As stated by 89Buttons, selective quoting at its most political. Their fine reply also highlighted that, although BV *had* to release a rider, Cook ... a constant improver, fan favourite, and winner of the Alan Wilkinson Team Man of The Year Award ... rightly can feel as if he's been dispensed with.
-
The subtlety of 89Buttons' reply has obviously gone waaaay over your head. Ipswich did not dispense with Rew. As stated by Chris Louis, it was mostly Rew so, in the end, a mutually agreed decision. If you have evidence otherwise, please tell. Hint: It makes sense to click on "Quote" when responding - then it's clear who you are replying to.

What are you replying to?

From 500 to 505 ... unless they publish actual attendances, any such statements are irrelevant.

King's Lynn Stars 2025

Cook will need support while he's at #1, so Lawson is the obvious choice for #2 because he's already very familiar with that position. -
Doyle said that if he didn’t have an operation and then allow the shoulder to heal, he might not be able to even pick up a beer as he got older …

Watling JCB is a franchise dealer - although it supplies worldwide.

So, what actually, have Ipswich done wrong - and how do you know?

Technically, the Final set of Green Sheet averages is for the current year ... it's the only set that is relevant to 2025 team building (for those who rode in 2024).

What a load of tosh! The 2024 team was clearly good enough, and injuries did ruin chances* of winning the play-offs - stated clearly by many fans, not just of the Witches. Of course, you can never say that winning the playoffs is nailed-on. Even so many favoured teams have seen their chances spoiled by injuries - it's the one aspect of play-offs that speedway is unable to cater for.
-
Cup and play-off fixtures don't count in the Green Sheet averages (that's because teams compete in different numbers of Cup and PO) . However, the figures shown by BluPanther are for 2024 Prem matches, which are not the Green Sheets - the Final set of which can be found on the BSPL website under "2024 Declarations".

Only a small number of riders ever become World Champ. I said that riders develop at different rates, and it's clear that some reach higher levels than others ... and of course, some don't really progress, but are happy to keep plugging away. I think Jenkins could still become a much better rider.
-
Riders develop at different rates ... Jenkins looks as though he could make excellent progress ...we shall see.

Thanks. I didn't realise that the riding order for the Final had already been determined. -

Good candidates who didn't complete the season ...
