I hope that the plan isn't to bring the inside line in too much thus making the track something similar to the Eastbourne one and two bends? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the safety fence needs to come in for whatever reason, and that would otherwise make the track too narrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvm Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Am I right in thinking the light stanchions have been move? They look like they are on the outside of the greyhound track? Would it make a "possible" substitute venue to hold the Pairs on the night before the GP at Cardiff, now that Somerset has closed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGould Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 new improved drains going in? possibly widening to make suitable for FIM ? Race night wise, didn't Oxford ride Thursdays when in 2nd tier before the seasons with Nielsen / Wigg etc. Can't ride Thursdays in CL but what about Tuesday (now Kent have closed) or Wednesday (would Brummies or Poole complain?)

They did revert back to Thursdays for a couple of seasons (87 & 88?) before going back to Fridays during the Nielsen and beyond eras.
