  1. Yeah, I'm sure the travelling Plymouth fans would have loved to see Nicholls and Masters ram home another 5-1! I was there, and the Plymouth fans cheered Barker home in heat 15. I'm sure they were glad of something (however small) to celebrate. Maybe one of them can clarify if they are on here. It also gave the Oxford youngsters yet more track time, which can only be a good thing for the Chargers. I'm sure there are cases where heat 15s are a joke, but don't think it's the case on this occasion. Win-win in my opinion.

  4. Thankfully the fixture is listed in the Star, and there is even a column announcing the launch of the league. Hopefully the two replacements for King and Turner are of similar ability and we get an afternoon of close racing. Good luck to all those involved in this new venture .

  6. Wolves should win this. Masters, Worrall and Douglas all go well around the NSS and the track should suit Zach Cook.

  13. I must have witnessed something different, Didn't see any dirt bladed off. Tractor went round both ways moving what dirt there was to cover track evenly.

  21. 4/7 regular riders is just shocking, it’s more like some testimonial meeting. How are people supposed to get behind a ‘team’ when it’s new faces every week

  22. It still doesn't make a lot of sense, though, does it? If he was pulled out of Heat 13 with a shoulder injury, why then place him in Heat 14 as a tactical sub? The Plymouth tactics last night were 'interesting' to say the least!

  23. Morris on a ten leaving the rest weak is part of the problem for sure but he should still be good for a near 9 ave by end of season? Nielsen as I said before is a ridiculous signing. Constantly falling off and on the sidelines and not that good when he stays on either. Sedgmen IMO has been a revelation since he took time out of the sport in the Uk and seems to of gone back a totally different rider. I do still think hes a bit inconsistent to rely on and would be a superb third heat leader but he hasnt been the problem. It is really hard to see Brum lasting the season unless their owner is made of money though. Crowds of 200/300 cant be good? What kind of crowds were they getting when they were in the top tier and finished top of the league that one year ? With doyle, king etc? Im sure i read they were below 1000 even then.

  28. It just shows that even with a big scoring number 1 this team is nowhere near competitive enough....or in other words weak as p###..

  30. Maybe the meeting was meaningless as far as the competition goes but for fans paying hard earned cash all 15 heats mean something especially to travelling fans. Heat 15s continue to be a joke as top riders are continually not being nominated or declining to ride in it. Time to go back to the old 13 heat formula imo and have 13 heats that are meaningful.

  32. I thought it was a good race between Barker and Atkins, with Atkins almost getting past Barker a couple of times (which he had already done previously in Heat 14). Don't you agree, or weren't you in attendance last night and merely commentating from afar? Dunno why Worrall wasn't in Heat 13, though!

  33. The away win cancels your home loss out just need to make sure you win all your home meetings and collect the aggregate bonus in at least half your fixtures. That should be enough to get you there.

  36. In hindsight yes, but based on his previous Championship form, there was nothing to suggest Kinsley was a sensible decision. I understand why they made the double change, but signing a 4 point rider on a 5 point average was not the right thing to do, Kemp or Dan T would've been my picks ahead of Clegg. On current form Scunthorpe should certainly sign Kinsley to replace Ablitt in 28 days if he's not kept on by Oxford.

  37. It's far from over. Poole in with a decent shot still. The way most of their riders, go round the Ecco arena, they could win this leg.

  40. Wright nowhere near fit. Only rode because we didn’t want to use a four point guest as the 28 day facility was over .we had a rider lined up as a 28 day temporary cover and we should have signed him . Wright was riding , not racing. Credit him for giving it a go but it wasn’t doing him or the team any good !!

  41. The best of any realistic options For any faults he has (and you can't hide the fact there are some, and not insignificant either, in his past) Ben is a hugely likeable character with fans and a good team member Will take some pressure off down the order

  42. Seemingly had a bad neck according to one of the press releases, imagine had some sort of work done to ease it to be able to ride, no rider want to miss meetings earning their wage

  43. it'll never go back to its former glory, there's no need - crowds will settle to the 1/2000 mark, there won't be 10000 there. Just need an oval, some cover and somewhere to pee
