How many of these missing riders will be seen in walkabout tonight in Cardiff

Think you've totally missed the point. This Fixture traditionally night b4 SGP at Cardiff. Was previously at Somerset who had a 4000 crowd in 2019. Oxford now most suitable with decent capacity adjacent to M4 link to South Wales.

I might be way off the mark here but perhaps the pay rates might be at basic level and the riders just dont want to ride for that level,save myself for poland !

Steady- you will be accused of arguing

Lots of negativity on this thread which isn't matched by the atmosphere and support at Oxford this year. Come along to Oxford for a night of speedway and enjoy the experience that the fans are enjoying this season!

Never in doubt. Well done boys.

Is English Alun Rossiter's first language?

In case humans can’t see them I guess.!

Not sure that one page in a month largely devoted to Batchelor's inconsistency really constitutes "lots of negativity" Rob. And Batchelor has been ... err ... inconsistent. What has struck me is that pretty much every meeting I've come away thinking that was a good meeting (and in a couple of cases great) something I can't say about most of the tracks I've attended regularly.

Great that the Ippo fans have the pleasure of watching Doyley everyweek.He was worth the entrance fee alone when he was at the Abbey he was a pleasure to watch.I miss that very much, good luck to the Witches for the run in for the title they certainly have character as a team and battle on.

Batch didn’t make a start all night!? Haha doyle made Grand Prix level starts and if we’re pulling him back for them what we saying about 4 out of 5 of Lawson’s efforts from the gate? Or did we miss his flyers through our rose tinted spectacles?? I think Doyle proved on the track when he did miss the start only to come from back and pass both worrall and Klindt with ease that him being first or last out of the gate made little difference….what lost kings lynn the meeting tonight was klindt messing around in heat 14

It’s going to happen when riders are on a guarantee

His Dad

Thanks to several teams the whole league has been a mockery this year and I can't see next year being any better. The only way the sport is going to regain any credibility, in my opinion, is to go back to a single league of a decent standard with no doubling up (or down) and teams that can't attract riders amalgamate with the NDL and hopefully bring up the standard and give young/new riders more experience. Yes I can hear riders saying they need two teams to earn a living but back before doubling up diluted the sport world class riders rode in BL div 1 for one team only and earned however they could.

You will need something stronger than Irn Bru to imagine that happening.

I'm just wondering what is never in doubt?

You are taking the p out of supporters that actually travel around the country to support their team?

Congratulations to Redcar

Great effort by the Bandits .Unlucky on the count back.Well done to the Redcar Bears.

Come on Redcar all of Plymouth are cheering for you.

Going to wear my Benjamin basso pyjamas tonight. Absolute legend. Great effort humey too

What home advantage

After the British Final you post this

Leicester chose 2 of top 3 Edinburgh 1 & 2 now injured or carrying knocks Glasgow 1 & 3 injured, 2 at GP/GP2 practice Scunthorpe 1 & 2 injured, 3 having minor operation Birmingham 1, 4 & 5 injured, 2 suspended(taking sabbatical) Poole chose 2 of top 3 Plymouth less said the better Berwick chose 1 & 2 although 3 at GP practice Oxford chose 1 & 3, 2 who knows where Redcar chose 1 & 3, 2 injured Open your eyes people. If League/KO meetings would missing riders be present??????

Roynon in for Plymouth!!

Don't you believe it. In Post Brexit Britain, just watch how creative with their visa related excused promoters are going to get. And for as long as the BSPZzz allow "facilities" for riders who are "victims" of "visa delays" the more farcical the situation will become.

Other than 1 suspended rider and those that are injured, and I bet they'd all prefer to be uninjured or not suspended isn't the only one missing Hans Andersen due to a prior engagement. Maybe there should be a month of no racing so no riders cant get injured too near to the day

What has happened with the pairs only reflects the current state of G.B. speedway it's in dire straights & nobody on the BSP? seems to realise. Heads in the sand!

Bomber is have a great season in Championship everywhere .

Well whoever is or isn't riding, let's just hope for some good racing! Feel for Edinburgh though, as with Sam and Josh surely they would have won it.

I sit in line with the start gate and some fans do tend to make a 3 course meal out of things. I think Lynn had possibly two infringments one was called back if i remember correctly, doyle maybe had one but i put it down to him being superior out of the gate, a fraction of a second delay from others can make it look like a jump start when its not If false starts are what some want to cling on to then you're due an almighty fall

Obviously there are a few reasons why Berwick haven't made the play offs yet again, riders loosing form etc, one of the biggest was when Jye Etheridge started the season at reserve, many saw that as a trump card, sadly his injury in April is something never really covered or recovered from.

I'm selling Shane Parker Pens, just had a big 'Batch' delivered!

Feel for Oxford. This should be highlight of their very successful season relaunch turning into bit of a farce.

Or ever was.

No engine issues that I saw, the clock had counted to zero and he was still off the bike, gardening, then proceeded to get on the bike and pull further back from the tapes and adjusted clutch. Red lights came on and he then came up to tapes.

It can be summed up in three words: Never In Doubt

Always one

Why would any team want a guest in club pairs ?

Jk`s excellent racecard for Cardiff GP https://www.speedwayservice.at/images/racecards/2022/SGP2022-06.pdf

Enjoy!

It's either April 1st or you guys should work for the BSPA with crackpot ideas like that!

I'm looking forward to it, 23 heats of racing, good track, warm weather. Agree may not have gone if paying on day, but will enjoy it nevertheless. A few tickets leftLiving in Swindon only second meeting of year for me.

It's not their event though they are only the host for the BSPL

To the shock of no one rider's dropping out this morning

On that basis does Scott Nicholls have to drop out of the Oxford duo ??

Senior Council members are usually invited at least once every season. I expect Matt will also come over from France to schmooze them. The Council are looking at all sorts of new plans across the whole Poole Bournemouth Christchurch conurbation which won't be finally announced til autumn 2024 at the earliest, so the Pirates should have at least another 2 seasons at Poole Stadium and then who knows?

Reading the match thread the Plymouth fans are Slightly underwhelmed by Leon guesting. I always thought he rode Armadale well.
