We can agree on this!

One club did!

I agree with this. The rulebook doesn’t say semi final for BSN Series doesn’t count, and since they’ve made it that far, they should be able to claim them.

Away win, all day long. Ah, it’s an evening meeting, isn’t it?

Whilst Starke was terribly disappointing for us, it’s the right change to make if you want to make the playoffs.

Ah, yes, I did the maths too early in the morning and confused myself. Hard to see who could fit there. Personally, I’d love to see Glasgow sign Rowe with Worrall out.

Yes, they would.

I think there's a reason he didn't get back to them. Certainly, his surprise at not being included in the Glasgow team for this year in his tweet at the end of the season wasn't real. It was a shame he left the club how he did. If he'd just said "I'd rather ride somewhere else next year", every reasonable person would have understood.

He looked tidy last night. He didn't use those lines last year!

Nothing wrong with the Lawson exclusion. Ben Cook's was a mystery. But it was Dave Watters. He's making it his calling card.

I do wonder if we might be tempted to sign Rowe as a replacement for Worrall. Not sure what guests we can line up to replace him while he's still out, and unsure if he will be able to return after the 28 days.

James Pearson has really improved over the season. Fantastic to see.

I don't think either Glasgow or Workington are Oxford's rivals. We're just not that good, Comets undone by Tate's injury, I think.

I would too, although Ivacic wasn't very impressive last week. I think we will struggle.

I don't think that's the case. I think they have decided they want the stadium as full as possible, and as good businessmen, they will know very well how much money was in the streaming. They have very clearly decided it wasn't worth it.

Mainly because I was referring to Tate's replacement. Personally, I feel Workington shouldn't replace Celina, but if they were to, yes, he could make sense.

That would be a very positive spin.

Don’t see why that would be the case. He has an official average: 7.36.

Shooting those seagulls should be an interval contest. I have seen the video of Bomber in heat one from the starting tapes. He is clearly contacted, so I was wrong on that. None of us on the third bend saw that at the time.

Sadly no drone footage tonight to settle it!

Possibly, but they were right to be incensed. Totally Ivacic's fault. Bomber shouldn't have been allowed back in heat one either.

Have we paid the ref off tonight?

Not really sure how it's all four back!

You could support their opponents...

I heard Leon would be at 5, so they must have changed their minds. Personally, I would have preferred R/R, but with two new riders tonight, perhaps that was a gamble too far. No good reason for us to lose tonight, even with Worrall out. James should do very well at reserve, Jack should be fine at 2, presumably it was Ivacic practicing yesterday so I’d expect him to get off to a good start as well. Worrall, Starke and Ace combined to average about 14 points in home meetings so far this year. Probably need Ivacic to score about 9 if we want to improve on that.
