When Jason arrived at Ipswich in 2022 it got me & a few others who had become once or twice visitors to going to around half that seasons home fixtures. The last two seasons with Jason & Emil we have been pretty much ever presents accept missing meetings due to holidays. Those two have had a massive impact on Ipswich speedway & brought the feel good factor back.
Because if Hawkins is here then it makes it almost a dead cert King will be back & in the interest of both parties King needs to be elsewhere next year.
First job for Ipswich is to retain Guy Nicholls after that I’d retain
Jason, Emil , Rew Thompson & possibly Ellis depending on numbers.
Replace King & Hawkins
It appears that the Doyle deal is done.
I’m not convinced Emil will be back appears to be a choice between the UK & Sweden. I think that will come down to what works best for him & his family. The only thought I have is will he decide that there is unfinished business & commit to a 3rd season as a Witch. I really hope that we see the third instalment of the Jason & Emil show.
I’d certainly have Rew & Thompson back & if the points allow also Ellis. Jenkins was also showing some good form before his injury so I guess he is a possibility . The rider that they need to nail down early is Brennan massive improvement to come next year & a real racer.
At the moment it would appear it’s a choice between England & Sweden for Emil next year. Hopefully he decides to come back to England we all know if he does it’s 100% Ipswich. Part of me thinks that he’ll decide on Sweden however I also get the feeling he knows that there is unfinished business with Ipswich. If he does return then I think next year will be he last.
Sorry but I have to disagree. Danny was protected at number 2 tonight & failed to beat an opponent. In heat 8 he just had to ride the line instead he went off line in to the rubbishe & fell. A 5-1 there and the pressure is off. Time & time again when you need a big ride from King it doesn’t happen. Jason & Emil have in the main masked this however plenty of Ipswich fans have been vocal about him going missing at vital times for at least the last 2 years a point proven again tonight.
Kvech & Rew are both young & learning while riding in heat leader positions King is the experienced rider who was protected at number 2 and failed to beat an egg.
