In your opinion. We’ll see.

I think they have a chance personally. Fourth spot looks quite open and it’s all about getting there then anything can happen. You could end facing one of the favourites who are stricken with injury.

Sadly it works like a charm! Stop replying to him/her people for crying out loud. You’re giving them the oxygen that they crave.

No probs.

Monday May 5th 2.15pm start. It’s on Ipswich’ fixture list and always has been. Not sure about Lynn’s as haven’t looked.

Love a Bank Holiday afternoon meeting. Don’t always produce the best of racing strip particularly in the summer but the extra numbers and atmosphere make it a great occasion. Looking forward to the East Anglian derby on May bank Holiday. Lynn having a more competitive side this year will add to the interest. Will be a bumper Foxhall crowd that’s for sure.

Eh? You’re making no sense whatsoever. Let me make it a little simpler for you as you appear to be struggling. Chris Harris himself released a statement saying that he wasn’t in Oxford’s plans. That’s the factual part. Now the rest of his statement is open to debate. My personal point of view, is he didn’t seem to have taken the news particularly well and was happy riding for the club. Of course I don’t know that and could be wrong there. But if it was a mutual decision or he himself wanted to move, then it was a very strange statement to make. But again, I have no idea as to Oxford’s reasoning for not wanting Harris this year, and quite frankly I don’t particularly care. The only fact we know, is that Harris wasn’t in Oxford’s plans because the rider himself said so.

I’ve missed nothing and it’s totally irrelevant as to the reasons of him not being in Oxford’s team in 2025. I was responding to a post that said maybe Harris didn’t want to ride for Oxford anymore, and that clearly isn’t the case whichever way you want to spin it. He was informed he wasn’t in the plans this year, the reasons why they decided that is completely irrelevant.

But we’ve literally heard his haven’t we. He was told he wasn’t in Oxford’s plans and didn’t seem particularly pleased about it. Pretty weird statement to make if he left of his own desire.

Harris himself gave a statement in October saying he wasn’t in Oxford’s plans and didn’t seem to be exactly pleased about it either. https://watch.britishspeedway.co.uk/articles/bombed-out

Excellent signing IMO.

It’s very close to being a team that will challenge for a play off spot and it probably would have if they’d managed to use all the points available for the last signing. I’d guess the uncertainty early on cost them options and left them behind the others in terms of planning. They’ve done very well considering, but it must be frustrating to be so close to an even stronger team that could challenge.

Well that’s turned out better than most expected. That’s a competitive side and will be a tough nut to crack on their own track. Might be found wanting away a little bit, but at home that team will win most of their meetings once they get dialled in.

Think people need to watch the incident again. He may well have broken his footrest, but that wasn’t what caused him to fall. He was simply being chucked all over the place by riding through the high dirt pile by the fence.

Uppa Witches 😁

I’m not convinced of that. Time will tell.

This looked the weakest part of his game the first season he was here, his gating was generally awful. But that improved considerably last season. The only downside for me with this years Witches team. Would have loved to have kept him in the side, super talent.

The only question mark around the inclusion of King was his fitness. Now it’s been updated he’s had successful surgery and is on course to be 100% fit by March, then he’s absolutely worth his place in the team. One had to go from King, Ellis and Rew, a fit Danny King is better than both of them currently. Some won’t like to admit that, but the stats don’t lie.

That was the plan but is now unlikely according to Adams in this weeks Star. They’ve had a couple of “setbacks” and he now concedes they’re likely to come in under the limit more than the other clubs.

Not the point really. What is the actually point of an “official” website? Isn’t just a problem here, it’s pretty horrific across the board in British Speedway.

He’s literally just given an opinion on the Belle Vue team, that’s all ffs 🙄

We actually coped very well without Doyle remarkably. We were still winning home and away even running R/R for him in a lot of meetings. Makes you wonder just how far ahead we’d have been if that hadn’t happened. We were still four points clear at the top I think when Emil crashed at Sheffield and that was the final nail in the coffin. Think we had 9 meetings after that and lost them all. We were cooked basically. You could argue but for appalling referee decisions at Leicester our patched up side should have made the final!
