I'm lost haha

Ah I know who he is now. Friendly chap and was underappreciated at Leicester.

If Northampton works out I fear they will do nothing. They'll just be happy with 6 teams in the premiership I reckon. Even though we all know 6 teams isn't enough.

I have no idea who you are so probably not 🤣

Well they had someone local not that long ago that would check up on the stadium and prepare the track then they decided to sack him...

Just seen them. Not good at all.

You watch them blame the increased prices on the Iran war 😂

To be fair they currently have no fans and based on recent history it's going to be a hard task to keep it running for a long time. I think fans are just being realistic rather than being negative. Fingers crossed it goes well though...I hope they smash it.

10k!! Fuc#ing hell. How bad is it??

Absolute scumbags . Horrible to see it all

Glad they are running, still a few teams short of a proper league but it's a start..

I reckon that team will finish in the top 5

I haven't really been following much of the championship throughout the winter but I've just caught up on the teams so here it goes... 1. Poole - Who else? No matter what anybody thinks of the side they always end up winning. Also the reserves could be the secret to their success this year. 2. Oxford - Brilliant top 5 3. Redcar - They just build decent sides every year. Really like the Edwards/Jenkins combo, just lacks some support for Wright 4. Glasgow - Unbelievable number 1 and 5. A few riders I've never heard of it in there but I'm sure they'll do well. 5. Berwick - My wild card choice. Morris on that average is a steal and I feel they have 3 genuine heat leaders. Could be a dark horse 6. Edinburgh - A solid side, good strength in the middle but lacks a little spark for me. Feel they may struggle at reserve? 7. Scunthorpe - Not sure what to make of this side, best rider in the league with Pickering which should carry them most home meetings but apart from that I'm not sure where the big wins come from. 8. Workington - A fun team especially at home. I just don't trust Bach and Cook to have the consistency to deliver 9. Plymouth - I actually think its a decent team but I think that every year and they always disappoint. Would love it if they make the play offs but just cant imagine it. Got to say I think all the teams assembled are pretty good. If i was a fan of any of those clubs Id be optimistic of a decent season. This is a really good league this year

Can't disagree with what's been said by the new owner. At least hes acknowledged how bad it's been for the fans this winter. Best of luck to all involved.

This what I was sent a few days ago.

Now even Chris Holder is anti British speedway. 🤣 How negative of him!

I know someone who visited the track the other day and took photos, there's so much work to do from what I've seen

The premiership with 6 teams is still a joke. Northampton have no fans as of yet. These are stone wall hard truths. I'm really hopeful Northampton gets thousands turning up week in week out but there aren't even any fixtures out yet. No advertisement. No news. Nothing told to the locals of Northampton speedway. Just rumours. So the people turning up are already speedway fans but they don't even support Northampton. I'm positive there is a new club, but I'm not exactly jumping for joy either. That's because we've lost so many clubs in recent times. Sorry for the negativity but if we all stop moaning nothing changes. Everything just carries on as normal. The fact that many fans online have voiced there concerns of a 4/5 team league has forced Phil Morris to add a new club. I honestly think if everyone pretended everything is great they would have done a 4 team league. Without us negative trolls things would get even worse. Fans have a voice and I'm using it to force change. Change like Northampton which is great news. Shame this couldn't have been sorted months ago...

Northampton will get decent crowds in season one. Season two the crowds will drop slightly, third season they'll be lucky to get 700 fans turning up every home meeting.. fourth season will be survival. Lets hope I'm wrong .

I imagine it does cost a lot money to be a speedway rider but I also know it costs a fortune to be a performing musician. Which is what I am. I've lost thousands over the years, but I've done it for 15 years because I love it.. speedway riders get paid. Paid well. I don't have much sympathy for a rider like Charles. I do for the younger riders but not the established ones.

They will when they see the crowds dropping again..I know plenty of fans who aren't attending next year. It's sad 😢

Stop being so negative you must hate British speedway! 🤣

He hasn't mentioned Garity yet has he?

How about the Northampton Non-starters?

I really don't understand your reply? What has Stewart Dickson got to do with what I commented? I'm talking about the rent the stadium owner charges per month.
