  1. Not for the first time the village idiot has jumped in two footed without reading things properly and totally misunderstood what was being asked šŸ™„ NOBODY has said we should be bringing any of these songs back.
  2. And Kingā€™s last two seasonā€™s there, 9, 10, 12 (missed a meeting through injury). Brennanā€™s results there last year, 7, 13, 13! While Doyle and Emil obviously fill their boots there as well. Going to take a superhuman effort from Kingā€™s Lynn to end our winning run against them thatā€™s for sure but they DO have a better side this time around so there should be some decent meetings coming up. Looking forward to them.
  3. Do we even know if Speedway will be on TNT before anyone signs up? Iā€™m not sure legally how it works. Even though the contract was for another year with Eurosport, do TNT have to fulfil those contractual obligations, or are they now null and void after Eurosport were brought out? Iā€™m not convinced TNT will be overly interested in screening to be honest..
  4. All things being equal Iā€™d fully expect us to win it because our team is better than everyone elseā€™s but after what happened last year Iā€™ll make no predictions!
  5. Good that Doyley is getting a meeting under his belt in the Ben fund but I wonder if heā€™ll get an invite from Belle Vue for the Peter Craven? We go there a week later in the Cup for our first meeting so that would be very handy.
  6. Harris 100% wanted to remain at Oxford this year and to say he was disappointed he isnā€™t is an understatement.
  7. Thatā€™s a fair point actually. Heā€™s had far too many spills and injuries already for a rider his age. Was constantly hitting the deck in Australia. Never looks safe on the bike to me.
  8. Weā€™re talking 2025 season here, not beyond. Arch is correct, King is still currently a better rider than Rew. At least here. Letā€™s see what King, Ellis and Rew average over the course of the season to see if the right decision was made. Time will tell on this one.
  9. It was Bert and Ernie from Manchester that I was referring to. Generally a decent bunch on here the Belle Vue fans, let down by those two clowns. They must be embarrassed also by their delusional ramblings.
  10. Are people seriously suggesting that because Ipswich were the best team this season (when fully fit) they shouldnā€™t bother building up to the points limit? LOL. Of course fans of other clubs would say that. So Brennan is available to replace a reserve and you say ā€œnah we donā€™t need toā€ and build nearly a point under the limit? šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
  11. šŸ¤® Christ you really are pathetic. Cringeworthy.
  12. Not sure I agree with that. Foxhall was his biggest strength. He was generally poor everywhere away but at Foxhall he could often be a match winner. Took some huge scalps beating the leagues best riders on occasions. In 22 averaged comfortably more at home than Barker, Starke and Anders Rowe, and in 23ā€™ averaged more at home than Rew, Dan Thompson and Riss.
  13. I agree, and Hilly is correct, riders will inevitably end up where they want to go. Jenkins has all but admitted that Birmingham ā€œpickedā€ him but he refused to go there. Kings Lynn also wanted him but he refused their advances also, the Lynn fans will tell you that. Rob Lyon was openly telling them that Jenkins would be targeted for their rising star berth. An Oxford fan talking to Jenkins, at Oxford, is obviously going to be told what they want to hear. Heā€™s not going to tell an Oxford supporter that he didnā€™t want to be there is he. The lad wanted a return to Ipswich (and has stated his reasons for it) and dug his heels in to get his move. Jenkins is arguably the strongest rising star on the Premiership list, there is absolutely no way on earth that THREE clubs (Birmingham, Kingā€™s Lynn, Oxford) all ignored him and left the fourth choice club (Ipswich) to seemingly win the lottery. Nobody believes that surely. The draft picks are a nonsense, no rider should be forced to ride anywhere and Iā€™m personally glad that some have called that out and got the rides they wanted. But I agree with you 100%, why theyā€™re still pretending that this stupid draft order picking is a thing and playing the supporters for fools Iā€™ve no idea. ā€œBig changesā€ for 2026 apparently (yes I know weā€™ve heard that before) so I expect this to be dropped this time next year.
  14. Ipswich had no right of retention on Jenkins because he wasnā€™t Ipswichā€™ rising star last year. Jenkins was back on the rising star list for 2025 and was available to Oxford before Ipswich due to the positions they finished in the table. So we have to believe that Oxford, having two Cheetahs riders available to them, chose a championship reserve on a championship average of 3.95, over their 3rd heatleader and clearly superior rider, on a 6.37 average? Thatā€™s not even slightly realistic come on. The fact is if Jenkins wanted to be at Spires next year then heā€™d be there as their rising star itā€™s as simple as that.
