Holder better get some vegemite for his Monster cap. Middlo doesnt go north of Watford anyway. Good luck to whoever promotes at Northampton hope it is a success.

Correct, & Middlo too if we being sensible.

I think the day we take any notice of what a Holder has to say is probably the day to pack it all in.

Chris still retains his love for the sport and is still hurt by entain but he isn’t out there doing the ground work to get wolves back either at monmore or elsewhere, I spoke with him in November about J11 on the M6 but that could be 10 years away, we contacted entain ourselves just before Xmas and also spoke with the manager at monmore and that is literally all that has happened in the last 6 months, I’m sure Chris would help any person/team that tried to get wolves back but doing it himself No, I’ve been helping heathens next generation for the past few months and they are relentless for some land and we have been to look at 4 pieces of land in the last 3 weeks alone and are still trying for the rocky lane site, I just wish someone was doing the same for wolves

Good

With the new season 3 weeks away I’d have thought there would be some kind of building work going on at Northampton by now .

Planning to do a weekend away this season (Friday/Saturday), and watch a Plymouth meeting... Wouldn't have bothered on a Tuesday/Wednesday...

No

Just tell them not to ride on the inside, they will be fine. 😅

Park’s submission suggests your conclusions are correct. Why would someone not personally involved in development, presumably having nothing to gain, want the stadium demolished? Park’s involvement was solely with the speedway promotion so the fate of the Abbey should be irrelevant unless…

Looks like a reasonable setup to me where there is a will there is a way and the foundations for a track are there not just a field.I'm sure more informed individuals will give a whole raft of issues and problems but IMO for s/way it looks a definite possibility.

What you can't see on those photos is that the grassed area on the inside of the bends is raised several feet from the track, has steel plate on the track side of it, and there is no longer an inner kerb so the shale goes right up to the plating.

Looks the same as most tracks in the UK. Get an air fence and you are ready to go

Doubling Up is cost effective for both leagues as they both can share the wages of the rider.. The top league certainly couldn't afford to pay third HL's and Second Strings what they earn collectively from their two jobs, given the GP riders will be high earners... And, if no doubling up, the second tier could only maybe afford one of these riders each in their teams, (rather than 3 which some have), resulting in them having to fill the bottom end of their teams with several NDL level riders... What started out as a laudable development tool has been allowed to become a farce.... Driven by the usual lack of any mid or long term plan to develop enough riders to compete (especially), in the 2nd tier...

I don't think anyone sees them as "saviours of speedway".. They are just another company coming into the sport... Hopefully, at Ipswich, they can ensure the season runs smoothly and crowds hold up for them... And at GP level, they just deliver the GP's... Those who have gone before haven't set the bar too high so anything "average" will suffice.... And, if they cannot deliver that, then, given the sports following, hardly anyone will notice anyway...

This what I was sent a few days ago.

Remember Virgin Cola

Good to hear Flagrag although I fear they may need the deep pockets, hopefully they have a credible long term plan and won't be off if the first season flops.

Although it is south of the Watford Gap, so he could make home meetings.

Now even Chris Holder is anti British speedway. 🤣 How negative of him!

It’s wrong league for Middlo. He only operates in the lower league these days.

What a "negative nancy" 😂

“Don’t feed the troll,” they cry — I’m starting to wonder, does that mean you need your nappy changed, or do you just enjoy soiling yourself in public? Some of the people on this thread seem allergic to facts — it’s as if they’re competing with my grandkids (who, for the record, haven’t even graduated kindergarten). Do they stick their fingers in their ears, shut their eyes, and scream whenever something inconvenient pops up? It’s honestly pitiful watching supposed grown adults act like toddlers, simply because easily verifiable and publicly available information doesn’t fit their fantasy that ‘Mayfield Sports Events’ — or whatever name they’re using this week — are somehow the saviours of speedway.
