Oxford Cheetahs 2024

[Sings4Speedway 3,247]

NL pass looks great value and setting the pricing bar for the product there. If i was local id be tempted by the 10 match pass also, pick the best/most evenly matched visitors across both leagues. 

[Bagpuss 10,794]

The 28 match ultimate pass looks like good value too at sixteen quid a meeting.

Well done Oxford. Good price for all your ticket packages...

Now normally I'd say it's far too early to be thinking of team chances. But for May Oxford will be 1.97 below the limit. 

They could drop Henry Atkins for a rider up to 6.25, but would need to make the change before Boughen & Killeen get new averages (no massive rush yet) but they've shown with Klindt, they're not afraid of making tough decisions.

Or they could fit in Erik Riss for Jenkins?

Oxford
Sam Masters	9.05
Scott Nicholls	8.54
Erik Riss	7.68
Cameron Heeps	4.77
Henry Atkins	4.28
Ashton Boughen	2.00
Luke Killeen	2.00
Total	38.32

Remember, averages include the BSN Series this season, so rider averages will update quicker than we’ve been used to.

22nd May is the earliest Boughen & Killeen would get new figures.

No offence to Jenkins. He's a good talent, got a bright future ahead of him, but I'd bite your hand off if you offered me Riss over him. Riss and Heeps at 3 and 4 looks much stronger than Heeps and Jenkins. Needs to be done before 22nd of May.

Didn't think that would fit, but 37.99 JUST!

Listening to the podcast, Riss didn't seem that interested in riding in the Championship. Sounded like it depends who is asking rather than him looking for someone. However sure a Weds night club would prob be the best option for him if he did decide on doing this league as well.

I get 38.32, but the limit goes up to 38.5 in May, so it fits.

I used Riss' converted Prem average as that is now his "most recent" average.

It is a ridiculous rule, ignoring his last 20 Champ meetings, because he's ridden ONE Prem meeting!

You are right, I'd forgotten about that part of the rule..

After last night's performances how about Riss & Jack Smith replacing Heeps & Atkins?

Oxford     
Sam Masters 9.05
Scott Nicholls 8.54
Erik Riss 7.68
Jordan Jenkins 5.89
Jack Smith 3.00
Ashton Boughen 2.00
Luke Killeen 2.00
Total    38.16

Only Masters and Nicholls winning races in the top 5 is unsustainable.

[Hilly 173]

With Cook signing for the Spires, is it all just waiting for the averages to fall right and move Riss to the Cheetahs and then use the points available to sign somebody for the Spires?

Would Jody Scott be ready for a number 7 berth? Would be a long tail but the team has been built poorly imo leaving little room to manoeuvre.

Not long now until Ashton and Luke get proper averages though, which I can only assume would put oxford well over the limit then. Unless you drop them too (which would be harsh) or use the King's Lynn method of cancelling meetings to delay the average change...

Erik for Jordan next month would fit just, so unless that's the plan I don't see what else they're gonna do.

1. Sam Masters

2. Henry Atkins

3. Cameron Heeps

4. Erik Riss

5. Scott Nicholls

6. Ashton Boughen

7. Luke Killeen

Looks a lot better imo. Personally I'd drop Henry if I could, don't rate him much, particularly away from home, but can't see any logical moves, perhaps he will score better when he drops to reserve.
