Kings Lynn will have the best reserve..People keep going on about Kerr but he hardly ever makes a full season without being dropped.

So Kemp replaces Kerr, who replaced Cook, who replaced .. Kemp (@ Leicester)

And they can have Cook back if they want him

Didn't Kerr replace Cook at Leicester last year? Or have I got that wrong?

I think you may be right, they all seem interchangeable, there's only Batchelor missing from this equation

Schroeck wants to keep Riss at reserve, there’s no way he’s getting replaced 

If that's the case, just keep Kerr!

[Hilly]

Surely there has to be another change on the way.

[BackInTheDHSS]

Almost like they are deliberately trying to weaken the team. Perhaps they're scared they might make the playoffs and have to pay the riders for a few more meetings.

[Hilly]

Crikey, if Oxford are struggling cash wise then everybody else must be, crowds are very good in Premiership, decent sponsorship. Championship levels seem slightly down but still more than most other tracks and Chargers crowds very good.

Will be very revealing when the time comes to declare for next season.

Has to be cash related.

Nobody would ever consider making that change with the opinion that it improves the overall 1-7.

Kerr 4 + 1 from 10 rides, team is hardly going to be any weaker. 

He gets no luck with injury, could have been so much different, but this may well be best for both rider and team.

Maybe oxford just aren't very good at running a speedway team,it happens

[Racin Jason 72]

Do the Courtney’s pick the team and let  schroeck manage it or does he have control over who rides and who doesn’t.

You're probably right. They're ok at running 3 teams though. Some clubs can't be arsed to run 2.

[gjcone44]

lets hope they fill it.

[szkocjasid]

With more dropped home points, struggle to see Oxford making the play-offs now. Lack of bonus points really costing them. 

Their own fault for making the team weaker than. On paper Leicester & Lynn should be good enough at home to finish above Oxford.

You've been Kemped!

OK, so Chris Harris has had a couple of bad meetings, ( he has had hundreds of good ones) so you want to replace a rider who gives his all with someone else who no doubt in a few weeks you will want replacing and so the cycle carries on desperate team changes never work especially when there are very few better options out there.

People were calling for changes to the Cheetahs a couple of weeks ago, but the meeting against Redcar apart from the bowser incident was full of excitement and great racing from the very riders that people wanted to get rid of.
