That’s the problem we have with the cheque book clubs and their win at all COSTS mentality.  We have a pick system in place for the RS process but that gets unfairly circumnavigated by waving £££££ at a rider, thus making the whole process redundant.  The cheque book comes out again to lure a rider who had spent much of the season riding at number one to replace a reserve. To add insult to injury the reserve rider left without a club has to fill the void left my the missing number one.  When we released Tom to Birmingham to aid their team building on their step up, we never imagined he’d end up being poached by a money club. To be honest we shared the opinion of most that Ipswich were perfectly capable of making a strong challenge for gold with their 2024 team (we’ve heard it often enough ffs) but greed takes hold of these kind  and it’s an “I’m alright Jack” attitude. An attitude at odds with UK speedway in its current financial state. It beggars belief. 

Its going to be a struggle to entice 'spectators' on that surface!? I asked the question before the season started....'has the track been well prepared after last seasons yawn fest'? I was assured that there had been loads of work done....what I wasn't told was that the work was done by Stevie Wonder!? Who's going to pay £24 to watch a pile of..... The only positive was that the poor surface levelled the meeting! There's no way Thompson/Jenkins would've out scored Doyle/Sayfutinov on a 'proper' race track! Glad the ref got the BIG call right when Brennan went down....would've been easy to exclude Jeppesen. Fair play to Seth Perkins! P.S liking what I see with Jeppesen....surprise package so far!

With a full strength side I’d be very surprised to see us not hit 50+ for every home meeting, 60+ more often than not. Even Ellis and King are heavy Foxhall scorers.

Gotta be 75 - 15 to the Witches surely
