Not sure where you’ve got that from he was very good at Foxhall back in the day. Last appearance was back in 2010 where he scored a full max.
-
I was being sarcastic. It isn’t Belle Vue or even Scunthorpe anymore judging by last season. TBF he was actually decent at Foxhall a few seasons ago.
-
Looks to have a very similar style to Danny King. Looking forward to watching him.
-
Should have gone for Jake Allen instead..

Leicester lions 2023 (PREMIERSHIP)
Steve Irving replied to PhilTheAce's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Seems like a load of old excuses to me sorry. He showed promise a few seasons ago, but like Heeps, seems to now be stuck in reverse. We’ll agree to disagree. -
Probably, but how long do you wait? Riders want security and contracts signed. While they’re farting about with the ownership they’re in danger of losing riders they’ve agreed deals with.

Belle Vue thought the same and look how that went. Allen seems to have taken the same route as Cameron Heeps, down. -

You seriously need to get over your infatuation with Jake Allen! What is it with you and him? -
Not a chance they chuck him in the 1-5 so him being at reserve completely rules out Hume. You’d assume they have the full team in place if they’ve named the reserve.
-
Then we’re obviously completely different kinds of people. It’s rude, and disrespectful.
-
Literally every race every meeting here he gives it his all. Not only is he a points machine but he’s hugely entertaining with it. Committed, dominant AND entertaining, what more would you want?

The world number 10 was the standout rider in the Premiership in 2022 and he revealed how a press day encounter gave him some extra motivation to score well for the club. “I had a funny encounter when I first signed at Ipswich, on press and practice day one of the trackmen said to me ‘welcome to Ipswich, we didn’t really want you as a number one, we wanted Chris Holder but hopefully you can do your job!’ That sat in my mind a bit“ What a thing to say ffs! If you’re reading this and it was you you’re an absolute bellend.
-
LOL a typical response from a fan of another team that hasn’t signed him. The same always got trotted out when Leigh Adams, Jason Crump and Hans Nielsen had similar averages. Doyle is unlikely to improve that average no, but don’t pretend you wouldn’t love him leading your team. He’s outstanding in this league and your response comes across as pure jealousy. Enjoy KK.

Peterborough Panthers 2023
Steve Irving replied to Flappy's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Tungate has signed. -
Ipswich had the best value season ticket out of all of them. £205 for 12 meetings, meaning an entrance fee of £17 instead of the £20 for paying on the day. Just don’t be ill..
-
Sorry we’ll agree to disagree. At a time when EVERYTHING is going through the roof price wise we can’t expect Speedway promotions not to increase their prices when they’ll also be seeing increasing costs themselves. I don’t believe it’s just laziness, it’s a case of needs must. I’ve already said Sheffield’s price hike is excessive and they’ve taken a big risk there, a £3 increase is surprising although they were a pound cheaper than everyone else last year at £19.
-
I won’t! That’s a 100% increase! I always popped in and grabbed a box now and again as I pass the place on my way to work. I now refuse to pay 2 quid for somethings I paid a quid for weeks earlier. They went up overnight! Like a lot of other things. Speedway is different, an increase to 21 quid from 20 isn’t anywhere close to 100% increase is it, in fact it’s minuscule. Don’t really understand anyone happy to go and pay 20 but refuse to go at 21. We don’t yet know what the Ipswich prices are and it might in fact be more than a quid increase. Sheffield’s price hike of 3 quid though will certainly test a few that’s for sure!
-
Can’t expect prices NOT to go up unfortunately. Literally everything has gone up. Box of Maltese’s used to cost you a quid in b&m a year ago, it’s now 2 quid. Cost will have gone up for the promotions too let’s not forget so an increase is to be expected. They have to still pitch it right obviously, but it’s a shame that some will unfortunately not be able to or willing to, attend like they used to.
-
Has Louis pinched another rider from under someone’s nose? Did it with Batch last year..
-
Unlikely! Louis doesn’t seem to look further than his own back yard for riders.
-
Do you want your club to win anything or not? Being “fair” on the lad and putting him back in for the reasons you state is exactly the reason why Ipswich haven’t won a pot for donkeys years. Hume as a senior reserve spells nothing but disaster. Both Leicester and Peterborough offered deals to Hume so he’ll get fixed up but I’ll say this now, whoever signs him as their senior reserve won’t win a bean regardless of who is in their top 5.
-
Sorry Skidder.
-
Rides it as well as anywhere else. Louis also said he didn’t want him gone more than a year, two years max. May have changed his mind of course. That’s another myth. He’ll go where he’s told. Riders don’t have the power people think they have. Harris had no desire to move to Foxhall after he’d agreed a deal with Peterborough a few seasons ago, but he had no choice. If Louis wants Kemp back at Ipswich as the rising star then he’ll be at Ipswich.
-
Never thought I’d see a post from you without your usual half dozen exclamation marks!!!!!!! You feeling ok? Horrible habit you’ve got there.
-
Then he can’t be in the side. If Ipswich go with a rising star plus Hume at 6 then they’ll finish bottom.
