OXFORD Speedway Supporters’ Club are holding a Sportsman’s Dinner at the Kidlington Green Social Club in Green Road, Kidlington on Saturday, November 8th (7pm). There will be a hot and cold buffet, and two special guests telling stories about their time in the sport and answering questions. The two guests are Rob Godfrey & David Howe. Godfrey is the current promoter at Scunthorpe Speedway, arguably the best racetrack in the country, where he has just completed his tenth season in charge. 32-year-old Howe, a former British Under-21 Champion with Grand Prix experience, has been riding speedway since the age of 15 in 1997, and rode for the Oxford Cheetahs in 2006. Entrance is £6 per person, with Supporters’ Club members receiving a £1 discount. Please email info@ossc.me.uk or phone 07092 893318 if you plan to attend, so that organisers have an idea of numbers.

Stoke Potters Sadly, The Perennial Failures
lucifer sam replied to iannewsman's topic in National League Speedway
Having won the NL Pairs, aren't Stoke the only team apart from Cradley likely to win anything at NL this season? All the best Rob -
Smug git I would imagine it would be Somerset. All the best Rob

Because Sophie Blake is far superior and doesn't ask stupid questions? All the vest Rob

15.5.2 If the Referee stops a Race and the leading Rider has completed a minimum of 2 laps of the Heat, then the Referee has the sole discretion to order a re-run or award the Heat based upon the Rider’s positions when the Heat was caused to be stopped, with the disqualified Rider being awarded no points and Riders behind in the order being advanced one place. As long as race-leader Cook had completed two laps before the stoppage, the ref has the discretion to award the race. All the best Rob

Davy, by pipping Somerset tonight, you've ensured that the last team to win back-to-back titles at this level remains Glasgow in '93 and '94 All the best Rob

Why would I be smug - I'm not a Somerset fan. It's just the laughable attempts to suggest that Somerset is not a good race-track, simply because the Rebels win most of their home meetings by healthy margins. That's complete baloney. It's an excellent race-track... nearly as good as Scunthorpe (you call me smug about that one if you like ). All the best Rob

With Edinburgh scoring 6 points from their tactical rides last night, could the TR again play its part in deciding the destination of the PL title? Should the rule be dropped in two-legged finals? After all, it isn't used in the PL KOC, so why the play-off final? In any case, looks like we are set for an intriguing second leg tonight. Hope the Edinburgh and Somerset fans don't run out of fingernails to chew by the end. All the best Rob

Youngy, but surely you have to admit that Cookie does roll a little sometimes. In the Scunthorpe vs Edinburgh meeting earlier in the season, Cookie got away with such an outregeous roller in Heat 13 that he was able visit the bar on the first turn, buy and drink three pints, then have a play on the kiddies slide on the second turn, and still be leading up the back straight. Mind you, there are riders from all clubs who get a bit of a roller. At a recent meeting at Ippo, the Witches fans near me were getting in a right lather about Klindt & Jorgensen, while being completely oblivious to the fact that Tungate was doing exactly the same! All the best Rob

1. Hans Nielsen 2. Marvyn Cox 3. Simon Wigg 4. Ron How 5. Leigh Adams 6. Arne Pander (rode at that position quite a lot between '65 and '68... before it became a reserve position). 7. Martin Dugard Couldn't fit in Jason Crump, Greg Hancock, Nicki Pedersen, Billy Hamill or Tony Rickardsson. All the best Rob
