Personally I think the only chance Northampton would have of making a proper go of it is if the Save Coventry Crew (speedway side not stocks) were prepared to consider that if they ever gave up on Brandon Edited September 12 by noaksey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noaksey Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 Yes agreed, I meant more backing the project rather than running it per se. I wouldn't try and open Northampton whilst Brandon is still up in the air A large proportion of expected fans would surely come from Coventry way? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Sunday would be an option with stock cars and bangers running regular Sunday meetings throughout the year. As they also run some Saturday nights on other weekends, there wouldn't be enough time to prep the track for those Sundays either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crump99 Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 7 hours ago, flagrag said: Northampton and wider Northamptonshire like Kettering,Corby,Wellingborough have huge Eastern European populations so the hope may be to have a couple of Polish riders in the home team will encourage them to travel Peterborough has a large Polish population and Mick Bratley went to the city Polish club and gave away free tickets for Panthers at the Showground. He reported that one person took up the offer, so good luck with that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who ever takes it on is taking a massive risk, I'm all for new tracks but this is going to be very difficult to get a regular fan base crowd. Its not that close to Northampton.

Its not that close to Northampton. Its not that far away either, ten minutes from the town centre. What might well prove difficult is getting Coventry or P'boro speedway fans there regularly as its an hour to both cities. I wish whoever takes it on the very best and hope it succeeds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluPanther Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago I can't see Northampton in the Prem being anything other than a financial disaster. Makes a lot more sense to be in the Championship... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New owners maybe. But rules say two years before they can directly promote. So the question is who would the promoters be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
