Haza

I was there last night great weather big crowd and a amazingly run slick meeting they got on with it minimal delays Tai will have had a great pay day but let’s be honest the racing was pants follow the leader gate one a total grave yard it’s the second time I’ve been there this season and I certainly won’t be rushing back in 2027 but as I say it was all about Tai.

You under 25 by any chance ?

And whose fault was that ?we had a massive opportunity when Sky was on board but 0% investment by promotions - they just took the money and ran - every track should have could have invested in track covers should have could have invested in junior racing like in Poland Sweden and Denmark - track surface should have been improved better grading equipment investment in stadiums so much that’s should have could have been improved so little wonder Sky Sports walked away

And then you have Klindt scoring just 3 points so don’t see how you can criticise Batch on 5 points

That was one of the reasons we stopped attending absolutely no urgency to get the meeting completed 15 heats is 15 heats if it’s over hour and a half or 3 hours but on a Monday or Thursday evening keeping the meeting flowing should be top priority but sadly it isn’t - speedway in this country needs a total reset 15 heats for £25 is way to expensive for what’s on offer basically 15 minutes racing - we’ve not been to Kings Lynn since August 2021 v Peterborough have I missed it definitely not and this comes from someone who arranged his whole life around speedway especially Kings Lynn .

The problem Kings Lynn have is how often these questionable call offs happen some may be justified (maybe tonight’s meeting ) but some clearly wasn’t in any other sport there would be an investigation into why there is so many meetings cancelled - and if found guilty a fine or points deduction or both but this is British speedway so nothing will happen but does nothing for the credibility of the sport

Not saying that at all they do as they wish that’s entirely up to them -all I’m saying there track record isn’t good on dodgy call offs so if some fans find the reasons hard to believe it’s hardly surprising. But ultimately they do as they please but in any other sport there would be repercussions.

Big difference there is Lynns appalling track record on dodgy call offs they’ve a long history of doing this for various reasons .

I just can’t see how this club can be marketed to the Northampton people in just little over a month to the first home meeting with no fan base . They really needed the whole closed season to get the word out - who would sponsor a club this close to the first home meeting with no information on club owners riders .

The longer this goes on with no announcement I think the whole thing is less likely to happen just can’t see Northampton coming to the tapes this season this closed season been a PR disaster for Premier league speedway with Ipswich long running sale and announcement of a 6 th club with Northampton - how can any of the other clubs sell season tickets or sponsorship when we still don’t no absolutely jack s##t about the 6 th team absolute joke of a so called professional sport

And how is Iversen injury as well as I’d say he was a dead cert for a team place as well

Give them a chance but I no what your saying it is a bit of a strange one - has a new track to speedway ( yes they staged speedway years ago ) ever come in to a league cold with no hardcore supporters ever before ? Even Skegness had ex Boston fans not far away and that track didn’t last long . I really hope this is a success not just for the club but all of British speedway

Ex Brummie promoter Tolley ? Or ex go rider and friend ?

An absolute farce it’s March two days time - move on and sort the league out for 2027 I’m done with this season

Thinking back to much better and happier times late 90s early noughties both Ipswich and Northampton would have been given a 31st January deadline to give a definite intention to race if not by that date that would have been it until the following season but we are in very desperate times in 2026 even if it’s at best a 6 team league unless there is a rabbit out of the hat signing the top 4 in the league already sorted .
