Similar to Poole. I'm led to believe a structural design was done and costed to widen the Poole track into the old greyhound track. The considerable six figure costs were impossible to justify without security of tenure of the stadium.

Her Lewis Kerr interview featured on BBC South and on various socials.😀 NB thanks for buying the stream.

Nice interview. Well done Beth.👍

Nick Morris is on a good run of form and did well both for and against the Pirates this last week!

The riders requested the small bowser after the mid-meeting issues last week. Many riders don't like watering during the meeting after they've got their set-ups right. Mid-meeting watering is as much to do with keeping dust levels controlled for the comfort of the crowds as it is for the riders. Several riders interviewed said how good the track was. Race times were reasonably consistent around the 59-60 sec in the early heats to 61-62 sec mark in the latter stages. Will Cairns tremendous win in heat 15 was 60.43 secs .

Richard Lawson resumes his racing. He's started the journey north very early and is stopping off at Leicester en route.😉😉🤞

That's a good win for the Comets. It shows how fallible Oxford can be when Sam Masters doesn't get a max. BTW I hope young Max Perry is OK.🤞

As usual, thanks for your insightful input Gav!! Brennan saying the track was great, better than the 2024 treble winning season.

...but then goes on to win heat 14.😂

Ryan Ingram breaks down en route north of Oxford, but fortunately is helped by MPT and Dan Gilkes.

No it was his knee!!🤣

Kennett has been released as a permanent replacement apparently.

Lets hope the Presenters/Commentators do their research on who the riders race for - Premiership and Championship - as 11 of the declared 16 (as of 13/8) are Championship riders. It'll be a missed opportunity if only the Prem clubs are mentioned imo! A graphic should also show the forthcoming meetings - where and when - that could 'flash up' on screen throughout the broadcast!

Oxford will have a much better choice of guests for Riss than Eddie. Expect to see a decent 6.5-7.0 pointer when they visit Poole next Wednesday.

Presumably Oxford can only use guests for Riss(7.57) now, but a wider choice for when they visit Poole next week eg Kemp, Barker....?
