The best stadium in London is the Tottenham Hotspur stadium but the area is far from the best but you can see they are starting to do parts of it up. Probaly would actually be the easiest to convert to a speedway track aswell due to it having two pitches so no damage to the football pitch. 50,000 fans would be a pretty much sell out but I don’t see a speedway meeting get those sort of numbers these days. Wembley is a fantasy and too big for speedway now and I believe the London Stadium has seating removed when it’s converted for athletics so would need the same for speedway. I just cannot see how economical a speedway gp would work in a big London stadium.

Discovery plus and Eurosport are showing it

Silverstone is for all events not just formula 1. Oxford speedway is not the only event I am going to this year where I will pay more money to enter on the day than I would if I bought a ticket in advance. My Stepfather does MG car runs which he enters and has to pay for in advance and if the weather is rubbish he doesn’t go and loses his money, at least with the speedway you get your money back or go to another meeting. I do however think it’s stupid that you can’t pay by card on the day.

It’s not unusual for motorsport events to be cheaper to get in if you pay in advance. Silverstone no longer have ticket offices on the day and you buy the ticket in advance and they have a cut off date for cheaper tickets.

During the World Superbike coverage at the weekend and advert said that speedway gp and British speedway is on Eurosport/Discovery Plus all season long.

Already have

I see that the BT Sport/Eurosport merger has been officially announced and is called TNT sports. So BT sport changes name in August and Eurosport will close the following year. Currently have 7 channels between them but that number will be reduced. It seems current BT Sport content will be moved to the discovery plus app in time which must mean an increase in subscription rates. If they put football, rugby, ufc and the other sports I can’t see it being £60 a year.

I”m sure Oxford’s cost will have gone up by 10% so it needs to be past on.

I think that was Todd”s first ride in his comeback, it didn’t make Crump very popular at Oxford.

WSB in Indonesia last year and I’m pretty sure another round lost a race earlier in the season.

AJ showed more aggression after the fight!, I think years of being the corporate man evaporated in a three minute speech. Usyk was superb tonight and AJ’s performance was better but I’m still surprised he didn’t fight like the bigger man. I would still back Fury to beat Usyk.

AJ needs to put it on him but he does seem a bit mentally weak after the fat Mexican middleweight knocked him out. I think his game plan will be better and more aggressive with Garcia in his corner. Fury comes out of retirement if AJ wins and stays in retirement if Usyk wins.

You see much more than that if you’re in a grandstand especially Woodcote.

I think they said on the World Superbikes coverage that only the final is on Eurosport and all other meetings on the player.

Look at what happened with the Norton takeover, the new company had no obligation to look after customers who had problems with the order of bikes under the previous owner. Out of goodwill they offered generous terms on new machines but did not have too.

Went to Silverstone for the British Superbikes early this year and you had to set up an account and then buy your ticket as they had no ticket office. We didn’t realise this until we arrived so ended up in the customer support centre. Food outlets you could pay using cash so. With Oxford having a capacity limit I expect it is much easier to keep track of the number off tickets sold using online selling. Pubs, sporting events and businesses are going cashless so people are just going to have to get used to it.

I did exactly the same with walking around the terrace!!

British Superbikes

Females can play snooker alongside the men but at the moment there isn’t anyone good enough. Matchroom would love a high profile woman snooker player, just look at what they have done with Fallon Sherrock in the darts.

Very true, Newman and Heeps have been very disappointing. We used 8 points at reserve so the side has been in balance after Josh’s injury. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some changes.

Cracking meeting, Bomber was a superb guest.

Eurosport starting in early May

But Poole were built using a CL rider at reserve Oxford were not. Still it was there choice not to get a guest so you can’t really moan about it.

It is signposted so quite easy to find.

He would have been at Silverstone where Seth is riding.
