Sorry to read that Kevin Boothby is unwell and wish him all the best on his road to recovery. As regards the Oxford Stadium situation, after the massive effort from all concerned in making the reopening of Oxford, the success that it undoubtedly has been, it would be gutting for all involved if any of those various rumours had any foundation. Only time will tell, of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds On Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 so is there any foundation behind the rumours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojangles Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 (edited) 13 minutes ago, Odds On said: so is there any foundation behind the rumours? Not really. The rumours are simply based on Kevin Boothby's illness (he's got leukemia), so they are presuming Towcester and Oxford will be in trouble. Reality is the plans for Suffolk Downs are still ongoing, so there's likely to be more tracks in Boothby's portfolio - not less. If the worst does happen, and he steps down, Mike Davis is likely to take over. Edited August 12 by Bojangles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
