There’s a thought! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nathan Stoneman riding in his place Bloody hell. Makes them far stronger. Best wishes to Josh for a speedy recovery. That’s it. Oxford to win now.. In truth I have no idea whether it strengthen or weakens Oxford. Edited April 14, 2022 by Steve Shovlar 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
