Cannot remember if the referee warned Luke before (should have been) but he moved in that heat also so maybe a combination of the two things got him excluded?

Fromafar Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 Watching Ht12 on Bandit Tv. Luke Killeen doesn’t even move till Lasse touches the the tapes.Should he have been allowed to repair his damaged machine or not.Scotty moved first but did not touch tapes.

Bojangles Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 (edited) Oxford have arguably been robbed of three away wins by poor decisions (Workington, Killeen excluded - Redcar, Nicholls excluded - Berwick, Killeen excluded). Thankfully they should still make the playoffs, but hopefully the luck will start to even itself out! Edited August 4 by Bojangles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen the incidents you are talking about would agree.should make play offs though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 Very enjoyable meeting, one because many thought, including me, that Berwick had little or no chance of winning and secondly because of how the meeting ended with an extra heat home win. Sadly its the last home league match next week but though there were rumours last night of a junior individual meeting in September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season has been particularly shambolic regarding the fixture list. Clubs having weeks off in the height off summer is mind blowing especially for a SUMMER SPORT. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to be a complete overhaul at the top , this continuing every year and be expected to be treated seriously is laughable. Fans are just an afterthought by the decision makers. The list of decisions made at the start of each season is getting more bizarre ,the icing on the cake being the 38 team building limit this year. That decision topped the list for madness by a distance, in my opinion there should be a body representing supporters for there input on what fans think and taken into account. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the limit had been any higher than 38 then the league would have been even more a league of two halves than 2023 was - a battle between the haves and the have-nots. It was a necessary evil due to the number of heatleaders that departed the league and in fact probably needed to be even lower as Plymouth's struggles to get a number 1 demonstrate. Perhaps it is Glasgow's poor team building that is troubling you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 Off thread but I would like to highlight the work the supporters club are doing behind the scenes to help keep Berwick Speedway on track with their 5-1 draw. The information is on other parts of social media as to how to join but to date the supporters club have handed over £55000 to the club, without which its very difficult to see how speedway would survive in the town. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many heatleaders departed the league over the rumoured 38 point limit this time last year, and found other avenues rather than be left out? Did they jump or were they pushed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange comment the Glasgow team this year wasn’t great we could all see that but the standard of entertainment has went up another level so all good from that front. I can get your point to a certain extent but diluting the product year on year and still changing fans the same or more isn’t going to end well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diluting the product certainly doesn’t attract bigger Attendances.They don’t seem to worry about that though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
