I think Michael Long may have ridden the odd meeting around 1988 (a few years after Alan Mason). Not sure if he was in the assessed 1-7 though.

This is how I have the side in 'Confirmed Signings', does it look right, especially Mitch McDiarmid? ________________   Northampton Foxes:   1. Tobiasz Musielak 8.08 2. Nick Morris 5.67 3.

I think they have the finances, the issue is Buster doesn't want to tap into them and nobody else wants to take the club on as far as I'm aware. Given that's he's getting on a bit I can understand his thinking and yes he's got plenty wrong over the years , but I do think he truly loves the sport he know's Lynn will always get a hard core of 800-1,000 turn up and he doesn't want to see the top league collapse. The team this year on paper looked pretty decent, a proper number one and two of the three best UK youngsters at reserve, Kvech should have kicked on also but as ever it didn't happen. I think his plan will be run on a budget win 75-80% of home meeting and accept hammerings away from Lynn. I haven't been since early 90's as round trip is to long for me now especially on a week night but I do remember the track in the mid 80's early 90's being brilliant for racing even though especially mid 80's we got hammered most weeks, its a  shame even the track seems to have gone downhill since then from what regulars say.

So rumour on another thread is that Josh Pickering isn’t starting the season in the premiership so who does that leave as a number 1 for Lynn?    

What chance Richard Lawson at Belle Vue?

No Klindt at Northampton in 2027, could his play off final performance have forced his way into Lemon’s 2027 Aces line up?
