Triple.H.

Started raining as meeting started. Not heavy but I think we might struggle to even get to heat 10 now.

I'll bow down to your positive attitude. It's no longer raining a mile from the track and the ground is hardly wet. Just spoke to a mate who is already there and the track is looking good.

One for the rulebook experts If you have a rider called up to ride in this meeting and also have a league match the same day are the team entitled to A guest, R/R or an NDL guest not riding in the Championship

I'm about a mile from the track and the rain is very light, been like it for an hour now and the ground isn't very wet and no puddles

What happened to 7 day ban for missing a meeting due to illness.

BK might not ride again this season but he will ride in the GP Challenge. Riders have ridden in World Championship qualifiers while carrying an injury that stops them riding week in week out for years. Look at our own country back in the 80s the authorities wouldn't seed Kenny Carter to the Commonwealth Final so he rode in a British Final qualifying round and the Final with a broken leg. Both meetings also in very difficult conditions. I was at the Semifinal and they had to carry him out of the pits to sit on the bike.

I said last night to a few people that any Leicester fans who were there or bought the livestream, must be gutted that they don't get racing like that week in and out. Us Oxford fans are so bloody lucky after years of closure to have 3 good teams where every rider at every level gives their all on a well prepared track, all in fron of decent crowds.

He only has one Dinky toy, never let's go of it.

Shouldn't he be out for 7 days ? I thought that was the rule miss a meeting through illness miss 7 days, though it might be yet another rule if you withdraw halfway through a meeting.

Why would they need a Visa They're coming here to play one match. If every footballer needed a Visa to play a match in another country. There wouldn't be any International matches. Also if a football team sign a player who needs a Visa. The big teams have plenty of resources to make sure it's not a long winded operation. Also most transfers in football have gone through a lengthy process before they're announced

You can't beat fans who can't be bothered to back the British youngsters. He's in the position he is in the team due to the increase/reduction in the various leagues in an attempt to move riders up a level. TBH Dan Gilkes is a talented boy, but probably needs more meetings.

But as usual you fail to I congratulate you on your ability to continue to be the most negative poster on here

Thanks for telling me what I should view and how wrong I am to judge what I can see. I know riders have said they could've carried on after the extensive track work after heat 10. I also see the Medics side

Which referring to my post about the medical staff looking better sat down drinking tea, instead of surrounding an injured rider go seems to go straight over your head. Riders chase the dirt and tend to go a lot wider as the meeting goes on. I can only judge the track from what I've seen on social media, but any rider who went out wide after heat 10, by choice , genuine mistakeI or being forced out. MO would've probably ended up in hospital

Maybe she said that her team had another event they had to get too. Also the Medical team are the ones who have to deal with the riders after a crash, perhaps they should be listened too as IMO I'd rather see the Medics sat down drinking tea than see them crowded around a rider who's clattered the fence

It's excellent and very good value. If you go onto their website https://watch.britishspeedway.co.uk/ there you'll find all the details.

Hopefully he'll turn out better than a continual moaner about every aspect of the sport

The Mods need to clampdown on these posts

I'd guess at Erik Riss coming in for the unfortunate Henry, if it fits. If it doesn't fit then someone else gets dropped too and possibly Jody Scott in

Maybe in the case of JG a group of riders should be asked on their opinions of him returning to the sport and any relevant measures they feel should be put in place if he did return.

Did you make it to the match ?

Aint Noddy is his brother

Should Zagar have been allowed to start without a Steelshoe ? I've seen many a rider fall when they've lost one during a race.

TBH forecast has changed overnight on App I use. But Oxford track can take a fair bit of rain and the club do their utmost to get the meeting on. Take a look at the first meeting vs Birmingham there was some very good racing on a wet track.
