FOXES v KING’S LYNN, PREVIEW
NORTHAMPTON Foxes stage their final meeting of the season when they host King’s Lynn at the Shaleway on Tuesday (7.30pm).
The match is the last of the regular ROWE Motor Oil Premiership campaign as the curtain comes down on a highly successful year in which the Foxes have regularly played host to big crowds.
That included last weekend’s Tai Woffinden Testimonial which attracted a huge turnout from around the speedway world, and now the Foxes get their delayed opportunity to say farewell for 2026.
The meeting against the Stars was originally scheduled to take place on September 17 before having to be postponed due to track conditions after inclement weather hampered the build-up efforts.
However, there were no issues at the Woffinden meeting and with the conditions set fair once again, everything is in place for an entertaining finale.
The Foxes make one change to their line-up with Sam Masters coming in to guest for the injured Jaimon Lidsey, whilst the other six members of the home side are all able to ride including Niels-Kristian Iversen who would have missed the original meeting after a crash in Denmark.
King’s Lynn name a full-strength side including World No.7 Max Fricke, evergreen skipper Chris Harris, and Czech charger Jan Kvech who won the prestigious Golden Helmet meeting in his homeland at the weekend.
Foxes co-promoter Paul Hunsdon said: “Tuesday night isn’t our normal racenight so it’s a little different for us, but hopefully everyone will turn out in good numbers and we’re looking forward to saying our farewells for the season.
“It’s our final meeting and the weather forecast is on our side, and we’ll be thanking the fans by bringing all the riders out to meet and greet them afterwards as well as the management, myself, Tony (Gaul) and Chris (Adams).
“Then we can start to plan things for next season, and we do have plans to be a force in British Speedway.
“We’re not here to make up the numbers and we want to develop the club both and off the track. It’s been a good first season, and we hope it will be a great second season!”
