OXFORD could be forced to move racenight to a Wednesday if their Cowley landlords introduce greyhound racing on Fridays.

Promoter Nigel Wagstaff said: ''This is a worrying move and I wouldn''t feel comfortable having no alternative but a Wednesday. ''It would leave us high and dry and I really don''t feel it would be commercially viable. I would have to consider my future if that becomes the case.''

WORLD championship leader Jason Crump spearheads a powerful line-up for the Elite League Riders'' Championship at Poole on September 12 (4pm). Crump, who leads the Grand Prix series with three rounds to go, is joined by Leigh Adams and Greg Hancock who currently make up the top three. Poole co-promoter Matt Ford said: ''The action will be fast and furious, particularly when you consider that the line-up consists of 14 riders who featured in the World Cup.''

LINE-UP: Leigh Adams (Swindon), Ryan Sullivan (Poole), David Howe (Wolverhampton), Greg Hancock (Oxford), Andreas Jonsson (Coventry), Mark Loram (Arena Essex), Lee Richardson (Peterborough), Bjarne Pedersen (Poole), Nicki Pedersen (Eastbourne), Kenneth Bjerre (Belle Vue), Scott Nicholls (Ipswich), David Norris (Eastbourne), Jason Crump (Belle Vue), Gary Havelock (Peterborough), Mikael Max (Wolverhampton), Hans Andersen (Ipswich).
