The track is currently looking okay....considering the circumstances. Bend four still flooded, but the rest of the track is in good condition. It will be fine by tomorrow.
Question remains, how much rain will arrive tomorrow though?

Just seen the latest forecast which shows heavy rain tomorrow evening. Frustratingly due early evening after a dry day meaning all the Poole fans will have made the journey before it’s likely called off.
Don't risk it. We won't mind.

And we are entitled to it.
Entitled is certainly a good word when it comes to Poole.

Jakobsen and Lidsey now officially in the challenge final replacing Lambert and Bewley. Brennan should be in either after SEC or Torun.
If Holder (or Kubera) makes the top six in the SGP, who is next in line for the Challenge? Thorssell?

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.
Absolutely. Takes some guts to ride like that after suffering such horrendous injuries just a couple of years ago. Great to see such passion from him after the race as well.

always been a topic for discussion, some warranted and some fabricated....does it go on nowadays?
Every single one of Oxford's Championship team are at it.

I've watched speedway for 58 years; I've watched great riders and riders who were not so good. I've seen them come and I've seen them go.
But I've never seen a talent like I saw on Thursday night in the Cubs v Colts match at Owlerton. William Cairns is 15 - he must be still at school. But on a track he'd probably never seen before he scored 18 points and was pretty much untouchable. The lad has a prodigious talent and it is without question he will race at GP level before his contemporaries have got their boots on. I will watch his progress with great interest. Mark my words: he is a champion in the making.
If you think William Cairns is that good, imagine how amazing Maksymilian Pawelczak is going to be!

Think Oxford are very easy to predict and it's just a case of who rides at 6.
1. Woffinden
2. Riss (Peter loves him)
3. Janowski (Basically confirmed himself)
4. Harris
5. Tungate
6. ?
7. Boughen
That will surely be Killeen given the rhetoric from Schroeck when Killeen replaced Kemp this season.

That’s what I was thinking too 😂 think the only rider missing out of 14 is Jenkins?
And Atkins/Roynon.

A potential Oxford team (long shot I know). Would fit if it's 39 points.
1. Tai Woffinden
2. Charles Wright
3. Chris Harris
4. Sam Masters
5. Maciej Janowski
6. Ashton Boughen
7. Luke Killeen -

Swap Boughen for Vuolas and you could be there.
Correct. Boughen will literally be the first name on the Oxford team sheet.

Would think most of the cash ploughed into Oxford was Boothby’s.
The speedway is financed by Jamie Courtney, I wasn’t aware Boothby had anything to do with the speedway. Surprised he put any money into it.

Why is heeps out, must've missed that.
Injured his wrist in the Redcar ko cup match last week. Did it when he fell off his bike after heat 10.

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.
What have you heard?

If Emil was fit to ride he would have. He couldn’t travel it’s that simple. Toruń pulling rank isn’t an argument. They don’t have the power to. Emil is contracted to race, this isn’t a guest booking. If you think Toruń can stop him then why doesn’t the following happen… Wroclaw stop Bewley, Lublin stop Holder, even Ostrów stop C Holder? Answers anyone?
Of course Toruń have the power to stop him.... they use a thing called złoty, and a lot of it.

The rising star scheme hasn't really been a success and hasn't really been fit for purpose at all for a couple of seasons
Only Brennan has progressed out of the scheme and is still in a side
Others moving out have already been jettisoned
The fact that the Championship dropped it even though that's the natural start point is more pertinent
Jordan Jenkins?

If Ryanair were running Oxford speedway would it be in the city of London? 🤔
Funny you should say that. Oxford Airport is optimistically titled ‘London Oxford Airport’! 😄

Ouch. The loss of Heeps and Jenkins could be massive. Definitely make Redcar favourites to progress on the back of this. Jenkins loves it there, and Heeps isn't half bad either. Much depends on Boughen, if he can score double figures that might be the difference. Going to be close either way I think.

As @iainb said, I think his 100% effort in every race has been appreciated. He never once gave up in a race, always tried.

Average nearly 8 away
Only missed one match all season
Green sheet av way below recent form.
What's not to like?
Agreed. Would be welcome back I’m sure. Also a genuinely nice guy that the whole team seemed to enjoy riding with.

I think it’s fair to say that some riders respond well to riding at certain tracks, and others don’t. Same goes for coaching methods and equipment. Having the means for investment is also a huge factor. There’s no magic formula, otherwise everybody would follow it.

They often give the lesser riders it to give them a boost, bit like giving it to Tobias Thomsen last night at Poole.
Yeah, I can appreciate that. And I’m all for giving it to them on the right occasion, but seems strange to me when one rider was SO dominant last night and was head and shoulders above everybody else.

I think it an excellent choice. He completely owned the Glasgow reserves and I think it makes sense to make him feel appreciated as we may well want to use him again.
While I thought Coles was excellent, I’d love to know what more Masters could have done to get it? He was untouchable.

It was nice to see that Connor Coles was given rider of the night after his fall in heat 2 he must have felt second hand. To do 7 rides and not to score in only one race was something else.
To give Connor Coles rider of the night when Sam Masters scored a maximum is preposterous.
