Who have Oxford dropped?

And Gary Havelock.

Thought they'd banned you? Did you tell them how much you love Peter Schroeck and they let you back in?

Oxford are surely Poole's only rivals for the title - not that I expect most Poole fans will (rightly) be unduly worried about us.

A lot of Berwick fans moaning about their team’s performance after saying they would get hammered anyway. You did better than you thought. In fact, you did better at Sandy Lane than every other team (bar Poole, obviously) that’s visited in the league. And with a far from fully-fit Lewis Kerr. Give yourselves a break, the Bandits showed far more fighting spirit than most of the other teams I’ve seen.

Exactly. There’s a world of difference between Heeps and Killeen.

I just went over the Oxford Speedway Facebook page and 99% of the comments are positive about the team changes. It's more censored than the Russian media!

They will have to get maximums for Berwick to have any chance. Big Cheetahs win. 56-34.

Sorry. I couldn't resist!

Big clash between the Championship title winners and the team that were well beaten. Corrected it for you.

Is there any point Oxford having a team manager? Where's the tac sub Peter? Heat 9 was surely the time to use it. Edit: Guess heat 12 was better than nothing. Still shocked he didn't wait until heat 14.

That's probably down to the amount of BullSh!+ on this forum!

You've changed your tune.

Amazing how many people confuse a bad track with a badly-prepared track. There’s a world of difference, and this was very much the latter.

Yeah, the track is different. It’s wider….so technically there’s a shorter way around now. Not that anybody has got close to Nielsen’s old record still.

If you got rid of those two, would the club even exist at all? Speedway club owners sadly don't grow on trees.

Title favourites? How do you work that out? The maximum amount of points Belle Vue can get is 16.... Leicester already have 13 with four matches left. If the Lion Cubs can't pick up three points from those matches, it'll be a miracle.

The simple fact most of you are debating how much rain there was and if the meeting could have gone ahead suggests it should have at least been given a chance to take place - especially considering King's Lynn's fixture backlog.

I never once mentioned anything about today's call offs. Was just pointing out why @iainb might be disgruntled. If you can't see why he might be, then there's not much else to say.

Well..... before we start looking at the other available fixtures. How about May 9th when the original restaging was supposed to take place?

And every other available race day for the last three and half months?

Or maybe he just wants to see a meeting that was supposed to originally take place on 28th March.

William Cairns was very impressive. Only slight caveat is that he didn't have much opposition to beat - Jody Scott never completed a race and Jason Garrad was clearly still feeling his way back after injury. For some context, he was well beaten by Luke Killeen the two times they met, so don't want to get too carried away. But hey, Killeen is arguably one of the best riders in this league and averages over 4.50 in the league above. This was also Cairns' first competitive 500cc meeting, so is only going to get better and better. Going to be a great signing for someone at this level, and I'm sure will do a good job when he steps up to the Championship next year. They'll be plenty of teams fighting over him - reminds me of the Boughen situation a year ago.

Best analogy I've seen on this forum in some time. Bravo!

Ever heard the story 'Peter and the Wolf'? When meetings are called off no real reason, why should most speedway fans now believe anything King's Lynn say?
