A question regarding the racing surface at Northampton. Will the surface getting carved up by stockcars cause an issue for speedway or will they have enough time to turn it around between cars and speedway?

I've watched the videos with a tinge of sadness but I guess we all have to move on. It just seemed from some of the comments that this was an inevitable moment given the state of the sport in this country. I only hope the new owners respect the heritage and never ever forget it. It would be great for example either at the stadium or indeed somewhere in the town if we could have a montage or painted mural of some of the legends that have served the club from the 50s to the present day as a shrine to the clubs history.

Steady on Iain! The BSPL will be discombobulating with reckless comments like that.

It's called realism.

Whoever he or she is a can't see it being a hit in the Dragons Den! Sorry but this smacks of desperation surrounded by a failing sport! Filling half baked Premiership teams with riders that have been round the track more times than a runner bean is not going to have punters flocking to the gates. A perfect opportunity to create something new and give advancement to NDL riders has been sorely and wilfully missed for the greed of the top flight clubs ( including my own)!

Pardon the pun but are the new owners ' sweeping a broom' through the place? I seem to remember in 1989 the late great John Earrey replacing Rob Chandler on the mic and various other personnel changes from the Shears era. In summary we all have to accept that UK Speedway has a terminal diagnosis and it's patients are in denial!

Northampton gone? Sounds like a post apocalypse movie!

Spot on as always Iain. They have clearly realised that you have to cut the cloth accordingly. One thing I will say with the race nights is at Ipswich which are somewhat rather fortunate in that Thursday has been our race night for all eternity and I have always thought that the media coverage in this area for speedway has in fairness always been top notch. Even back in the late nineties Tomasz Gollob used to do a weekly column for the local rag.

'Potential Northampton side' does that include Lord Lucan and Captain Oates? With Shergar as the mascot?

The supporters club are organising the annual meet the riders on March 26th at Venue 16 in Ipswich. Shouldn't it be at Area 51

What did he say?

Bspl Brewery staff p1ss up lol!

Approximately 6.5 miles from the centre of Northampton.

Low bar? Start digging towards the earth's core and you may find that bar.

As Carl Johnson had stated on 360 that Peterborough had been approached. Could it be that Peterborough could run out of Lynn? After all there are minimal restrictions and presumably Buster would earn extra revenue from it. Surely it's far more likely than other options.
