Gilkes will outscore both KJP and Hausl if he stays fit.

I'd say mainly over Pedersen and Hausl. How are they going to perform over here? Pedersen hasn't really shown that much overseas for me to think he'll be a world beater, and Hausl is a complete unknown. He could come in and perform like Nagel and take to UK tracks, or he could be another Francis Gusts and really struggle. Too many unknowns to make Glasgow favourites at this stage, but that could all change. I'd say Poole look the strongest so far (if they get Rushen), with Oxford second and Glasgow third.

Does this mean Rushen is Oxford bound after all?

Well said. Couldn't agree more. So tonight, it's going to be either Zach Cook or Cooper Rushen right? Any other contenders?

If Oxford can pull off this team, it's title-winning in my opinion. A lot depends on that infamous pen... 1. Sam Masters 2. Luke Killeen 3. Erik Riss 4. Mitchell McDiarmid 5. Anders Rowe 6. Cooper Rushen 7. Darryl Ritchings

Thought Rushen was a cert for Oxford?

Gilkes?

I heard a rumour Kye Thomsen could be Oxford bound. Anybody else heard this?

So with Lawson, Cairns and Bowes confirmed, any thoughts/predictions on who the final four will be?

There was a recent post that showed there were 150 riders racing in the UK this year, how on earth do you think we'll lose 100 of them? That's not a fact, just you doom mongering.

It's not just about free race nights, it's about work overload. If he also signs for Rospiggarna as rumoured, he's going to be a very busy man if he stays in the UK.

Bewley potentially not riding in the UK after signing to ride in Denmark?

I'm guessing 1984. Not too sure why I think that. Just something about the picture.

You think the entire world focuses on cricket and rugby, lol.

What a ridiculous comment. Just because Poland aren't particularly great at the majority of sports we focus on in the UK, you think they are useless at every other sport going? Go and educate yourself on what sports Poland regularly play, such as volleyball, basketball, handball, etc. and you'll soon see they are far better than us and compete at the highest levels. Not to mention individual sports such as, athletics, winter sports, etc. as well. For instance, an all-time combined Summer and Winter Olympics table sees Poland inside of the 20 countries in the world.

So does Scott Nicholls signing for Plymouth add to the rumours that Oxford Cheetahs might in the Premiership next year? He was almost certain to return to Oxford I thought, but perhaps there was no place for him again as there is no Championship team?

Nothing wrong with hyping them up, as long as they don't get carried away and start believing the hype - as happened with Boughen. He tried to walk before he could run. And to answer your question, it's not Poole. No way he will ride in the same team as William Cairns. Didn't they have a falling out? I've heard Glasgow.

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!
