Speedway of Nations 2024
Tim G replied to a4poster's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
We will have to disagree on that one, the temporary stand looks like it has plenty of seats available.i think if you have a back straight ticket you could be getting a nice free upgrade. I do agree about the WTC, it’s a better format. -

Terrible ticket sales but that’s what you get with the ridiculous pricing structure. -
Yes, that’s how I watch it.

Well my friend certainly does. His team was Reading but he now supports Oxford and is thoroughly enjoying the meetings at Cowley as are the rest of his family.
-
But all 3 of those riders would score well at reserve so if it is Kerr that goes I don’t see it weakening the team. If you keep Kerr and Cook I think Kerr will be in the main body of the team and I don’t see him scoring aswell as the other riders you have mentioned.

Oxford Cheetahs vs Poole Pirates BSN 2nd Leg 8/5/24
Tim G replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I feel sorry for Atkins as it seems he has been punished for having a good season last year. In his interview at Plymouth on Saturday night he was saying he has hardly had any meetings and can no longer do NDL due to his average. It’s obvious he needs these meetings for confidence and bike time. I thought the NDL was about trying to progress British youngsters but sometimes a rule can hurt them. His effort and entertainment last year was first class and he deserved to be back but if Oxford want to challenge he is probably the one you would change. -

I believe they have a tablet at the door that you can use. -
Good ride by Barker in heat 13
-
What an awful meeting, can’t believe I paid £12 for this crap. Hopefully Oxford can turn it around in 13 and 15.

Oxford will do well to get 35 tonight

Speedway of Nations 2024

Totally agree, was going but not so sure now as £85 for the cheapest grandstand seat for the final is ridiculous. -
I’m pretty sure if Tobias Thomson had beaten some of these riders on his home track we would be hearing how he’s one of the best signings of the season. Great work by Workington to get Tate.

Why not, why does it have to be in the UK like you’re demanding? If it’s only costing £1k each to attend that’s not much money and I doubt many promoters get the chance to go away during the season.

Glasgow Vs Oxford play offs 26/9/23
Tim G replied to Anzum's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Glasgow favourites for this but I think heat 2 could be massive. Glasgow reserves had the better of the Oxford pair in the league and if Oxford have any chance they will need to turn that around. -

It’s looking like a major blunder putting him in now. Big blow for Oxford and puts big pressure on the reserves. -
Redcar vs Oxford - Champ playoffs - 22/09
Tim G replied to Bojangles's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Big win for Oxford considering they were 14 points down. -
Toowomba?

I went for a ride on my motorcycle through the Cotswolds on Friday, went through numerous 20mph limits and not once did I see anyone driving at that speed, everyone was still doing 30mph. Blanket 20mph limits are a ridiculous idea but if it was targeted outside schools and village centres I feel it would be a good idea.

Oxford v Glasgow - Play Offs - 13 Sept
Tim G replied to Grachan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
No, because I agree with you on that. But this match is at Oxford and Vissing missing is a positive for Glasgow. Do you think Vissing would score more than rider replacement? -

Tim G replied to Grachan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Heeps scores are pretty good at home so Oxford would be weaker using r/r. Hasn’t he already scored paid 13 at Cowley against Glasgow this season. Vissing missing for Glasgow strengthens them. -
Does UK speedway need a new televised product?
Tim G replied to truthsayer's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Well we have a multi round individual event in Cardiff this weekend let see how many people bother going to that. The attendance is getting lower each year because people don’t seem to be so interested in individual speedway. I think you let your hatred of team speedway cloud your judgement on this one. Speedway will only survive at a very few tracks if it becomes more about the competitors rather than the spectators. -
Does UK speedway need a new televised product?
Tim G replied to truthsayer's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
So what you are saying is a promoter should run an individual event that nobody would care about in the log run and lose money whilst doing it. You will have them queuing up to showcase one of these events. Why would a tv audience be more interested in this than they are league racing? -
So it’s not in Poole’s hands but Oxford’s
