Bojangles Posted November 5 Report Share Posted November 5 2 minutes ago, LisaColette said: Gotta feel for Oxford here as didn't they pay over the odds for him in the first place? So prob wanted a few seasons out of him. Yeah, I doubt he was cheap! Maybe Ashton felt a bit disgruntled that Luke Killeen rose above him in the pecking order.... or he just wanted to race at Glasgow each week as he likes it there. Either way, I'd rather have him than not have him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a similar thing at Glasgow? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if he's going to learn how not to shut off in traffic there's no one better to learn from 🤣. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until AGM is done it would be irresponsible to state which club Ashton has signed for as it may change again but currently it's not Oxford.

With clubs like Workington, Glasgow, Scunny etc available to provide track time this may have played a big part in Ashtons change of heart as there is no denying track time is a big appeal to riders especially the youngsters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression the residents around Glasgow speedway are against more track time for riders, due to noise and dust problems?

Think it was resident, and has been previously stated buying a house next to a speedway stadium then complain that there is Speedway next to my house after purchasing it is madness. But no restrictions has been reported as to when the track can be used. Thankfully. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then becomes the 44th rider to sign for Glasgow and gets his throttle fixed so as it only turns the faster way. Waiting on my cash out offer so I care. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what's your prediction for which championship club Dan Thompson will ride for in 25? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerryxo Posted November 5 Author Report Share Posted November 5 Oxford still have it on their website and social media that Ashton is with them for 2025. If/as/when this changes, I can update the confirmed list on the front page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
