Class! Love it when idiots get owned on the internet, especially that negative idiot. Karma is a b.....

1. What's that got to do with how many meetings they have staged? 2. Where's the proof that's they haven't?

Oxford have squeezed in 29 meetings at Sandy Lane this season. Instead of unfairly criticising them, try praising a rival club for an amazing job in staging all their fixtures so far - with dates also arranged for the three (likely) remaining fixtures. All done by September 17.

From a purely neutral prospective, I don't think you can judge it on one meeting last time out. I'm literally looking at last year's meeting for Berwick, and Etheridge scored 5 points from 6 riders. The year before? 1 point from 4 rides. If you look at the bigger picture, Gusts was competing in the Grand Prix Challenge at the weekend, and Knudsen finished third in Danish Championship. Etheridge and Hagon don't offer that sort of pedigree. I don't think there is any real doubt Oxford are weakened. In my opinion, a full strength Oxford side has to be one the strongest in the league, but how often have they actually been full strength? They've been weakened all season (which is partly their own doing, and partly down to injuries), so it's pretty much a normal strength Oxford lineup if you think like that.

That was my first time seeing Micth McDiarmid in person, and I was impressed. People on here go on about William Cairns constantly (mainly the Poole fans, to be fair), but McDiarmid is only a year older and looks a proper talent.

You should have had the flat white last night, as Glasgow beating Workington secured your play off place, NOT the bonus point against Plymouth.

Yeah, I am sure about my facts. I even said one very important fact in my previous post that you seem to have ignored. There's also Google, try using that, you might find articles such as the following.... https://www.airlineratings.com/articles/wizz-air-ranked-in-the-top-five-safest-low-cost-airlines https://www.euronews.com/travel/2025/01/18/worried-about-flying-these-airlines-have-been-ranked-the-safest-in-europe-for-2025 The hilarious thing about your posts is that you're calling Wizz Air an unsafe airline, when it is actually the complete opposite. Do you want to take a guess at how many people have died flying with Wizz Air? Go on... try and answer the question instead of ignoring it? The only scary thing is people like you posting complete fake news. Hence why I called you a clown, which is more than justified.

Yeah, it's exemplary! What an utter stupid comment to make when you clearly know nothing of the aviation industry. You clearly haven't seen their safety record. Wizz Air is widely regarded as one the safest low cost airlines on the planet. No accidents, and only major incident was a tail strike in 2022. Clown!

Coming from a production background, I feel I have to say one thing. While Tatum's mistake was poor, I can't tell you how often this sort of error happens with commentators. The fact he then went on to say it multiples times suggests he was a bit confused about the situation, he obviously knows 45 points is not enough for to win the meeting. The real alarming thing here is that not one member of the TNT production team told him of the error - which suggests they either are incredibly bad at their job, or simply don't know anything about speedway. Criticise Tatum all you want, but the TNT team should be taking far more heat. They are there to stop things like this happening and they didn't. Absolutely shocking.

Well said. I've never known a sport care so little for its fans.

Think Edinburgh have got a decent chance in this one, considering Jenkins isn't setting the world alight at the moment and Oxford are weakened with the guests. Monarchs should easily have enough for the bonus point at least.

Amazing how many forum members with Belle Vue or Aces in their username are unable to see the downsides from last night! You'd think - being Belle Sue regulars - they would have actually gone to the Grand Prix. If they had, they must have had a far different experience than me. I couldn't get into the stadium, missed the first few heats and it was near-impossible to get any form of food or drink - not to mention those who were also sold tickets for non-existent seats. Not knocking the racing though, which was superb, but the facilities and organisation were awful. Nowhere near what should be expected at this level. Basically we need Belle Vue's track inside Cardiff's stadium.... alas, never going to happen. Belle Vue has bags of potential if done right, but last night was not enjoyable for a lot of people. Not sure all those watching on TV appreciate that.

Funny.... where did you hear Rushen was a done deal? A few murmurs at Leicester tonight that he's quite keen on one of your main rivals.

He was very impressive. Although neither Bailey nor Cairns really got close to Maksymilian Pawelczak.
