thought the track was poor again last night, you can see why they pay top dollar for there riders, hardly anything going out of the shale expenditure column!

Tuesday's drenching can't have helped. But the lack of overtaking after the first lap seems to have got lost in all the other 'noise'

they go on about Nichols  having a bad night he put more effort in than anyone last night at trying to over take.

Me reckons Ben put in a lot of effort in heat 5 to overtake so Nicholls wasn't putting in more effort than anyone.

I know Oxford like to promote their youngsters & that is admirable, but there is a time & a place for doing that. Imo it's not when you are chasing a Premiership play-offs place (dropping Kemp) not in a grand final (not using Starke?)

Maybe they tried a guest & couldn't get one, but I agree Starke could've made a big difference.

Starke couldn’t have been used as he rode for Workington in the play offs

Plenty or here wanting to vilify Vinnie, but Luke has had his fair share of causing crashes in the last couple of season being slightly reckless shall we say. Inexperience and over enthusiasm from both I would say.Seen plenty of others over the years.

Personally I like Vinnie, as a fan I want a rider in my team to give maximum effort but he needs to mature and I believe he will. He has a lot of potential to be a good rider.

One from more recent times. Josh Bates. An absolute liability on a Speedway  bike.

A journeyman? Kasprzak was a world number 2. If Boughen can have a career like KK did, he'll have done very 

Noun

journeyman (plural journeymen)

  1. A tradesman who has served an apprenticeship and is employed by a master tradesman
  2. A competent but undistinguished tradesman, especially one who works, and is paid by the day.
  3. (Sports)A player who plays on many different teams during the course of his career 

Yes, a journeyman because that's  what he was.His ability was questioned by somebody else not me.
The point is Ashton has only just started his career and is still very much a novice so to compare him Kasprazak is ludicrous.
