Must win for Cheetahs if play off hopes are to remain. Two away wins needed from last 3 away meetings, not impossible if we can get most of our 1-7 riding. Even that might not be enough

Yet another meeting goes by with a depleted team, what a waste of a potentially good season. More great team management, everyone bar your number 1 can take a rr ride but you give 2 rides to your 2.35 average number 8. Ritchings is a value option on his average but come on. Classic today at the Chargers meeting, who needed a guest in the team. Freddie Hodder being interviewed said that Schrocker called him up to guest, only to be informed by Hodder himself that he actually rides for the opposition so would be unable to take the booking 🤣

With Schrocker in charge we having been ahead of the game and using this 75% rule already this season wether we needed to or not 🤣

What if Cook has quit, would you be allowed a replacement then? Ot guest/rr only?

Can't remember the last time Cheetahs fielded their declared 1-7 , must be a couple of the BSN matches when we were unbeaten

Zach Cook now instead of rr for Riss, assuming the meeting goes ahead

Steady there, lets' see a few away meetings.

Both Scunthorpe riders in white in heat 15, how is this not spotted? I know some of the yellow looks very pale and sometimes looks white but was that just my eyesight?

The Poole team when Andersen and Ciegelski came over were excellent, they did very well to finish runners up that season 😀

Oxford already stated they will be covering Riss with rr until/when if Riss returns

Nicholls had a few laps at Poole on Wednesday and observers say looked a good as ever. How he's actually feeling afterwards will be key.

Did Nicholls do any laps after the meeting? How did he look?

Yes, much to our detriment 🤬

There was time when I was younger when I thought every single speedway photo must have been taken by Mike. RIP Mike

Cook rode aginst Kings Lynn on 12th then missed last nights meeting, no others The first meeting he missed was I believe last Saturdays Berwick meeting

Great effort from Knudsen in the Danish final, now if only we can get him riding 😀

IRR only allows riders below the rider they are replacing

How on earth does a fixture like this go ahead? Fixture planning at its finest, especially with so many gaps, surely a more suitable date could be found?

Very good summary. I've been going on about these 10 minute plus grading breaks for ages, I've even started timing them!!!! It's always easy to moan which I don't want to do but we can't afford to be making silly decisions, some of which must be having an effect on crowd levels as they as clearly down on last year for sure.

McDiarmid not being utilised properly again by the team manager.

I'd like to think if this was a league match, McDiarmid would be getting 6 rides. Looks like a very good rider in the making. With the aggregate tie all over from early on, no problem giving everyone their full quota.

Vaculik 75 more Kvech 75 more Cheers

Can't believe anybody thought any other result was on the cards, Oxford had an awful team, Cook has improved the team no doubt but still a very bad team. I know BV have been poor away from home but this was an altogether different task. With seemingly nobody willing to ride over here at this stage, we have to just keep plodding on hoping for improvement from the existing team.

I know it's happened, normally with special dispensation.
