They’d have run in to the same problems we did at Ipswich. Speaking to the new promotion last week, they contacted several GP riders and all “politely declined” as they already had their season mapped out. A few of them WERE open to riding here in ‘27 though so more options likely on the table for both Ipswich and Northampton next year.

Fancy Zagar to be in there along with Lidsey and Klindt. We’ll see.

Hopefully it returns as we get stuck in to the season. We all love our Speedway despite the noise and the habit is difficult to shake off at least for the majority of us. Stick with it Iain we DO have a positive in that we’ve got a brand new track up and running, and let’s hope this time next year we have another one or two joining the party and things look a lot healthier.

Premiership season kicks orf tomorrow and nobody has started a thread 😂 when was the last time that happened in years gone by? Been a winter of turmoil and it’s obviously (understandably) affected people’s enthusiasm. Anyway, fancy an away win here. Belle Vue are always a strong home side but have a tendency to start the season slowly and Sheffield have a better side.

And they’re already working on the team for ‘27, almost certainly will be a big hitter at 1..

Rule one broken already. In all the years Louis has been promoting, no rider has ever missed press and practice and he would never allow it. Same kevlars as last year also, so cost cutting has already commenced where the returning riders recycle their kevlars from last year.

“Companies House must be updated within 14 days for changes to directors or people with significant control (PSCs)” https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02362212/officers Almost a month on, and Chris Louis is still registered as an active director, and the person with significant control. Richard Coleman and Andrew Chisholm, nowhere to be seen. Whats going on there?

Agree. He definitely has the ambition to be mixing it with the worlds best in the GP’S and I know from talking to Ritchie last year that he feels he’ll make it. Having the extra pressure and responsibility of being THE main man at the top of the team instead of having the comfort blanket of Emil and Doyle doing the heavy lifting, may well help pull him along even quicker. Hopefully he thrives on the extra responsibility.

We can dine on last year for 12 months no problem. We’ll defend our title properly in ‘27 when we have the same opportunity as everyone else to build our team 😁

The jubilant scenes from the 5k+ that attended the final, coupled with the celebrations from management, riders and staff, definitely proves it was worth winning 😉

That’s the Premiership Champions to you if you don’t mind 😁

It’s a shame there’s no longer a shuttle bus operating. Used to get on at the old cattle market in town centre, take you straight to Foxhall, then come and pick you up after the meeting and take you back to town. Pretty cheap return tickets too if I remember rightly.

Think Riss is in there somewhere too. Or he WAS a few weeks back.

Seemingly no ill effects from his double leg break. Good first meeting back.

Looking forward to this. Will be good after the crap winter to watch some Speedway again. Fingers crossed for decent weather and a good turnout.

This is my favourite 👍🏻

One of the nicest fellas you could ever wish to meet. Have met him a few times out and about Town and he’s always got time to stop and chat about the Speedway, football, or anything else! BUT, I do agree with you when it comes to presenting unfortunately. The sign of a good presenter is the skill to make the most boring meetings sound exciting. Foz doesn’t do that and always sounds like he’s just woken up.
