Fight to halt Cheetahs extinction
Plans to save under-threat Oxford Cheetahs from closure will be discussed at an emergency fans' meeting.

Campaign group Save Our Speedway (SOS) says it will fight to preserve Oxford's speedway heritage.

Speaking ahead of Tuesday's meeting, SOS spokesman Chris Brown said, "It will be a tragedy if the sport ceases to be staged in the Oxford area."

A rescue plan needs to be approved before the entrants to the Conference League are finalised later this month.

The Cheetahs' problems began when issues arose over a failure to agree a deal on leasing the stadium site.

Previous promoter Allen Trump left in December, frustrated after failing to agree a stadium deal.
