Big Al Posted Tuesday at 02:38 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 02:38 PM 21 hours ago, Marky_Mark said: You’re posting pics of the track before any work has taken place and declaring it a death trap! They know what needs to be done to make it a speedway racetrack and like every other track in the country it will be subject to a full independent inspection before it’s granted a license from the SCB. It amazes me, most people said this had no chance of happening, even suggested the 6th team was made up for the BSPL press release. And yet when it is announced, rather than be happy that we have a new team in the league and we have a premiership of 6 teams, everybody can’t wait to mock it or tear it to shreds before it’s even opened. And you wonder why there isn’t a lot of people willing to run/keep a speedway track going for us? Surely, anyone willing to run a speedway venue is not going to be so thin-skinned or woke as to be deterred by comments which are mainly observational, questioning, or humorous? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old bob at herne bay Posted Wednesday at 12:48 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 12:48 PM Let’s hope the BSPL have been explicit in stating the requirements for Northampton Cobblers speedway to be granted a licence, and we do not have any unforeseen delays.

InTheDeepStuff Posted yesterday at 12:46 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:46 PM Wonder if this will be anything near the Northampton 1-7 for the coming season: 1 Jaimon Lidsey 7.87 2 Rohan Tungate 5.89 3 Nicolai Klindt 6.46 4 Charles Wright 6.11 5 Niels Iversen 6.71 6 Kye Thomson 3.95 7 Luke Harrison RS Using the last updated 2025 averages including any reductions I think that the team total is 36.99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think about Tai, as the rumours were he was going to Ipswich and we were getting a gp star, but maybe the promotors agreed it would be better for him to go Northampton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only need six riders as they could run R/R for the entire season and win the league. I wouldn’t bet against that with the current mickey mouse way of doing things. Why can’t we get back to the halcyon days of the 70’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or get Eddie Kennett in for opening night then go with your plan match 2 to season end or Niki Pederson for another one of those awesome first corners. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
