Other reports from the Leicester p&p were that Dan hurt his arm when hitting the 3rd/4th bend safety fence.

Barker, Brennan (who flew in from Poland and flies back out today) and Thompson spoke very passionately in interviews on BSN about the Ben Fund and what it means to them as riders regardless of the fact they will be insured.

Premiership season kicks orf tomorrow and nobody has started a thread 😂 when was the last time that happened in years gone by? Been a winter of turmoil and it’s obviously (understandably) affected people’s enthusiasm. Anyway, fancy an away win here. Belle Vue are always a strong home side but have a tendency to start the season slowly and Sheffield have a better side.

Pitty Charles was injured but the guest was top notch, redcar will be hard to beat around their home track, can only see them getting better

Do not miss ! should be a cracker !

I accept the good words from the new Ipswich promoters and the hopes for Northampton and the sport in general. However, whilst there is clearly a monopoly or cartel (However you wish to describe it) on equipment such as Tyres and other equipment. How on earth do these people think they are going to attract new competitors into this sport. Deluded I'm afraid!

Leicester used to be called the "Hunters",as per fox hunters.

Dan had a fall at Leicester’s press&practice and was limping in the pits after it Nick also came off but he still managed a few laps at Berwick on Friday

Cold night in Glasgow but some superb speedway on show , well done all !

I'm not sure I understand all this stressing about the name. People are talking as if Foxes is synonymous with Leicester. If that is the case then why are the Speedway team called the Lions, and the Rugby team called the Tigers ?

I dare say The Northampton "Hamptons" was considered but Foxes does make for an easier race jacket and merchandise design!

To maybe attract a younger audience the thunderous "Northampton Nitros" could have worked or Northampton Thunder makes you wonder

Some god racing tonight , well done to all the riders Glasgow have a real star in pedersen

You may be right but high risk insurance is incredibly expensive. A neighbour of mine who does rallying doesn’t insure his car because it’s around 40k for a two day event.

Enjoyed that... Kurtz with Zmarzlik like straight line speed... Top riders riding so close together.... And around a tenner to get in too.... Polish Speedway...

How do you know the Big Guns would be straight on the blower for a handout ? I'd hazard a guess most of them have insurance to cover injuries etc.

Isn't Saints the name of the rugby team? If you wanted a link with the Rugby supporters they could have been called after their most famous player!! Northampton Pollocks. Joking aside I thought something like Knights would have worked. Isn't their some links to Royalty in the area? I mean they couldn't have been called the Princesses.

Falcons. Historical link to Falconry

Just got the final wrong too.

The line-up matters very very much. These "Big Guns" need to be less selfish with their time for a great cause that is there for them. If anything happens, they'd be quick sharp on the blower for a hand out. All monies don't stretch very far in 2026 so an afternoon of their time wouldn't go a miss.

Well I would imagine his last average was probably a bit higher than Gilkes and probably wouldnt get enough reduction for him to fit.

Time to replace the announcer. My programme looks like I’ve got Parkinson’s every time I visit Ashfield from correcting his mistakes, but tonight has been remarkably bad. Great event and cause, but you literally cannot trust a word he’s saying.

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?
