Could be a reshuffle with NKI being out or they go R/R until he’s back and get what the can for the final three, also told that Wright was approached but he turned them down weeks ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a 'no facility' guest, but that'd be that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the way things are going they are probably going to be one of the weaker teams anyway... just what a new club needs to get the fans flocking in their thousands...!!! If they are then also told that they can't have a proper facility for one of their chosen riders that really would put the lid on it... Surely this should be a case of the famous... "In the best interests of the Sport"... rule... and this would be one of the more reasonable applications of it... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More meetings will have guests this season, again, than not, for a plethora of avoidable reasons, therefore Northampton starting with them, and even running all season with them, for something out of their control, isn't going to make one jot of difference to the credibility of the sport.... And, it is imperative that Northampton are competitive... And, given the other promoters have put their team together, I am sure they will ensure it... Whichever way it has to happen...

Maybe a 'no facility' guest, but that'd be that.... If they threaten to close their track that might get it. Also, whilst they’re at it they could get a reduction on their number one’s average. https://britishspeedway.co.uk/21results/kings_lynn_17.05.21_res.pdf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesHarris Posted 17 minutes ago Report Share Posted 17 minutes ago What the hell is going one here? I keep looking every day on the interweb thinking surely there must be some news. Surely even what the team are to be called? The season has begun and we have little to no information about this new venture. Interestingly enough I did some work in Northampton the other week and one of my clients used to follow MK back in the day. I asked him if he was looking forward to the new speedway at Northampton and he hadn't got a clue what I was talking about!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
