Aries Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago 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. 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...

But for this to happen British speedway has got to get it's house in order, clubs to give intention to run etc by the end of August, so these top riders can sign up and know where they are potentially gonna ride at in 2027, before they commit to other leagues 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTRSports Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Not sure what anyone else expects other than to be competing in the bottom two, late to the tapes so to speak, all done last minute, the track isn't complete, no real home advantage once tapes do go up, Northampton is very much up against it before a green light goes on but, if they can offer entertainment, can get the name out there, and survive into 2027 who knows... I'll certainly try and make one night this season and take my old man, but really do hope it works out for them, hopefully win a few meetings if they do then congratulations to them as its literally backs to the walls stuff already 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralMelchett Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago I hope to get there this season and in reality as a new venture being competitve at home is key for them. Its nice to see the plans at least getting put in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison What does everyone feel about that? It is what it is just happy they are coming to the tapes They look a bit like us at Ipswich …. Lidsey isn’t a number one by any stretch of the imagination A team that is solid to a point but lol the weakest but as I say good to see them at the tapes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted 23 minutes ago Report Share Posted 23 minutes ago (edited) Surprised at zagar, very capable rider but for me lacks dedication these days for the price you pay for him especially as the H Man saw him last year Edited 21 minutes ago by THE DEAN MACHINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul84 Posted 21 minutes ago Report Share Posted 21 minutes ago (edited) Not a bad 1-7 especially as a new club, all got potential and could shock a few on their day. Best of luck to them ! Edited 20 minutes ago by paul84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck to them ! Exactly this if they all click on the same day, they may spring the odd surprise... Lidsey for me is in a similar bracket to Brennan, probably didn't expect to be a no.1 this season but hopefully pushes both riders on all capable of being inconsistent, if they all drop the ball same night they'll take a few hammerings but as said could surprise a few too, adds some interest...

ShanoXtra Posted 3 minutes ago Report Share Posted 3 minutes ago It’s a decent side, not title winners but solid. Let’s face it, we would all rather have them in the league than not so I’m glad they have a decent team. A lot of Ipswich fans have already said they will be there for the opening meeting so solid crowds is what a new club requires. More positivity than negativity, a nice stadium, good track and a good time out. Good luck Northampton 👊🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
