You really have a self entitled attitude as have a few off your self entitled fellow fans. Oxford do what is best for Oxford it’s as simple as that , not what can we do to get one over Poole. The arrogance really is why other fans can’t stand Poole or some of there fans.

Quite simply we cannot lose the showground from this sport

The track?

No it wasn't. It was started as a 'rumour' at Armadale by an Edinburgh fan. Heard by a Workington fan who repeated it on here. Then the buying the league brigade chipped in - anything to have a go at Glasgow - and now it's proved to be a load of manure, like most things coming from the east- they've moved onto conspiracy theories about Marcin, despite a detailed post by his mechanic explaining the facts.

What like the Poo Pirates do every year Maybe as the self proclaimed biggest club in Britain you shouldve gazumped everyone and signed him to replace Adam Roynon

It's British Speedway there's no logic to anything

It's just nice seeing a proper team

Hope your blow up doll didn't see you write that

Poole infestation of thread about a promising young rider signing for Oxford. Really can't help themselves

Last night was my first visit to Wimborne Road for 2 years and the track was much, much better than the last time I went. Josh was riding on the edge of the dirt and pulling out big strides, proving it's not a one line track and that passing is possible. A few getting caught out going too far into the deep stuff though. Although the scoreline was a bit one sided, Josh, Kye, & Paco gave it a good go, so it wasn't the bore fest that the scoreline suggests. More Sunday fixtures please! Or Friday

I'd have said it's common sense to have teams with Danish riders in visiting during the Danish break and those without when Danish fixtures are on. Its only 8 home league meetings FFS, it shouldn't be hard. Many people are fed up to the back teeth of missing riders who aren't injured, it needs sorting.

Peterborough kills the NSS as good as its meant to be

Why? I don’t get how Jenkins being withdrawn tonight makes any difference to Boughen/Killeen. Can you explain?

The used car salesman is here tonight, I can see the floodlights glinting off his teeth at T1

I think it’s obvious why Oxford have signed Boughen isn’t it? Because they want the best possible team they can get. I’m sure any team with a 2pt rider in their line-up was desperate to sign him. Are Oxford supposed to let the opportunity of him riding for them pass by simply because they are already doing well? This is not a case of a rider underperforming being replaced, it’s a case of an exceptional talent becoming available.

I think it is more likely Oxford have paid over the odds

Funny that, they have went quiet, thought moneybags Glasgow can get whoever they want, when in fact Glasgow don't pay over the odds

In Poole

Imagine being top and still changing the team because you are worried about everyone else.

I'm not sure it does, when was the last time an 8+ heat leader couldn't get a team spot because his average was too high? I'd say it allows his team to be stronger (gets extra matches). For riders on 4-6 point averages, I can totally see how it would help them get a team spot the following season.

And so it begins

Hi Mike , thanks for tuning in! Sorry I'm not your cup of tea. I do know i can be a marmite kind of person and i can be excitable, mainly due to the passion i have for speedway and trying my bit to make speedy more theatrical to make a show and not forgetting i often tell crap jokes. But like every comedian some people hate it but more love it as i regularly get messages asking when I'm on. Despite weather you like me or not. I do have a great repour with a lot of the riders which usually equals some great interviews from the riders getting all the insights as a few have said they find it easy to talk to me. I hope you can warm to me in the future, you'll be glad to know I'm not on for a few weeks. Thanks again for supporting BSN Paul

Masters, Steve Worrall, Pickering are riding in Poland, Barker out injured Kerr, Allen, Flint and Richie Worrall are in as replacements

Enlighten me where it was openly expressed that Laguta had walked away - perhaps had it been there may have been some understanding And even had he (which he likely had) it wasn't suitable reason to call off whatever the lack of replacements may have been

Marcin maybe one league match left but then they have playoffs another 4/6 meetings which will all be on a Saturdays for polish tv, he also has got to be there on a Friday for team practice before meetings, even, if he was allowed to miss practice to ride for tigers he would have to get back to Poland early Saturday morning and only flight he can get was from Stanstead at 5.45 travelling down through the night for flight then a few hours drive to tracks is not the best preparation for a team captain whose team is looking for promotion which brings along with it great money to the rider and his club in Poland is his bread and butter so it was a no brainier for him and was a very hard decision to make he has said he only came here to make him a better rider and has said it has helped him good luck to him and his polish team

