Well Rosco certainly wants and hopes to run in 2022 according to this week's piece in Speedway Star, whether in a 'new' stadium or as it was in 2019!! He reckons they - the speedway club - are expecting an update from the stadium management any time soon!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck with that. 2022 will be a vastly different place in the speedway world, compared to 2019. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dog 413 Posted August 31, 2021 Given the amount of peace and quiet the residents of the houses behind have had over the last 18 months I can't see them welcoming speedway back with open arms any time soon... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In all honesty I think Oxford will move into the Championship at the highest. I know there are a good amount of supporters within the Oxford area but they will need to swell their numbers to make the top league a viable option & with news from Eastbourne & Newcastle already vacancies are available Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The residents of houses near Shielfield Park had peace and quiet for 15 years before Berwick moved back. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it starts You can't complain if you move next to a "nuisance". However, this could prove messy, some residents may have moved in whilst there was no racing. On the other hand the track has always been there and racing was just taking a break because of the redevelopment of the stadium.

Steve0 5,517 Posted October 6, 2021 After 3 years away, it will require a mammoth effort to get people interested in going again as they will have found other things to do on a Thursday evening. Plus the people in the new houses will have some justification in complaining about the noise! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
