Hopefully for those driving there will still be the option of parking at Unipart. Oxford United use it as an overflow facility for sellout matches 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would rule any chance of us visiting if hopefully speedway does reopen there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brianbuck 928 Posted November 23, 2020 Would think in these circumstances, the speedway operators would run a shuttle service. It's heartening to read that there seems to be a genuine possibility of Oxford being revived, but it's a pity that so many people seem to want to be negative in their comments. I wish the people behind the plans every success and look forward to one day being able to visit Oxford again - my last and only visit being on Good Friday of 1958 - the night that Jack Young made his comeback with Coventry! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If my memory isnt playing tricks i'm sure theyve used a shuttlebus for previous big meetings at the stadium. They always use shuttlebuses for the OUFC games. Maybe with options of online booking for meetings, a parking space can be reserved at the same time with priority given to those who need it most. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
