IainB Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago A great comeback from the Tigers, they looked out of it after 11 after a couple of indifferent rides from Jack Holder but after an unlikely 5-1 in 14 they were pretty much home and hosed with a couple of Holders in 15 👏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost his team the meeting potentially. Not got the Senior Adams tactical nous. Shame as was heading for another Northampton win which is what they need to keep the crowd coming back, how were the numbers tonight?

I think Adams is too pally with the riders, doesn't seem to have a ruthless streak like his old man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't really need great tactical nous, to know that you should give an unbeaten reserve extra rides. Ok Kye lost a 5-1 in heat 14, but he was unbeaten up till then, but only given his 4 rides!

spin king junior Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago Motm Chris Adams- not giving Thomson additional rides helped secure us that win. Well impressed with the set up at Northampton though, fantastic facilties and was well organised. Track needs work, up against it with how warm and dry it was but I think had their been more grading we could've potentially seen more racing- however if they can sort that out and put together a more competitive team they could be ob to a real winner.

Jez Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Good to see Sheffield finally get an away win this season, decent away following as well. Chris Holder rolling back the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, there was some close racing last night, but only 1 real pass of note that I can remember from Anders Rowe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First visit last night, and frankly won't be going again if that's what is on offer entertainment wise. A shame as the stadium is alright.

Wollyhat Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago First time to Northampton. What a great setup. If they could get a bit more banking on the corners I think it would make for more racing lines, but we still have to remember that it's still a first year track. I remember Scunthorpe having to make several adjustments when they firs started. As a Sheffield fan I had a great night but for me the ride of the night was "Reggi" in ht.14. that was hat he was brought in to do and would love to see more of it. I wish all the best to the Foxes as they are a great addition to the league and speedway in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulnolan Posted 46 minutes ago Report Share Posted 46 minutes ago Not much to say except that, once again, the Foxes only had 5 riders, but a different 5! Thomson should have had 6 rides but that's what you get with an inexperienced team manager, I suppose. Racing was apparently poor, crowd was apparently good. Hopefully the first improves before the second falls. I'll be there a week on Monday and just enjoy having something local for the rest of the season!
