All Activity

Yes there is more yellow this year. Tom came yesterday to practice and have his pictures done as he couldn't get a flight out to Poland for after this morning photo's. Richard was at photo shoot but not practice as had to go to work.

I don't know the bloke and even haven't spoken to Vinnie about him but agree.

Would have been good if they could have done some donuts or sliding a bit on the very wet hoe 🤔

See message on your own page that I've just posted 😁

But in life you only get fined if your naughty and break the rules 🤔. If he got some large fines he must have broken some rules big style 😁

Let's be honest... The track record of those involved isn't "great" when it comes to promotion of the sport they run... However, given it seems to be a "collective thing", then, maybe, they will go " all in" and promote the s**t out of Northampton... Let's hope so...

What do you reckon about the Straits of Hormuz? Should reallly be all OK and clear for me.... The pilots of the oil tankers, some of the largest and slowest ships on the planet, full of hundreds and thousands of gallons of one of the most flammable liquids known to man... Just need to be a bit braver and "feel" their way through the mines, whilst avoiding the shelling from the Iranian coast... Glass completely full, me...

I’ve heard they’re laying on a tandem. 😉😊

Are you saying that his explanation of events is wrong then?

I wonder if all the track work that has been done/still needs doing is enough to get the required FIM/SCB track licence?!

... or even better... a couple of Thursday nights before 😉

Yep, it'll happen, as long as everyone's positive.Just believe it'll be GREAT, double down on doubters, and it will be.

Looks like he will have his work cut out catching the Aprilia’s this season. Big weekend for him as he is the king of COTA.

Co-inciding with Speedway Star's unmissable Season Preview issue, which will offer details of ALL the tracks and teams...... Worry-ye-not, folks. It's happening!

There is a BIG team announcement coming from Northampton next week 👍🏻

I guess what it means is that some of the serious stuff hasn't yet been sorted They are certainly taking their time i can understand the team not being announced until it's complete though

Best News I've heard since it was reported that Spurs are in talks with a possible new manager called Adolf!!!! You couldn't make it up....

I'm from Northampton but my expectations are low. As long as they get the bikes in front of a crowd at both Franklin's Gardens and Sixfields, and have something in the Market Square a couple of Saturdays before, they should be alright. There's something to be said for THIS IS HAPPENING VERY SOON! rather than THIS IS HAPPENING WEEKS AWAY, PLEASE MAINTAIN YOUR EXCITEMENT! However, people often make choices about where to spend their money in advance. I'm just happy to have a local track again.

Big launch on Talk Sport... 'Arry being interviewed for half an hour by Hawksbee and Jacobs... Every morning on the Sports Breakfast they read out last nights results... BetVictor the main sponsor of the Premiership with a £500k sponsorship.... Every meeting BetVictor do "specials" so fans can have a bet, with one of their comms team going on Talk Sport each afternoon of a meeting, covering the bet builders available and the oversl odds.. Channel Five showing live Premiership Speedway, and an hours worth of magazine programme each week... Sorted.. Making Speedway Great Again...

Disappointing no Brennan I agree. But they are all new suits for all riders just very similar design. You can tell by the 75 years anniversary logo on left chest on all not just the new guys. You can see it clearly on one of the pics of king. Mayfield wording also on arms.

They would do a Rune Holta and take out a polish licence

Agreed 99.9% on here want this to be a resounding success that means the club can carry on for many years, the worry as the same 99.9% have said is it seems to be the standard speedway operating model of lets just open the gates on opening night and they will turn up. This semi works at existing tracks as the wealthier owners can underwrite the losses but its been a very slow death by a thousand cuts for the last 40 years, people on here desperately want it to succeed the concerns are it seems the owners are following the current operating model that we all know doesn't work unless you can cover losses elsewhere Poole and Ipswich excepted.

Rule one broken already. In all the years Louis has been promoting, no rider has ever missed press and practice and he would never allow it. Same kevlars as last year also, so cost cutting has already commenced where the returning riders recycle their kevlars from last year.

I agree don’t think there is many “ panic merchants “ .Its seems a strange way to start a new venture.Maybe they know there are thousands of fans just waiting for the nod to turn up on the night.🤔🤞
