Oxford Vs Workington June 26 2024
Bojangles replied to Anzum's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
That's a bit harsh. I'm not exactly a Roynan fan, or think he was a good replacement, but he's only trying to ride a speedway bike to make a living. And I'm sure he'll do a better job than me or any other poster on this forum. -
Oxford vs Poole 19th June Championship
Bojangles replied to lbw's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Not sure how it seems fairly straightforward when you haven't read the Ts&Cs? They clearly state all of what you said is already excluded, as well as stating the 28 home fixtures. I won't post the whole thing here, but here's the important extract... Ultimate Pass valid for Chargers, Cheetahs and Spires scheduled 28 home fixtures. All passes exclude KO Cup, Play Off progression and individual and shared events. And if it's equally obvious that the Ipswich match was a failed fixture, why weren't people who paid on the gate given all of their money back for said failed fixture? To be honest, I think and hope you're right, but I certainly wouldn't say it's as crystal clear as you're making out. Some communication from the club would at least be nice. Still haven't had a response from Oxford yet. -
Yeah, he's not exactly set the world alight at Sandy Lane before. His visits for Poole last year were... League: 1pt (beat Ryan Kinsley) Cup: 1pt (beat Ryan Kinsley) BSN Series: 1pt (only scored because Killeen retired)

Adam Roynon in as a 28-day replacement for Henry Atkins.

Oxford vs Poole 19th June Championship
Bojangles replied to lbw's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Yes, that's what I thought when I bought one...but it was the '28 scheduled fixtures' that got me thinking. The fact they put the actual number, as opposed to just league fixtures etc, is giving me doubts. And I really can't see why people who paid on the gate get shafted, while season ticket holders get away with it. I'll try and contact them and find out, although they're not the best at getting back to you. Ha, you beat me to it. That's very true. But let's see.... -
Oxford vs Poole 19th June Championship
Bojangles replied to lbw's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
You'd think so. But how does that differ from somebody who bought a one-off ticket, though? -
Oxford vs Poole 19th June Championship
Bojangles replied to lbw's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Not sure that works with Oxford. Oxford's season ticket Ts&Cs states that it's only 'valid for all 28 scheduled home fixtures'. The wording makes it sound like the Ipswich re-staging won't be included. -
King's Lynn v Oxford 17/06/24
Bojangles replied to Bald Bloke's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Got that wrong. Well done Magic. -
Sam Hagon rode a whole season for the Chargers, he's very good around Sandy Lane. Joe Thompson has always been a bit and miss, I think Hagon would score more than him without even factoring in Zach Cook. No brainer for me.... although I want you to lose, so I'll shut up!

King's Lynn v Oxford 17/06/24
Bojangles replied to Bald Bloke's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I like Janowski, but there's a lot of chat about him 'improving'. He had one good meeting at home to Leicester, and that's it as far as I can see. Needs a few more good ones (and needs to make a few starts) before we should start claiming he's improving, surely? -
It noticed it was on Wikipedia last night as well... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_SGP2

It was never flash flood-type rain, but more than enough for a good soaking.
-
I was there, and the weather was pretty bad to be fair. It was actually quite bright before the meeting and the track looked dry (hence why it was watered - would have been a dust bowl in heat one otherwise). The fact Erik Riss was racing it and made a pass in heat two shows it was pretty good. BUT then it started to rain and got heavier and heavier. It was pretty torrential from heat four onwards. It stopped for a bit just before it was called off, but then returned again. I know the Ipswich fans are a bit upset, but there's no way the meeting would have got to heat 10. And put it this way, I was stood on the third bend and got completely soaked and the covers on the greyhound track were flooded - that shows much rain there was. I doubt the full extent of it was picked up on BSN,
-
Honestly can't see this going ahead with the rain that's forecast. Looking like it's going to start tipping it down at 3pm and not stop until gone 10pm.

Full line-ups... Oxford Spires: 1. Rohan Tungate, 2. Charles Wright, 3. Lewis Kerr, 4. Maciej Janowski, 5. Chris Harris, 6. Erik Riss, 7. Ashton Boughen. Ipswich Witches: 1. R/R, 2. Dan Thompson, 3. Adam Ellis, 4. Norick Blodorn (G), 5. Emil Sayfutdinov, 6. Keynan Rew, 7. Jordan Jenkins.

Another great meeting last night - racing wise, if not score wise. Scunthorpe didn't put up much of a fight, and expected more from the likes of Connor Mountain after his performance for Belle Vue when they visited. Simon Lambert was woeful. For Oxford Cameron Heeps looks rejuvenated this year, just need him to pick up his away form - and Ashton Boughen seems to have found his feet the last few weeks. His pass in heat 14 was sensational.

OXFORD V LEICESTER 3RD JUNE 24.
Bojangles replied to gjcone44's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I have to say the Oxford track has been superb ever since the club returned. Cracking racing almost every week - helped somewhat by Oxford having quite a few entertaining riders in Nicholls, Wright, Tungate, Harris, etc., they all throw the bike around. They might not always win races, but they certainly give everything. Oxford also widened the track and made significant changes from when it last used in 2007. Not that it was ever boring before, but it's superb now. -

To be fair, you missed a superb meeting! -
Edinburgh vs Glasgow 5/4/24
Bojangles replied to JanAndersen's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Why would Glasgow go through if it's a draw and then they win the super heat? Surely both teams would then be on 6 points, but Edinburgh has a superior points difference. Or is there a different tie-breaking procedure? Cancel that, realised Glasgow would have seven points. Doh! -
Oxford vs Edinburgh - Wed 29th May
Bojangles replied to Bojangles's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Scott Nicholls' ride in heat 15 was a thing of beauty. Don't know how he keeps doing it. What a legend. -
Thoughts on this one? Oxford missing Henry Atkins again (which might be a blessing in disguise, especially at 3), with Jody Scott at number 8. Craig Cook guesting for Josh Pickering. Oxford Cheetahs: 1. Sam Masters, 2. Cameron Heeps, 3. Rider replacement, 4. Jordan Jenkins, 5. Scott Nicholls, 6. Ashton Boughen, 7. Luke Killeen, 8. Jody Scott. Edinburgh Monarchs: 1. Craig Cook (guest), 2. Lasse Fredriksen, 3. Kye Thomson, 4. Paco Castagna, 5. Justin Sedgmen, 6. Max James, 7. Connor Coles.

Lewis Kerr officially back in the Oxford side for Leicester on Monday. Craig Cook's injury cover is over.

Oxford vs Belle Vue - Thurs 23rd May
Bojangles replied to Bojangles's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Yeah, I was surprised as well. Gate 4 had become dead towards the end of the meeting, and it felt like Lemon just put all his eggs in a Bewley basket off a good gate 2.
