As the meeting was awarded before the season started how did they know Oxford would get a healthy following. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ch958 Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 congratulations on Oxford getting awarded this but, again, we do have an NSS with no difficulty accommodating the number of people expected, maybe 3/4k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would 3/4k attend with the revised line up though? Clever to have it at Oxford when have to get tickets on advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a bit of weird thing to say. The meeting hasn’t sold out, so either 1) Oxford could accommodate that number of people or 2) the number expected isn’t that high.

The NSS is a great venue with arguably the best race track not just in the UK but the world of speedway. Major events tho need to go around different tracks as much as possible as the events are held under British Speedway not NSS speedway. The only 'home' venue for an event should be for the British Final & Grand Prix. Edited August 12, 2022 by Turnip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you've totally missed the point. This Fixture traditionally night b4 SGP at Cardiff. Was previously at Somerset who had a 4000 crowd in 2019. Oxford now most suitable with decent capacity adjacent to M4 link to South Wales. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U cud say that about club's as well coz u can buy advance tickets for any meeting. Say Poole vs Birmingham or Poole vs Plymouth then seen the line ups of the away team's & think u've been robbed. It's speedway, pay yer money takes yer chance. Can't help riders being injured, banned?? or the curse of GP practice.
