Fingersfin 181 Posted July 20, 2023 We have an entertaining team who won't win the league with the current line up. Getting new riders in seems very difficult these days. So we will just have to make do with thrilling speedway for another year, there's worse places to be. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something I think a lot of teams are lacking, we were there for the taking last night and The Tigers tried to pounce but The Cheetahs were too quick I'll admit that I thought we'd gone to top heavy in the team building. I'm happy to be wrong. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm happy to be wrong. I thought you went too top heavy too tbh. Way more than we ever did in last 2 seasons! But JJ and Atkins have done really well. I'll start worrying if and when you beat us on aggregate though. Last time at Poole we won by 14 and last time at Oxford we lost by 14, so getting really close! The meeting at Poole in August will be interesting for the BP. Big crowd I reckon! Anyway Gaz will start moaning in a min as not talking about Glasgow .. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I was there what a fantastic night but also sad they could never defend those titles 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only slight thing/moan this season is I thought the music that is played before and inbetween races is a little sleepy and not very upbeat like other stadiums. It seems to appeal to the fans near us who are always dancing to it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clubs only had to fit in 8 home league matches, so I wouldn't say the cut-off point was too early. I'm sure the plan would be for clubs to race their 4 play-off matches over the first 3 weeks of September so the final can be on the last week of September / first week of October?

Hilly 172 Posted July 21, 2023 Cracking meeting all round, Oxford digging deep again to come away with solid win with the bonus still up for grabs. Glasgow must view this as a missed opportunity really, it does look as though they just cannot do well enough away from home to win a final this season. Yet again, sublime stuff from Nicholls, heat 7 again this week showing team riding skills of the highest order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
