No idea who would be available because whilst its the only match in the UK tonight i am not clued up on foreign commitments. Based on Kings average though, i would have looked at Dan Thompson or Niklai Klindt, especially the latter, good gating and going pretty well right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeOldPitGate Posted Wednesday at 06:49 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 06:49 PM Early doors but shaping up that this could be an absolute hiding which is never good for the sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted Wednesday at 08:02 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 08:02 PM With some quick thinking by Dayle Wood by either rolling into the tapes, or pulling back & waiting for the red light, Oxford could've had Ritchings in the re-run of heat 4. Lost points perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebee Posted Wednesday at 09:28 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 09:28 PM For one heat with Harris, Nicholls and Kennett in it I was transported back in time to to a place in the fabled Midlands area. And then I woke up and swallowed lump of asphalt that flew at me. Anyway, I enjoyed the meeting - both teams put in a good shift. But a particular big well done to the track staff - Sandy Lane has been well, sandy! Like a scene from Lawrence of Arabia. And I was expecting the same tonight. but thought it held up well considering the exceptional heat and dryness. Well done the men - and possibly women - in overalls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toady Posted Thursday at 08:54 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:54 AM Thoroughly enjoyed last nights match. Given the conditions, the track was a significant improvement and both teams were very competitive.Good to see Anders show some form. Onwards and upwards!

Marky_Mark Posted Thursday at 10:17 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:17 AM It’s the lack of points by Grmek from reserve which is really starting to affect the Gladiators results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not just been lacking points but miles off the pace. Whalley was far more competitive on Wednesday. He needs to sort himself out quickly.
