Things not going too well for Oxford, it seems. Unable to fill their teams but able to announce that admission prices are going up next season (only by £1). And they intend to charge £2 to park in a car park they don't own and which is a 10 minute walk from the track? I know, be grateful that speedway is back at Oxford...

Vuolas great entertainment, decent reserve with some improvement in him, zischke will be in the Grand Prix by his mid twenties

Is there a rider you don’t think is on a downward arc? Nothing to suggest Lawson will be anything but a continued solid rider and he’s better round Lynn than anywhere else, king Lynn look a solid outfit, potential for a couple to make a step forward to higher level and several seasoned riders, avoiding injuries will be key but I rate them above Leicester for sure

I don't see Luke riding NL next year. 1 Jason Garrad 8.36 2 Senna Summers 3.44 3 Ashton Vale 6.17 4 Jacob Clouting 5.04 5 Jody Scott 8.10 6 3.89 Left 3.89 7 Declan Killeen 3.00

Hard to imagine Zagar averaging less than 7 to be honest. Knows the tracks well and will settle down at Birmingham pretty quickly. Always liked him, thought he would go all the way to the very top after seeing his debut season with Trelawny where he was even better than Iversen who Newport signed. From memory averaged nearly 10 in his debut season. Was a class act for Reading too. Hopefully the ambition being showed by Brum works out. Signing Nilsson, Zagar, Thorsell and Tobi as well as Rew wont come cheap but if they do all click then they could be quite a top side.

There was huge talk of a track opening just down the road from Newport in Magor but haven't heard anything about that for a long time now. Must be dead in the water. In a time where the sport is absolutely on its knees, I can't see it returning to Wales any time soon.
