Louis is probably just completely pi$$ed off that kno*heads in both tiers can’t run their clubs as well as he can.

Supporters who have been saying “well our league is ok and we’ve already signed this and that rider” need to slow down a little. There’s quite clearly still plenty to discuss according to today’s Speedway Star so any “signings” already made could well end up null and void! Rob Godfrey still talking as if there’ll be two divisions, but if nothing gets resolved to have a viable Premiership then they may simply have to go for one league out of necessity. There’s obviously still plenty to resolve and everything is still up in the air.

I said “wouldn’t” match, not couldn’t flagrag. Good luck to the lad but he owes Chris Louis a great deal of gratitude for helping move his career on an upward trajectory after originally being dumped by Leicester in the first place. There was little difference between the Thompson twins at the time Ipswich signed him. That gap is now as big as the Grand Canyon.

That’s been “done” for a while. Leicester apparently made him a very good offer that Ipswich wouldn’t match. Similar to Rew and Birmingham last winter.

They are. Along with Wright, Allen, Jenkins, Mulford and Edwards. That’s your team.

You’ve missed out Dan Thompson. Blew Ipswich “out of the water” FAO @ouch Just Like Birmingham did last year with Rew. So when good ol @ouch comes out with his usual anti Ipswich agenda this winter about Ipswich “buying” the title, don’t believe a single word he says 😂

Don’t understand the call for one league and losing all the top riders as collateral damage either. That’s a sure fire way of killing Speedway in this country as a serious sport even quicker. Let’s not pretend here that the Championship is a better league, that it’s better attended, and there’s more interest in it. Because that is utter cr@p. The only thing it has going for it is more clubs. You only have to look at the viewing figures on the updates site when Premiership and Championship meetings are in progress to see where the real interest lies.

I wanted Ipswich to win it this year because I’ve felt they’ve deserved to for building consistently one of the best teams, and arguably the best in recent years and been so unlucky for one reason or another. Now they’ve won it, I’m aboard the Leicester train for 2026. Runner up twice in a row, I’d like to see them go one better next time. Make sure to retain Fricke as priority, and work down from there.

I wouldn’t worry. Just been reading on another thread that money isn’t an issue at Kings Lynn so I’m fully expecting the chequebook to be opened and a big hitter signed up at number 1 👍🏻

Good listen that. Tom Brennan absolutely nailed on for next year listening to that, and they do really like the boy Rushen don’t they? “No issue” with getting him kitted out with a tassle clad team suit in Tru7 colours.. Louis slipped that one in. That'll get a few tongues wagging.

One of the nicest fella’s in the sport is Emil. If it’s to be his swansong over here I’m delighted he’s going out happy and with a winners medal. Now won a league winners medal, and a Cup winners medal. Mission accomplished.

You seem really nice!

In your opinion it’s nonsense, in MY opinion, it isn’t. As I said, we’ll agree to disagree. There’s been far too many riders over the years to mention that have come out and said riding different size tracks was good for their careers and improved them as riders. Moving from the NSS would be a breath of fresh air for him. You disagree because you see him as a Belle Vue rider and nothing else and don’t want him to move.
