I went with the sole purpose of watching some speedway. But I never ‘converted’ to becoming a Swindon fan just because they were now my local club. They had been Oxford’s rivals for years, so I naturally didn’t want them to win. Some people find that weird. Go figure? i thought the above two points were abundantly clear from previous posts. Geeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzz.....Still playing the victim! Not wanting a team to win, is supporting the opposition IMO! FFS....move on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think this is happening. Seems like Cook will remain, Kerr goes and everything else stays the same. Toady will be pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovalman Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 How are the attendances holding up at Sandy Lane? Compared to previous couple of seasons. Still have warmer weather and school holidays to come which will boost crowds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prem: 2,000-2,500 Champ: 1,000-1,500 NDL: 750-1,250 Fluctuates depending on the fixtures/weather forecasts as well. Ipswich crowd for the Spires match was huge, but was much smaller for King's Lynn for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Ox can attract good support from the many millions that live within a reasonable distance, such as half of London, Swindon, Reading, Coventry, Milton Keynes, Luton, Watford, Northampton, etc.,speedway can be a success and survive in this country Edited May 23 by auntie doris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think @flagrag said that Janowski was going to be replaced by a GP rider for tomorrow's visit to Leicester, that obviously ain't going to happen now.

Does forcing an understrength team to compete in the PL because they can only ride Monday nights nonsense make you happy?

Hamish McRaker Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 On 5/17/2024 at 4:25 PM, Bojangles said: He might not score as well as Wright or Harris, but his average is 1/1.5 pt lower than them - which gives Oxford more breathing space to bring in someone else on a higher average - such as a certain GP rider that's been mentioned in another thread. It is - of course - swings and roundabouts, and there's no guarantee it'll happen, but Oxford have points to play with either way. Would Kerr fit in at 6 for Leicester replacing Kemp? Must only be a matter of time until Janowski is replaced by someone capable of consistent No.1 scoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 The GP rider is probably Huckenbeck imo. German manager has already bought one German rider in so why not bring in another? I don't see who else it could be because Robert Lambert would certainly end up at KL if he wanted to race over here.............Unless Buster is broke?????
