Can’t believe no one has made a thread on the match so here’s my tilt… On a very cold night the two clubs popularly tipped to finish bottom of the league fought it out but it wasn’t much of a fight , more like Bears v Pickering ! On this performance Bears will be ok with Klindt making an instant impact and the rest of the Bears getting solid score throughout and it could have been more without a mechanical issue for Jenkins. Scunthorpe , Pickering apart , were woeful, hard to believe two of them practised at Redcar the previous week. Expected more from MPT , Lambert and Mountain very disappointing but Pickering was exceptional after his first ride. Scorpions might do well at home but away ? Bears we’re rock solid but was very impressed how the two reserves rode, Pijper and Scott, both battling with riders far more experienced than they. Good that Wright was also in attendance. Pity about the electrical fault, not sure the meeting should have continued without the red lights working but they got away with no incidents although the delay did lose a few fans on a freezing evening . Despite the one sided score there was some good racing on a decent track with dirt on the outside and slick on the inside but glad we don’t have flag starts every week.

If its only a rumour why worry😅

I wonder how much of a percentage discount he would get?
-
And they’re already working on the team for ‘27, almost certainly will be a big hitter at 1..

He indeed spoke very well, and was very professional, you can see that he is a level up from everyone else within the speedway community, very open about how people within speedway are only interested in what is good for themselves and not what’s right for the sport, I liked the change regarding FIM points system next year and his input into that! I was impressed with most of what he had to say, even touching on Grand Prix in GB vs in Europe and the amount of issues this country causes in terms of costs and putting on events.

Have you blocked yourself 🚫 😂 -
Well, they've done such a great job of collectively running the sport 😁
-
Yep, could have gone with Racers especially with the home of British Motor Racing within the county (Silverstone)
-
Love Kyle Newman back even if only for a short time.

You would have thought the Leicester owner may have said no fellow consortium members this is not a great thing to call Northampton The Foxes . It should have been The Saints or Dons if you want my opinion the other suggestion was Racers which again would have been better
-
NO, NO, NO!!!!!. 🤬🤬 THAT WOULD BE VERY WRONG. 😵😵

I can still see it and yes, track looks very wet. -
I feel your pain mate, at least they are trying to fix it. Shame really but if this is the only teething problem they have and it gets fixed that's no bad thing.
-
It wouldn’t surprise me if Dan Gilkes is still troubled by last seasons injury. Not sure about averages but perhaps Kyle Newman could offer short term cover.

Thankfully it is only currently a 6 point deduction

Where did my comment about the weather go? What's the point in this forum if every comment disappears? -
He attended the morning photo shoot but wasn’t available for the practice or meet the riders event in the evening

If a 'consortium' of different people are running it, does that qualify as a clusterf#ck?
