Revenge plans from the Oxford fans at Oxford leg of the cup so far: Boo the whole Poole team on parade. Have a 'word' with Vinnie in the pits.

Doesn't sound like Luke is riding or that Starke is either. Might be difficult getting guests as some riders might be on holiday now.

They couldn't have had Starke anyway as rode in the playoffs for Worky.

Exactly. He makes a messed up comment about a young rider and we're biased for having a problem with it.

If they are going to start on him, what do they expect? Vinnie not going to stand there and take it. Maybe not do it when he is stuck under the air fence! What about Oxford fans apparently threatening children according to a fan on twitter?

What a pathetic stupid comment to say. Saying a 17/18 year old is going to be in a wheelchair. You really are messed up in the head.

What a surprise!!! They really are something else.

If that was the case the ref would have stopped the meeting imo until he got medical treatment.

Yeah. Hasn't rained as much today as was predicted imo. Although there was some bouncy rain around!

BBC lol. They always say it's raining. Lost count of times they say thunderstorm and nothing happens. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcn8db1mu#?date=2024-10-09

Or the behind the scenes stuff that has been happening in the pits if you believe what you read.

Or even swim it with the thunderstorms around later!

That's a different context though. When anyone says 'he took him out' in relation to speedway they don't mean that, as well you know. More like they mean they rode into the side of someone or squeezed them against the fence, took their line etc. There you go a sport definition rather than you twisting words to mean something else. take someone out 1. tv. to block someone, as in a football game. www.thefreedictionary.com

Are you talking about the official Oxford one or the really crazy fan one?

Depends who is saying it really.

Is that the official line? As someone posted on SM that he just didn't turn up.

Heavy showers all day Tues ( like last week) so won't be surprised to see it pushed back to Friday as track will be wet and we don't do so well then.

Which is why they started on him in the first place, wasn't he on a 5-1 in H12?

True but the fans will know that is going to happen though that is why they do it. Or I suppose you could be like Ben Barker and do a sneaky middle finger under his other arm.

Then maybe Oxford fans should have thought better before winding riders up as they will always give a hand gesture.

The curse of winning. You get too used to it. So every time we are in a final, if we don't win each leg then 'we are rubbish.' According to some. Although looking at HL scores of 7, 7 and 4, done well to only be 12 down. Will be difficult and kinda need 3 Oxford riders to struggle but could be last heat decider or Super Heat yet!!

First of all I wouldn’t have Gilkes at Poole, normally struggles. Got 2 for Redcar I believe.
