The company operating the greyhound racing facility located on Sandy Lane in Oxford has entered into liquidation procedures following a financial crisis.
Oxford Stadium faced immediate difficulties after its primary broadcasting partner withdrew its coverage of greyhound events.
In April 2026, Sports Information Services announced it would cease transmitting greyhound racing content from the venue, citing substantial financial losses and plans to consolidate its fixture schedule.
The appointment of liquidators Matthew Hoy and Shane Biddlecombe, representing TruSolv based in Southampton, was confirmed following instructions from creditors and company members.
This development follows the earlier liquidation of Henlow Racing Limited, which operated from the same Oxford address and was also placed into administration in July.
Kevin Boothby serves as director for both entities involved in greyhound racing operations.
Financial records revealed that Oxford Stadium carried creditor obligations totalling £2,005,715 as of the end of 2023.
The breakdown included £108,077 owed to trade creditors, £68,399 in taxation and social security commitments, £23,180 in accruals and deferred income, and £1,806,059 classified as other creditors.
The company’s most recent financial statements covering the year ending in 2024 remain outstanding and significantly overdue.
Government penalties for delayed submissions by private companies can reach £1,500 if documentation is not filed.
In May, representatives from the venue announced that new investment had secured the long-term prospects of the 3,000-capacity facility.
A statement published on the Oxford Stadium website described the organisation as entering a new chapter, with plans to restore the historic venue and establish it as a location for sport, entertainment, events and community activities.
Additional details were promised for future release.
The full circumstances surrounding the stadium’s situation remain unclear and representatives have been contacted for further information.
