Triple.H. Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) Its been announced its at Oxford august 12th, the night before the GP So if you want to plan ahead So a heads up for anyone wanting to book accomodation, Premier Inn Cowley a 10 minute walk from stadium Holiday Inn Express and Hampton by Hilton both by the Kasstad and 20 minute walk from stadium There are newly opened Premier Inns in the Citycentre and Botley which is just off the A34 Both on very regular bus routes which will get you to a couple of minutes walk from the stadium , you'll have to change in the Citycentre if going from Botley. From Citycentre all you need is a return ticket from Botley a daypass to cover all bus operators, currently £3.80 return or £4.30 for a day pass Theres a Travelodge on the Abingdon rd, and a Jury's hotel in Wolvercote Obviously lots of other hotels and BnB's around from very expensive to very cheap, ive just chosen big chain hotels that are normally not a rip off price to let anyone who wants to book well in advance know about Edited December 16, 2021 by Triple.H. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple.H. Posted December 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 Also an Easy hotel has recently opened in Summertown, I haven't a clue about their carparking arrangements. It's also a couple of bus rides away from the stadium on busy and frequent routes. Oxford most days is pretty gridlocked. Fridays can be worst as A34 is chockablock with shed taggers during the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffeboy Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Just trying to get myself sorted for the GP weekend and I notice that the CL Pairs is not listed on the Speedway GB fixtures for August. Can anyone confirm that the 12th August at Oxford is correct. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Third Man Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Has anyone heard when the tickets go on sale for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technik Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 I would guess that the promotion at Oxford will wish to hold out for a few weeks as they expect the maximum capacity to increase from its existing 2000. The first two events at Cowley have sold out (Long may that continue) & as the work there gets closer to its finish I think the capacity can near double Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffeboy Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 Getting a bit concerned now about no news of tickets for sale. I’ve booked accommodation for the night which I can cancel with no penalty up to one month before the date ( July 12th ). After that day I lose the lot if I can’t get a ticket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean any disrespect. But I feel putting this issue on an open public forum is not going to help you at all. Can I suggest that you make contact with the BSPA and/or Oxford speedway direct as they will be the only ones who can possibly assist you with this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However just put it on here to see if other people are concerned as well. Never had this sort of carry on at Somerset which was a great venue and always ran the event brilliantly. I shall be getting in touch with Oxford next week anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anzum Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 They always mention the pairs meeting, during one of the gaps in the racing, when discussing what meetings are still to come this year. They definitely give the impression the meeting will be on at Oxford on August 12th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contacted Oxford direct, weeks ago, simply to get a start time so that I could plan my onward journey to Cardiff. I'm glad I didn't hold my breath. Edit: I see the meeting is listed on both the Oxford and BSPL websites as 7:30 start Edited July 9, 2022 by False dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffeboy Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 Sorry I have to say this typical , once again of Speedway in this country not looking out for the supporters. The meeting is a month away and still no ticket info. What about all the travelling supporters, we must all be in the same situation regarding hotels!!!. Pathetic. E mailed Sunday no reply today.

oleoleole Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 I emailed Oxford last Wednesday …… no reply as yet. I’ve rung them several times ….. always get “beep beep beep” cancelled call !? It looks like tickets for home team meetings go on sale a week before the fixture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shared event so it may be the BSPL who are [not] selling tickets. It would be nice to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine what will happen if they put the tickets up the week before. I shall be extremely annoyed if this goes pear shaped. I also have received no response to my e mail.

B52 Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 As per the previous 4 or 5 pre-covid years I will be running a coach from Cardiff city centre to the Championship League Pairs which this year takes place at the wonderful Oxford Stadium. The coach will be a 52 seater Mercedes vehicle with toilet and as it stands 22 seats remain. The plan is for the coach to leave Walkabout at 3pm and returning to Cardiff shortly after the presentation. The cost is £20 per adult and £12 per under 16. People who have been on my numerous trips to the Continent / Pairs will be able to vouch for the well organised and fun trips! Anyone interested in booking seats should contact me via PM. Thanks, Stevie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr8scot Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Will the tickets be on sale from Oxford Speedway or BSPA when they do finally make an appearance? I get they are hoping to increase capacity but can they not sell tickets up to current capacity with a contingency to sell more if possible?

Hilly Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 Anybody know the format for this meeting? Hopefully no reserve who must take a ride rubbish. Assume a 4-3-2-0 scoring system, top scorers into final with 2nd n 3rd in race off. If all the top 2's turn up on the night, should be a great meeting.
