paulnolan Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago We're on, then! It's hard to predict anything with a brand new track but a home victory would (of course) be nice! Teams as per Ipswich social media: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Going by the Foxhall result it should be tight Expecting a much needed home win to support the politically correct narrative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheDeepStuff Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Wonder if the Foxes will get some track time in the afternoon ahead of meeting, bit like their P&P? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it does get "newbies" used to it "early doors"... I would have thought RR would have been the choice given four of their riders would get more track time, and money.... Let's hope Kyle doesn't become the match winner, as he would become the Northampton fans' first hero!!!.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted 51 minutes ago Report Share Posted 51 minutes ago Because it's meeting 1, I one of 2 things will happen, way over watered or way under watered. Over watered ipswich win, underwatered and the Foxes win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Jacobs Posted 32 minutes ago Report Share Posted 32 minutes ago Despite all the hype about the size, e.g. Spedeworth says their track is 396 metres, it turns out the track is actually 310 metres! I did a rough measure on GoogleMaps, and it does indeed look much closer to 300ish than any high 300 number. Not sure there's much by way of banking, so the wide line will need some grip ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still... Just as long as they can "bob over" now and again, as and when they can, and honour us with their presence, we will welcome them back with open arms, and it all will be OK.... Have the Northampton Promoters done a "Welcome to UK Speedway" pack for the first time visitors?.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dean summed it up the best... "Going through the motions"..... Sadly, I would say he is spot on... Best of Luck to Northampton, I will be there at least once this season, hopefully many others will do the same... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB1 Posted 9 minutes ago Report Share Posted 9 minutes ago British Speedway is a bit like a grenade waiting to go off. Years ago some pleb pulled out the pin and been wondering around with it in his hand not sure what to do with it. Unfortunately, sooner or later he'll drop it and that will be the end of British Speedway as we know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
