Imagine taking a newcomer to the meeting today . "Wheres that Aussie bloke that nearly won the World Championship last year?" "Oh, Brady Kurtz, naah he's not riding today, he's banned" "Thats a shame, was looking forward to seeing him! Why's he banned, what did he do?" "Errrr... he was ill last week"

Terrible timing and it looks like we may loose Oxford. such a shame as its a fantastic facility and 7 riders may loose their jobs. Nobody could have predicted this turn of events and I really hope its not as bleak as it looks..

The great irony here is timing. Had SIS have pulled out a month ago, the future of Oxford Speedway may have been far more assured for 2026. The BSPL and PL Promoters would have shelved the very costly Northampton project, that must be costing them more that £100,000 and pumped £20,000 a month rent in to Oxford and run an Oxford Team in the PL. To optimise income, they could still have run an Oxford Team in the CL. That would have given a further 12 months to properly market and develop Northampton, if it was still needed after a bigger reorganisationfor 2027. Timing!        

Let's hope these are just silly roumers & it doesn't go like my team Newcastle did & closed down for various ( the dogs pulling the plug on the speedway & making it very hard  for our former owner Rob grant to carry on with the club due to reasons beyond his control & I know some Newcastle fans are still bitter at the way he closed it down but he couldn't go on losing money like he was )for 1  reason or another 

I was lead to belive it was the speedway one that had disappeared 

You have made a good point. i think he will.
