Would be good for the club to put some meat on the bones to provide assurance of longevity though. I'd hope that Jamie is having a well earned rest, after what has probably been a bloody stressful week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilTheAce Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago can the speedway run without the dogs as it might have to. the GBGB (Greyhound board of great britain) have already removed Oxford from the latest calendar published on friday. so the dogs are 100% finised there i imagine. can the speedway find the 2 million debt?????

Why would the speedway need to find the 2 million debt, that’s an absurd thing to say! It’s quite simple really, the speedway now need to do their own lease agreement with the stadium owners rather than through a third party which included the dogs. As far as I know this new arrangement is agreed and it’s all systems go for the rest of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxford Speedway Ltd have apparently reached an agreement to continue to operate at the stadium (obviously who with only they know). The debt, I believe, is owed by Oxford Stadium Limited. The stadium is owned by Galliards, so maybe they have come to an agreement over the lease payment for at least this season. Beyond that,who knows… Edited 1 hour ago by Toady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stadium Lease / rent was for £xxx a few weeks ago shared by speedway and the dogs, which the dogs appeared to pay the majority share via streaming fees, now the rent has to be found by speedway, which is totally not viable, so troubling times ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buster owns Kings Lynn stadium but if it was not for stockcars it would fold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original lease was for 15 years I believe but I could be wrong on that so the new lease for the speedway might only be short term. Gallard Homes can now say the stadium is not profitable and it will help there case to redevelop the land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence that one is ripped up and put in the bin and a new speedway only lease has been agreed at a sensible rate for the amount of use the speedway has at the stadium. Its then up to stadium owners to try and do a new greyhound deal to make up the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
