For anyone thinking we are against a weakened team, Etheridge got paid 14 last time so a good guest for Gusts who is now in the main body and Hagon is a good guest at reserve for Knudsen who got 3 last time.

You are against a weakened team but it’s Oxford’s own fault for signing riders who ride in Denmark on a Wednesday.

From a purely neutral prospective, I don't think you can judge it on one meeting last time out. I'm literally looking at last year's meeting for Berwick, and Etheridge scored 5 points from 6 riders. The year before? 1 point from 4 rides. 

If you look at the bigger picture, Gusts was competing in the Grand Prix Challenge at the weekend, and Knudsen finished third in Danish Championship. Etheridge and Hagon don't offer that sort of pedigree. 

I don't think there is any real doubt Oxford are weakened. In my opinion, a full strength Oxford side has to be one the strongest in the league, but how often have they actually been full strength? They've been weakened all season (which is partly their own doing, and partly down to injuries), so it's pretty much a normal strength Oxford lineup if you think like that.

Sizzling hot today and tomorrow. Need to flood the track tonight.

Well Oxford will feel at home at the wimbored road dust bowl, expect dust lots of it from heat 1 😛

Just having a latte waiting for @lbw to join with his flat white 😁

Another banana skin meeting for the pilots, last few meetings you all thought an easy win was on the cards, turned out you struggled to win, hopefully this one is a similar struggle 😁

Socials and local media really ramping up this evening's meeting!! Also weather is overcast with a slight risk of a light shower this afternoon which should help track prep no end.

LBW have a flat white with Shovvy later but make sure he pays!

Easy win for Poole.

If it turns out to be an "easy win", that'll be a "big result". Bearing in mind recent meetings.

Danny Ford reckons track prep will be totally different to recent weeks after frank discussions with all the Pirate riders. Terry the Track - its all yours......!!😄

Nice smooth consistent rack, a bit more shale, and plenty of water it is then;)

Very good Steve!  I dunno where LBW is maybe Shovvy has taken him out for the day for some flat whites.

Been spotted in the vicinity, looking for a Costa

To my knowledge trackmen listen to everyone & take their advice on board....

...Then produce the same track they prepare every other week!!
