  1. Past hour
  2. But not ahead of anyone else who travelled to the far corners of Europe in a vain effort to qualify
  3. Majority on here seem very negative towards this new venture. A shame really as they need to have fans behind them. Peterborough, Birmingham and Coventry are lost and fans could easily head over to Northampton to give their support. I wish them all the best in this venture. It’s going to be hard to start from scratch in a town not known for speedway. Hopefully the locals will come out to see what it’s all about and a fanbase can be built. Good luck to them.
  4. Excuse the pun given your handle but I'm thinking the "Northampton Ghosts" given no one has seen any riders, team manager or promoters yet.
  5. Northampton team name, I have 2 Nimrods & Hammers. With no names being given as yet to the management, could one be Nigel Wagstaff? He still owes me a few quid from his Oxford days would be good to catch up.
  6. yes, me and my son.. I started watching Speedway at Weymouth in the 80s whilst on holiday and travelled the country with them until the eventual demise , I also went to Coventry and Milton Keynes again until they closed too My lad used to come with me when he was young ( he's now 36 ) and we are looking forward to it . It all seems a bit quiet though on the Promoter/ Team/ Publicty front which is strange
  7. Today
  8. We can dine on last year for 12 months no problem. We’ll defend our title properly in ‘27 when we have the same opportunity as everyone else to build our team 😁
  9. Could get beaten more than an egg and it wouldn't matter Form is temporary, Class is permanent
  10. the track is halfway between the villages of Brafield on the Green ( A428 Northampton to Bedford Rd) and Horton , so basically in the middle if nowhere
  11. I bet there would have been. Ipswich get that for run of the mill League meetings with nothing at stake. It’s a shame every club isn’t as well supported, the sport wouldn’t be in half the mess it currently is in this Country. Your GP Star was certainly wowed by the occasion! Scenes he’s never experienced at the wonderful NSS 😉 Every supporter of every club thinks it’s worth winning, until they have no chance of the play offs or get knocked out of them. Then it’s suddenly all worthless and not worth winning. We all know the drill. Even this years shambles is worth winning. The winners will have a title win etched on to their honours list. It won’t have an asterisk accompanying it.
  12. A perfect storm, given the decades without a win, and the first leg result ... If Leicester had won the first leg 60-30, there wouldn't have been 2,000 there .. And 500 of them would have been from Leicester...😁
  13. Your opinion and thats fair enough. In the best 15 in the world I doubt is up for much debate tho
  14. The jubilant scenes from the 5k+ that attended the final, coupled with the celebrations from management, riders and staff, definitely proves it was worth winning 😉
  15. An opinion I can’t agree with. Jack Holder, Kurtz, Bewley and maybe even Fricke are probably better than Sayfutdinov and demonstrably better than Laguta….IMO
  16. I think they got a lot more stick putting Woffy in then they would have putting Parnitskyi in!
  17. Definitely wouldnt want the 2 best riders in the world outside of Zmarzlik in the series. How stupid would that be.
  18. You mean the world under 21 champion who should have got the place ahead of Tai anyway?
  19. The conspiracy theorist in me says woffinden was never going to ride but to put a Ukrainian straight in to the line up was a too obvious bit of virtue signalling so do it by the back door
  20. A competition so worth winning, that one of last years' entrants have voluntarily pulled out to focus on winning the second tier.....
  21. Since when did credibility and speedway belong in the same sentence 😜
  22. A mature decision I would suggest... Fair play to him.... Laguta as the WC surely... If the GP's want to have credibility...
  23. That's the Manchester wild cards sorted at least, he'll get them both if he starts the season well I'd have thought
  24. Stand by for more pathetic squealing from the Emil/Laguta lovers -- how dare they put a Ukrainian in before them!
