It’s Northampton we’re riding Thursday norbold.

To be fair assuming it would be Leicester is a reasonable shout! 😄 I get to see the Foxes again - it was 47-43 last time i reckon the Witches might get a few more on thurs but we will see if the recent changes have strengthened or weakened the Foxes!

Witches need to win and Lynn dumped them out of the playoff spots last night so no messing big strong performances needed. Hopefully TomB will feel a less pressured at 4 - I just hope that Danny and Scott as both have been very effective of late at home in their respective 2 and 4 slots. Thomson will be key for The Foxes. Nice to see Adam back but I hope he doesn't have a good night!

Sorry to be defeatist GM but I’m not the slightest bit bothered whether we get fourth or not this year. Lynn can have it. 
 

Neither club is getting close to Belle Vue over two legs. To be fair, none of us expected to with the team we were forced to put together.

Tend to agree but a Play Off semi would at least bring a few quid into the coffers

An enhanced attendance coukd also encourage Mayfield as to what is possible if they get the product right

Think of that prize money for getting to the final........oh ok

Roll on 2027, Not bothered about the rest of this season now.

Only thing I care about for the rest of this season are GSA's when it comes to Brennan and King.

It still makes me look twice seeing Northampton in a fixture list. Unreal.

I think Mayfield will be well aware of what can be achieved with the right team. They will know about the packed Foxhall Heath last year for the play off final.

But British Speedway still hasn't worked out how to encourage those watching the Semis and the Final to return for the standard league matches ...

In the local area so may attend, I think Northampton will win tomorrow.

I can see a half bothered Lawson returning similar numbers to Brennan and think with the switches the Foxes have made they will come away 46-44

But only if Klindt turns up lol
