szkocjasid Posted Monday at 07:52 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 07:52 PM (edited) If Oxford had kept Boughen as thier RS & protecting him. They could've had this team? Rohan Tungate 7.71 Maciej Janowski 7.02 Charles Wright 6.32 Chris Harris 6.06 Peter Kildemand 6.00 Erik Riss 5.55 Ashton Boughen RS Total 38.66 Still a point below the limit, but strong at reserve. It's all ifs, buts & maybes anyway. First two home matches will be difficult & a real test for the team, King's Lynn (with Harris at reserve) & Ipswich.

You've missed the point Why wasn't he in Oxford plans for 2025 ? I have no idea of falling outs etc behind the scenes. That's why I said there's a minimum of two sides to every story Bomber if I remember correctly said in his statement that it will all come out in his book. Let's see what he says when it comes out. Hopefully not for a fair few years. Edited Monday at 08:04 PM by Triple.H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea of falling outs etc behind the scenes. That's why I said there's a minimum of two sides to every story I’ve missed nothing and it’s totally irrelevant as to the reasons of him not being in Oxford’s team in 2025. I was responding to a post that said maybe Harris didn’t want to ride for Oxford anymore, and that clearly isn’t the case whichever way you want to spin it. He was informed he wasn’t in the plans this year, the reasons why they decided that is completely irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted Monday at 08:20 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:20 PM Just now, Triple.H. said: So how do you know he wanted to ride for Oxford and the poster you were replying to was wrong ? Eh? You’re making no sense whatsoever. Let me make it a little simpler for you as you appear to be struggling. Chris Harris himself released a statement saying that he wasn’t in Oxford’s plans. That’s the factual part. Now the rest of his statement is open to debate. My personal point of view, is he didn’t seem to have taken the news particularly well and was happy riding for the club. Of course I don’t know that and could be wrong there. But if it was a mutual decision or he himself wanted to move, then it was a very strange statement to make. But again, I have no idea as to Oxford’s reasoning for not wanting Harris this year, and quite frankly I don’t particularly care. The only fact we know, is that Harris wasn’t in Oxford’s plans because the rider himself said so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aries Posted Monday at 08:23 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:23 PM Harris 100% wanted to remain at Oxford this year and to say he was disappointed he isn’t is an understatement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Irving Posted Monday at 08:30 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:30 PM Harris not being at Oxford is the reason Boughen isn’t either despite him originally being in the side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilly Posted Monday at 08:34 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:34 PM Maybe think how the Boughen to Glasgow move came about, an existing club asset maybe assisting with things to move a younger club asset elsewhere??? Seems plausible?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
