tocha Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 Apparently no interest in the third attempt to run this meeting. Musielac has declared himself fit whilst new kid on the block, Ashton Boughen has been thrown in at the deep end to replace injured Dan Gilkes. Wolves are at full strength. Weather looks good.

4BenMoran Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 Wonder if Adam Ellis is turning up for this one or having his week off? Will be a close one as always v Wolves. Pickering, Howarth & Kerr need to come to the party (and Ellis if he rocks up) as no Gilkes weakens the team no matter how good Boughen will be it’ll be tough tonight at a track he’s never ridden in a higher league. Close home win 48-42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerblade Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 This isn't the 3rd attempt to run this meeting, it's always been scheduled for this date. It's the meeting that was rained off on May 11th and July 24th that will have its 3rd attempt on September 7th. So I'm actually not sure if tonight's is Round 1 or Round 2!!! As for Adam Ellis, there was a similar statement on his page after the Leicester meeting at home in June, when Sheffield did have a week's break in fixtures. So I wonder if his social media team have copied and pasted without really looking/thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krompa Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 You can't just ask for a week off, can you? No facility for sure if he is not there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashton is still being outscored in the NDL by Ryan Kinsley, Jack Smith, Joe Thompson and (before he retired) Kyle Bickley. He is an enormous talent but don't forget Dan Bewley only scored 10 points in his first nine Championship level fixtures. Don't expect too much of him too soon. It will be a valuable learning experience for him, but any points he scores will be a bonus. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a valuable learning experience for him, but any points he scores will be a bonus. Throwing him straight into a Premiership meet before he makes his Championship debut feels very risky. It is of course a valuable experience but he seems a very determined young lad who I can't see settling for three 0's. Can't imagine Oxford will be happy if the worst happens from him overriding, trying to impress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R2 is re-scheduled for Thursday 7th September. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
