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 .

It really does show what desperate state the Premier league speedway is in that we are 3 weeks away from racing and still not 100% sure if it’s 4 5 or 6 teams racing in 2026- definitely 4 probably 5 but still not 100% on Ipswich and possibly 6 teams if Northampton can get ready for the season - it really is desperate times .

With the new season 3 weeks away I’d have thought there would be some kind of building work going on at Northampton by now .

Could have been passing through along the M1 and thought let’s go and have a look at the Stadium and stir a few people up it’s a photo that’s all . And it could be AI

Yes photo on facebook outside the stadium

Can imagine potential sponsors at Northampton has long time lost interest similar with other clubs to a lesser extent cant even tell a potential sponsor how many teams are in the league this close to the start of the new season in all honesty who would be the slightest bit interested in sponsoring a club ?

Well if it all comes off at Northampton I wish them luck .

Good question there might still be a few around - there is a good catchment area around Northampton near the M1 easy to get to near Northampton as well compared to the club I used to attend kings Lynn who has the sea one side of the town Northampton is central with a massive catchment area the only thing they don’t have is hard core loyal fans that attend come what may and that’s a massive miss .
