You would think an air fence thats 100 percent fixed down with no movement in it would see riders bouncing back into the track way more than they do now. It would be interesting to see if the number of injuries have decreased or increased since introducing air fences as well.

Very fair and objective assessment of last night's meeting  thank you.

A lot will depend on what Musielak turns up. The one who scored 17 on his first visit here last year, or the one who scored 2 on his second! That just about sums his last couple of years up over here. Wildly inconsistent. 

Dropped in on my way back home from a week in Hayle. More incredible progress since last there, new Bar, new Small Stands. Massive Crowd compared to early last season when I last visited. Nothing wrong with Track, was windy so they had watered it, came ideal by heat 5 or so.  Home riders attacked it, Slick Sam Masters did what he used to do at Monmore when it was wet, - went missing started moaning - rest of Oxford team followed him Some good racing later on, with Barker a proper 3rd heat leader at home and Joe T  in there and Klima excellent last night, if they could find an adequate replacement for Tobias, they won't be far off the Play Offs. Someone mentioned Bowtell but I'd imagine they would want some one better Away where points will be key. Another amazing leap forward from the SW outpost. My next speedway sojourn will no doubt be to Northampton.   

It really is time that Harkess realises that he should step aside for a younger more savvy individual (Scott Wilson perhaps?) to team manage home meetings. He has previous history of such blunders and last night's howler probably cost us a home win. He also rarely takes the opportunity when he wins the toss, to take the option of choosing gate positions in heat 15 against Glasgow, which is an advantage, he seems blissfully unaware of. Time to gracefully step out of the limelight Alex😐

48-42 to Lynn
