Play offs don't count towards the final gsas. Not sure that the ko cup does either? Just league and bsn.

As opposed to Worky who appear to have been doing it all season!🤣

Not sure Rocketman will have Poland in his 2027 sights? Not being paid is a big issue for riders - despite what Polish contracts state!!!

I know they've spoken to another heat leader and another rider, both of whom have guested this season.

No mistake. Those averages are from 23rd July!!

Similar to Poole. I'm led to believe a structural design was done and costed to widen the Poole track into the old greyhound track. The considerable six figure costs were impossible to justify without security of tenure of the stadium.

Her Lewis Kerr interview featured on BBC South and on various socials.😀 NB thanks for buying the stream.

Nice interview. Well done Beth.👍

Nick Morris is on a good run of form and did well both for and against the Pirates this last week!

The riders requested the small bowser after the mid-meeting issues last week. Many riders don't like watering during the meeting after they've got their set-ups right. Mid-meeting watering is as much to do with keeping dust levels controlled for the comfort of the crowds as it is for the riders. Several riders interviewed said how good the track was. Race times were reasonably consistent around the 59-60 sec in the early heats to 61-62 sec mark in the latter stages. Will Cairns tremendous win in heat 15 was 60.43 secs .

Richard Lawson resumes his racing. He's started the journey north very early and is stopping off at Leicester en route.😉😉🤞

That's a good win for the Comets. It shows how fallible Oxford can be when Sam Masters doesn't get a max. BTW I hope young Max Perry is OK.🤞

As usual, thanks for your insightful input Gav!! Brennan saying the track was great, better than the 2024 treble winning season.

...but then goes on to win heat 14.😂

Ryan Ingram breaks down en route north of Oxford, but fortunately is helped by MPT and Dan Gilkes.

No it was his knee!!🤣

Kennett has been released as a permanent replacement apparently.

Lets hope the Presenters/Commentators do their research on who the riders race for - Premiership and Championship - as 11 of the declared 16 (as of 13/8) are Championship riders. It'll be a missed opportunity if only the Prem clubs are mentioned imo! A graphic should also show the forthcoming meetings - where and when - that could 'flash up' on screen throughout the broadcast!

Oxford will have a much better choice of guests for Riss than Eddie. Expect to see a decent 6.5-7.0 pointer when they visit Poole next Wednesday.

Presumably Oxford can only use guests for Riss(7.57) now, but a wider choice for when they visit Poole next week eg Kemp, Barker....?

For any fans (and riders!) travelling to Wimborne Road today, the A31 is closed both ways from M27 to Ringwood following the New Forest fires at weekend. Diversions are signed but they may add up to 1 hour to your travel time.

The only slight issue is (god forbid) if he gets an injury then the choice of guests has diminished considerably.

If this is hopefully the first of several then I hope there will be some way to mention/publicise all forthcoming fixtures and tracks over the following week or so - Premiership and Championship at least.

BSPL were aware of the signing intention. It was just the paperwork getting through. Not sure if the BSPL office is staffed at the weekends?😇 Great to get him on 4.00 gsa though.

Because Riga finished after Berwick!!
