Bojangles

Another cracking meeting tonight. Fair play to Scunthorpe for keeping it so close, but Nicholls and Masters proving to be the difference once again in heats 13 and 15. Special mention to Dan Gilkes in heat 14 - that was one hell of a ride.

Oxford confirmed tonight that the Spires will be racing in the Premiership again next season (and will once again be running in all three leagues).

This is a tough one for Oxford. Feels like almost all the team I'm uncertain about Retain: Janowski Boughen Unsure: Harris Wright Tungate Killeen Replace: Riss

Poole fans are very happy every month.... for clarification, just read any thread on the forum.

It will be a disgrace If they stick Artem Laguta - a man who never lost his title - in the qualifiers.

Not Leicester's fault, but got to feel sorry for Ipswich. Worst referee performance I've seen in a long time.

Bravo Tom Brennan. Class.

You clairvoyant!

Becker excluded, what an absolute disgrace. Sorry, couldn't resist! 😁

Can't wait to see this decision!

Plus I'd much rather it was called off beforehand. If they raced one heat and then decided to abandon it, we'd have all got a £9 refund as opposed to a ticket for the re-staging/full refund. Right call in my opinion.

If Oxford get to the final, it will mean the Playoffs and KO Cup finals will have to take place across the next four Wednesdays after that.... Wed 25th Wed 2nd Wed 9th Wed 16th Either Poole or Oxford should ideally stage some meetings on a different day to speed up the process, let's see which team is more flexible and revisit your post.

Kevin Boothby ploughed some cash into the speedway and is keen to have as many meeting as possible.

Oxford looking a bit weaker without Cameron Heeps and Jordan Jenkins in my opinion, need Ashton Boughen to continue his good form and Luke Killeen to rediscover some of his. Likely to be much closer than the league meeting. Oxford Cheetahs: 1. Sam Masters, 2. Joe Thompson (G), 3. R/R, 4. Ashton Boughen, 5. Scott Nicholls (C), 6. Luke Killeen, 7. Connor Coles (G), 8. Jody Scott Scunthorpe Scorpions: 1. Michael Palm Toft, 2. Connor Mountain, 3. Simon Lambert (C), 4. Jake Allen, 5. Kyle Howarth, 6. Nathan Ablitt, 7. Luke Harrison.

If anything, it will surely be the Championship that goes. There's been a big attendance difference between Spires and Cheetahs meetings - the former having some huge crowds and the latter a little bit underwhelming. That said, I'm pretty sure all three teams will be back based on what I've heard.

Sorry, repeat post

Excluding his exclusion for going to the pits, Ashton Boughen has scored a paid 40 (38+2) from a possible 42 in his last three meetings (two of which were away from home). What a fantastic end to the season. Watch out Poole!

No Cameron Heeps or Jordan Jenkins for Oxford... Redcar: 1. Charles Wright, 2. Dan Gilkes, 3. Jye Etheridge (G), 4. Jason Edwards, 5. Danny King, 6. Danny Phillips (G), 7. Jake Mulford Oxford: 1. Sam Masters, 2. R/R, 3. Jacob Hook (G), 4. Ashton Boughen, 5. Scott Nicholls, 6. Luke Killeen, 7. Jody Scott, 8. Ashton Vale

They said in the press conference post meeting that his season was over. Was having x-rays on his scaphoid today I think.

Jordan Jenkins is out for the rest of the season - was confirmed at the press conference post Oxford vs Redcar last night.

Thoughts on this? A few Redcar riders that go well at Oxford (Wright, King, Gilkes, Edwards, etc.), so might be a close one, although the Cheetahs have been pretty formidable at home. Jody Scott in for Adam Roynon and Jye Etheridge guesting for the Bears. Oxford Cheetahs: 1. Sam Masters, 2. Cameron Heeps, 3. Ashton Boughen, 4. Jordan Jenkins, 5. Scott Nicholls (C), 6. Luke Killeen, 7. Jody Scott (G). Redcar Bears: 1. Charles Wright (C), 2. Dan Gilkes, 3. Jye Etheridge (G), 4. Jason Edwards, 5. Danny King, 6. Ben Trigger, 7. Jake Mulford.

Haha, good point. There's probably more of them turn up, but they're certainly not as noisy or passionate as Plymouth fans.

It's always great to see the Plymouth supporters at Sandy Lane, waving the huge flags. Got to say I don't think there's such passionate supporters from any other visiting team, always creates a great atmosphere.

Yep, imagine if Oxford had got someone like Erik Riss in for Atkins (I think it would have just about fitted when Boughen and Killeen were on 2.00 averages, although I haven't checked). With the form Heeps has shown, they'd have been real title contenders. That side is better than Poole's in my opinion - alas it wasn't to be. 1. Masters 2. Jenkins 3. Heeps 4. Riss 5. Nicholls 6. Killeen 7. Boughen That said, I guess it's also nice they've shown loyalty... but a trophy would also have been good.

Oxford have arguably been robbed of three away wins by poor decisions (Workington, Killeen excluded - Redcar, Nicholls excluded - Berwick, Killeen excluded). Thankfully they should still make the playoffs, but hopefully the luck will start to even itself out!
