Best "realistic" team I can come up with if it's a 36 limit with Fricke Max Fricke - 9.89 Jan Kvech - 6.91 Chris Harris - 6.53 Adam Bedna - 5.00 Jonas Jeppesen - 4.34 Francis Gusts - 3.00 Luke Harrison - RS Total - 35.67

Agreed.... Those "magical nights" I grew up with at Hyde Rd, with thousands in attendance, (often including 100's of away fans), simply wouldn't have happened the same if they had ran on Mondays or Thursdays... The honourable exception being the KO Cup Final v Reading on a Wednesday night where over 20000 were in attendsnce... Amazing to think that UK competitions could actually get those types of crowds in those days..

Accounts for 2024 suggest BSPL made a loss of around £100k. 

Northampton Saints with Travis Perkins as Team sponsor to tie in with Rugby union team was the latest that I  had heard.I believe there is some people who are involved in both sports that are part of this new venture. Them work progressing through the summer to move to Northampton later in year or 2027

i think the guys that that wanted to bring speedway to Northampton didnt realise the cost it would take so they next best option is to invest in oxford and keep the prem team going, whether they change name i dont know or just keep the oxford spiers going

Premier League teams are allowed to lose £105 million over a 3 year period and most of them often do, usually they need to sell at least 1 of their best/young players to bring them within that figure, Aston Villa are a classic example, they have HAD to sell Douglas Luiz and Jacob Ramsey in recent seasons to remain under that figure.   The difference is that football has massive annual Tv income, whereas Speedway has relative peanuts.
