Northampton "Nicks"?

"The Premiership with five teams is a joke..." Northampton rumoured to be joining. "No point doing that, it will never work." Northampton likely to be announced shortly to boost both the Premiership and British speedway. "What's the point? Won't have a fanbase and will be gone by the end of the third year."   Honestly, the negativity on here is unbelievable. You either want British speedway to expand and do well or you don't. And if not, it begs the question why?! The fact we have a new team running should be cause for positivity and support, not derision and ridicule from quite a few on this forum. Joke.

Has anyone else crunched the numbers? How is this team under the limit?

Fair point re King and a weaker league this coming season, who ever swaps in and out of number six over the season Ippo should have the strongest rider in that position all season long assuming Northampton haven't gone for a similar strength in depth line up and have managed to get Anders Thompson reduced down to four points.

Could it be Northampton Bees.

Just a quick thought. Could Northampton be a temporary base with view of trying  to move back to Coventry (Brandon). Not first time that a sporting club have moved to Northampton. Coventry City Football team move to Northampton a few seasons ago.
