That wouldn't be the same Mr Bowes who was gonna be a world beater for the pilots 🤔. As I've said before your welcome to him and he is showing his true worth 😀

Where has it been said he's going to be a world beater

Always good racing at worky, ask cooper next week if he enjoys Workington track or Poole track best 😜😀

Doesn't matter which track he likes best, he's a Poole rider, end of

Well, that wasn't a classic was it!?

Any movement off the blue groove and riders just went backwards.

Took my Mrs to her first meeting since 2003 and she simply said "it's not as exciting as it used to be is it?"

You can't dish that sort of meeting up regularly.and hope to take the sport forward!

Enjoyed tonight, good to see some action after all that’s gone on recently. The crowd wasn't that bad, but obviously the weather played a part.

 

The Unipart car park situation was a bit embarrassing, but hopefully sorted for next week. The highlight for me was the Poole reaction when Killeen was excluded and then Wood replacing him for a 5-1 with Masters.

 

I will say for all those complaining about the track, for us to even have any Speedway to watch is something to be thankful for.

As someone who was there, I would say the track was dire, I assume track wasnt watered due to possibility of  rain so it was very dusty and passing was almost impossible. They did go round with the water truck once but it was still very dusty. Riss was a big miss for Oxford but our riders were very poor early on, most surprising was Lawson. If Bowes rides like that again he deserves to go,awful from him. In the end we did well to score 39.

Well that was unexpected!!

Poole fans on here are just hilarious having the actual audacity to have a go at another track when the whole speedway fanbase knows Poole is by some way the worst track in the league 

Shovlar saying sedgeman is a good replacement for Riss either shows he is thick or simply trolling 

Let’s be fair if Oxford where at full strength they could have been close to 60

Sedgeman is a track specialist, he certainly didnt show it tonight though.

Cracking evening. 

Decent crowd considering the forecast - although would have been bigger had more Poole fans made the trip. Lot less Pirates' fans tonight than Coventry brought a fortnight ago. 

Track prepared for rain that didn't come, but still favoured those who attacked it. such as Mitch McDiarmid.

What a performance from Dayle Wood - masterclass in gating and also lovely team-riding in Heat 8 to ensure the 5-1.

I dont think they do hope to take the sport forward thats the problem.

Bowes would not be end of the World though as ultimately last season was his first in UK so maybe with the right attitude there may be more to come.
