poor post .

Not a high bar set there.

I am liking the look of this team. I'll certainly try and get down to Workington at least a couple of times if I can make it fit.

What a knobhead

We have all done it at some point thinking I probably shouldn’t have posted that. Fair enough.

Bellend

Jakob hook next and that will pis@ off @lewy even more 😁

Wouldn't it be good if Berwick put a statement out confirming or denying the rumours about Rory

Foreverblue I should have bought a lottery ticket.

He'll be fine! Don't see why you are so worried. He'll find points at Poole a lot easier to come by now he isn't riding against us!

Any recent examples of "getting better tactically" Remember he was lucky that Pijper was excluded in the play off semi against Oxford AND was unable to take part in the re-run which meant Complin needed to come out... And won us the meeting!

But the team is Harris, Howarth, Flint, D Thompson, Boughen, Perry, Hodder.

Yeah plenty of options available on that average, his exact quote was..

*My girlfriend and I

Buzzing for this. I was underwhelmed by last season’s starting line-up, even more so following Complin’s ban, so hopefully this year will see a strong side kick-off the campaign. Harris is essential and seems inevitable, but Boughen will be a huge addition. His potential is huge.

As AceBelle says, it's not just about a result, a top team has to be around 50+ at home. Away from home there's no chance of the top 3 scoring 30+. Sheffield would have been far far better leaving out a Holder or Woffinden & making sure Rowe was at No6. I think they could be in real trouble

Post now deleted apologies for any offence.

By your reckoning then the rider who needs 7 riders to progress shouldn't get them and the rider who is progressing should just keep getting more? Until everyone gets away from the win at all costs mentality and starts to make it about Development (that doesn't mean everyone is entitled to take part) it'll continue to be the same old same old below the PL and CL level. 5 rides each has to be way forward for 6 man Teams or 4 rides for 7 (by all means allow reserves to switch and nominate the last 4 heats) to develop all the riders not just those who can score the most points on a night!

You seem to have omitted Jacob Fellows' scores in those meetings... H vs Leicester: 1+1 (scored a point as Max James was excluded) H vs Belle Vue: 0 - A vs Belle Vue: 0 A vs Mildenhall: 1 (scored point as Sam Woods was excluded) Would he have benefited more from an extra ride half a lap behind the opposition, or did Luke Killeen (etc.) benefit more from those extra rides? Yes, it's a development league, but riders should still be competitive at that level if they want the rides surely? Jacob Fellows could have been in 7 heats in those meetings and he would have scored the same (bar exclusions) as he was so far off the pace. Instead the likes of Luke Killeen got them, and look where he is now.

We have someone who wants to open the sport again in Swindon, but the Council are adamant they have no land available. Private land searches have also drawn a blank so far. Clarke Osborne continues to sit on what's left of the Abbey and let that deteriorate and not complete the new bits he threw up to enable houses in the car park. No doubt to eventually be allowed to demolish it for more houses. We are presenting our petition to Full Council on Thursday, but fully expect lots of lip-service and verbal support with no end product from the Council.

thought he was a lynn asset but could be wrong

Riss is on a “most wanted “”rider at most Championship Clubs.

That was the NORA format they had to go with but yes, a good format to watch..

Staying injury free is his biggest problem most seasons.Also what I have seen of him he is more of a gater.

Good to see Lewi Kerr (7.76) has brand new machinery, some new sponsors and is great mates with Rich Lawson. Not a bad spearhead as long as he stays injury-free.

To visit his gran in Basingstoke and then a pint down the pub.

I think his son Erik would be a better option

See Max Ruml is flying into the uk wonder if he is in any clubs wanted list ;-))

You should be a promoter and get on the committee, its not like you do much else.

Win as aTeam ,Lose as aTeam is the Bottom Line for me.

Glasgows team up on 2nd December for social media stuff for team announcement.

Sam Masters Oxford https://britishspeedway.co.uk/cab-direct-championship/masters-to-lead-cheetahs/

Sam Hagon doesn’t fit… Last rider Stanislav Melnychuk or Jacob Hook

My take on this would be that Luke would have still progressed to the level he has taking 5 rides if teams were six man as he had the abilities. Jacob could well of progressed to a decent standard national league reserve given the chance to take his rides its all subjective though as its opinion based

https://workingtoncomets.com/captain-batch-returns-in-2025/ Batchelor is back at Workington as captain.

Aye Alright chubby checker calm down!!!

You're all 🍆🍆🍆 just stop twisting at eachother

Ask Lewy. He's bound to know..

One of my concerns with the team is which Picko turns up - the one from the last month of the season who was absolutely on fire, or the one from the first few months of the season who seemed to be struggling

If only you knew half as much as you make up you would still know nothing!

Lewy is right on this one, cookie hadn’t been paid since the start of the season when we were there in May. The comets spent a fortune for the team they had last year.

They must turn up and see the state of the dump and think nah I'm injured me 😂😂😂😂

Why are on earth are they not allowing drinks and snacks? I would understand if there was a policy to stop alcohol being brought in, but soft drinks and food should be allowed. When I used to go to the Showground, me and my girlfriend used to visit Marks and Spencer. We used to buy ready to eat king prawns and M&S triple chocolate cookies.

The amount of times Ipswich’s reserves out scored the away teams reserves by a significant amount last season I’d say points throughout the team win matches

What confuses me is why the 'rules' re Rising Stars are being discussed on the Oxford Cheetahs 2025 page.

Hey, I'm an 'oldie' and I am into Speedway, Cricket and Football. 😳 You can't stereotype groups of people like you have done. 😉 By the way - I detest Golf. Boring as hell and it spoils a good walk. 🙄

Every other thread in the Championship section is for opinions, rumours as well as facts official or common knowledge. This is the only thread for confirmed signings.

That sounds plausible .Given his age and previous injuries.If true I wish him well.
