By rough calculation about 14? Bailey, borke and Gilkes wouldn't make a bad 7

Seems better than happening deepest Dorset riders announcing it through various channels. Feels better having quotes from riders etc on the official website imo..plus I think most fans knew most of side would be going anyway

Absolutely not. Thems the rules. Was yourself with the objections

But Steve... You said you wanted that "loophole" closed. Make up your mind man

Bit easier in a 38 limit, plenty experience in Poland now. Like to think could maintain that. I suppose our days of taking these risks on Aussies and Danes are gone, just pick up the ones who look like will make the grade elsewhere

I say it every winter but what about Fraser Bowes

I think he's had hangover from testimonial too, seen that happen many times before. When compare similar average options are sedgy and batch brother Steve looking all the more enticing!!

Could sign rew or bellego on 6

Well he wouldn't say I'm leaving this great club and wherever I go will be a step down tbf lol. Not what you want you're new home fans to hear no matter which it is. Personally not a huge fan of the worrals as riders but think on an 8 he does have a point could add in a weakened league so not the worst decision could make

Well least stopped the hundreds of Leicester fans from making a wasted journey for this important cup final...

Do Oxford have the best base to build on this season for a 38 point limit? Just been messing about with teams as you do this time of year and with a potential bottom four of Jenkins, Atkin, boughen and Killeen would leave enough to have the strongest top 3 in the league imo. Could be masters Nichols and a 6.00 or Pickering, Nichols and flint for example. You have Jenkins improving all the time and probably the best 2 pointers in the league. Before a riders been signed calling Oxford the team to beat

Yup, the nags will be next

https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/scottish-news/23875200.plans-demolish-greyhound-race-track-near-glasgow/ Sad to see shawfield go. But imagine mentioning Scottish monarchs before us, what an outrage lol

While I don't think it's a particularly strong looking team... Worrall a 2nd string? Don't see many 8 point second strings around

Aye it's poor form I agree. Up there with thinking the jubilee final is a real competition lol

They also said ben was a Poole asset in the article I read so doubted it's overall validity

Don't know what the German whose name I won't speak would be, but the last averages on bspl have clegg as 4.21

My opinion on that is that div1 has become so weak that div2 HLs who would've been 2nd strings or reserves in the past have become div 1 HLs. The issue is the weakening of the prem for which again the championship fans are being punished

Does Pickering not get a reduction for quitting the league for 2 weeks?

It's left us a little bit stunned and it's not ideal. Doesn't sound like he wanted it Now finish work and had time to read more than first line very valid points. I don't understand the "stronger sides" argument. Everyone builds to the same average. In theory the teams should all at least be competitive. Reducing the limit won't even the playing field. The "better" clubs will still attract the more attractively averaged riders and still be ones to beat

Yeah said that to the old man yesterday. Had hoped we had thrown together some kind of meeting this month to say goodbye, in particular to Tom and Ben. I'm not an end of season dinner guy so last will see them was the 1st leg. You will have that chance with Stevie and couple others no doubt

I don't see what Ford's problem is here? Surely giving fans a chance to say thank you to a guy who led you to every trophy available until end of this season it should be made public? Was obvious one of Richard or Stevie were going and the anointed one has had a better year. Won't it potentially add more fans to the gate too in what is otherwise an end of season challenge match? Sure Steve no had a vintage season, but that happens to everyone who has a testimonial year in my experience.

Who saw scunny winning without dougy winning a heat? Great effort

Well done scunny

I think Lee and bomber are good characters to have around the pits and for interaction with the fans too. Was reminiscent of the never to be forgotten Danny ayres in the Oxford and Poole meetings with Lee
