The most telling thing to me is that in Poland , that would be a bog  standard toilet block so to speak. They must look at the state of speedway over here , the stadiums, tracks but most of all the organisation and pi*s themselves. 

Surely all toilets are ‘bog’ standard?🙂

The amount of moaning that five teams is not good enough, makes a mockery of the sport...a sixth team looks likely to appear and STILL moaning. 🤦‍♂️

Just my opinion on the sport.Couldn’t care less about who runs.I still go to watch speedway racing ,end off .Everything Rosey as usual🤔

They will be called the ‘Hamptons’, Harry’s influence, bit of cockney rhyme & slang.

That building is on the bend and quite a long way from the track. Would assume a ref's box would need to be overlooking the start line ?

Isn't there a refs box there already for the car racing?

Hard to understand why anyone would be anti a new venue being created per se, and i'm not seeing much or indeed any of that being expressed.

However, there is considerable concern and scepticism over the chances of it being ready on time, and successful and sustainable, with time constraints being one of the main concerns over effective local marketing and publicity.

These concerns and doubts can be expressed in humourous or serious ways, and are sometimes wrapped up within more general concerns about speedway in the Uk and the way it is being run. These are mostly perfectly valid concerns, made in good faith and with the underlying well-being of speedway in the UK at their heart.

Whether the above could be justifiably deemed "moaning" is rather irrelevant, especially as the definition of what constitutes "moaning" is likely to vary greatly. I'd liken it to "complaining", and there doesnt seem to anyone complaining that a new venue could be happening. But there are doubts and concerns being expressed, which for the most part seem to be perfectly valid

Why on earth would they do that until they’re actually sure they’re running? I’d imagine the advertising and promotion of Northampton Speedway would commence ONCE they’ve got the green light to run, not before!

Pretty bizarre gripe from you again which seems to happen a lot lately 🙄

Well it was a bit of sarcasm which clearly went over your head but hey ho

Good luck Northampton. We all wish you well. Period

Northampton could quite easily kick off on the late bank holiday Monday and have more than enough time to fit in 10 league fixtures and 1 KO Cup before the cut off. If a late start means we get the same amount of teams as some previous seasons, then I’m all for it.

It is a Forum,personally I think some of the comments regarding the BSPA are justifiably on what we have seen developing this closed season.
