Will the Lions av the necessities of life?

Well that's a Turnip for the books! Last night I went to bed with a potato, she couldn't get her jacket off quick enuff!

Nathan Ablitt is a star in the making, I first noticed him and Max Perry at Rye House in 2018. Maybe he's a season behind some of his age like the Thompson's but he'll come good & did his job on Wednesday Shame Pirates don't run a junior team so they could recruit from their own developing riders like Leicester av with the Twins and others to follow them. Max James (mascot at Leicester) who isn't old enough for the NL yet but when he is will be more than ready to kick botty!

Yep the dust was a major problem last night and I think the only thing Peter York got right was when he mentioned he couldn't be sure who finished where in one race coz he cudn't see (for the dust). But Leicester also had this issue last Saturday. No reason for dust in the evening's and that's since speedway started. Oxford need to invest in a bigger water truck like Belle Vue's in the future. I'd rather have wet shale flung at me, to clarify....that is not a fetish may I add! Peter York needs to subscribe to BSN & all armchair speedway! I didn't mind the loud pumping music, for me it's all part of a big booming entertainment package, Fanfare for the Common Man was great but then sum nonsense added on! Overall it was great to see Oxford back, to see crowds back & more in the future according to the programme. Yep more cud get in. Sum gripes are no different to most other venues from time to time & some are 'u can't please everyone'. 3rd bend was pure Piracy!

Yessssssssssssss The Pirates did the bizzo and Turnip made the Twitter vlog in the pits at Cowley .....see Steve's link above Very close to my prediction of 49-41 but hey at one point it looked like the meeting was gonna turn out differently so 48-42 & 3points .......well done lads Great to see Oxford back on track & to see it being fantastically supported. #piratepride

Thought I was more a Bakewell tart , but wotever floats yer boat!

Mayo & Mustard!

Beautiful weather ere in Oxford! Me boat race may get sun burnt!

Exactly! I'm a Liver-Poole fan Both gonna win all the trophies this year

Let's see wot Win with a WORRALL says about that about!

Yep my prediction as well. Take all 4pts. This Pirate as arrived in Oxford

Ben Cook said, "Matt Ford and Danny Ford told me that if I didn't drink my milk I'd only be good enuff to ride for Ox Ford!" Zach replied, 'Who are they?" Ben said, "Exactly!"

Why didn't the water truck come out? The dust kicking up on bend one would have given you an interesting topping on top of your cheese n chips! Washed me bald head, which had a top coat of sun cream on it, when i got home and the towel i used to dry it with had more dirt on it than Leicester's track! But that's why we love speedway! Well done Lions on the win and a sound point for us Pirates

In these circumstances track covers would come in handy me thinks Oink oink

The flyover that was between One Stop and the stadium as actually gone Steve so u r actually correct!

Didn't travel from Poole as I'm near Leicester. Oh my, I just Farted ......sorry Arthur I've had onions!

I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY From 2pm till 3pm today it absolutely monsooned it down, I know coz I was in the One Stop Perry Barr sheltering! Nothing odd about it, the rain was bouncing off the tarmac for one hour!!! Never mind the earlier heavy showers. No way would a track survive that tropical rain storm. Think how I feel in a Travelodge in the MFN. Oink Oink

Still persisting it down! Anyone got the phone number for MiraclesRUs?

Hope they've got paper towels to soak the water up! I name this Storm....Storm Bugga!

TROPICAL STORM NOW!! RAIN HAMMERING DOWN

Me walkin days are well behind me like me curly tail!

This little oink as to leave early or he gets taken to market! I'm at KFC One Stop, made a pig of meself! Oh dear, me jokes don't get any better! MI5......now there was a Trotter in the Piglet Files!

Got me hotel room to chill in Admittedly PB is a tad ruff round the edges as I'm well versed in the area as I've been many times. But alas fear not, this liddle piggy goes oink oink oink!

Yep, just arrived in tropical Perry Barr! Blue skies & sun and quite warm C'MON THE PIRATES! 50-40 Pirates all 4pts

In Birmingham, short heavy shower but sun back out with lovely bits of blue. I've lost a trotter, anyone seen Uncle Albert?
