PLEASE OPEN THE OTHER GATE. I've spent so many hours watching the tractor trying to squeeze through that gap... I don't think it opens,?

I would think the crowd would be one of their best over the last few meetings, given Brady is there.. Which you expect will be advertised locally.. Meaning a "last gasp" victory would generate some fresh impetus at a key time of their development, and maybe boost the crowds up again for the next few matches, and a decent turn out when the Aces visit again... It won't make any difference to the Aces Play Off Qualification and it would be good to see a very close meeting on my visit.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago It would have been easier and less expensive for Northampton to share Leicester's track and by the same token a Peterborough team could race at Kings Lynn. Maybe thats the way forward? you have riders doubling up, why not tracks so long as its not more than a hours drive between the two and the stadiums would spend less time just sitting their not attracting revenue.

He’s not going to come out and admit it on live television is he. Excellent at a well run club in Sheffield, saw right through Busters circus at Lynn pretty quickly and sacked them off sharpish, walked in to a car crash at Birmingham and rarely delivered, now riding well again at another well run club at Ipswich. You can guess which kind of Musielak you’re going to be getting when you see which club he signs for every winter.,, Totally agree. Said exactly the same when he signed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouch Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago 1 hour ago, Racin Jason 72 said: Totally agree. Said exactly the same when he signed I bet he wishes he could have ridden against Northampton last season as he could get his 12-13 points against those so so tough Foxes. Better than the single figure scores he banks against other teams that see his average from those meetings almost identical to that with the unprofessional Brummies. Figure sans Northampton 7.18 Brummies figure 6.87. Difference due to not riding in the harder number 1 position. 0.31, inc bonus. As has been said you can tell which Musielak you get when you see which club sign him. Brummies = Witches. Dam those facts & statistics.

TheSmiler Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Attended this meeting on Monday as my first visit to Northampton and to play devils advocate here I absolutely loved it from the first impression. One of the promoter’s out the front greeting supporters was a really classy touch and made a world of difference. I entered feeling already valued as a spectator. The food was of a decent quality. The drinks whilst on the penny side come with a nice souvenir Foxes cup which is a nice touch. Merch is of a decent quality and I understand they are constantly refreshing and adding to it. The team is obviously sub-par but they’ve not exactly been pushovers, they could have easily won this meeting if Batchelor (get rid btw) & Jeppesen showed up a bit earlier. A quality rider up top and a better effort from Jeppesen and this team will win its home meetings which is vital to keeping good crowd levels. Yes the track needs work; and it is always going to struggle after Stox & Bangers meetings but it isn’t far off being a good race track as was shown in the latter heats. This has made me a fan and is a better option to me as a Coventry fan than visiting and supporting Leicester. I will 100% be back. Well done Northampton. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmon Posted 4 minutes ago Report Share Posted 4 minutes ago First visit for me and I didn't like the look of the steel poste behinf the fence which had foam blocks over the top of them. Did wonder how they got away with the Mildenhall debacle with the protection they were going to provide to their posts. But then I remembered - they needed another team in the Premiership.
