Not sure what effort is in 3 broken links that lead nowhere!

Based on this, I'm not holding out a lot of hope!

Good to see some new riders coming through. I hear Cairnds is quite useful too.

There's no such licenced rider called "Bewdley"

Credit to Belle Vue. A couple of last minute drop-outs due to injury and personal problems, but they've replaced them with decent quality Premiership riders, and not just stuck the reserves in.

Next Sunday? Before the season starts the following week

Great News. Obviously the war is a long way from being won, but it's a battle won. Who is this Stev Park D***head? What is his agenda? If he was on the supposed save Swindon bandwagon with Terry Russell, why has he suddenly swapped sides?

Good luck to all at Swindon. Planning meeting just started (6pm) but Blunsdon is item 8 on the agenda, so a while to wait

I saw him at Scunny at weekend. I tried to take a photo, but my phone was stuck on zoom and I only got his arm

Going twos up on Agnetha does have a bit more appeal than with Charles Wright.

He didn't mention police. If there had been CCTV to alert everyone on night one of the vandalism, it might have been possible to have some dubious lads with iron bars on standby for day 2 to avoid a repeat. I know of 2 tracks in the past where this has been an effective solution.

Who says they haven't?

I would imagine most stadium leases would be a full repairing and insuring lease. If the damage was done over 2 nights, it's a shame no one knew after the first night.

Obviously, there have been problems to overcome, and it's taken longer than hoped for to bring Northampton online. But yesterday we got the news that Northampton are running. Today we got their fixture list. And in the coming days we'll know the promoter, team manager and the riders. We have positive news coming out, and still people are moaning? Unbelievable.

Track looks a bit long and tight, so might need some gating tarts, but wait until Bartosz signs up and lets loose on there! Facilities look decent. OK, the grandstand isn't covered, but it looks good.

Mikkel Bech Jensen?

Matt Ford spoke at the Coventry Stadium appeal. Brandon Estates brought in the odious Clarke Osborne to say that Speedway was dead and no one would want to promote speedway at Brandon if it was restored to former glories. Matt Ford spoke in opposition to say he ran a successful promotion at Poole, he knows Coventry is viable, and he would be interested in promoting Coventry. Whether his remit was just to testify that speedway is viable, and Coventry would be viable, or whether he is actually seriously interested in Coventry, probably only he knows. However he's not involved in Northampton.

Woffinden has enough money, but he also has a family, and he's not going to take any risk pouring his hard-earned into speedway when he has no business experience promoting speedway.

We need the new owner to throw a few dollars at Bartosz, get him over here... I'll go for: Jaimon Lidsey 7.87 Niels Kristian Iversen 6.71 Charles Wright 6.11 Rohan Tungate 5.89 Lewis Kerr 5.36 Foreign newbie 4.50 Jake Mulford R/S 36.44

They could bring him along to the Northampton Speedway grand opening to meet his speedway Bartosz namesake... I reckon a 7 May opening night, and plenty of time to fit 10 home league matches in. If it all happens, I'll be aiming to be at opening night as long as I haven't got any other commitment.

Agree totally. The sport faced a tough winter, and to come out of it with a 6-team league (as we've had in the past) is something of a miracle. Let's hope we can add Coventry and others for 2027 and really start moving forward. I'm hearing TV deals and corporate sponsor deals are making progress. Maybe if we had a bit more positivity from "fans" getting out there and spreading the message, who knows? Hopefully we'll see fixtures at weekend. Then we just need the news that Northampton have signed Bartosz...

PHB would be interesting, but isn't he banned for a month of the summer? He was also pretty expensive the last time he contacted a British club asking for a berth, and I'm not sure his style would suit British tracks, but he'd be entertaining.
