Oxford Spires 2025


Recommended Posts

Things not going too well for Oxford, it seems. Unable to fill their teams but able to announce that admission prices are going up next season (only by £1). And they intend to charge £2 to park in a car park they don't own and which is a 10 minute walk from the track? I know, be grateful that speedway is back at Oxford...

I’d imagine the car park cost is because of the cost of the car park changing to the speedway, or the bus company increasing their hire cost. 

Cost of everything has gone up countrywide. Can’t blame promotion for that!

This hits single travellers more when it’s basically £2 per person, where as four in a car would work out just 50p each

I agree, Mr J. I'm trying hard not to criticise the promotion here! But the reality is that any individual who decides on the day to attend a Premiership meeting at Oxford - and then parks at Unipart, even with no intention of using the coach - is now paying £27.

It’s Mrs 😉

I normally come to Oxford by myself but for championship matches. With the distance I travel (90 minutes each way) a £3 increase for entry and car park is bearable providing I remember to book the night before. 
 

it’s still cheaper for me by a long way to get the livestream!

Sorry, Mrs J - a basic sexist error on my part there. I recall having a conversation with a female Peterborough fan as we walked back to the car park after a meeting at Oxford last summer. I guess that could have been you! Hope to see you next season (not that I'm trying to turn the BSF into a dating website, but who knows...) 😄
