Bojangles Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) Interesting team that. Thought they might have gone with Atkins. It is going to be so weird having Masters, Jenkins, Harris, Wright and Kerr racing against us, though.

FishersGate Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Good side. Great number 1 and some solid pros in there. Dark horses with that team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manifesto Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Such a difficult team to judge, full of riders who can go and score well on any away track, If they want to do well they cannot carry anyone. Tungate and Janowski the key riders for me, if they have good seasons they will win the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janowski will be fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Looks a good team to me, Lewis Kerr should be a strong reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Dark Horses imo. Using real GSA's the team actually comes to 40.30 therefore it should be very competitive (Janowski must have been re-assessed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Very decent team, can see the reserve berth being a bit of hot potato with a different rider every month where that riders average sky rockets. Can see all but Janowski potentially spending time there - it worked for the Panthers when they won the league in 2021. I'm not a big Janowski fan, but it's good to have him back in UK league racing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Magic is a big signing and will gate wherever he goes, the rest are prone to good and bad days as covered above. Boughen is a huge gamble at RS, yes plenty of potential/ability and could be a master stroke or could be a banana skin. Will he take kindly to 3 rides a meeting? is it a season too early? Will Atkins be cheesed off about the decision? Only time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one club doesn’t care about the cup enough to enter then why should any of the other clubs or their fans care. Teams shouldn’t be picking and choosing if they enter the KO Cup or not.

Yeah, as a fan, I would want to win the cup - so to not even be in it is a bit of a blow. I'm guessing there's been a lot of compromises from both sides (BSPA and Oxford) over running in all three leagues.

Bojangles Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Spires tickets £22 if bought in advance (£24 on the day). £2 more expensive than the Cheetahs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after being signed why can't we all know the numbers? 40 minutes ago, Bojangles said: Oxford Spires not competing in the KO Cup. Did we know about that? I didn't. I'm reminded of the case of Man U not taking part in the FA Cup some years ago and the outcry that followed their decision. I believe the rules were changed to prevent this happening again (?).

Chris Harris at reserve? He can then effectively "guest" for riders in his own team 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
