What about Northampton?


Recommended Posts

We must surely be approaching the point where they say it's too late to get this done. This waiting isn't fair on the riders, it's not fair on the other clubs who have declared they're running but can't get properly organised, and most importantly it's not fair to the supporters who can't be blamed if they decide that after the farce of this winter it's finally the time to walk away from the sport.

I hope Northampton do start. The circumstances in which it happens isn't ideal but it would still be exciting to see a new track enter, and wouldn't it be great if we were all here in 7-8 months time looking back at a successful first season.

But you can't keep everyone waiting around forever, there has to be a deadline.

It’s not unfair on the clubs surely, it’s in their interest for them to run (presumably) hence why they are giving it as long as possible for it to come to fruition. If you’re a rider waiting on a new project, surely they would know of any risks or asking ew Northampton questions behind the scenes. As for fans, if they don’t run you haven’t lost anything. It’s the thousands of new Northampton supporters who I feel sorry for. 😉

So what make you think it's going to be called Northampton?
