I'd assume if a "dead" club was to ride at Oxford it would have to be Swindon or Reading, and even then it wouldn't work unless they were certain of getting their own home sooner rather than later. Unless of course you're mad enough to try the Swindon Racers or the Reading Robins and amalgamate the two!

Imagine if the sport’s governing body had an action committee that swung in to action whenever there was a whiff of a track being redeveloped because believe it or not the laws are actually on our side in a lot of cases, we just don’t know it or in the case of the speedway governing body just don’t care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any AGM is usually only attended by shareholders and directors of the business... It has nothing at all to do with any customers of that business... It then is followed by an official statement as to the past year's performance of the business and, plans they may for the following year and beyond... Customers desperately wanting "bits" of information leading up to it, and during it, will just have to accept being disappointed, and wait until the official statement.....
