They should have borrowed Leicester's new one.

Has he got a watering can 🙃

That's fine, but i think it would pee me off if i thought he wouldn't give something back to the fans if necessary though.. Good job most don't seem to think the same. Someone on here did say Matt is like Marmite. I certainly agree with that Nice to see Lewi seems to be on the up btw.

Going by the crowds reported, and the best riders will attract more of them. Add the that the apparent pull Poole has for riders, the only reason i can see is that Matt Ford does what's best for Matt Ford. He must think he can make more profit riding in the Champ, and he might be right. Would be nice if he gave his loyal fans a treat though. I know i'll get Poole fans going on about race nights etc etc. They are very loyal to Ford, and that's fine. But i'm sure most would love the Prem, and the chance to have some top riders in their team. You never know when Brum drop out, he might make up the numbers, but i'm not holding my breath... Just my own opinion of course..

I heard Luke/ him team, said that he ain't ready for this level yet. But will come in and do some meetings. I can't remember who bloody told me now, so wouldn't take it as gospel.

I just had a look. I didn't realise how bad they both have been so far. The pair started on 14.73 between them, and have averaged 9.69 so far. Kildermand at reserve is handy for them. On the other hand, Howarth bagged 8 from 4 there for Leicester earlier in the season, and looked pretty good in Mondays meeting. If Nicolai has his gating gloves on, and Howarth can chip in with 6 or so, plus heats 13 and 15 won't be as tough as most places think we could get over the line. Oxford 44 Stars 46

Heard tonight, Jody Scott.

NKI is finding hard to win races this season, looking at the stats. Heat wins, Harris 13 , Klindt 12, Kvech 11, Lawson 9, NKI 3, Boughen 2 No surprise our top 3 all have had a stint at reserve.

👀 What did he say.

I think you might be moaning about most. If you was a Stars fan.😉

If my son was even at 250 level, if he didn't have them, he wouldn't ride.

I see what your saying, But as a rider at any level. Wouldn't you want to take the best measures to protect yourself. Whether compulsory or not.

I know. Because a few called you out. Including a Poole fan. If you was moaning about 1 of your top 5 under achieving, when the others where over, you would moan about Lynn having 1 rider just over their starting average, and the rest under.. Be honest

Just had a look. I didn't know. Best wishes to Luke Becker.

No problem for Buster

i'd agree with that. Before the season started, i though we might get 4th. It will probably be 5th now. If we can up our game in the 2nd half of the season, and Leicester wobble, you never know.

You say that... But you moan because Kerr is not riding to his average, but your other top 5 are all averaging higher than they started so far, when i last looked. Good job your not at Lynn fan at the moment Their starting average, and where they are after the first 8 meetings. Added Cook, but he ain't had a fair crack yet. We've been unlucky with Ben. Starting ave. Cook 6.99. - 2.54 (Averaged 3.20 from 4 meetings, RR or guest 5.70 from the other 4.) Lawson 6.91. - 0.59 Klindt 6.58. - 0.24 (Stint at reserve) NKI 6.83. - 0.89 Harris 6.06. + 0.09 (Stint at reserve) Kvech 6.58. - 0.68 Not saying get rid, but they need to up it a bit.

Stars fan of the week goes to

I don't know who was asked tbh.

Norrick Blodorn at 2 & Luke Harrison at 7

Got to be King for me as well. Cook scored 4 on his visit this season, and we need as many points as we can get, for at least the aggregate point in the return fixture. Hope Musielak has a stinker.

Mean while, somewhere near the Foxhole, Still no stopping Taps..

When Ippo visited in the 80's, it used to be great. Big crowds and plenty of noise/banter. Even saw the odd uniformed copper or 2 on the back straight a few times. Those were the days.

Certainly not one with 2 top riders missing, who behind from the 1st leg We get a lot of flack as Stars fans when we do such things. Just giving a bit back Roger and JamesB
