Regarding Northampton's possible fan base, you may get some banger/stocks fans attending? Much of it will be down to the efforts by the promotion.

Thorsell has had offers from both Ipswich and Northampton, not sure if he’s agreed a deal with either though, but info was he wants to ride in UK in 2026

Ideally, they'd pick the other 4 PL clubs off one by one, cut the train wreck that are the other promoters adrift and go their own way with the future of Speedway while the other clubs continue to run themselves into the ground following their business as usual model.

Reds are reportedly using their lights in the new stadium so I was informed by someone well connected with the club. I believe Comets will be installing floodlights but nothing has happened to date. There are 7 weeks untill the first home meeting . The clocks go forward on 29th March. The reported sunset time on 4th April the date of our first home fixture is 7-52pm .

A reincarnation of Allied Promotions perhaps?

Another point which I suspect and I have been told it too is that it is mayfield putting the money up for this too aswell as Ipswich so what if they do lose their arse on Northampton Where does that leave Ipswich ?but then again if Northampton fails so too will the premier league

Well it’s a good job that they have been announced early and have been heavily promoted and already have advertising around the area so as the potential fans are aware that a new speedway team is coining to town and you can already get any club merchandise ready for their first meeting in 5 weeks time 🙄

Remember poor old Terry Chainey trying to make Milton Keynes work in the 80's

And the “unsinkable” Premiership decided they didn’t need their own …

Think we’re up to a couple of hundred attending now just need another 1000.🤔👍

This is all part of the Paramount proposed takeover of Warner Bros etc, hence the re-brand or renaming of various channels. They want to rival Netflix!!

Good question there might still be a few around - there is a good catchment area around Northampton near the M1 easy to get to near Northampton as well compared to the club I used to attend kings Lynn who has the sea one side of the town Northampton is central with a massive catchment area the only thing they don’t have is hard core loyal fans that attend come what may and that’s a massive miss .

The final signing will be…?

I know my stuff, right about Poole and Glasgow, Tottenham to be relagated, pigs seen flying, Starmer develops a knowledge of politics....

This side don’t bode well for honours. I can see changes are going to be needed very soon once a new set of average are released. Hope I’m proven wrong.

I get the impression he's a bit "neurologically different" as i think the correct expression is these days. I doubt he'd have achieved what he has, and rebounded from so many setbacks, and maybe be as sweary, if he wasnt built a bit that way

Anglia news tonight mentioned the club takeover and stated a full announcement will be given in 2 weeks

Do they still exist ?

Thats whats needed for the Witches in 2026 some new youngster who can ride a bike like the Cowboy in his prime how I miss all those brilliant american riders from back in the day.

They won't be that good I'm thinking Lynn Stars 1985.

Might get a few ex Milton Keynes fans as well

Cowboy Cook? He could maybe DU with the "Young Stars"...

Great signing developing and gives his all well done club and mr pipe

I thank you !!! Simon lambert it is. And Rob Godfrey was joking

I don’t hate him, I don’t like him but I respect what he has achieved and as much as I dislike him he would be the first name on the list if I was putting on a big individual meeting because he is a headline generator and gets people talking and is vastly underused by British speedway as a marketing tool, the less said about his music the better though
