A lot of 2,1’ in there but it’ll suffer from a lack of heat winners and will get outgunned especially on the road where you can see a good few hidings coming.

Hopefully whoever told Noaksey Thorssell was unlikely, is the same source that told him Adams might be the new Team manager 🤪

He was the make or break signing for this team IMO and would have made it more palatable. If the last place is filled by Jenkins or similar (with the greatest respect to him) then it’s a stinker of a team let’s be honest.

The level of support will be interesting. The fans are used to seeing a sprinkle of stardust at Foxhall but are now going to see the fella that was third in the averages, suddenly jump two places to be the out and out number 1.

There is some decent solid riders in there don’t get me wrong, but the problem is they’re all riders that should be slotting in at 3 and 4, not heatleader positions where they’ve proven to struggle in the past. Musielak particularly.

Feel a bit for the new owners. They’ve come in late in the day and have been dealt a pretty poor hand. Only thing I’d say is let’s wait and see if they’re proactive because options will develop later in the season.

“Week and a half” is the likely timescale for a sale confirmation. So we’re looking at middle of next week, not this week.

Thorsell not happening now apparently, not sure why, his GF diddnt want him doing 4 leagues so maybe that was something to do with it, or maybe he was just sick of waiting

If Jenkins is the No.6 then this Team gets hammered at Home as well as Away.

Going to see a massive drop off in attendances that's for sure especially after this joke of a winter.

Can’t disagree with any of that. If they had the six I mentioned on the provision that Thorssell would be the seventh, then they might have to rip up a couple of deals and have a rethink. 
 

The problem is, if there was a lack of quality options to begin with, then it’s not likely to be any different now. 
 

With the six plus Jenkins, the season is a write off before it’s even started. That’s not being negative, just a reality. 
 

What on earth are Northampton going to go with if they get the Green light? A top two of Klindt and Iversen?
