Essex 67 Posted August 3, 2022 No wonder speedway is losing support when these things happen you want all teams to be competitive but only winner is other teams riders making a few quid imagine in football your star player is busted you just borrow another centre forward each week still I love speedway and if this is a way for it to continue so be it.

Hilly 170 Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) Great effort by the Cheetahs, forcing Poole into using a tac sub at home with a weakened team ( a fully fit Thomas scores more than 2). 1 hour ago, Steve Shovlar said: Hardly any Oxford fans present. Only up the road but if there were a handful there they were not visible. They missed a great meeting and their team did them proud. Not everybody wears team colours or hats, unless you asked everybody on entry, how do you know how many away fans were there. I was there, did you see me??? There was also a meeting taking place at Oxford tonight. Either way, was a decent looking size crowd, who witnessed a good meeting.

Perhaps because a lot of Oxford fans were supporting the Chargers who were riding at home tonight. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair play to him but crass hypocrisy for him to blame pLymouth or anyone else for bending and manipuating rules to suit. If Lawson hadn't taken MP-T out either that would have been one less Guest for PLymouth, having said that so dangerous was the move he, Middleditch, would have been resorting to a Guest for sure as Lawson would have severly damaged himself and not MPT.

Thomas may get more than 2 but just coming back from injury maybe not and it looked prior to the meeting R/R improved the team, Heeps was poor which also didn't help.As for the crowd I think you should be able to tell who supports the away team whether they are in team colours or not.

Middlo isn't worried about Plymouth or any team, he knows we are capable of beating anybody, he was just making the point that Kennett should have been replaced not gone all season using guests . You seem to suggest Lawson took MPT out on purpose, I completely disagree with that, it was a racing incident..
