foreverblue Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Josh Macdonald and Dillon Ryml are the last. Two. Good team with strength in depth. I will definitely be going there next season for Pirates away fixtures, great track, always enjoyed my visits there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Looks a cracking team that. One to beat IMO. 2 top heat leaders, strength n depth, heeps and Newman potentially on a snip of average if can find old form and potential in ruml and Thomas. Macdonald never impressed me that much but 3rd season now has to be improvement there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveusaB Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Looks a reasonable side....not League winning IMO....the only one that I can see improving his average is possibly Jack Thomas....(wish we could've kept him) Batchelor is very hot/cold....Nicholls is great at this level, but not getting any younger and may struggle if he doesn't make starts.... Good luck to Oxford....great to see a 'new' speedway venture, instead of the usual doom and gloom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heep is on a very low average and Thomas has a lot of potential. It seems a very well balanced team, play off material in my view. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Easy play off team and looked it prior to the last two signings who should both do alright at reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Underrated team that. Batch & Nicholls are just as strong as any other top two in the league, Strong at reserve all season, Both Newman & Heeps should improve starting GSA's.

AndyPresley Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Good looking side. Ruml and Macdonald will be very strong reserves, alongside 2 very good heat leaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yearbyred Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Nice, well balanced team. I think they look one of the stronger teams in the league. Good job by the new promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Think for a new promotion it's a cracking well balanced team. If my team Eastbourne come up with a team like this in 2023 I'd be pretty happy/positive. Just hope they get the support it deserves.

bluebee Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Must admit I'm getting a wee bit excited abut the season in prospect. Supported Leicester last season but now moved to Chippy not far from Oxford so farewell Lions and here I come for the Cheetahs. I really hope the support will be there over the season. The team building looks good and should be rewarded. Just two questions from me. 1. Will there be an Oxford website soon? What is the planned racing night? Would be great if Oxford was a success and was followed by a return of my beloved Coventry Bees. And Swindon and Eastbourne of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
