TTT 1,242 Posted March 31 Why on earth would the higher ups place Oxford to ride on a date where they wouldn't have a No.1? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They would obviously see that as Oxford's problem. This kind of thing will inevitably keep happening whilst British clubs include foreign riders. Poland pay the money, so we can't blame the riders for opting to ride there. Birmingham would have had the same problem if Pawlicki had not been injured and temporarily replaced by Scott Nicholls.

SpeedwayFan91 101 Posted April 1 Nicholls will be gone as soon as Pawlicki comes, probably Nicholls’ last meeting today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Technik 491 Posted April 1 This could go either way, Oxford of course with R/R at #1 is a big cross to bare. Milik showed good form in the SEC event at the weekend & with Nicholls at reserve it might just tip in Birmingham's favour. All things considered home win by 4 points Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,824 Posted April 1 Disappointed no Janowski or Pawlicki for my first meeting of the season. Hope the weather stays kind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,047 Posted April 1 Tough to call, Birmingham could get a 6 point win & the bonus, but I also wouldn't be surprised with an Oxford victory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
