The H man, thought he had been a bit quiet on here 

I am utterly grasping at straws here Dean but I got the impression at Birmingham there was someone else in the background who was as minted as Tolley underwriting the losses was this H or am i way off base with my speculation ?

I’m not sure he was underwriting the losses but he was part of the promotion and obviously put money in

Any chance you can tell us how Northampton's first season went?

Yup, my bad!  Good spot.  I would like to predict Northampton's first season as a successful one both on and off track.  👌

It's generally not the done thing though is it... and in some cases can lead to legal proceedings

Let's see if their colours are going to be Blue and White... and they sell a load of knock off merch at the track shop 😂

If they start selling Singha beer and have a Thai food stand it'll get more suspiciuous!

The sport is really missing a trick in not getting involved in “vlogger” culture. Imagine having dedicated vlogs to drum up interest and offer a behind the scenes look at what it takes to prepare for a season. Insight into a rider’s daily life etc. 

It would enhance the interest incredibly.

Tik Tok is a very useful tool for sports clubs. All it takes is a video to go viral and boom. 

I went to see Deftones at the NEC a couple of months back and I couldn't believe how many youngsters were there. They've been together for over 30 years, but they're not really big these days. Turns out one of their songs was used in a TikTok video that went viral and now they're appealing to a whole new audience. 

Maybe the BSPL should get a band together. I wonder what they'd be called 🤔

They were originally know as the brafield flying foxes, before the name was changed to the brafield badgers. 

Exactly, its a nod to their history, although I'd have preferred Badgers!

[Shhalewhhale]

Should have called them the "Lasts", big nod to the shoe making industry...

Best of luck to the foxes, I look forward to visiting at some point this season

They'll do well to avoid relegation... the 10 point deduction didn't help though 🦊

I take it that’s a soccer reference?

I thought that's who you meant when you said the Foxes 😉

I thought they were called city, I didn’t know they were called the foxes, I don’t follow soccer in the slightest so not really up on their names

I think Manchester City are called "City"... although that will very much depend on what "City" you live in lol

The same will apply to United, Town, Rovers, Wanderers, Athletic etc. etc.

Good Luck To H Man in his new  venture .Hopefully With him at the helm the legend Terry Tibbs will make a return to the forum. Taik to me lol

Then why couldn't they call themselves Northampton Badges then? Surely it's a more logical option 

[TB1]

If a 'consortium' of different people are running it, does that qualify as a clusterf#ck?

Thankfully it is only currently a 6 point deduction
