Thinking about this, surely Foord was withholding services which would mean Kent could have a guest.

Northampton and wider Northamptonshire like Kettering,Corby,Wellingborough have huge Eastern European populations so the hope may be to have a couple of Polish riders in the home team will encourage them to travel 

Or maybe the 'Play Off' System has had it's day. Perhaps people are realising that when you win the League, and your reward is sod all - it's not worth the candle. Back in the 60's, 70's etc. The League Champions won the League, and didn't have to win it twice. While I am on, why not get rid of the Grand Prix Series too. How exactly does that benefit British Speedway As far as I can see, it is a hindrance, For example, last night both Dan Bewley and Brady Kurtz had a potential World Championship to win or to get a medal. Why would they put themselves at risk of serious injury just TWO days before an Event like this, I for one, do not blame them at all, especially on a Track in the dreadful state that Foxhall was in last night? Go back to the World Final -  one Meeting. It was good enough for Mauger, Peter Collins Olsen, Petersen etc. It would reduce the costs for riders. It would also bring back the thrill of everything depending on one race.

Northampton best chance would be to run Sunday afternoons in the national league, allowing people to travel.

A "cheat code" at reserve for the play offs... I still rank him in the top five GB riders when fully fit...

And Bankrupt more Clubs🤔and most of the diehards are dying off. I for one would like to see the Accounts of Gp Clubs,can’t imagine what they would look like. There’s next season’s restructuring to look forward too  though.🧑🏼‍🦯🤔
