lucifer sam Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 Such sad news. Bob was a lovely chap and a huge speedway fan and at Oxford neatly every week in 2007 when Brendan Johnson was riding for us. Saw him at Poole just a couple of weeks ago for the Poole v Scunny meeting. RIP Bob. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) I was chatting to him on Friday night and he seemed fine and his usual self. I have known him for 30 years. This is a terrible shock. A very knowledgable and passionate speedway fan. Will be hugely missed. R.I.P. Bob.

lbw Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) By my reckoning Pirates are now practically assured of a top 2 spot even with Glasgow winning at Berwick and getting 4pts. Tigers can only equal our 46pts but the For/Against race pts difference would av to take a massive swing for Tigers to pass us even if we were to lose to Redcar at home.......but od course we'll beat Redcar anyway so no more squeaky bums! I don't know if anyone else as noticed/mentioned this. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Edited September 12, 2021 by PirateShip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If points difference is still used when deciding who is above who when level on points? It could be on points scored? However if it is points difference then Glasgow currently on +88 and Poole are +192. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and Redcar's last home meeting too! Leicester on form at the moment, I'd say they are more likely to win at Redcar. I think Glasgow would beat them at home but will be very close!

Hi Lisa, speedway is unpredictable and anything can happen, like Friday night at Scunthorpe. It's what happen's on the night when fortunes can change depending on riders bike set up and track conditions. We will be ok and who knows maybe given there is time between now and the playoffs Stefan may be able to race as he is till hopeful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep my fingers crossed. But you make a very good point, I wouldn't have predicted a loss of 24 points at Scunny before the meeting started! I'm sure we will be better on a wet track when the playoffs are on the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Lisa, I am led to believe that Poole wanted the meeting called off at Scunthorpe on Friday. I don't know if was true or not. There was a heavy downpour of rain around 6pm and that lasted about 30 minutes. This left the track very heavy and I don't think Poole wanted to race on it.
