Skidder1 Posted yesterday at 08:41 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 08:41 PM So well done to Oxford progressing to the Play off final and for agreeing the dates so quickly. Also great to hear Oxford running 3 teams again in 2025. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago Looking forward to next week. Going to be a close final. Oxford have huge home advantage and haven’t been beaten at home this season. Dialled in track specialists and 13 and 15 almost a guarantee. But we do have riders capable of challenging Nicholls and Masters, albeit not as good as those two around Cowley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxford should bring in Rowe and Conor coles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not so sure that they have a huge home advantage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes true, we had more trouble at home, Masters and Nicholls ride our track quite well too and Killeen was superb last time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and Rob have got our tickets and suggest Poole fans get them quickly. Dont want to be disappointed on not getting in. Not sure what the capacity is at Cowley but loads of Pirate fans will be making the trip up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazzac Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Looks like Oxford will have the majority of the crowd for the Poole home leg. Always being told it's Wednesday night or nothing by the Poole fans, Friday is probably bath night or something I expect ..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friday has long been Poole's '2nd' night but not often used during the season because so many other teams race on Fridays, as well as rider commitments abroad!!

Was only joking and sure it'll be a fantastic crowd as usual, just thinking if it was financially viable you should be back in the Premiership if a Friday is no problem, sure a Thursday would soon be accepted, but that's another topic that'll come up again I expect. Anyway good luck to both teams next week, the final as expected with 2 teams close to each other on track and geographicly to get bumper crowds.

Poole already advising fans to pre-book in order to guarantee entry as stadium capacity could well be reached - despite some fans already booked to go to Torun!!!
