Not that many fans from overseas, and very few from Britain at Cardiff this year. For me British League speedway is overpriced..

Tickets are now available, in advance only on the website. Should be a cracker with 10 teams competing.

Well done Rasmus..the ex-Swindon double winner, now Danish champion. Hopefully future GP rider.

Agree..Nearly 20000 gave it a miss this year. Tele for me next year. A Bewley win saved the day for the organisers.

Fantastic Doyle, 4 wins in a row

There was talk Andy Hobbs, owner of Man and Van and many properties, based at Stone Lane, Lydiard Millicent was interested in investing. His place is outside of Swindon council boundary. The Aussie guys used to have workshops there. Swindon council have no interest in much sporty, arty or recreational it seems, closing a leisure centre, two pitch n putt courses, golf course, museum etc.,

A friendly atmosphere as well, Swindon and Oxford fans mingling and chatting. Wouldn't happen at Football!

Having done 2 trips to Oxford they must be the best supported club in Britain. Packed both times a real successful return.

Dantastic win, and great racing!

Great to see the Maryport lad on the new track.

Can remember when speedway was March to October, over 30 home meetings for Robins. Late August and September is normally decent weather for racing. What size attendances do the first and second teams get?

An early finish to the season mid-August, only 4 and a half months of speedway, but very successful comeback with some big crowds and some good racing for the Ox. Great stadium.

It was a joke

Thames Water ban on watering.

There was a great pass near the end when the water tractor overtook the grading tractor. In the Star today" expecting riders to perform to the best of their abilities on that track was like asking the Bake Off finalists to produce a cake without any flour or sugar."A large number of big stones were found on the surface.

Great to see so many there, but don't think I would attend the event again, weakened pairs, hardly any passing. Good stadium, Oxford have had great off-track success on their return, good luck to them.

Another surprise home loss for the Ox. 4 wins, 5 defeats. Would have been heavier with Masters riding.

Don't know mate we normally get the cheapest, varies from 20 to 39 quid over the years. With over 40000 seats unsold this year probably a bigger choice of seating positions. But then you can buy the cheapest seat and move into a dearer one.

Thanks eric ido you have attendances for any other years?

They fence off some lower tier seats, perhaps 10000?

Good crowd of over 3000 at the Pairs

73931

And the EFL had it's highest opening day attendances for years. 19000 at the GP, nearly 19000 at Cardiff City game, and 5 figures for the Hundred in Cardiff. The city centre was packed. Can't see the speedway getting 20000 fans to return though. Never see 40000 there again unfortunately When Swindon were running used to get coaches full of fans going from Blunsdon, plus the cars and couple of hundred on the train. Quite a few from Newcastle also. Other clubs have closed since. What happened to all the Poles? It's on in September next year so still clashes with the football. A lot of fans were moaning about the difficulty in getting the digital tickets. We always get ours from the ticket office on day.

19000 looked about right around a quarter of seats occupied. How many do they need to make it financially viable.
