Shaleshifter Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 After the Pirates demolition of a very under strength and injury hit Birmingham; all roads head to Sandy Lane on Tuesday where the first of two nights of speedway action begin. Poole are favourites to progress through to the final of the Renamed Jubilee Cup. The Cheetahs will be tough opposition especially at home so expect a tough encounter. Thoughts?

LisaColette Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 Keep it within 6? I know we won there previously this season but was their first home meeting I think. Assuming Jack Thomas is back next week. Also depends who is reserve in August for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record.......it was their 2nd home meeting after opening to Scunny in the championship. Oxford no better now than they were then in terms of inconsistencies but obviously the Pirates will be fully focused to avoid any complacency.& I'd expect 2 wins for the skull & crossbones. Pirates are on the march All the best at Cowley & see you down WINborne Road Also I will be in Manchester on Monday, Best of British to Richard, Danny & Stevie in the British Final. C'mon the lads C'MON THE PIRATES #piratepride Edited July 30, 2022 by Turnip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baiden Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 Oxford stronger on paper than their first home meeting against Poole with Summers and Starke now in for Newman and MacDonald (or Stoneman as it was back then), but they are still very inconsistent as you said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Hoping for a win in both meetings. We are capable of it. If not run them close and whop them at Wimborne Road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy to think on Good Friday Oxford only scored one more point than the Birmingham select team did last Friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbw Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Pirates will WIN, no need to over think these things! WINborne Road & borne to WIN I'm docking in Bournemouth this time on Wednesday again on National Express so early start in the wee hours leaving home @ 0115am. Get into Bournemouth at about 1030am. Then get the train to the land of the Pirate around 5pm. Just hope they've sorted the air con on the National Express coz last time I got off the bus I was walking like Pingu! I've still got the chafe marks from last time reet up to the congicles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB1 Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Quick question to any cheetahs fans. Do you have to buy a separate ticket for the bar and restaurant areas or is it first come first served or part of the general admission as I haven't been to Cowley since the early 2000s thanks in advance?

SteveLyric2 Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Both teams at full strength as long as all those in the British Final come through unscathed. Should be close at Sandy Lane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s first come first served. Just one ticket available - general admission - and you can go where you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxford's first League opponents was the same as their last league opponents when they were last in the League, Scunthorpe, on 13th April. You were there the following week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbw Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) Arrived at a sunny Belle Vue........ hope it stays that way.......Storm Bugga due at 9pm! For those Oxford fans out there & any fans of this former World Finalist......I've just been chatting to the Long Eaton Invaders Legend that is Mr Jan 'Stekkers' Staechmann! I'd nipped inside the NSS & stood on the 4th bend observing the water truck doing it's watering business, looked behind me & there Jan was Keeping as trim as ever I'm sure he'd still be in the mix even at 56. Oh, and his Simon Wigg teeth are as white as ever! Top racer, Station Road Legend They may av taken our stadium but they'll never take our memories. Always an Invader.
