Before Birmingham and Oxford came into the Premiership, and while fears circulated that it could go down to 5 clubs, there were strong rumours (fuelled further by Phil Morris comments at the Coventry hearing) that Chris Louis could be interested in bringing a Premiership club to Northampton. As we are set to lose Birmingham and others are wobbling, could it be time to make Northampton a reality? One big league could never work. It would have to involve a sharing out of riders, but even if Belle Vue gave up one of Bewley/Kurtz, Ipswich gave up Doyle./Sayfutdinov, Sheffield gave up Holder/Holder, could the likes of Workington, Plymouth, or Berwick really afford Kurtz, Sayfutdinov or Holder? Of course not! So could Northampton be the Premiership saviour?

Steve will be on soon to tell us how wonderful a night it was and how great the racing was as usual.

Wasn't Shuvvy was it ? Probably not... He's worse than fickle imho 😆

Predictions? You always used to give pretty outthere ones in the Prem days.

I shouldn't let it worry you Gav. Good to see an Ipswich rider in attendance anyway

That is one awful awful track to watch speedway on Im guessing Poole fans are happy with Kerr again…. Never known a set of fans who go from wanting riders sacked to lauding them … fickle

Good to see Danyons back home keep up the good rehab

My escape route home will be Colchester Rd, Valley Rd, Norwich Rd...

First half good. Second half not so good. Track and racing even worse.

Demi has been a regular rider having laps after the meetings for a couple of years now at Foxhall

Damn and blast it, thought it was only one night, ie tonight only. So thanks for update.

Hey, all Diamonds fans. Have (just about all, unmarked) programme's going back to 2011 if anyone wants them before they go in the next recycling. PM me if wanted.

Watching the stream whilst on holiday in St Ives, Cornwall. Very impressed with Beth. Lots of confidence and asking the right questions. Well done.

Next years plan will definitely be known... (You would hope)... With the play offs pretty much sorted (dont think they count average wise do they?), it would be an opportune time to prep for next season for those clubs...

Belle Vue to get dicked Hopefully

This is all well and good at the moment but we know there are two 5-1s coming in ht13 and ht15

can remember lindback knocking rusty off 2 or 3 times going into 1st bend at derwent park

I don’t think one league would sit well with Chris. When you see how far he has brought the club from being on the verge of of selling to Buster to getting the backing & the right riders in to make it a success. For Emil & Jason who knows what is going on. Perhaps injures have finally caught up with Jason & Emil is having engine issues. Or maybe there is some average reduction going on. If it’s one league with only one rider above 8 permitted next year Emil on a sub 8 could be a master stroke.

Spot on and the Ipswich promotion have always worked hard to get the backing needed to track a competitive team and you never hear of a rider not getting paid. All the years that I have been going, you know that Chris and John have always put heart and soul into making the witches a success. Other promotions could learn a thing or two from them when it comes to running a club. One minor concern is if it goes one league and the product is watered down that will not sit well with Chris. Maybe Emil and Jason’s recent performances could be down to being told that next year they cannot be fitted in so why bother busting a gut. Who knows but whatever the Witches do they will always have good support because they manage to create the feel good factor.

never been any different

🤔 Drivers will be unable to travel westbound across the Orwell Bridge in Suffolk overnight due to closures. National Highways said it needed to shut a lane in the contraflow system, which is in place from 20:00 until 06:00 BST, on the nights of 16 and 17 July. The eastbound carriageway through the contraflow is to remain open.

Yeah, but how silly are the Poles going to feel as we move to a 4 day working week and Thursday is the new Friday... haha! Up Yours Poland! Oh, Hang On a minute... we don't have Thursdays actually do we!

The camera on the first bend really does show his bumpy it is going into that bend.

So bigger crowds on a Saturday and less to pay our for the "stars" hmm 🤔

Poole to get another hiding and Kerr to score naff all again!!
