THE DEAN MACHINE Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 56 minutes ago, 1 valve said: Well it looks like we will be finding out the answer to your question over this coming season. Meanwhile, good luck to all those folk concerned with bringing a new speedway venue to the Premiership. I just hope it works because failure of Northampton while the premier league is decimated by numbers will be catastrophic for speedway as a whole, I will go as a new track as I think many will but when the novelty fan wears off they need a fan base 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was my first thought... surely they must have insurance in place and not need the long suffering fans to once again dig into their pockets... And what about CCTV?... Are they trying to identify the culprits? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinker Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Scumbags, scratters, morons - the list goes on. Anyone know how they might have got in, climbed over a fence? Hope they find the culprits, sorry scumbags! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 valve Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Go fund now up to £7.5k Yet again speedway folk show their true colours when the chips are down. If a few more of us could “chip-in” a spare tenner or so, then the target will be soon me. Let’s hope some of the cash raised can be used to improve security at the stadium! After all prevention is better than cure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racin Jason 72 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Surely any damage to the stadium is down to the stadium owners to put right and claim off their insurance ? And not the people who rent the facilities 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not the people who rent the facilities I would imagine most stadium leases would be a full repairing and insuring lease. If the damage was done over 2 nights, it's a shame no one knew after the first night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teromaafan Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Whilst I’m appalled by this vandalism, this go fund request doesn’t sit well with me. This is why we take out insurance on things we own. Clubs take advantage of supporters enthusiasm and their voluntary efforts throughout every season, which is why I think the club is pushing their luck in this situation. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I kind of agree with you, they've smashed their 10 grand appeal... hopefully if there's any money left after they've straightened those poles out (😉), they'll Invest in some kit in making the site more secure. It's a miracle it's not been targeted before now really in it's 15 year existence. Edited March 7 by IainB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
