Racin Jason 72

2019. Trained hard and got fit and put two points on his average 2021 started overweight and dropped two points and gets sacked twice and was very lucky to keep his place at Kent. winter of 2021 told by management where he needs to improve and all are confident press day 8 months since he stopped racing with plenty of time to train and get fit when will the penny drop ?

Do we know if Adam has committed to a full season ?

Looking at the press day photos 6 of the 7 riders looked like they have been training hard over the winter and look like athletes which most riders are nowadays. there was one exception. Answers on a postcard

Well done Birmingham. Great team which should be challenging. new air fence and completely newly laid track. New team sponsor. The promotion have ticked everything single box. just need the crowds to come.

Providing he likes golf obviously

Thomas Jorgensen maybe

I’d go further and give kids season tickets to every school in Ipswich and surrounding areas. With maybe after every 5 meetings the parents get half price admission. it’s called promotion

You are giving him far too much credit. We are 2.5 points under the points limit to start with !!!! if we had signed a 6.5 rider instead of starke which would enable heeps to start at reserve we would have been up there with Sheffield.

I see admission has gone up to £20 this year. Is this good value for 15 heats of racing ? However if this includes a junior league meeting of six heats then I think it is a reasonable price but what concerns me is that the premiership was supposed to have a junior league last year but it never happened. Here we are with p&p this week and absolutely no idea if this league is going ahead and who will represent Ipswich!!! rumour had it that your premiership 7&8 would head the team which would be excellent and worthy of staying to watch rather than wobblers.

Vissing is a decent signing. Certainly much better than I anticipated but a much needed boost to the top end of the team. the last two signings are going to be very interesting. the promotion have certainly invested in the track and new air fence and hopefully will get a good crowd for the Coventry challenge match. if the weather is good and the racing decent then that will set things up nicely.

Yet another mad pointless idea. Bring back choose the rider via Twitter

I’m guessing any work permits and visas will be delayed as I presume officialdom will be focusing on helping Ukrainian refugees quite rightly

Rules out Klint too

If it’s a Aussie I think it will be Braydon maguiness.

It’s Gary o’hare and Tony Atkins

Surely Laurence has decided from the 6-8 riders he is considering which ones are going to complete the team. will jan graveson be coming out of retirement ??

So is it completely flat like a German track or do you mean it hasn’t a negative camber as Rye house used to have ?

The speedway star says they are talking to 6-8 riders but are just deciding which are the best options. now I know the management have to stay and say positive things but this isn’t 1977 and your customers are not as gullible as they were back then. surely you know exactly how many riders you are talking to and as there are no other team places it’s Birmingham or nothing. Simple as that. Maybe they are awaiting visa or a sponsor license but if that’s the case why not say so !!!

Another worry I would have if I was a brummies fan is absolutely no news on any sponsors either existing or new ones. Especially as the promotion made it clear when they took over how crucial this would be to survive

In today’s Speedway star Laurence is just deciding on his options for his strongest team !!!! So a announcement must be fairly soon plus he is quoted regarding the mildenhall 2008 team that it wasn’t a bad team this was the team than won only one cup fixture all season. I remember a press conference at the start of the season and we had heard kaj laukkenen was only going to start the season and leave when his other commitments got busier. laurence told the crowd that it was untrue and Obviously that did happen come may

If you can’t attract gappmaier then you really are in the mire.

Maybe the club are in the process of gaining a sponsor license to enable them to sign work permit riders. This could be a plausible reason for the delay.

I’d completely agree with that. He had got 13 points at home against wolves before that crash and was really starting to look like a number one.

I don’t think there was any contribution from Birmingham in this weeks speedway star. Now every other team in the championship has finalised their teams there is no competition for riders. It’s Birmingham or nothing it’s looking likely that josh Auty will be at number one. Gappmaier may be a possibility and after that I’m struggling to see who could possibly be a potential signing Maybe Justin sedgeman or brayden mcguiness

Buster would be wise to invest in proper fish and chip fryers like mildenhall have.
