Ovalman Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 Should be easy Oxford win, but Brummies won there earlier in season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_martin Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 Out of 14 riders, 4 are guests and one is called Reidar Replacement, or something. Reidar Replacement and all 4 guests outscored the top-scoring Brummies contracted rider. And I'll qualify that by saying that it took Sedgmen 5 rides to get his 4+1 as opposed to Castagna who achieved it in 4 rides. That, folks, is a major reason why the Brummies are struggling to draw in the fans, I'd say. Who are the fans supposed to "latch onto" and support? Their "own" rider who struggles to pick up points or someone else's riders who are coming to the team's rescue? Not a good situation to be in. Not that you can do much about the guest for Shanes, but the "Sign Vissing and get a guest for the season" situation is one of the team managers own creation. And very lamentable it is too. Try explaining that one to a newcomer to the sport. And as for the guest for Auty, I can only guess that the guest rider is the easy option compared to signing a new rider and re-declaring the team. How long has it been now? It's almost like the Brummies are too comfortable fielding guest riders that they become an integral part of team planning. Well, I'm sorry, but I don't think that's what the fans want. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple.H. Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 One of those meetings where the scoreline doesn't tell the whole story. Some decent racing , Dillon Ruml in heat 6 was worth the admission on its own. Fairplay also to Jamie Courtney and his team, hottest day on record and no clouds of dust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticeably lower, whether it was the heat, the possibility of thunderstorms washing out the meeting, the perceived standard of the opposition, a lack of interest in the Jubilee Trophy or two meetings in two days I don't know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would say that the heat was a factor however Oxford united were also playing last night and many supporters also attend the football i know a lot of people undecided over which they would attend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenMiller Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 What happened to Sedgmen ? 14 points match winner on his debut for us at Oxford earlier in the season, but only 4 last night ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 Sedgemen riding at the much more difficult 5 as opposed to 3 last time. He looked fast in his first ride behind Batchelor, passed by Ruml in his next, got a 5-1 with Brennan in his next then last in tough 13 and 15. He looks a different/more determined rider now to a few years ago, was just a tough night last night as Batchelor and Nicholls were both good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalman Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 And Oxford didn't have Batch and Summers riding last time. Good to see Brennan the Swindonian riding well. Not a good idea to ride same night as Oxford United were playing nearby? Some fans are not interested in trophy matches, I hope they can sustain good crowd levels.
