TBH Northampton have saved the Prem League. Last season the top 4 competed for best placing, King's Lynn were trying to get into the play offs, Birmingham & Oxford were battling each other to avoid the wooden spoon. With just 5 teams, the play off teams will likely soon be obvious, the 5th would've soon been dropped off & have nothing to ride for.....

Wembley, 1929.

Who says they haven't?

But a dreadful speedway presenter. fantastic news that the club is coming to the tapes this season. i wish them all the best. I hope I can make a visit sometime this season.

So we’re going by photos on the track’s suitability then? Perhaps best to let some riders do a few laps and let them make the call.

Not by choice if my reading between the lines is accurate.

Whilst I’m appalled by this vandalism, this go fund request doesn’t sit well with me. This is why we take out insurance on things we own. Clubs take advantage of supporters enthusiasm and their voluntary efforts throughout every season, which is why I think the club is pushing their luck in this situation.

Plenty of pictures online Just about 400 metres with long straights and tight turns to my eye Reasonable although not significant banking

So the track surface is shale, great start then! How about the track’s shape, banking etc when it comes to speedway racing? The Leicester track continues to be slaughtered to this day because of its shape. Northampton have a track (to be applauded) but with all the work that has supposedly been carried out, how much attention has been paid to providing a racing spectacle? We’ll soon find out I suppose.

Slow and gradual reveal always builds the interest level

Apparently they are putting a fence around the big grassed area on the RH side before the track. The clowncill have £4.5 million to waste to make the land ready for possible future developments. They have already taken down the old oil tanks just after the railway bridge and levelled the land. Hopefully a fence will be put up along the speedway perimeter

That’s a damn good start

Abi Stephens has left the coverage

Nicely done 😂👍🏻

Phillip Hellstrom-Bans

Phillip Hellstrom-Bangs-to-rights.

Will have to close down because of noise levels

Perhaps the first night they didn’t make much noise

Oh great!

The rider himself in this weeks Star says he’ll miss two or three Ipswich meetings due to the ban.

So ... according to the FIM, Hellstrom-Bangs' ban applies to Sweden: https://fimspeedway.com/news/hellstrom-bangs-swedish-league-ban-halved

Is there any confirmation yet if TNT Sports (Discovery+ / HBO Max) are showing the Grand Prixs again this season?

Not sure what if any impact on Workington but development of Land at Oldside (land adjacent to the stadium ?)
