Your team manager's comments when Oxford lose come across as very limp and accepting. Where's the fury?

Scored 20 plus 1 from 7 at Coventry for Eastbourne but was pretty average in his next meeting at Arlington.

Can't argue, except hardly 'raved' But yes, highlighted Ben and Reid Battye as the two to look out for. Here in UK, both hit the ground running - Battye was running up huge Championship scores when struck down from behind by an out-of-control Dane, and Whalley has been a superb reserve for Edinburgh's Academy so far . It was only a matter of time before he ascended to the CL. So, quietly pleased with my talent-spotting!

And again for tonight!

Advance ticket means you just get scanned in, avoiding any queue.

A certain @crescent girl raved about this kid in Australia over winter, could be one to watch, especially if he is qualified British ?

Can anyone who has been before advise as to whether the best option is advance ticket or pay on arrival ?

Don't forget he's a Poole rider... surely they're to blame 👍🏻😁

Not really, he’s on a very false 2.00 average as it’s his first season in British speedway. Once he gets his first true average, he’ll be a heat leader on a near 10 point average. It’s no different to Will Cairns and Cooper Rushen starting on a 2.00 last season. I like Tom, he’s given it his all, but Ben is quicker and will score more points

Got Kurtz written all over this GP home track one the best gater's and it will be slick ,unless BZ gating improves he will be on a damage limitation exercise hoping to make the final .

At reserve. Makes the decision even more baffling.

If Glasgow had got beaten it would have been how terrible the track is but because they won no mention of how bad the track was.

I think you will find that this is the landlords and developers fault... Or the promoters of the 70's who used to take their money out of the stadia in a wheelbarrow and didn't purchase the stadiums they raced in..... Oh, and Poland obviously...

That’s positive, but unless they sort out the track issues and, by consequence, improve the racing, they’ll continue to lose support, as is becoming more evident every week.

Hmm. So Glasgow moan about Poole being too slick and that is why they can't win there. Yet Oxford is slick but they can win. So obviously not the reason! Reading through everything seems like Oxford are trying to save as much money as possible. Probably just what you have to do when you only have a short term future.

The gift. TAF.

Well that’s 1 wildcard accounted for then 😉

Here's hoping!

You watch football between the heats. Football is definitely something to have on in the background anyway.

Holder has score of 4, 6 and 8 away from home this year. He's not ridden there before. So I'd say that's unlikely.

My first visit this year, and once again disappointed with the lack of any passing once the first lap had been completed. I note some complaining about the lack of a racing line out wide, which Bomber's poor score would seem to validate. What I noticed last season on the couple of occasions I visited was how dominant gates 1 and 3 were in comparison to 2&4, and it was sadly true again tonight. 1 &3 had 11 of the race winners, and scored 59-31 overall. Gate four scored 9 points all evening! That can't be conducive to producing good racing when there is such an imbalance. Even the best rider on show, Sam Masters dropped his only points when out of 2 or 4. There is some banking, yet there doesn't seem to be any advantage going out wide, as Mitch McDiamid found out. Is that down to track prep? Was it too slick? I had read that they had had a delivery of shale recently, so was expecting some good racing. I used to rate the track, but recent visits have disappointed. A great shame, given all the effort at such a superb venue.

I see that Cooper Rushen has had to withdraw from the semi-final because he can't get back in time following Saturday's European U19 meeting. Great scheduling once again

🤔

Workington were never going to win the league Cook or no Cook.
