Which just proves the BSPL is not fit for purpose, and the sooner the old die hards are removed the better.

Does he, or did i read some months ago that another developer (Taylor Wimpey ?) had acquired an option/rights on the stadium, I am sure something like that was posted somewhere, or maybe i was dreaming.

I believe i am right in saying there used to be a Market on site, there was definately Vehicle auctions on site, there was Greyhound racing, and there was Speedway not to mention a possibility of Park & ride, so when you take away all the income streams is it any wonder the site is not viable?, but basically it's been a form of asset stripped by the owner.

Is this Steve Park guy Clark Osborne in disguise ?, I had never heard of him until recently, probably doesn't know one end of a speedway bike from another, not to mention which way riders go around a track.

I believe it was the leaseholder Mr Boothby that said it..

Not quiet, PGR are in talks about possibilities at Oxford so all is not lost, and in reply to Ray their are 2 companies that stream greyhound racing they are PGR consisting of Ladbrokes, Corals, and ARC which stream from their own tracks and several others, SIS stream the remaining tracks and several Greyhound tracks over in Ireland, basically the many thousands of pounds earned from streaming these live races keeps the Stadiums open, so for any of them to lose those streaming contracts it is a huge blow to their viability, which is where Oxford are right now, and for those that do not know the lease at Oxford allegedly was/is for 10 years.

I have no idea where this multi millionaire came from, he allegedly only ever spends other peoples money and it is a fact that he often enjoys having a bet, seems this time his gamble has come unstuck.

I am going to comment about the weather, Laurence knows what it's like up in the Dales at this time of the year, there was no need to start the season until the Mayday Bank holiday, their will be plenty racedays between May and the end of September, more than enough to get the fixtures in, the extra 4 weeks could have been used getting further improvements done. I really do wish Buxton all the best and it is great to see them back up and running, I will be up their myself just as soon as i have some reliable wheels and the weather gets warmer, so you see standing around in freezing temperatures is not ideal for everyone especially for us OAP's.

Neither did Luke Harris, maybe they did'nt want to get frostbite.

I think their could well be some Oxford riders available as I can't see how the Stadium will stay open, I would be looking to draft in either Luke Killeen or Mitchell McDiarmid and definately Darryl Ritchings at 7, as I think the only points Tom will score is if their are only three finishers.

Even on the Greyhound sites their is little news coming out, what i do know is that their was supposed to be a Greyhound meeting at Oxford last night but it did not take place, as for the removal of equipment I have no idea but it would not surprise me if it has not been paid for, I did think another Greyhound promoter may take it on but from what is being said the alleged terms of the lease seem to make it unviable especially without any streaming income, which basically leaves Speedway at Oxford up in the air or in laymans terms, up the creek without a paddle.

Basically yet another balls up by the BSPL, what a useless bunch of clowns they are, but hey never mind we have a new Track and Team so everything is on the up, or so they believe.

Yep same rumour that I have heard.

Thank you, I would not have posted unless I was sure and the source has proved reliable in the past, I do believe someone will probably take over the lease, providing the lease is able to be Transferred, I am no businessman but allegedly SIS do have charges against the lease and it would be in no-ones interest to see Oxford close.