I'm afraid this sums up this forum - Cardiff is usually the best chance that Speedway has for mainstream coverage and publicity. The city becomes a speedway centre for at least a day and people who attend seem to enjoy themselves. Yet, here on the forum, we get 'speedway fans' who can only get joy out of the fact that it might be a failure! 'Only 7500 tickets sold, blue-light tickets to fill the stadium, must be the last one etc etc' - if you're not interested in Cardiff, don't go and don't sit by your keyboard and take your little pot shots, hoping for failure. Start a new forum for just slagging off the sport and congratulate each other on your success if things don't go to plan - just keep it away from here and let's enjoy some positivity. I hope those who are moved to a more expensive area, enjoy it more. I hope that the cameras make the place look packed. I hope some free ticketholders take a new interest in the sport and I hope everyone that goes has a great day of racing and a good time in Cardiff. The demise of the Cardiff weekend has been predicted before - but here we go again.

Was just about to say the same - Emil does the same of course! That said re the pronunciation thing surely a bit of prep and asking the rider so how do you pronounce your name might be in order - Polish isn’t an easy language for us in the U.K. but writing it out phonetically would be a start - I was most surprised to see that Łódź is pronounced ‘wuj’ and I actually only learned that from a travel Tv show!

Vintage NKI in Ht 15, His best ride of the season.

Great heat 15, some really good races later on once the outside line developed. Just a pity it's so grippy low down early on. But still a wonderful speedway track and will be a great loss to the sport.

In conners statement he was having a 21st birthday celebration, also a full time apprentice with allied vehicles/Ford, and lives in Glasgow, as British U21 champion maybe he should have been 1st replacement when the seeded riders started to drop like flies

He'll be out of it means keeping Woffy

If we had this team at the start of the season then we would've been Belle Vue's biggest challengers.

Personally I felt Steve Boxall going straight into the pits without finishing the heat was far more disrespectful than a showman celebrating in front of his own supporters but I guess you're probably one of those people who doesn't like football players who celebrate scoring goals against their old clubs

You really don’t know what you’re talking about. he has not got new equipment they are Jordan Jenkins old engines. I guess you are one of the people spreading rumours that he was on GP tuned engines, the boy can ride any bike he was just as good at motorcross. Hence the reason he was racing at world youth level. He is the most laid back kid I know yes his dad has spent money on him but then so has a lot of parents over the years. If your son is talented like Ashton is I’m sure most parents would do the same. Maybe people should get behind him as this boy is certainly special.

Is that the gating tart in red

Home win and hope we can hang on for the bonus point, unless Ellis starts his season tonight and Tai gets an 18 point maximum

Redcar have picked up a couple of decent guests for this meeting by the looks of it.

He does but I think his team has finished.

He has two bad meetings scores 3 and 4 I think and they immediately got their feathers ruffled at Rzeseow. Their in the top spot for the playoffs and Marcin is their number 1. The financial benefit from going one league up is supposedly incredible so they want every tool at their disposal to give it there best shot. Marcin has been quoted the reason he was here was to improve his riding skills which he has most definitely done, but it's crap that we lose him at what is the pinnacle point of our season too.

With only 5 Danes spread across 3 teams in the original declared line-ups not difficult to do. And it's really 4 Danes in two teams (Glasgow/Berwick) because Toft doesn't often ride in Denmark (6 DSL matches in last 5 years)

Klindt is an enormous miss at the NSS and this is obviously going to be a bit of a hiding but as long as everyone rides like S Lambert did last Monday and gives it their all then we can't ask any more. Would be nice if Robert could get the better of Dan across their three clashes too!

I think your presenting style is great and something we're very unlikely to see elsewhere. Keep up with the crap jokes, puts a smile on my face

So now we all know the real reason behind the decision there will be no more speedway at Monmore Green after this season.The Council have announced plans to demolish the next door wholesale market and build a new far larger facility that will include a new mixed use complex to incorporate vehicle fleet services,new market,meals on wheels operartion,salt storage with new electric vehicles,street sign opereration and office space to control all these facilities...... So this was the devious plan all along between Entain and Wolverhampton City Council to end a near 100 year reign to bring an end to Wolves speedway at their present home. Bare faced lies from Entain about needing a new track for Premier greyhound racing,and the council for saying they'll do all they can for Entain to change their mind and let speedway continue at the Green.Both organisations lying scumbags.

Which would be odd, given 1) how much Oxford seem to be invested in Killeen 2) that Killeen has a higher average than Boughen in the NDL

Best wishes too Conner for good recovery.

You need to switch off the light before you close the door, light switch will be on the inside.

When you say 'finish on a high', you know you can't sign Nick Morris don't you?
