Bojangles Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) Big meeting at the summit of the NDL table. Max Clegg guesting for Dan Thompson, and Ashton Boughen racing against his new employers! Oxford full strength. Both teams likely to make the playoffs, but who will finish top? Oxford won the return fixture 50-39. Lion Cubs: 1. Max Clegg (guest), 2. Ashton Boughen, 3. Max Perry, 4. Max James, 5. Joe Thompson, 6. Vinnie Ford, 7. Tom Spencer Chargers: 1. Jordan Jenkins, 2. Jacob Clouting, 3. Ryan Kinsley, 4. Jody Scott, 5. Henry Atkins, 6. Luke Killeen, 7. Jason Garrad Going to be a close one I think. Leicester to win 47-43, but Oxford get the bonus point?

old bob at herne bay Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Leicester again the cause of end of season chaos. What is wrong with their track. Seems it is unfit for racing every season for the last 2 months of the season. Is it built on a marsh ? Is their ea river nearby? Remember reading that the track machinery access is very restricted and causes damage to an already wet and boggy track . It is a continual source of fixture congestion. The BSPL have played their hand and made a frankly ludicrous decision . Joint winners would have been the logical decision based on the current format requiring p.offs to decide a winner. In other areas they have held over the Jubilee cup to next season another disgraceful insensitive decision, again stemming from the boggy Leicester track. With so few teams in the NDL and still unable to complete fixtures in a timely manner really have to question how the NDL can possibly survive as a professional league in 2024.

Debbi Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) I hope Max Perry is ok the accident he has just had was horrific. He was on the track for 1/2 hour and in an ambulance in the pits for 10-15mins being treated and is still there. All medics are with him. From the gates I don’t know if Max clipped a bike or throttle jammed he went in full pelt to the air fence which lifted on impact. Unfortunately he couldn’t clear the bike and it looked like it came down onto him. Credit to Dan Thompson who stayed with him the whole time even helping carry the stretcher. Update: 21:25 ambulance has now left the stadium. Edited October 31, 2023 by Debbi 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
