Oxford v Glasgow - Play Offs - 13 Sept
Bojangles replied to Grachan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
No, sadly not. Oxford don't stream matches, and it's not on BSN. -
Oxford v Glasgow - Play Offs - 13 Sept
Bojangles replied to Grachan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Cameron Heeps has scored very well at home at number 2 all season, it's away from home he's really struggled in that position. His scores at number 2 at Sandy Lane have been superb: vs Poole: 8+1 vs Edinburgh: 10+1 vs Redcar: 7 vs Plymouth: 9+1 vs Poole: 7 vs Birmingham: 9+1 vs Scunthorpe: 3 -
Oxford v Glasgow - Play Offs - 13 Sept

Oxford signing Boughen and dropping Killeen was amicable by both parties. Killeen understood the move, especially considering his lack of time on the bike this season. He's part of Oxford's long-term plans, he's gaining experience with the Chargers (and guest bookings) and is expected to be named in the side next year. Not sure why some people are pushing a 'Killeen is upset' narrative, when it's simply not true. He has no desire to race against Oxford. -
That said..... maybe the length of the ban isn't relevant to what was taken. I've just found this article from Ellis Jones Solicitors, who handled Ben's case, and it looks like he got a reduced ban because the testing procedure wasn't followed correctly.... https://www.ellisjones.co.uk/news/anti-doping-case-success/

They don't, but you can probably get a good idea from the length of the ban. If it's not intentional and for something like painkillers, they'll probably just get something like an 8-month ban (like Ben Barker) and they'll be able to ride next season. If they end up getting a two-year ban, then you know it's more serious.

Nice one, cheers.

Oxford now facing Glasgow on Wed 20th Sep, so presume the Monarchs Academy match will be moved now.

Shame. As Glasgow vs Oxford and Glasgow vs Redcar have the making of two great meetings.

I'm afraid it is. Narcissism means to have an excessive self image/self-importance. Anyway, I'm sure you could argue about all day about it even though you're wrong. Fact is, nobody believes you are new here (let alone the fact you've only just gone to your first meeting in years - as you like to tell everybody), so just do yourself a favour and drop the act. Nobody comes on to a forum for the first time and posts almost 100 times in just two weeks and argues with all the members who post regularly (amongst other things already mentioned). Nobody sane anyway.

The word ‘correctly’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this sentence.

Redcar v Glasgow 10th September
Bojangles replied to Biffa's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
That's your opinion. I was stating a fact. Poland has priority on a Sunday, I don't know why this is so hard to understand. I believe Wright signed as injury cover for Wroclaw around August 10, a good three weeks before Woffinden got injured at Cardiff, so not sure where you got your info from. If Wright was to ride for Redcar on Sunday, he would be withholding his services in Poland - not the other way around. -
A big meeting in the race for the last playoff spot. I think the Colts still need a miracle, but could do themselves a big favour with a healthy win over the Lion Cubs tonight. Both sides looking weaker than usual with rider replacement for James Pearson and Sam McGurk guesting for Sam Hagon, while Ben Morley is in for Dan Thompson and Danny Phillips for Ashton Boughen. Belle Vue Colts: 1. Rider replacement, 2. Matt Marson, 3. Sam McGurk, 4. Freddy Hodder, 5. Jack Smith, 6. Jack Shimlet, 7. Luke Muff Leicester Lion Cubs: 1. Ben Morley, 2. Max Perry 3. Danny Phillips, 4. Tom Spencer, 5. Joe Thompson, 6. Vinnie Foord 7. Max James Thoughts?

Redcar v Glasgow 10th September
Bojangles replied to Biffa's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Sunday is a priority race night for Poland, so he's not withholding his services. Only way he would be withholding his services is if he rode for Redcar and turned down Wroclaw! As soon as he signed a contract with Wroclaw, he has to ride in Poland on Sunday and Thursday if his Polish club wants him. Which booking he got first is irrelevant. Blame those in charge of British speedway for agreeing to this, not Wright. -
Redcar v Glasgow 10th September
Bojangles replied to Biffa's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Surely this is quite simple..... Poland have priority on Sundays. Only way Charles Wright could have raced for Redcar against Glasgow on Sunday was to turn down the chance to sign for Wroclaw. Considering Redcar usually race on a Friday, why would he turn it down? -
Yeah, fair point, although Oxford were severely weakened in the home fixture with the loss of Schlein after just one race - so not sure you can read too much into the aggregate score. But then there's the Tarasenko factor in Glasgow's favour. And totally agree about Poole. Nothing against them, but it's about time we had a final without them.
-
Is there any danger Leicester don't fulfill their fixtures and miss out on the playoffs as a result? Still no news on rearranged Oxford and Mildenhall meetings.
-
No, Oxford are seven points clear of Glasgow, and Glasgow only have two matches left. Oxford on 33, max Glasgow can get is 32. I'm half hoping Oxford/Poole do select each other, as I'd love to see an Oxford vs Glasgow final!
