  1. Glad you enjoyed the meeting Geoff. Good company last night despite the Oxford defeat. At least Spires fans got to see what world class racing looks like. And the "lesser" riders in the Aces team put on a good show too. I'll be going next week to see Sheffield but after that I might restrict my visits to the Cheetahs. Shame Killeen didn't get points - he tried all night. C Cook, Kildermand, Wright and Riss did OK but the top end is very lacking.
  2. Worry for me would be a complete withdrawal from the top league. It will affect crowd levels at home and could even impact on attendance for the Cheetahs. I just hope that something can be done to at least get a side that looks competitive at home.
  3. This is clearly a side that is not competitive in this league, particularly when compared with Belle Vue and Ipswich. If resources have been spread too thinly - and Oxford are the only disorganization three teams - then it would be better to concentrate on just two. Attendances will inevitably suffer with a very poor team. If the Spires go then perhaps we can look forward to a four team Premiership next year as I can't see Birmingham surviving after another poor season either. Whatever happens, I would hate to see the revival of speedway at Oxford put in jeopardy through running noncompetitive teams. I hope the management response to the early results is rapid enough to benefit the club! Oops forgot about Kings Lynn. Hope they have a good season.
  4. Remember him from my childhood days supporting the Bees. One of my heroes along with Booey, Ron Mountford and the rest. RIP Rick. Condolences to the family.
  5. I wonder if anyone could help. My Eurosprt subscription comes up for renewal soon. Would I be better off with Discovery Plus? I usually watch on my PC. many than ks
  6. Of course you have to factor in the crowds. There won't be any. Even if the average speedway supporter could afford an electric car it is likely that electricity will be rationed. Public transport will be the only feasible alternative and that would rule me out for a start as I live too far away. The future is green, The future is for the rich only.! Poeple who go to speedway are generally not part of the affluent elite.
  7. Might have to make changes if the youngsters don't reach the right level. Plenty of title winning sides have changed their line-ups mid season. There's always a gamble with putting in youngsters - some raise their game others crumble. I do hope that they don't find it too much of a step up. That might not help them,
  8. It may be a top heavy side but I see the sense in this. Heat winners at home keep the crowd numbers up and that's what pays the wages. Also no team is fixed - changes can be made to the bottom end later. It's a calculated risk in my thinking. Shame they couldn't get Bomber - he's just worth watching whatever the result for the team. Hope ffor play offs next season. Anything else a bonus.
  9. I do hope attendances hold up next season (and beyond). I certainly intend to go to more meetings next year. There are some faults with the place - it's not the best stadium for watching the sport and the tractor in the middle of the green doesn't help and advanced purchasing of tickets is a pain. The quality of the racing has generally been pretty good. Things in its favour for me 1. the staff at the stadium have been welcoming and polite 2. the place is clean and tidy (and not all speedway stadia are 3. the fans have been friendly and I've had a pleasant chat with a number of them. Long may it continue and please try and get Bomber there next season! The management have been doing a very good job and should be congratulated. I suggest they might like to contact the council about their proposed traffic scheme - it c could affect attendances.
  10. It's gratifying to see that wide-eyed admiration follow this team whatever league they are in, They have deservedly earned their reputation over the years.
  11. Never mind Knudsen to Glasgow what about Bomber to Sand Lane next season - a marriage made in heaven. Berwick were the best team from heat one tonight. Oxford just didn't have the heat wieners and that's the job of the top end of the team. It was like watching a different team to previous weeks.
  12. Clearly this is a sign from the gods that Batch will score a full maximum and break the track record. Must admit I'm hoping to see Bomber pull off some outrageous runs round the outside while getting a good win for the Zeetahs. With the weather as it is I hope they've been soaking the track. I can remember a trip to Sandy Lane to see the Bees take on the Cheetahs - in 2003 I think - when the management came out with hose pipes to dampen the track. during the meeting. I recallColin Pratt called the track disgusting when interviewed on telly. I have more faith in the current management who seem to be more than capable. A win for the Cheetahs by 10 or I reckon. Don't forget your sun screen!
  13. Saw Brennan at Leicester having pictures taken with fans. Seems have a very good attitude to the paying public. I hope he has a very successful career.
