Being from Paisley, you're probably more acclimatised to danger than us soft people from Oxford.

Or common sense!

What does it say, exactly?

Most people in any walk of life will try and get as much cash regardless.

I know, but that’s not what you said. ‘Waiving’ means to refrain from using! The ‘i’ completely changed the context of what you were trying to say. English is important.

‘Waives a big white flag’ means exactly the opposite of what you were trying to say! 😛

Sorry, by main body of the team I meant not a rising star. Poor choice of words.

Let’s see if his ‘not planning a return’ philosophy holds up if he gets a call and is offered a full season in the UK. I can understand him not wanting to do it if he gets a call mid-season, but it would be hard to say no if he’s in from the start.

Let’s get Dillion Ruml back. He was superb in 2022.

Completely incorrect. 1) Ipswich wasn't Jordan's first choice. 2) In the end Jordan didn't have an option NOT to be a rising star. If he was picked - as he was - he had to be in the scheme.

Nicholls will surely be back. Peter Schroeck has already said Scott has a job for life at Oxford as long as he wants it, and I haven't heard any murmurings of a retirement on the horizon. Yes he crashed last night (and hope he's okay), but he's otherwise still thoroughly enjoying it as far as I know.

Having spoken to Jordan, he didn't think he would be on the rising star scheme again. Therefore his first choice was Oxford, and to be in the main body of the team. But as soon as he knew he would be on the rising star list again - and knowing Oxford wanted to protect Killeen - his focus was definitely on Ipswich. So just goes to show that Birmingham didn't really have a chance of getting him - or Flint - for that matter.

Agreed. Poole provide the blueprint of how to run a successful Championship team. Not just the on track performances, but off track as well. It's an exceptionally well run club and they deserve the success. The club just suffers from the fact their fans aren't particularly likeable (or at least some forum members aren't - some, not all - you know who you are) and that tarnishes the club's reputation slightly. But that's not Poole's fault.

Yep, he's managed to beat three riders who have fallen off, Ashton Boughen and Connor Coles twice. I jest! To be fair, he has looked better tonight. Maybe he's finally listened to some advice.

I take it back. I think you might be right.

Has @LagutaRacingFan got any update on the Oxford team? I’m hearing the Spires have been in contact.

What anti-Poole posts?

Just letting him get on with learning is a ticking time bomb. He needs to change is attitude and riding style before he seriously injures somebody, if not himself. It’s amazing how many Poole fans that are completely blinkered when it comes to this. It’s not a personal insult on them. Let’s hope the people around Vinnie are actually offering good advice, as opposed to just letting him carry on like he is.

In quite a few he DIDN’T crash, what an achievement! And yeah that’s why the likes of Sam Hagon, Dan Thompson, Ashton Boughen and Leon Flint, etc. go around knocking everybody off. Shocking excuse.

Says the guy who posts about flat whites and cacti. The sad thing is, you’re both nuts and neither can see it. A never-ending chain of drivel is the outcome.

Not dangerous? Are you having a laugh? I’ve seen him race live in four meetings and he crashed multiple times in all four, including two wrecked air fences and he wiped out two riders that were unable to continue afterwards. If that’s not dangerous, I’d dread to think what is!

It's going to be Dan Bewley at Oxford isn't it?

I think that result is probably even more of a foregone conclusion than the KO Cup final. Give it a miss, for your own sanity.

You’d have imagined him being listed in Oxford’s line-up would have been the answer….then again, we’re talking about Peter Shroeck.

They clearly are if he felt the need to react like he did after taking out Luke Killeen. An ambulance was literally on the way to the track.
