On paper Oxford should win by about 20.

The Lions must and should be looking for a win here. They won’t have many better chances. A loss here and I can see them missing the play offs with opportunities like this.

He averaged more than a point a ride , so definetly scored but obviously nothing like he would have been expected to.

Funnily enough there were quite a few sensible Cradley fans who vocally supported Wolves after they closed but again you had several Cradley fans (or Neanderthals) that used to turn up at every meeting cheering for the opposition and trying to pick arguments with Wolves fans. i remember them well. Each to their own I guess.

Its true. Poland flexed there muscle again wanting Thursdays as a stand by day. They could have forced the extraliga riders whether to choose riding in the UK again.

Well done the Stars scoring 42 without a number one but then the Aces aren’t the team they were last season. Very respectable showing from the Stars.

Oh I agree on that point. I think because he usually scores well everywhere some people must assume he is a genuine top heat leader. His scores have been littered with poor results for years hence why his average is below 7.

His average starting was 6.53 so riding below that.

Tai always wants to appear cool, aloof and controversial. I get it. Whether it’s the right approach is a different matter. Either way, he has succeeded doing it his way and generally is the one the press and interviewers want to speak to the most.

Tai is also known as being a proven multi world champion. Controversy is part of his make up as well it seems. Tai is a proven world champion multi times over, Emil is not. Tai is a loose cannon and controversial character at times but has earned that right. Emil can be as interview perfect as he wants, he is very popular. Being a good interviewer doesn’t earn him the kudos that Tai already has.

Difference of opinion is ok. Thought he was on the cusp of the GPs 3 seasons ago, seems to have stalled or peaked. I still enjoy watching him race and a proper battler, not in the UK this year tho.

Not in the UK he won’t be.

I’ve rated him a long time and enjoy watching him race. He certainly hasn’t pulled up any trees for Birmingham tho.

Tai does, and is known for it. He is outspoken. People seem to have an issue with that.

Gutted that Milik hasn’t lasted very long. Was looking forward to seeing him again when hopefully he would have got more used to British tracks. On average it’s a like for like change but this is a downgrade signing and isn’t going to improve the team at all.

Miles apart this year I’d say. Woffy is a winner, he wants the best out of everyone on or in his team. He isn’t afraid to say it as it is. Its not like he is lying!

Perfect! Sheffield is such a dull track. Well done the Witches. Thompson the key man so far this season. Cant see anyone getting much against them this season.

Cook (from his one top flight meeting this year) probably could.

Good on him for taking opportunities while he can. TV work is about to get a whole lot busier tho.

Odd, just seen an interview with Garrity on the Birmingham official page that then suddenly disappeared. Anyone else see this?

Fair enough, it’s not often meetings start the 1st heat at the scheduled time for starting the meeting tho anyway.

Tigers through with ease

Must admit I was very surprised that people actually believe that the announced start time is the actual 1st race! Completely barmy!!! Speedway meetings always have had a start time (2.15pm, 7.30pm etc) which anyone that has ever been to a speedway meeting knows that meetings start with a parade AT that scheduled time. Heat 1 has never been at the announced start time. The only exemptions have been when the weather is bad or poor forecast so they forgo the parade and start heat 1 straight away. That’s an exemption not a normality. It makes you wonder if people commenting have ever been to an actual meeting!

He doesn’t want a full time top flight spot. He has made that very clear because of his TV commitments.

Correct. 4.57 so far this season.
