First trip to Northampton last night and it is an impressive venue with great facilities, helped by the fact it was a beautiful night. The track is poor right now and I would say it is definitely one of the poorer meetings I’ve seen all season but hopefully they can work on the shape and surface during the off season. As someone who only really ever goes to Championship meetings I did find the atmosphere completely different and frankly disappointing, I can understand it to a certain degree from the Northampton perspective as they are trying to build up a fanbase, I was surprised that given there was so many Belle Vue fans and that they won the meeting they didn’t seem to react to anything all night, no cheers, no big reactions when they got a 5-1 or anything like that. It felt the total opposite to the Championship on that front for sure. It would be good to see the Foxes pick up a few more wins and build a winning team next season, British speedway needs it and the setup is arguably the best in the league apart from Belle Vue. The barman was also very good especially given how busy it was.

Answer:- nobody wants to ride with Batchelor in the team

What a mess

You can’t get better than a WHITELINEHUGGER.

Stewart certainly knows way more than me. I just hope we get Tofts best effort. I will be delighted if he proves me wrong. 

Not the first time a rider has failed to make an appearance at Edinburgh but he actually did ok around Plymouth .
