Just because they can't be bothered to tell the customers ... After all, they've announced Northampton as a new team, but it seems that the track still hasn't been approved ... lots of assumptions being made ... Can’t approve a track that they haven’t finished building yet . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortythirtyeight Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Interesting to read that other Premiership Promoters now have a ‘vested interest’ in the club so which promoter will be named as the ‘Tutor’ as all new promoters are supposed to have one ? Sounds like going back to the old days when one promoter ran several clubs . Do recall that not being within the rules but that book is simply ‘advice’ these days it seems.

In Bandit Country 1 hour ago, DaveWayne said: So Leicester were called the Hunters at the same time as the Brafield Flying Foxes existed. 😉 Far from it being an 'attempted appropriation' or a 'lack of local knowledge', it is historically accurate in returning to the name of the original team that rode at the same stadium. Most 'older' stock car fans still refer to the stadium as Brafield rather than Northampton. So hopefully all of the fans from the old Flying Foxes days and their descendents will be connecting and turning up in good numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so I’m either really laid back or out of touch with modern sensibilities. I just hope Mark doesn’t bring along his bleedin’ podium. I just hope mark doesn’t bring himself, too many cooks and all that, ego’s will soon come in to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this starts to go wrong does the new promoter get picked on by the other 5 playground bullies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aries Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 24 minutes ago, noaksey said: No big hitter They’d have run in to the same problems we did at Ipswich. Speaking to the new promotion last week, they contacted several GP riders and all “politely declined” as they already had their season mapped out. A few of them WERE open to riding here in ‘27 though so more options likely on the table for both Ipswich and Northampton next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all very Birmingham isn't it but that's no surprise to anyone They will have to try and change it up as the season progresses but even that has become incredibly difficult now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
