All of the changes so far have just felt like cost cutting. they won’t change the reserves at this stage and the Riss connections have been heavily discussed so it’s only really wright or Harris that would go and unless it’s Zmarzlik/Vaculik coming in there isn’t any point to those 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WembleyLion Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 With the Spires scheduled to have completed 75% of their league fixtures this coming Monday at Belle Vue that means no more changes after that fixture so unless they have made another change or changes yet to be announced (and who will be riding at Belle Vue) Killeen for Kemp is the final one.

Technik Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 29 minutes ago, Wee Eck said: One change in a team can help with a rebuild. Two starts to be unsettling. Three has riders looking over their shoulders wondering if they’re next. Oxford have dropped Kerr twice, Klindt, Cook, and now Kemp. I think I see the pattern - every rider has a K in their name. If I was JanowsKi, EriK Riss, or even LuKe Killen (two of them!) I’d be worried. Unless it’s all a plan by ShroeK to have room to bring in ZmarzliK! Maybe a come back for Petri KoKKo is on the cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 1 hour ago, Weeyin said: I suspect they dropped Kemp to keep Killeen, perhaps Belle Vue were looking at Killeen as a replacement for Bailey as RS, I remember Edinburgh tried to sign Killeen at last season as he had been guesting and it was not allowed by Oxford as they wanted to keep him on a 2 point average for this season, he was allowed to guest That doesn't really make sense to me, how does weakening yourselves to stop Belle Vue strengthening help Oxford against Sheffield or Ipswich if they make the play-offs? Plus Belle Vue have the options of Joe T, Mulford & both Scunny reserves for a RS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilly Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 Embarrassing. We must be so far under the limit it's a record. If we had tried to start the season with this team, it would not be allowed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 Odd very odd, I`d back Drew Kemp to beat Luke Killeen in a match race on any track and in any conditions. Maybe more changes are on the cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 Wright must be getting sacked otherwise something financial is going on. Tungate, Janowski, Harris and Boughen aren't going, Riss is bulletproof when it comes to Peter playing favourites so it only leaves Wright.

Why not just replace Kemp with Vaculik/Zmarzlik. ... unless of course they are both being signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 Clearly a financial decision surely, is running the 3 teams starting to take its toll on the money side of the club? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if it’s a financial decision then magic would be gone. Especially if he is being paid as a number one but riding like a second string. can’t see much of a saving on kemp for Killeen personally. It’s a double whammy too as not only are you replacing a second string with a reserve you are also loosing a high scoring reserve into the team. then to make this move now and jeopardise your place in the playoffs is beyond madness.

At the minute the Killeen for Kemp change makes little or no sense, should a second change be incoming, a Laguta or a Zmarzlik for example then maybe it was worth doing.

Teromaafan Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 Tommy Tanker owns the lease? Sure that’s not his real name. His first name is Kevin, his main job is a Merchant Banker apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
