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?

It’s the celebration of speedway this Sunday, maybe some news then? Nah of course I am joking.

Should the Directors of BSP Ltd (apart from Lemon and Lyon) resign?

If there were enough shareholders, there'd be open revolt going on by now, an EGM would have been called and they'd have been kicked out.

Stewart Dickson apparently called for an EGM back in something like June last year because he could see problems looming up, but apparently his calls were ignored.

Since then C.Louis has of course walked away but others remain in position

Whilst a new club will be welcome the constant procrastination with both Ipswich and Northampton sets a dangerous precedent for seasons to come. Historically the AGM declaration to run has been the cut off point with the odd exception allowed until the fixtures are compiled then that's it. Landlord/Tennant disputes/agreements have been the usual cause.

This is an unprecedented shot in the foot head!

I’d add lemon to the list.  They couldn’t organise a village fete successfully. Absolute shambles. 
instead of aspiring to the professional levels of Poole Glasgow Ipswich Leicester and Redcar we dumb down to the likes of Godfrey and Chapman who just threaten to pack up if they don’t get their own way.

The Lemon who sent an email out advertising the sale of GP tickets on the 27th of March instead of 27th of February? 😮

A bit harsh....

He was only one month out....

Not a bad effort really when it comes to the history of Speedway promoting in the UK.....

Good question, should they? Probably.. it’s a boys club as we all know. The same on point messaging/club statements, albeit now with a few closer to home dissenting voices.
