Does anyone know if the new investors are coming in to shore up the speedway side of things or if they are shoring up the stadium ?

I'm hoping the latter as I seem to remember if speedway had to pick up the full rent per meeting minus the dogs it was an eye watering number so hopefully if the they are helping refinance the stadium that situation has been avoided. Interested if anyone knows the score Bojangles seems close to Oxford so might have an insight.

r/r for Bowes, picked up an eye injury in the workshop, Kyle, Will and Cooper can take his rides, probably makes us stronger

Yes but Kyle, Will and Cooper are definitely riding better than Bowes

Is a "workshop" injury, a Speedway related injury?

Disappointed to go into a meeting with 6. Especially as I feel Bowes is on borrowed time and I’d rather see him pick up some points. 
on paper it probably does make us stronger. But Oxford are very strong at home, hopefully we keep it within 10. Can’t see Dayle scoring as much as he did last time.

How convenient a poor scoring rider is out, with a non speedway injury?? keeping his average high, for a future change, and far better riders take his place, thus potentially scoring more points 😲. That's not cheating is it 😃

Especially when he has said he hates riding at Oxford.
