Oh. Ipswich and Northampton to be this years Birmingham and Oxford then 🤦🏼‍♂️

Unfortunalety there is very few teams for the whole season so lots of time off apart from practise session what is not as good as racing . Second halfs are good and my lad has always been suported by all the clubs but 3 races in 15-20 mins is hard to make changes to set ups

You’d put a glass eye to sleep.

Just reading this thread . How is this laughable . My family are not a rich family myself partner and son all work and pay for his riding what cost a lot . At times it really hard to get time of work especially for rearnaged meetings when we have took leave for the first meeting thats been cancelled .i would guess this is the same for most parents or hopfull riders. If the sport was perfect then NDL and NJL would take place over a weekend of bank holidays to allow familys to earn and pay. As they say its ment to be a devepoment league

Pathetic isn’t it. Those giving it back are just as bad, ignore it and it’ll soon get bored. 99% of people come on here to talk speedway and have a debate. If it bothers them that much then dm instead of airing it all clogging feeds up.

Mayfield have already cut the GP prize money so much that 5th this year is worth less than 13th was last year....

In order what would be everyone's preference be when it comes to a No.1 between Kurtz, Lambert, Lindgren and Woffinden? Mine would be 1. Lindgren, 2. Lambert, 3. Woffinden and 4. Kurtz. Around Foxhall, I think Lindgren would be the most consistent and Kurtz would be the most inconsistent.

Lambert/Woffinden/Becker/Rew will not start the season in the UK.

Ooops yea I forgot that Oxford team!

its past your bedtime

This is why the NJL needs to keep going giving local riders the chance to race in a team

For Kings Lynn ndl league only yet

No time for sentimentality either. Things change and the world is changing at a rapid pace generally. Time to move on.

So you think it’s funny do you, parents spending £1000/s of pounds from when there kids are 8/9 years of age to maybe make a good fist of it around the age of 15, and a slim chance of getting a team spot, then after maybe 6/7/8 years of those parents losing money travelling everywhere to say a NJL fixture and the club says sorry curfew is happened or something else not tonight guys, and you still stick at it and then you get overlooked by clubs who bring in riders who just fancy coming over here and trying their luck and who as you say will turn up?(bit difficult not when you are 12,000 miles from home) ahead of you it’s no surprise when the cupboard is increasingly empty. I’m telling you that not one parent of the youth section believes that they are entitled to anything, what they want is a fair crack at it for the countless hours they have done keeping their kids racing when the easiest thing was to pack up, and without doubt attitudes like yours more parents will gradually do the latter.

It's looking more positive that this could actually happen and speedway/ stocks return to brandon , well done to all involved that have kept the faith.

And these riders, in the PL, literally don't put a single bum on a seat, they just make the numbers up, which is no bad thing, but there's a long queue of riders behind them that would happily take their place... the tail is well and truly wagging the dog.

With all due respect, whoever buys the club should be seeing it as a business venture with a view to making (hopefully not losing) money. Nostalgia does not unfortunately feature highly in the business world…….Unless of course the buyers are seeking to satisfy an ego like most club owners. In which case, it cannot be considered a business venture.

Cya later Charley. Basically hes saying I love doubling up because Im making plenty of money . Such an inspiring thing to say. Imagine being a young rider reading that statement.

The one thing they have going for them is that Ippo and probably Poole are the two best supported clubs in the UK so the fanbase is there to start with, so long as someone doesn't go crazy on the budget and the team isn't dire you should stand a chance of hopefully making a small profit.

Has Simon lambert been announced yet?

Should make the play offs at least.

Better call Harry sharpish maybe he can get Sam Fox in for opening night and see if Skybet can come up with a seven figure deal for the league.

Brady will be at Belle Vue

It's a stir the pot theory. It wouldn't cause havoc across the League as it only means that Belle Vue will have to use Lidsey instead of Kurtz. Higher Ups have to do everything to make Northampton as competitive as possible after the money it's cost to get them up and running. No logic in leaving them looking like the 2025 Oxford Spires as Northampton will need a big name rider to entice fans to turn up. One has Brady Kurtz and the other has Tai Woffinden and all 6 Clubs have One Rider on a 8.00 GSA.
