This aged well 🙈😂

Tight home win 46-44 I reckon

Did you watch it? I stood on the second bend with my dad and uncle and enjoyed it. If they’d have heavily watered the track and one of the isolated heavy showers I drove through en route half an hour before the meeting started had landed putting the meeting off with already 1000+ in the stadium that would’ve been a far bigger disaster on opening night than a bit of dust

Yes Ben, sorry didn’t think about there being more t than one 🤪

Bewley 8.64 rowe 5.22 cook 6.39 kildemand 5.28 musielak 6.63 bangs 4.50 Edwards

Was watered after heat 4, heat 7 and at interval

Tac sub 5-1 meant the scoreline flattered lynn imo, long long tail. Decent first home performance throughout the team, Scotty will fair better when the track is grippier and he can work the bike and find different lines. Understand the comments on the track getting slick and dusty quite quickly tonight but I don’t think there’s much more they can do with such a strong drying wind as this evening, it was well watered before the meeting and watered at each grading break, while dry and dusty towards the end it was consistent and smooth which is good to see.

On his first visit to Foxhall I was impressed with gusts on track, don’t remember what he scored but got better every time he came out and had a real go, didn’t push on like I thought he would but morale looked pretty low in the Oxford pits last year, tough environment for a foreign youngster to come into and the pressure be straight on you

I think both Sheffield and Leicester have sides that can be dangerous around Foxhall but if they ride to their ability should be able to beat everyone at home and the long tails of belle vue and lynn will be their undoing on the road and as you say Foxhall a particularly tough away track. Hard to say with Northampton but they look the weakest and shouldn’t be troubling us at foxhall

Brennan 10 nicholls 6 king 8 lawson 9 musielak 8 phb 5 edwards 5 fricke 12 castagna 3 cook 5 bomber 8 kvech 7 cooper 2 smith 2 51-39

He’s certainly capable of a significant average jump if he can find some consistency

Obviously injuries have really hampered his progress so far, but has he actually demonstrated anything to show he’s got it in him to take a step forward on the clear early potential he showed as a rookie? Big season for his whole career path this one imo

A meeting thread at last! The longest winter of all time drawing to a close 😃 can see this being a very small home win or even an away win tbh Chris holder looked dynamite in the Peter craven meeting, and killer looked the opposite jack and picko will likely score less than Brady and Dan but beat everyone else and not be far off, I think etheridge will have the better of Tate at the bottom end too. Zach and blodorn vs flint and rowe could go either way all 4 capable of decent haul on their night

Tough at “the top” and they couldn’t hack it 😅🙈😂🤪

The season Emil came over he certainly brought that, it was noted by promoters that everyone had their biggest crowds that season on his visits, people turned up to see him for sure. I think that probably subsided a bit over year 2 & 3 though, hard to say really how to make that draw more sustainable with the quantity of teams and top riders we now have riding here. “back in the good old days” when you had a much bigger league and only rode home and away once against everyone and some ko cup matches people would want to be there for the one chance too see say Jason crump visit Foxhall with belle vue, I love watching bewley and Kurtz visit the heath but last season they visited 4 times which reduces that excitement to get to see them for less die hard fans. so in a way I agree with the one top star per team to be the target but I think ultimately the goal should be to have say 10-12 teams with that one top star and drive that draw of “this is your chance to see “top rider X” at your home track this season” but that just seems to so far away from reality with the current state of affairs in uk speedway doesn’t it

I guess it’s a case of how long could he wait on the Northampton team coming to fruition, uncertainty and an offer from Ipswich on the table

They would be new followers of British speedway to find that strange, us seasoned fans understand it to be totally normal for British speedway 😂

There’s two northern based premiership clubs with Aussie no.6’s on 3 point starting averages this years isn’t there? 👀

It’s your holier than thou tone of your posts that irk people. ”oh if only all the other clubs were like belle vue, we’d never treat riders like other clubs do” (you know, accept for when you do) like you’re the saviours of British speedway and everyone else has an active agenda against belle vue to bring British speedway down.

I wonder if they may place Lawson at 2 to support Tom in some tough heat ones? Him and fricke did some serious damage for Leicester season before last riding 3 heats together and he’ll win a lot of heat 8’s home and away. 1. Brennan 2. Lawson 3. King 4. Nicholls 5. Musielak 6. PHB 7. Edwards Can’t Scotty being fazed riding at 4 instead of 2

The signing of PHB has really cheered me up, it was always going to be hard so late in the day to bring over a top no.1 but in the absence of that bringing in an exciting newcomer to the league from the continent is a good show of intent from the new owners and offers additional excitement and intrigue to see how he fairs on these shores
