So what has happened for Kevin boothby to give up the lease at mildenhall ? Is it financial issue or is he just cutting back due to ill health ? and what’s happening at Oxford regarding the lease. The

That’s because the BSPL announced Ipswich were running and not Chris Louis who apparently was rightly furious

Why on earth did they announce it if the deal wasn’t finalised.

Great choice. Sharp gater and a big track rider.

Do you mean Emil sayfutinov? just because you have unfortunately lost your team don’t allow your bitterness to bring my team down.

I’d rather have a junior than tungate. No doubting his ability but his attitude stinks

For me for speedway to survive and thrive into the future is to have credible 2 main leagues of equal amount of teams. promotion and relegation between the leagues. One up and one down. play offs in division 2 for promotion and playoffs in division one for relegation. whoever tops the table is league champions. im the top league every meeting should be meaningful wether you are fighting relegation or trying to be champions. in the second division the battle is for champions and the playoffs would decide promotion if you could get a tv deal and decent sponsorship for the leagues the money should be divided up into prize money depending where you finish in the league. a extra payment would be given to the promoted team to assist them in transition to the top league. a credible league could attract good sponsors and a promotion and relegation battle would make excellent tv.

Years ago when you became a number one at division two you would move up into the top division and become a number 7 at your new club imo when the promoters changed the natural progression ladder it all went downhill.

Maybe ray Morton

That’s why Ipswich didn’t retain Rew. He wanted same money as Doyle apparently.

Couldn’t agree more. the press release had far more questions than answers. Told us how many ndl teams but failed to name them !!!

Absolutely nothing regarding a short medium or long term plan. Just another sticking plaster on a gaping wound. the good ship speedway titanic is on its way to the sea bed while captain Godfrey has his fingers in his ears while ordering master bates to rearrange the deck chairs.

He is back

It’s incredible how badly BSPL treat their customers. Absolutely no information whatsoever or a timeline for an announcement.

What are people’s thoughts on Rob Godfreys tenure leading the BSPL ? is he the right person to lead the sport out of its current top flight mess and if not who would you like to see as a replacement ? my personal opinion is we need a change and my shortlist would be Phil Morris Matt ford or Peter facenna.

He wouldn’t be as brennans average is higher

He wouldn’t be as brennans average is higher

Musielak as the +1 would fit nicely

It will always be compost corner to me

The original intention was just for British youngsters to gain top flight experience but self interest ruled and it became a free for all

And even a huge influx of cash will only delay the inevitable. we need a independent body with a long term plan. Two divisions of similar size with promotion and relegation. two of British speedways successes are Team GB and BSN. Both nothing to do with current promotions.

Another view is he could have continued and lost enough money to not be able to continue in 27. maybe the bombshell has just been dropped 12 months early. The end result is still the same.

Would YOU be prepared to underwrite any losses that Ipswich speedway incurs next season. ? We already know that £60k needs to be found to replace the tv money. A new air fence also needs purchasing too. less fixtures with a much weaker product and more repetition is going to lessen income too. oh yes I’d definitely risk my house for it.
