  1. If you had a huge Worldwide company who splashed a few dollars to buy the rights to the FIM Speedway Individual, team and pairs championships. Maybe they could hire the Olympic stadium at Stratford Plenty of room in there for a pretty big track and lots of spectators
  2. I'd agree that George Congreve could probably do a job for another CL team. At the end of the day signing for Newcastle was a bad move for him, it must be one of the hardest tracks to master in Britain. Then with no disrespect to the rest of the team they didn't have the strength in depth to be able to carry him until he got into the groove. On the IOW riding on a track of a type he is more used to riding he's showing what he can do. We have few enough riders in this country as it is so hopefully depending on Leagues and strengths of them in 2023, someone will take a punt and give him a teamspot.
  3. Didn't Alan Grahame get special dispensation to ride while using a medication on the banned list which was prescribed back in the 80s ?
  4. They're selling fast according to what was announced during the meeting tonight.
  5. There's a trophy to be potentially won, a stronger team no doubt stands a chance of making the final and going on to win. Or go down the Newcastle route and put together a weak team and expect miracles. I know which team build I prefer
  6. One of those meetings where the scoreline doesn't tell the whole story. Some decent racing , Dillon Ruml in heat 6 was worth the admission on its own. Fairplay also to Jamie Courtney and his team, hottest day on record and no clouds of dust.
  7. The rain was a big leveller that night and Justin Sedgeman had a fantastic debut for the Brummies
  8. The Vegas of the west had some very good nights out in Burnham on Sea after the pairs
  9. I was actually surprised that the bars and food outlets in the stands weren't card only payments. Obviously the outside bars and food outlets would be a decision down to the owner of each one. Programmes could easily be an option to choose when buying the ticket and you pick it up on entry
  10. When in the meeting did Dickie the Gater get eaten and when did the rules change to allow the opposition to eat a rider ?
  11. Jonas Knudsen has bucketloads of potential, he's seriously good. Track way to heavy for our boys and they all left their gating gloves at home. One of the lesser meetings racingwise at Oxford this season. Fairplay to the Bandits they rode into town and stole the goods The Birdwatcher let us down, Again
  12. I know a few of the Cheetahs are from downunder but you can't really call us OZford
  13. I know he waited a long time but the one who waited 19 weeks was a woman who just wanted to go on holiday
  14. I heard on Radio Oxford either earlier this week or the tail end of last week that representatives of PETA were invited To the stadium to see the facilities for the Greyhounds and talk to those involved in running the Greyhounds, they declined I'm rapidly approaching my 60th birthday in an an ever changing World, where what was common usage of language in my youth is now frowned upon. I'd say in my life i've been pretty open and not given a toss about Race, Religion, Sexuality etc but to come across people who only believe what they want to hear/see and never listen to the otherside of the argument, you're all just narrowminded IMO.
  15. A lot Probably depends on if he has any British Patriality as I bet getting a Visa/work permit takes months nowadays. I read yesterday that someone who is a British citizen waited 19 weeks for a passport.
  16. If you read through various match topics you'll find around a million billion posts re no pay at the gate. You can buy online from the official site and if the meeting isn't soldout you can turn up on the night and buy online at the Stadium. I've heard you can pay by card at the gate, But I've not seen anyone paying on the night myself
  17. Wasn't it great, big crowd, good racing, last heat decider Let's hope it catches on
  18. Having seen the Thompson's this week for the first time in the flesh I feel if the present league setup and rules remain the same. That they would both benefit greatly from riding at a different home track in either Championship or NDL.
  19. Just watching Sky Racing channel which is showing a live race from Newcastle and the air fence is still there.
