Bojangles Posted March 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 Apparently Sam Masters is now the captain of the Oxford Cheetahs. The website was updated with the 2023 team today and he's listed as the skipper. What happened to Scott Nicholls? Anybody know when/why he was demoted? Oxford were certainly mentioning Nicholls as the captain in tweets at the start of the year (after the team had been confirmed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toady Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 On 12/7/2022 at 12:29 PM, Bojangles said: I think the big question about the price increase is whether a booking fee is still included. There's currently no mention of it on the Oxford website (there was before). If the new £20 ticket price does include the booking fee, it's only a £1 increase over last season (£18+£1) - that's not too bad considering the current circumstances. Wow you’ve changed your mind mr. Should change your Monika to flip flop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally buy mine as soon as they go on sale, but I'm sure there are plenty of people that did buy on the day last season. But you said you didn’t on the other topic which is it flip flop ?

Bojangles Posted May 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 Looking like Luke Killeen will be out for a while after his crash at Belle Vue last night, which is a bit of a blow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killeen needs to calm down you can only get away with reckless riding for so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to look at Wednesday, when Luke rode in wet conditions at Oxford (I know you're not used to those at Glasgow, where you call off the meeting if there's one little white cloud in the sky somewhere in the forecast - well you do, when the Danes are missing in any case), wasn't excluded once, and the only time he came down was when another rider brought him down on the first bend. The lad is learning all the time - yeah, he made a mistake last night. Mind you, so did Sam Hagon, but was got away with somehow bouncing off the fence, during a breath-taking battle with Henry Atkins.

Bagpuss Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) As for Kileen, he has a lot of talent but needs to learn that you don't score points if you don't finish races or miss meetings through injuries. Best wishes to him for a speedy recovery and coming back a bit calmer. Edited May 13, 2023 by Bagpuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilly Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 Not many options for replacements, does Kinsley have an average from last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 Doesn’t come as a surprise never really looks in full control when on the bike. Said when he was Edinburgh the other week. Either going to hurt someone or himself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of his average, but guess Kinsley is the obviously replacement now. Here's a curveball, though, what about Sam Hagon? He's started the season on fire in the NDL, showed he wouldn't be totally outclassed at this level in that Swindon challenge match at Poole and has experience of the Oxford track having raced a full season with the Chargers last year.

Yes, he was good at Poole. If Poole needed a 2 pointer I would definitely want him in the team! And you have us in the KOC. However a fellow Oxford fan wants it to be Ashton Boughen.
