Good to see you're being the bigger man!

So he deserves to be insulted? Maybe just either ignore him or debate with respect.

He's also probably calling people bullies because he's been called 'a clueless idiot' and '5-year-old' in the space of a few posts. It's a forum, he's allowed to have a different opinion without having to be insulted.

Oxford sent out a tweet today saying the merchandise will be available to purchase at the stadium. Looks like it might not be available online before the season starts (if online at all).

This all stemmed from arnieg asking how Masters could not be considered a number 1? Why do you keep going on about genuine number 1s? Facts are Masters had the second highest average last year (exc bonus), and the fifth highest away average. In a league with seven teams, it seems pretty crazy anybody could say that he’s not. As for if he’s a genuine number 1, I’ll let you debate that with yourself as you’re the only one who keeps mentioning it.

At last! Now you’ve got it

In your head perhaps.

Do you understand what a number 1 is? Means you need to be one of the best (seven last year, now eight) riders in the league. If the league is weak, you don’t need to be in the GPs to be a number 1. It’s a simple maths equation!

Good grief, this response is based on more hearsay than Myleene Klass!

Do you actually read the thread before you respond? Second message you've totally missed the point. Nobody said he was GP level, it was mentioned he wasn't in the GP qualifiers. Big, big difference in quality between that and the GP itself. I'm saying he's good enough to be in the qualifiers, not the GP (which he isn't). Sigh.

Nobody said he was the best did they? They said he was a number 1, or am I missing something?

He's literally only 0.33 down on the second best away average in the league! Agreed that incomings will push him down the pecking order, but a bit rich to say he isn't a number 1 as things stand. Your own stats literally prove that he is!

Such as... Masters has been pretty unlucky when it comes to GP qualification. Won the Oz Championship in 2018 and was in the qualifiers the year before (the last time he made an appearance). Then finished top 4 in 2019, but wasn't in them for some reason (injury?). Had a poor 2020 and therefore missed out again in 2021. Pretty sure he would make the top four in most people's list of non-GP Australians.

Of being able "to offer more than most". Literally says it in his post.

Who cares if it is underhand? It's a business, and that ruthless approach is one of the reasons that has made Poole so successful over the years (as much as I hate to admit it). It's as much Plymouth's fault as it is Poole's if they can't keep hold of a rider. If it was illegal I'm sure Plymouth would have been straight down to their lawyers.

Don't let Steve Shovlar hear you say that!

I'm not 100% sure Arthur54 and Trackrat aren't the same person. Would explain a lot.

He basically disrespected you twice and you ended up saying “thanks” to him! You write what you want to write about, it’s not his own personal forum or thread.

You’d hope Killeen - a rider starting on a 3.00 average that also has a spot in a Championship team - to add more in my opinion. Otherwise Oxford have got it very wrong for the Cheetahs.

What sort of news Steve?

Pretty strong team that, especially if Killeen shows his true potential - basically four heat leaders!

Exactly. So Jenkins went to No.7 in the team.....while also riding for Redcar and Oxford. Three teams, and the same time, while not a No.8 for Peterborough. Sigh. I was trying to prove a point, but it has appeared to go over your head.

So Peterborough had two No.8s with Jake Mulford?

Pretty sure Jenkins was Peterborough's No.7 last year after Palin's injury, with Jake Mulford the No.8.
