Potentially a good signing I think, not an Oxford fan but looking forward to seeing how Gusts develops, some solid performances in SGP2 ovee the last couple of years and an established rider on the continent. Good to see a new face and, hopefully for Oxford, and the league in general, see them devlop into a force in the UK
Get ready for lots of moaning about non refundable hotel bookings!
A word of advice for those thinking Of making a weekend of it in Manchester dates clash with Parklife festival which is always one od the highest demabd weekends for hotels in Manchester so few hotel bargains to be had!
View is fine, not affected by podium in centre green and a decent view of big screen.
Facilities are basic to say the least, only nod to a potential large crowd seems to be addition of 7 portaloos.. Catering is woefull however, just one small hatch serving beer, burgers and softdrinks, staffed by a very inexperienced team. Managed tonight but if anything approaching even a normal league match attendance on Saturday it will be chaos!
Only fair to consider costs involved, I would imagine that there is a cost involved with renting the space for car parks ( with exception on Sth Stand) and security team to man them, all will ultimately be reflected in the end price.
For comparison the cost of parking at newly opened co-op arena nearby is £25 per event (even when they end up being cancelled!)
