To me it looks like they known they are not going to win Premiership and are just cutting rider costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sense I think Cam's days of chasing a top league place are over (although never say never!) I think the fact he is riding for fun as such rather than needing to perform is perversely meaning he is enjoying it and therefore actually doing better A great guy and a fantastically talented racer. It's great to see him with a smile and getting some big scores 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 Now Janowski has come good, will be a great guest for a play-offs team as his average will be quite low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's not to like? Agreed. Would be welcome back I’m sure. Also a genuinely nice guy that the whole team seemed to enjoy riding with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 Interesting... Quite a positive reaction for a rider whose average has dropped by a point this season and 2 points from his last stint on our shores! I've quite often had a pretty negative opinion of a rider that calls himself "Magic" while his performances on the world stage have often fitted into the Tragic category! Negative opinion mainly because his performances on the track have not lived up to his immense talent on a Speedway bike and that really annoys me, he's a bit Bewley like in that respect, you see him at his best and you think nobody will beat him ever again and then just goes missing for periods of time. I've got to say that my mind has been turned this season, after the initial disappointment of him not being the world class number one that, I think, most people, including the Oxford promotion, expected to see, I really expected to see him binned off as Oxford chased for honours... didn't happen though and I for one am glad it didn't. There was no pishing the fans and club about from him like some of the other foreign imports, he just stuck at it, kept turning up, riding his Speedway, putting in the effort and gradually got better as the year went on. Every time I saw him, there was 100% effort in all of his races, none of this quitting after a couple of laps and trundling around at the back or pulling off onto the centre... and that's all you can ask for as a fan. He is on a tempting average for next season, lowish considering his late season purple patch and who knows he may revert to type next season... but I'd have him back, first name on the team sheet if I were a Spires fan, a class act! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackInTheDHSS Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 (edited) As @iainb said, I think his 100% effort in every race has been appreciated. He never once gave up in a race, always tried. Edited August 31 by BackInTheDHSS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted November 10 Report Share Posted November 10 The World Speedway Riders Association have named Peter Schroeck their team manager of the year! I can't disagree with their summary of his season: Having managed Oxford’s teams for all 66 fixtures across the 3 levels of British Speedway, the German has shown the greatest commitment in 2024! But being in charge of the most meetings doesn't make him the best manager! I've never suggested he doesn't work hard, but he's one of the worst "tactical" managers I've ever seen. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always seems to be highly criticised on here for his tactical errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
