Think I read previously that this has been looked at fairly recently but there’s a rule that means it can’t happen as it’s too close to Kings Lynn?

I believe it was something to do with the previous manager enquired but because it was within 30 miles of KL there is a rule saying a new track cannot open within that distance.

As an aside, I see Swaffham raceway is for sale at £1.6m so if someone has deep pockets you have a ready made arena and probably a better chance of gaining punters rather than Northampton albeit I guess Kings Lynn would not be happy but hey, it could be for the good of the sport so some sacrifices need to be made. No one really complained when you had several tracks operating in London at the same time. It says the current owners would consider leasing it.

Completely different scenario in an extremely densely populated conurbation like London. A speedway team in Swaffham would be tapping into the very same customer base that go to Lynn in a part of the world which is relatively sparsely populated. Just dont think it would work for either venue.

It’s 14 miles betweeen two stadiums and not many people. Speedway at swaffham has been talked bout for best part of 40 years.

Will the PL implode if Ipswich don’t run next season and the PL have no choice but to run in The championship ?
