Workington going to struggle with that team, Howarth good guest, no surprise Cook unavailable! 

When Cooper gets his proper average, who would be a better reserve? Bowes, Gilkes or Newman?

Hurry said on Radio Suffolk that Jordan Jenkins is guesting  

I did... must have had dust in my eyes 😂

Did you miss the exit in the middle of bends 1 & 2 (at the back fence) which had a security person on it, this led into the pits car park and the main car park at the rear, this was opened at the end of the meeting, we got straight out after leaving at the end of heat 15.

Sounds like a big success all round... One promoter once told me that crowds usually settle to around a quarter and a third of opening night, however that was for tracks that had "come back" so already had a following until they closed.. Not many will remember Brafield I would think, so it is more like starting from scratch in this venture so it will be interesting to see how crowd levels move... Last nights crowd would have seen plenty of "generic" fans so, hopefully, those attending from the local area will spread the word, and the consortium also have a strong promotion package in place to build on last nights positive occasion... Were any discount vouchers given out last night?.. The next five meetings for, say, twenty pound a throw could help get people used to attending and build some emotional attachment to "their team".. In such a short time, the consortium have certainly done a fantastic job in getting the place open... Let's hope healthy crowds are the norm, and the "novelty factor" remains through the season as more and more people from Northampton, and sponsors, gradually latch on to their new sport, and team...
