Might explain why Jake Turner was having a practice on Saturday? Previously held a 2.49 ave.

No idea yet, but with some averages dropping, max Perry now fits, Vinnie making good recovery, so cooper can guest if he fancies racing on a decent track 😜

Cooper on it tonight. This lad is class. Better than Cairns

Got very big reserve issues. Carry one but not Two

Sheffield reserves very poor Lynn reserves very good. Not much else to say really! can’t work out if either team are good or poor

Poor kid should never have been signed. I do hope his confidence isn’t completely shattered.

Night all

Out Kvech, in Daniel Klima

I think a pirates win, but with nothing riding on the bonus point who knows who will get it. I’m sure we will see a lot better racing in this leg than the first. reserves will be vital, I don’t see the Oxford boys scoring as many here as they did at home. Other than that I think the pirates can match or beat their opposite number. Interested in particular to how Bowes and Newman get on

Know lack of confidence tonight 10+1 😁

Who's replacing him mate

The tigers turn the heat up to make it interesting

Lynn are poor kvech shouldn't be this bad and tbh fricke has started poor aswell

Unfortunately the young kid was nowhere near championship level, don't know why he got signed in the 1st place, especially having to travel from Kent every week. Hope he can regain his confidence in the NDL

I noticed your team have dropped a young British rider, if it was Poole I'm sure you would have a lot to say

Forgot to say @Bagpuss the centre green grass has been cut 😀 Andrew bain even mentioned you in his program notes, saying it had been far too wet to cut the grass in previous weeks

The mind boggles

It's a strange one how Leon Flint can elect to do an SEC qualifier missing his Glasgow Cup match at Plymouth and receive no ban but "injured" riders cop a ban 🤔🤷‍♂️

Never rated him anyway.Killeen was hit and miss with Oxford too last year.

Official statement now made…Etherington released by the club.

Sheffield have got a huge problem with Etheridge. He's riding like an out of depth Rising Star.

Oh goody just seen this is live on BSN, can sit on me sofa watching cooper Rushen ride 😀. Oh and watch Oxford win 😜🤣

Lynn reserves on form tonight

Gusts signs for Rzeszow and makes debut tomorrow in Poznan

It's a sport that doesn't follow an operating model that any team sport should.. In the UK... A team sport should have emotional engagement.. For good or bad, but never, indifference... UK Speedway doesn't engage that emotional attachment... Who cares who wins competitions that have little prestige or financial reward? And can be won by other teams helping you win by loaning you their competitors, often to the detriment of their own team, their other riders, and (most importantly), their own fans.. The sport is full of Hobbyists who are quite happy to rub shoulder to shoulder with a level of rider that they simply couldn't afford if they solely had to pay his wages... Hobbyists who are quite content to put out "any Speedway" given winning or losing won't impact them positively, or adversely, to any serious degree.. Basically Dean, the sport has ran its course, still using a 60 year old operating model, without any major customer focused changes... (What you could get a way with 60 years ago, you have no chance in a 24/7 instant media)... It is now nothing more than a conduit for riders to try and earn a years worth of money in six months, with a willing promoter happy to enable them to do so.. The fervant, almost indecent haste, to ensure six teams in tier one, so plenty could double up, clearly showed that... The sport has become mundane, which, ironically, given its ultra exciting raw product, is an indictment on those in charge... The sport needs energy, desire, ambition and passion from its leaders... It seems to have none of that..
