No thanks, heeps was far worse than Hume in both leagues last year

The long wait surely signifies the club are trying to get a left signing sorted, wouldn’t be this hard to get worrall and batch signed and announced. Could still end up being them if it doesn’t come off of course but the wait suggests Chris is trying for Emil as rumoured or someone else

I mean bomber was announced as signed for panthers the other year and still moved to Ipswich so I would be so sure… can’t fit holder and Emil in anyway hahaha

Exactly!! Pedersen is like a footballer that chooses to leave studs up in challenges, doesn’t need to but just does. Didn’t need to make contact on the way passed there, you can be hard a leave riders on the bike.

Not unless Emil is assessed at 7.00 we have 12.27 left for last two riders

B - more chance of us getting holder at ippo!! jokes aside if all three were back in uk speedway for 2023 that’s only a plus imo, whether they’re past their peak or not

I think if holder was at Ipswich there would be a friendly rivalry between him and Doyley and he’d press on well tbh

This!

I mean irrespective of whether or not there’s any truth to the rumours I think if it means you’re getting Emil, rew starting in the team is perfectly justifiable

Safety standards in Aussie are crazy low, air fence been mandatory over here for how many years now? 15 or more at least hopefully it’s not as serious as first feared and he’s swiftly on the mend

And if they all continue to improve and then in 12-24 months no longer qualify for the rising star scheme and subsequently the opportunities disappear I fail to see how it’s working, if the bspa really wanted to help progress British youngsters from inexperience to their full potential then they’d make team building limit tighter, that way the likes of mountain and Hume would be attractive prospects as a no.6 having graduated from the rising star scheme.

If neither Hume or mountain have a ride in top flight this season from the start then the rising star scheme has completely failed, two young English riders given an opportunity to gain experience in the top flight, take it and both do very well in 2021, now they’re told sorry lads, you did well but now you’re kicked to the kerb because you’re not allowed to ride at no.7 anymore. how is that helping progress their careers in any way?

Very good side that

That’s magic confirmed as not at pboro then

Same here mate, love having a season ticket and not having to find the money every week but just don’t have the money to shell out on one atm, baby on the way April sadly don’t see how I’m going to be able to afford to get along to many meetings next year, tbf likely miss a couple purely down to the newborn anyway so would negate the season ticket saving anyway

Would love to see covatti in a witches suit again one day tbh, pure entertainment

Except it’s only that far under budget due to Hume getting a 25% reduction, real-time achieved averages it wouldn’t fit! So not exactly that weak is it

Pretty sure it does, belle vue team only fits by virtue of Brennan getting 25% rising star graduate discount, so Hume would be 3.07 doyle 10.32 rew 4.00 king 6.41 zagar 7.20 holder 7.16 hume 3.07 thomas r/s 38.16

Can’t see Craig cook being back at Ipswich tbh, finished 2021 with us, was on what looked like a decent average headed into 2022 and his stock has only fallen… having just looked at starting averages given we were 2.1 points under the building limit we could’ve fit cook in last years team in place of any of batch riss or even heeps, so if Louis had seen enough to want him back at the end of 2021 he would’ve done, be amazed after his 2022 season he now wants him, stranger things have happened but would be a shock to me

Arguably more likely to happen if they’re getting a full season tho, the set up costs with mechanics and bikes is the same for half a season or full season, so prob would be cheaper from the start of the year

One of the two pawlicki brothers maybe…? Not sure if they’d be what we need at 5 but imo Tungate just ain’t it on 6.61

Yep really hope so. Proper number 5 needed! Fingers crossed

Remember Sam Masters on tv after being passed by bewley a few years back was asked about how dialled in the home riders are set up wise and he joked that it’s that and he was beaten by about 15kg hahahah

Tbh I have no problem with batch at all. I find him frustrating, he can be so so good and so so poor and it’s extra frustrating when he is poor knowing how good he can be! would he be one of the first names on wish list no not necessarily, that said don’t really feel it was altogether fair on him this year, he was exposed at 5, not like he’d come to us on 8+ and lost 3 points like before… if he fits into the side as the 4th/5th average and his responsibility was as a second string happily have him back, all depends where he fits into the team, wouldn’t be right to have him back and bung him at 5 hoping he’s going to return to a 2018 troy

Current or coming out retirement again a la crump
