Ironically, I presume Oxford pulling out of the top tier has also lost revenue for the stadium..

Whether it did or did not, I think it’s all about the dogs, unfortunately. All it shows is that the often-mentioned subject of viability has reared its ugly head again.

Which would be completely usual on a non event day?

Do you know this as a fact as statements like this can be extremely damaging.

From my point of view why would the stadium owners kick out a source of income. Surely you just let the speedway continue whilst you attempt to resolve the greyhound situation?

Would be nice to think that they will allow the speedway to continue to the end of the season, but after that previous experience with Galliards, says they will use the viability card and submit new plans for the site.

Tractors have been removed from the site apparently

It may not be that simple depending on the lease arrangement.

Fingers crossed the speedway can continue though

Stuff been removed from the site  including tractors and toilet equipment and other stuff. 

 

Doesn't look good to me. Hope it's not true

I reckon you’re correct, SIS pulling out have played a blinder for Gallards.

If you drive past any day the stadium is not in use you will see exactly the same.
