Be ahead of the curve and maybe not go on a radio station after the season finishes and tell everyone you’re building a strong team for next year, that would have been a good start. And then over Christmas period and new years say you’ll have news a few days, then say maybe a few weeks, and then still give no statement two weeks after that statement. Mayfield yeah? Same rumours of a consortium of Ipswich die hards people wrote about here? People love a good gossip with no factual backing behind their words just look like they are actually in the know.

It’s Godfrey

As per statement on British Speedway website:- All NDL regulations are subject to SCB approval. As part of the British Development regulations, all clubs not competing in the National Development League must participate in at least one of the following alternatives during the season: National League Riders Development Individual, Midland Development League, Northern Junior League, Second Half Open Invitation or a standalone British Youth Championship Round. Now I wonder when such previous like statements have been made and not adhered to?

Leicester didn't have any news to report, yet issued a statement yesterday.

What do you expect the Club to do if they don't have any news to bring? No point in making up a pack of lies in a statment just for the sake of it, Because if nothing comes from it then it'll only end up in a heap of backlash. With patience comes frustration which is understandable but playing devils advocate, Chris Louis updated the fans when an agreement was in place and if it is the highly rumoured Mayfield Sports, Then Chris has stuck to his word all along about leaving the Club in safe hands.

I can’t believe people are on here still second guessing what team Ipswich will have when the club has treated the fans like something off the bottom of their shoe with little updates of any significance. I’d be more inclined to say I’d boy-cot the matches if they did run than just pretend everything is rosy and play ‘guess the line-up’. This has left a massive sour taste in my mouth over Ipswich and the entire speedway scene, no updates from anyone and British speedway happy to announce rider signings as if everything is normal, if Ipswich just collapse then these signing will be for nothing for the other teams. Absolute joke. Rant over enjoy your day people!

I've put 2 different GSA's down because the rules aren't worth the paper they're written on when it comes to British Speedway. Whichever GSA he's on, The tail end to both Teams would still be Jeppesen, Jenkins and Edwards.

Very sad, came to the Bees when we were rubbish. He rode really well for the bees for one season before the Olsen era. Always a pleasure to watch race. RIP

Kemp should be the strongest reserve in the league.

Drew Kemp really has to get his head in the game this year because he's the key rider as to how the Lions season unfolds. Sacrificed Fricke for a strength in depth 1-7 with a view to having a high scoring reserve and if Kemp doesn't perform then basically Leicester have sacrificed Fricke for nothing.

Jenkins doesn’t have a 25% discount 😅

Very interesting side that's either Boom or Bust imo. Everything hinders on Leon and Anders improving on the road. If they do improve on the road then Sheffield are the Team to beat imo, But if they don't improve on the road then it's basically a side that'll do nothing outside of Owlerton. Sheffield are the Team to keep a close eye on for sure.

Jonas Jeppesen would surely have been signed now on his GSA, So I assume he's got a verbal agreement in place with the new owners. Anyone got an update as to what Tai Woffinden has said in the Speedway Star? If the Wolves Trio rumour is correct then we can fill in 2 of the blanks with Woffinden and Becker. 1. 2. J. Jenkins 4.49 (2.5% Discount) 3. 4. 5. T. Brennan 7.05 6. J. Jeppesen 4.34 7. J. Edwards (RS) LEFT (21.12) or 1. 2. J. Jeppesen 4.34 3. 4. 5. T. Brennan 7.05 6. J. Jenkins 3.46 (25% Discount) 7. J. Edwards (RS) LEFT (22.15)

It is depressing to see only six teams now at this level in the league. Like said in previous posts this league is to nurture the next generation and talent. There are not enough riders in the UK and there are many reasons for this but with the NDL and the Midlands/North leagues that have ran in the past it is giving youngsters that opportunity to get into the sport Like other posts have said I cannot see why all teams cannot at least run a second half type meeting after the main meeting if they do not want to run a full time team at this level as again it will give youngsters a chance and most teams would be able to run a short meet after the main if they cut out all the time wasted

Agree, I think he's a certainty for Ipswich now because I don't believe that promoters wouldn't sign him on that GSA when he's taken the CHAMP by storm and had some impressive scores Away from Home in the PREM riding @ No.3 in 2025 like 6+1 at Belle Vue and 7+1 at Sheffield.

jeppesen will be a steal for whoever he signs for

you better hope you get new investment with that team

Interesting that Jonas Jeppesen (4.34) is still available. Could the tail end be Jeppesen, Jenkins and Edwards?

Kemp completes the Lions line-up.

If he is half the rider he was on a low average( second string) he has got to be worth a punt

Always very sad when speedway loses one, a wee bit before my time but a very under-rated rider. RIP Bob....

Only just seen this, always sad when speedway loses someone, or anyone suffering a loss myself having just had to deal with a close family member pass away. George rode in the very first Hull Vikings match at The Boulevard for Sunderland Stars in 1971 I didn't go, parents not interested & apprently too young to go alone. Is it true George achieved his 'Gentleman George' nickname as he was well-mannered & spoken & never deliberately did any untoward on the track ?. RIP George.....
