Could somebody new not run Oxford Independently of present Promotion.(don’t call them Northampton). .Just a thought.🤔

Probably bad business for Oxford speedway to let someone else run a team named Oxford out of their track. Could split the fan base.

I mean that would just about sum up the state of British Speedway really. 

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!

If a former club comes back it has to be at there home town, nomad teams are no good for credibility especially if they are miles away from the town itself but I believe the bspl is so desperate for a 6th team I wouldn’t put it past them to run a zielona gora team out of the Isle of Wight

Definitely bad business, they'd be running in direct competition to the other promotion.

Couldn't someone just open Swindon?

They have a track and a stand and their old promoters don't seem to want to run the sport there...

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

The silence is deafening. 
the customer is treated like a third class citizen 

To be fair to fhem...

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.....

When we're left guessing as to whether the AGM is even taking place this week, It basically says it all.
