Ipswich vs Oxford 18th April


Recommended Posts

This is definitely a banana skin for us

Magic is class 

Wright goes well at Ipswich 

Tungate Harris Nicholls and Riss all know Ipswich well 

For me much hinges on Jenkins getting 4 or 5 and King and Ellis scoring about 13 or 14 between them

Probably Ipswich's toughest home meeting they'll have all season due to certain riders in the Oxford side who know Foxhall well.

Riss will have a point to prove and if he's back to his old self then he could put up big numbers, Tungate is in red hot form, Wright and Nicholls are both very good around Foxhall too.

Emil and Doyley to win it for the Witches in what could be a last heat decider.

Should be a good battle! Looking forward to this one even more now with Riss and Nicholls in the Oxford side.

how much longer will nicholls be able to trade off that cheap 5.1 average?  I assume that was based on last year?

Depends on how many teams need him to guest to make their team competitive...;):D

In the interests of Speedway obviously...;)

I think it is now  a rolling average, but that means most of the matches are from 2022 as he didn't have a Prem team in 2023.

Klindt goes better at Foxhall than riss, weird team change that must be more to it

That's his current Prem rolling ave, so he should be available on that for the rest of the season.

Tough call but a slender home win here - given the number of ex Witches the Spires have they should be looking to go well here! I hope to be at Owlerton tomorrow rain permitting, but should be in town for the following week V Sheffield which will be odd!

Not that it takes much, but Nicholls has outsmarted the rule makers/promotors. He technically signed for Wolves last year and has signed for Birmingham this year thus meaning he continues on a rolling average of not alot (not his Chanpionship converted) without guest bookings effecting that.

He can continue to take guest bookings and scoring heavily without it effecting his average, picking and choosing which meetings he does to go alongside his TV work.

He's a wily old campaigner.

they need to close this loophole by including scores from the guest bookings to count toward his rolling average?
