Francis Gusts and Jonas Knudsen on Danish League duty this Wednesday

Cheetahs have booked Jody Scott and Luke Harrison as guests.

There is just no credibility to the sport these days.You only attend to see some speedway racing.

Least it’s only 2 guests and R/R this time and not 4 and R/R like the other week. 
 

Positives and all that.   
 

Oxford just like the away leg benefitting from guests.

What’s the point of having Jonas Knudsen in the team? I think this is the fifth league meeting in a row he has been riding somewhere else. That’s a third of the season.

Gusts is giving him good competition, however won’t bother Oxford much as they can bring in stronger guests each time.

You're probably the only person in the world who thinks Lasse Fredriksen is an upgrade on Mitch McDiarmid, Ben Morley is an upgrade on Jonas Knudsen and Jacob Hook is an upgrade on Francis Gusts. 

You also seem to have invented R/R for Cheetahs tomorrow, when Cam is back from injury.

Keep taking the pills, Blobby!

Round Armadale, Hook and Fredriksen are an upgrade on the above, two riders who have done plenty of laps round the place against 2 riders who have never seen the place in their life. 
 

I’d come off whatever ones you’re on. 😂

Scott and Harrison are stronger than Knudsen and Gusts. Are you clinically insane?

Far more consistent anyway, know what you’re getting with those 2 compared the the later.

Think Edinburgh have got a decent chance in this one, considering Jenkins isn't setting the world alight at the moment and Oxford are weakened with the guests. Monarchs should easily have enough for the bonus point at least.

Mitch never seen Poole before and still beat Lawson comfortably. Someone i would never write off and did well at Plymouth first time as well.

All this rammel that Blobby is spouting is incredibly rich seeing as for years other teams have ended up at Armadale with key riders missing due to weekend commitments and Mr Campbell was always heavily involved in the fixture planning.

A fine accusation you’ve made there any facts or figures to back it up or just having a wee howl at the moon to yourself?

You seriously have to ask "what is the point?" of running these 'guestfests' week in, week out, don't you? 

You simply cannot take the competition seriously can you? 

And by organising such events, knowing so many riders will be elsewhere, just suggests that those who run the sport don't take it too seriously either...

An amazing operating model to run, if you believe it will be successful, in the internet world of 2025...

Probably not enough days in the week to fit in fixtures when riders are available due to other commitments, stadium availability  and injuries which affect team line ups.

Not ideal I know but until another system is brought in we are stuck with the current operating model.

I did think at the time when Oxford went up to Edinburgh with a made up team that it was stretching the credibility of the sport!
