Could have been passing through along the M1 and thought let’s go and have a look at the Stadium and stir a few people up it’s a photo that’s all . And it could be AI

It’s possible, but hopefully it’s a sign that all is good and an announcement is imminent.

Maybe they're the mystery promoters 😁

When are Ipswich announcing their “great new GP Number 1” Flagrag?

Mayfield seriously need to up their sausage roll game before anyone will take them seriously!!

The GP Number 1 has I believe fallen through due to the continued delays and not being offered what they originally thought was being given.

I obviously want Mayfield to make a great success of Ipswich just hope that they up their organisational skills.

Getting the thread back on track Chris Holder lives only 20 mins away from the Northampton track so they were probably just passing by and thought they would go and have a look . The info I am hearing is that construction wise plans are in place and the work required to build the Speedway facilities is being done by a construction company but being overseen by Phil Morris and Andy Meredith to ensure it’s done the right way.

If it’s 6 teams in the Premiership that really isn’t that much difference from 9 in the Championship really…I don’t get Championship speedway fans being so anti Premiership , it’s all speedway at the end of the day and I’ve happily watched both leagues and enjoyed both …I’d just like speedway to survive and hopefully thrive again yet it seems a lot of fans don’t want that

Going by the time some say it takes to get there if he is 20 mins away that must be about a mile down the road ...:D

I believe Wolverhampton could be persuaded if they had the right person to talk to entain on speedways behalf, you know like someone on the board of the greyhound association, I wonder who is on that board that could possibly help speedway out ? https://www.gbgb.org.uk/sir-philip-davies-appointed-next-chair-of-gbgb/

What makes you think CVS is not the right person to talk to them?m

Because firstly CVS isn’t interested and it’s time he came out and said so and more importantly CVS has no say in anything about greyhounds, Mr Phillips does and is part of not only of the board of greyhound racing but is also part of speedway futures Ltd

If CVS could get things back up and running he would. I’ve not seen any indication he is no longer interested.

Trust me he isn’t, he isn’t looking for land and he isn’t trying to get back into monmore, we contacted entain ourselves a month back and he wasn’t interested himself, I think if it was 20 years ago then maybe but I think he just too old now to do it all again and I say that in a kind way not to be derogatory
