Is that to have less material on the straights? They have done really well just to get this meeting on! Fair play to them for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t see Plymouth fans doing it. Show me a thread any thread, drop a pen even and whatever thread it lands on it will be riddled with them. And before any off them well Lisa in particular tells me I am on here it is just highlighting to other fans on what the rest off us are up against.

But thought they might be able to sort it. Team manager's comments prob not help matters either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaizer Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Damned if you do damned if you don't. Think why most promoters call it off if any bad weather in the forecast now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did question he already had a team place! I only suggested it as an option, I didn't know he would go back into the Oxford line up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosh1218 Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Complete Sh*t show from Oxford Speedway 194 miles in van from Hull , hotel room for the night.Went and bought ticket from the Oxford promoter at 4 pm and asked is it on , his reply it will definately go ahead , so for £22 pounds I watched two tractors drive round the track for 40 minutes , not one rider from any side got changed or warmed a bike up . There’s no wonder fans are getting disgruntled 2 weeks running for Oxfords fans ps treat paying supporters with a bit of respect and stop taking the piss out of them why chance it call it off like the two other Wednesday tracks Rant Over 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewy why are you saying the things you're saying when you're own team and others have done similar things but you don't knock them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WembleyLion Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) When I arrived at 7pm it was clear the track was in a poor condition and 40 minutes later it was called off. Having seen the track at close quarters I don’t think there was ever any realistic chance of seeing any Speedway tonight given the earlier rain today. The return of Speedway to Oxford has by and large been a great success and one to celebrate but these questionable decisions to chance it to the last moment do a lot of damage to the club and undoubtedly will drive fans away.

noaksey Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Fancied the fixture but not the 4 hour round trip. I made the right decision for once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were at the stadium at 17:00 and there was blue sky and no rain, however when we went into the grandstand at 18:00 it was obvious no bike would be going on track. Jamie as an ex rider should be more aware of what is acceptable or dangerous and be realistic, all other fixtures for today had been cancelled and the Isle of Wight is cancelled for tomorrow. Don’t get me wrong I am glad speedway is back in Oxford but not everybody can afford fuel to get there. Also unfair to other fans and riders who all face the same cost of living issues we have. I will add that as we left the stadium it started raining again! It would also be helpful to announce the situation before rumours - we heard it had been delayed 5 minutes before it was announced, or you can see that it’s off as none of the riders were changed and we saw them packing their vans 5-10 mins before the announcement.

Riders run the show.Fans should know better by now ,Jamie better watch himself at Berwick with Hans in the Team now,I witnessed his antics at Glasgow a couple of seasons ago( no intention of getting the bikes out the van).
