Where did my comment about the weather go? What's the point in this forum if every comment disappears?

It's 3.01pm and it's currently pissing it down.

Very true. Same thing happened to the Monarchs last year.

Less than 2 weeks until kick-off! I can't wait. Good line-up for the Ben Fund too. I just hope this bad weather won't continue until the end of March and we have lots of sunshine on the 28th

Northampton is a great example that setting up a speedway club isn't like planning a space mission to Mars it actually can be done without too much fuss if most of the infrastructure is in place. It reminds me of Linlithgow in the 90s and how a local garage owner built a track on a plot of land and before you knew it a hundred fans were attending each week. Granted, the racing so great, as it was even below the modern day NDL level but it was an enjoyable way to spend the afternoon. If a local farmer can be convinced to part with one of their many fields and are paid a small monthly fee, a lot of them would probably jump at the chance of an easy income and piecemeal set-ups like Linlithgow and Redcar can start to come into existence. After all, farmers are always complaining how farming generates no income at all now so why not open these kinds of dialogues?

If speedway manages to get even half the amount of supporters that the stock cars get there then the new club will have no concerns at all and will be a successful addition to the top flight.

Ever since Abba

Bit of a width apart there...

You must live in Shangri-La where the police bother to track down certain groups of people after they've committed crime 🙃

Should make for an interesting reserve duo 😁 Lee was a great character though and he's a loss to speedway. Hopefully he will make a return one day even if it's just to the NDL to help along the young riders.

It's not a bad team that's shaping up down Scunthorpe way considering that they have a (very good) rider taking up a quarter of the average space. Plus, it leaves room for both Max Perry at reserve and Worrall to come in at 5 if he decides to race this season, leaving a team which looks like this; Pickering / Harrison / MPT / Mountain / Worrall / Perry / Ingram

You mean like the miracle of 2024 when Scunthorpe won nothing? Or the miracle of 2023? Or the one in2022? Or...

Max Perry

Probably an average of around 4 or 4.5. He's certainly the one under the most pressure imo.

I don't think he could fill the Hydro
