Jaizer Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 (edited) For me Oxford have got Atkins who overachieved anyone's expectations and imo isn't 2nd string ready, heeps is what heeps is but concerning if can't score well at home and Jenkins was expected to make the jump to HL but he seems to be having an horrific start to the season in both leagues. Once Jenkins comes good will do ok but will struggle for play offs IMO. Edited April 18 by Jaizer . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbell1995 Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 What a performance from the Gladiators last night. This will be a bit of a shock to those who haven’t given the team a chance this season as you’d think this side are only going to get stronger as the season progresses once the No. 1 position is sorted. I’m used to poor refereeing decisions in football but it’s a real sour taste in the mouth this morning when it would appear Thompson did get past Nicholls on the line for what would’ve been a 45-45 draw and then a superheat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would the ref need to look at the replays anyway, don't they use transponders now? Apparently transponders are a requirement this season but at the moment the technology does not work at all stadiums !!! Another British speedway #### up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another British speedway #### up Just change the word "all" for "the vast majority of" and you are about right. BSPL sought advice about transponders, chose not to take it and went for the cheapest option and unbelievably ended up buying something that doesn't work very well.

HGould Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 There really is no excuse especially at dog tracks like Oxford where photo finish equipment is already installed and can be very quickly interpreted. As a dog race tends to do a lap and a bit the beam is switched on for the finish and provides a mirror image down to one pixel or less. Not rocket science is it, technology us decades old.

Not sure that using a 2nd string to guest at 1 was the best idea but then again using r/r at Scunthorpe didn't exactly work either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We thought zach would do a job didn't work out but more than happy with how things are shaping up good bunch of lads,no prima Donna's just honest lads who love riding their bikes and competing, I'm sure speedway fans around the country will enjoy watching the gladiators race this season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I’m saying is I think Cook has played around with his set up and scored enough pts to make it worth his while , I watched the match and I’m sure others will agree if they took the Poole glasses off 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 You would think using one of their own assets to guest would be a positive?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
