Chairboy Posted Saturday at 07:13 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 07:13 AM 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... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleJ Posted Saturday at 08:27 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 08:27 AM 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

Chairboy Posted Saturday at 09:16 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 09:16 AM 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...) 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I never said they didn't, just pointing out they have money if needed to somebody who seemingly questioned the funds available (not you).

It could work against clubs, there have been times when I'm not sure if I'll finish work early enough to go to a match, then on the day I have to question if i want to pay extra to get in & that's often a deal breaker for me.

If he turns up in April all guns firing then yep brilliant but if he has tinkered with bikes and engines in the winter and the damp cold wet nights in the 1st few months and you get a pre may last year Magic your bang in trouble i would say.. He started on an assessed 8, By the end of May he was on 5.28, by the end of July 6.04 and finished the season on 7.02..

He's gonna say that though isn't he? It's a very generic thing to say when you've signed for a team.
