Crowds still very good and fairly decent for most Chargers matches as well. Not a fan of moving up at this stage, much bigger outlay in wages, won't really get bigger crowds and sponsorship levels already decent. Tv money? Whilst welcome, surely it won't cover the extra expenditure. Monday or Thursday racing? Impossible to tell if that would have any effect either way, one off matches are ok but not a true reflection if using that day every week. All in all, not for me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 Do Oxford have the best base to build on this season for a 38 point limit? Just been messing about with teams as you do this time of year and with a potential bottom four of Jenkins, Atkin, boughen and Killeen would leave enough to have the strongest top 3 in the league imo. Could be masters Nichols and a 6.00 or Pickering, Nichols and flint for example. You have Jenkins improving all the time and probably the best 2 pointers in the league. Before a riders been signed calling Oxford the team to beat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac101 Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) oxford will probably just take out kerr and put killeen in team sorted Edited October 24, 2023 by mac101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4BenMoran Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 Defo not moving up, Masters and Nicholls at 1 & 5, Jenkins at 4 and Boughen at 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds85 Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 1. Sam Masters 9.47 2. Henry Atkins 4.32 3. 4. Jordan Jenkins 5.83 5. Scott Nicholls 8.34 6. Luke Killeen 2.00 7. Ashton Boughen 2.00 Is a good looking team but that last spot with 6.04 remaining is a bit tricky if you look at the averages... Options are limited: Jye Etheridge, Kyle Newman, Anders Rowe, Cameron Heeps... Not very good 3rd heatleaders... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they can unearth a gem on a 5, those two make them very top heavy but can't see them both going unless Nicholls hangs up his steel shoe!

Triple.H. Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 I'd be happy with those 6 and a return for Dillon Ruml. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojangles Posted October 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 Peter Schroeck basically confirmed Nicholls and Masters will be back next season in this week’s Speedway Star. ”We have an arrangement with Scott that he will be with us until he decides to retire and Sam is an out-and-out No.1. It is no reflection on what Lewi has done for us as he has done more than enough to warrant a place, but unfortunately someone had to come out of the equation to make the numbers work” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilly Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 6.04, an awkward gap to fill. The Rew or Bellego suggestion definitely of interest to me, more a question of do they want to ride Championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching him trying to get round Oxford would be good for a laugh if nothing else. If you pay him per point he'll be pretty cheap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 It'll be the same team that finished the season last year for Oxford apart from Killeen for Kerr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would come in at 36.96, they're not going to pick a team over a point below the limit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
