I first thought CHolder was peering through a hole in the poster, like what you do at the seaside, being the O in Northampton!

Is it you that’s representing UK at Eurovision?!

The current machinery requires the finest tuning, and very regular upkeep to keep it functioning at its peak level. There needs to be a reset of the engines, allowed components, etc. British league racing has to become more affordable for everyone, and the riders have as big a part to play as anyone else. In that way, reaching the GP could be akin to Formula One, with riders progressing through the levels.

... for team building purposes only.

I think they meant guaranteed Top 5 finish (assuming 5 are guaranteed to take part). King's Lynn fans have been delighted to be guaranteed Top 6/7 finishers for the last few seasons, because that's consistently higher than when there were more teams in the BL, Elite, Prem, etc. 😊

And the “unsinkable” Premiership decided they didn’t need their own …

You can't really have a behind closed doors signing-on night - they need members of the public to volunteer so, in theory, anyone could have gone if they wanted to. i'm completely fed up. There's more to life than wondering even if there will still be speedway, let alone who will be riding. No attempt at a publicity splash or big reveals will make the slightest bit of difference now.

Will there be an announcement today, Tuesday? It would clash with the much-heralded and long-awaited release of the 2026 Championship fixture list ...

Not so much a view as a sound, i.e. of the veritable bottom of a barrel being scraped …

Badenoch would blame Starmer, without providing a solution. Davey would demand a Public Enquiry. Polanski wouldn't be asked. Farage would blame the Turks.

Or they could be sponsored by Linda Lusardi: Northampton Knockers

But what's the asking price? Effectively, it can only be the cost of buying the licence to promote in the Prem. The new owner has to rebuild from the start: they'll have to pay to rent the track (without income from the food & drink outlets - unless they can agree a %age?); they'll need to generate sponsorship (and agree deals with existing goodwill sponsors); plus the hope that, once a team is announced, the die-hards will return and some new customers can be attracted.

You can be as defiant as you wish. If other people don't pick the same match as you, you could well be alone ...

Love the typo! If they don't improve on the road, then it definitely hinders the Tigers 🙂

In a field of 4 or 5 🤪
