OXFORD LAUNCH THE SPIRES
OXFORD will break new ground in 2024 by operating at all levels of the British Speedway pyramid.
The Cowley club will continue their astonishing regeneration with their newly created Spires team in the Premiership, whilst the Cheetahs continue in the Championship with skipper Scott Nicholls a confirmed starter – and they are also committed to NDL level racing with the Chargers.
Promoter Jamie Courtney said: “This is a landmark moment for Oxford. The city can now boast a top flight professional sports team of any discipline for first time since the club last raced in the Elite League.
“It is a personal privilege to lead this move into the Premiership which has only been made possible thanks to the extraordinary support and buy-in from our supporters and the general public.
“As a club, we’re ambitious, committed and united in our approach to bringing the good times back to Sandy Lane following such a significant period of inactivity on a site that was earmarked for housing.
“Together with our colleagues operating the greyhound racing division of the stadium’s events, we have proven demand for such provisions is very much alive and our move into the Premiership will take the regeneration of Oxford Stadium to the next level.”
