old bob at herne bay 828 Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) Any predictions for who will line up for the return of the Cheetahs ? Will be a challenge to bring in a couple of heat leaders that will put “bums on seats” wonder whether Nicki Pedersen might be persuaded to lead the club back on track in 2022 ?

Hope they have an alternative race night as well as plenty of Champ clubs have Fridays and Oxford will be bottom of the list for those (if it is decided on who has ridden them the longest!) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Technik 478 Posted October 27, 2021 I think they will be forced to come back into the top league by the BSPA as they can't continue with only 6 clubs in that league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RS50 359 Posted October 27, 2021 Thought I heard some time ago, that any new team could not start in the top league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) I also heard they will be top league. Jamie Courtney over seeing things, that's why I think Harris went Berwick so he's under 1 promotion. Doyle was mentioned to me going there, as was Barker and Harris. Doyle Harris Barker So if your an Oxford fan. Fingers crossed Edited October 27, 2021 by Phil The Ace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fingers crossed If I was an Oxford fan I'd be hoping it is not true. I'd want a viable operation that stands a decent chance of long term sucess and I fear that running in the PL would not provide that. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted October 27, 2021 They have a bit of an advantage really, tge longer the team are away the more fans seem to return, look at Birmingham (when they 1st returned) and Leicester as examples. They will also get the speedway nuts from Swindon and Coventry and maybe some somerset also. They will have big crowds I'm sure. Only question for me is if it will be ready before March 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted October 27, 2021 If the promotion at Oxford are considering a return straight into the top flight then the authorities need to be alerted as there is a lunatic on the loose. I certainly hope they are not being coerced by the mafia into a league on which they will have no say on the rules just so the "established" teams have some more numbers for their elitist league. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another set of fans that could easily get to Oxford if they are missing speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevehone 3,428 Posted October 27, 2021 i wonder if the stadium owners are saying they need to be top league to return? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
