About 12 days since it was announced, yippee we have a 6th track 😀 The season has officially started, proper fixtures start next week, but still no team members announced no team name, no names of who is running the club 😜 so I presume that because of these missing items no publicity can be done 🤔. Shambles

Can I ask who ultimately owns the stadium is the football or council ?

Only just read last weeks copy of the Speedway Star and he does s two page spread on Northampton... Mark Lemon is quoted as saying that they needed a sixth team for the "integrity and credibility" of the sport... I do hope when he used those words, he managed to do it with a straight face... Fair play if he did....

And a budget travel lodge room to carry out the post tombola interview

To be fair... Their efforts are similar to the other five from what I have heard or read...

At last!!!! Someone who can market an event.. Give Linda a bell and she if she wants to get involved... You'll need her official paper bag for the tombola tickets...

Don’t mention it, it’s not allowed on here

The silence is stunning.

In wetherspoons lunchtime then, 5 pints for a tenner.....

Maybe the financial side came into also, competing in the GPs requires a big budget , yes maybe he has some financial backing but weighing up where he might come in the rankings it did not make sense.

Oh my,someone DOES need to calm down, another one that accepts and makes excuses for mediocrity and poor practices and wonders why we are where we are and because you obviously need a little help the post I made was sarcasm

Race card:

Exactly.... The other night at the PCMT was probably the most Aces fans attendance that they will have all year, except for the play offs... No "first night back" feel about the meeting at all, no promotion of their first actual team meeting either... They do a 50/50 draw that got the winner 400+ quid... I would have raffled off a season ticket... I reckon most Aces fans there in the crowd (1300?) would have spent a fiver... Then do another at the first couple of actual meetings... Or do something like a £500 holiday voucher.. Something is needed on the nights to engage the crowd, with the racing just being part of it... And, do it right, and you can make a fair few quid...

And they were correct. At the time of your whinging that no promoting was going on, no deal was struck! So you were whinging for the sake of it. You’re like an old bloody woman with your constant bleating! Ok, now a deal has been done questions can be asked, but if you take the time to read the press release in the Speedway Star, it’s quite obviously a huge rush job to get everything up and running in time for tapes up. There’s an awful lot to do, and very little time to do it but things ARE going on in the background. You were exactly the same on the Ipswich stuff. Demanding updates and answers on a regular basis, until Richard Coleman explained fully why those updates weren’t forthcoming much to his own frustrations. I bet you were one of those kids that hunted around the house for Christmas presents because you couldn’t wait until the big day to see what you’d actually got 🙄 Calm down ffs.

It shouldn't (unless they go bust) tho maybe give speedway a greater say in stadium affairs. The footy club's dismal performances since they dropped down the pyramid certainly give the impression of iffy administration.

I see in the press today Berwick Rangers are pleading for investment will this have any impact on the speedway

Bet the people of Northampton are sick to death of all this advertising of a new sport coming to their town but as it was pointed out to me on here a couple of weeks back no point in advertising it until the deal is done to run speedway 🙄

Yes he thinks the sun shines out of the pallets

exactly, youd think the marketing efforts would be in full flow by now.

Their first home fixture is four weeks away.

Spent all the marketing budget buying into Northampton. Is it any wonder no one has heard anything given the numpties who have bought in are the same as those who have historically failed to run speedway in any way shape or form where it could be described as professional run sport. The only saving grace regarding Northampton is that it has kept the forum going but for which what else could have been debated. Oh well I am sure the numpties have it all under control.

Really I didn't realise Ouch had a pro Belle Vue bias!!!!

Like starting your meeting at the advertised time ⏲️

Linda Lusardi does her weekly shop on that day.
