Confirmed by mark lemon in today’s speedway star that Northampton is being funded by current promoters and unnamed investors.

The Northampton promotion must be BSPL lack of information. No team announced. No nickname. No promotion announced secrecy and no engagement with the customers. Must be BSPL

No because Godfrey has got Bradfords stock car meetings. And that’s why he is opposed to two home and away in the championship. self interest from the chairman

Like all your negative posts. They are all cobblers !!!

I was told only two clubs made money and they are the two you mentioned. And I’m certain that Chris Louis was concerned for the future as no tv deal would leave him 60k adrift and with the added expense of a new air and wooden fence the sums just didn’t add up anymore.

How do you put someone on ignore ? I use my smartphone as I don’t have a desktop computer so don’t know if the smartphone has this feature. i certainly can’t find it but I’m not tech savvy unfortunately

Surely any damage to the stadium is down to the stadium owners to put right and claim off their insurance ? And not the people who rent the facilities

That’s the one !!!

I’d add lemon to the list. They couldn’t organise a village fete successfully. Absolute shambles. instead of aspiring to the professional levels of Poole Glasgow Ipswich Leicester and Redcar we dumb down to the likes of Godfrey and Chapman who just threaten to pack up if they don’t get their own way.

It’s worrying times because if Sheffield lost money last year then they certainly will this year. £80k less income this year I’d imagine. £60k via tv money and £20k possibly from a headline sponsor. points limit slashed and a weaker product and no doubt a price increase at the turnstiles will bring the crowds flocking. when will speedway learn that after 20 attempts of this master plan it’s quite obvious the 21st attempt will fail too. i

Maybe if they had listened to Chris Louis who informed the BSPL four years ago that speedway was welcome at Northampton and would be a vital additional track. then we wouldn’t have this last minute rush to launch and the delay of fixtures etc.

I would love to know how many riders don’t work during the off season. I’d imagine many championship rider’s also don’t but I may be wrong

I thank you !!! Simon lambert it is. And Rob Godfrey was joking

Only two teams made a profit last year. One in the premiership and one in the championship.

Have you watched Godfrey on speedway 360 on YouTube ? I it’s truly scary how they see speedway futures working. He can’t even remember the Tory grandee’s name despite being on the board alongside him. watch it and see what you think

I think lambert has signed for scunny and it’s a double bluff.

You can see why Chris Louis has run off. I’m sure this certainly didnt align with his views of how the sport should present itself

And we don’t need more fixtures because I’ve filled my calendar with stock car meetings which would have been staged at Bradford. Sorry I mean because the second time teams came our crowds were down. which had nothing to do with us being bottom of the league

Spot on ! my worry is that the strategy for SFL is to find a wealthy fool and in exchange for his or her money we will change the sport to their wishes surely put a credible two league structure in place with promotion and relegation. Play offs to decide who gets promoted in championship. And play offs in premiership to decide who gets relegated. who comes top wins the league in both divisions. begin to phase out doubling up by only allowing riders who are living in the uk to double up. once you achieve this you can then get tv interested again with lots of meaningful fixtures

You are correct on both counts. the fence has to be a polyfoam barrier but as reported in this week’s speedway star the company that provided the fences has gone bust.

Doesn’t Phil Morris answer to Godfrey ?

I think you are giving the BSPL too much credit Dean. They wouldn’t think of that !!! imo the 6th team is just a pipe dream. If they had acted sooner it could have been achieved but Godfreys head was too deep in the sand.

The gate has the same issue as the owner. It had a screw loose 😆
