TTT

That's not bad considering everyone else is naming a full 1-7 before we've officially announced 1 signing. After other clubs announce signings you get to know what's left to work with in the end by the process of elimination.

Good side that. Better than Belle Vue's imo. I'd place Leicester just behind Sheffield as things stand.

Yh.

If Richie Worrall doesn't get announced for Ipswich then would anyone take this 1-7? 1. Niels-Kristian Iversen 2. Richie Worrall 3. Benjamin Basso 4. Rohan Tungate 5. Chris Holder 6. Ben Cook 7. Jordan Jenkins (RS)

Won't fit. Allen is going to Leicester apparently.

Can't remember who it was but yes someone on this thread said he wants 5k a meeting. Silly money isn't it?

Ipswich imo. We wouldn't build a team (2.33 points) under the limit to fit him in (Assuming Andersen is in)

8.47 left after Andersen (Assuming he's in) Riders with GSA's or Assessed averages that would fit are the following. New 8.00 Assessed rider to British Speedway Anders Thomsen 8.00 (Former Panthers rider who doesn't ride in Sweden so he could fit British Speedway into his diary) Martin Vaculik 8.00 (Bjarne Connections and Martin doesn't ride in Sweden either) Patryk Dudek 8.00 (Open to riding in the UK for 5k a meeting apparently) Rasmus Jensen 7.86 (Already riding in 3 Leagues but that rule might not apply to riders outside of the Ekstraliga) Kenneth Bjerre 7.75 (Was the rumoured rider to complete the side but he's not coming over apparently so we'd be relying on him to do a Basso) Martin Smolinski 7.56 (Could fit UK racing into his diary) Matej Zagar 7.20 (No contracts signed for 2023 yet)

Doubt it as he would be doing himself out of a job entirely if he wasn't at Peterborough. I think Hans is 100% in tbh as for Zagar he'd ride for anyone if the money's right imo. Bit like Mourinho who said he'd never manage Tottenham and he did lol.

Fully agree. I think Zagar will be the final member and it'll be a team under the limit personally unless Bjerre does a U-Turn like Basso.

Your not the only one who's got the same thoughts after reading that article as well as Peterborough's Tweet earlier saying thanks to MPT, Harris & Nicholls. I've had a gut feeling all winter that Hans will be back for a likely retirement year.

No need to panic. Flappy's 4 lock signings haven't signed elsewhere so that speaks volumes about 2023 team building as well as the clubs future imo. We've just got to have extra patience this winter and then Michael Tomalin will announce the full 1-7 in one go imo. Never know we might even get some announcements at the Quiz Night.

Might have half a chance then if Guy Nicholls is prepared to pour money into the club. KK is costing Lynn 20,000k apparently so god knows how much Emil would cost.

I could be wrong because I don't have any ITK info, I'm just going on my own personal opinion and I find it a really tough sell in today's day and age even though I do hope he's at Ipswich as it'll be good for British Speedway in general. Cost of Living going up and 2023 ticket prices will go up could even see a drop in attendances next season imo, Just for example say you get 1,000 people turn up for a Home meeting but 600 of those have paid for a season ticket in advance, Total paying customers on the night would be 400 and that figure wouldn't come close to covering the cost of Doyle/Emil on a weekly basis.

They'd go bust mate. British Speedway doesn't get the attendances to have an Elite 1 & 5 pairing. Paying customers on the night don't turn up for regular league meetings if the weather forecast is dodgy and they don't turn up for meetings that are televised either.

I doubt that will even save them next season tbh.

KL are the dark horse for 2023. It's one of those teams that is sneakily good and it'll go under the radar imo. No big name GP superstar in the side but it's got solid scorers from top to bottom just like the Peterborough 2021 side.

Agree. Lots of good riders fit with Tungate, Best ones being the following riders. Przemyslaw Pawlicki 6.75 Michael Jepsen Jensen 6.52 Timo Lahti 6.47 Kacper Woryna 6.36 Vaclav Milik 6.34 Krzysztof Buczkowski 6.02

No. PK 7.10 A lot of Poole engine room assets would fit though.

Zagar + 6.20 or Tungate + 6.81 Probably the latter considering Rohan is 10x better around Peterborough and he'd be cheaper than Zagar.

He's in apparently. I'm just using riders off the list from the 2022 Final GSA's to show what's left.

Think it's obvious that Ipswich' final three are Batchelor, R. Worrall & Riss Allen -> Leicester NKI, C. Holder, Basso, B. Cook & Jenkins -> Peterborough Ellis -> Sheffield Only other riders left who would be available to ride in the Premiership from the 2022 season are the following. Matej Zagar 7.20 Rohan Tungate 6.61 Craig Cook 5.05 Hans Andersen 4.93 Jye Etheridge 4.76 Stefan Nielsen 4.53 Connor Mountain 4.51 Justin Sedgmen 4.44 Ben Barker 4.42 Cameron Heeps 4.18 Danyon Hume 4.09 Paul Starke 3.53

Batchelor, R. Worrall & Riss -> Ipswich Allen -> Leicester NKI, C. Holder, Basso, B. Cook & Jenkins -> Peterborough (One of Zagar or Tungate to Peterborough as well imo) Ellis -> Sheffield List of Riders left who are available to ride in the Premiership from the 2022 season. Matej Zagar 7.20 Rohan Tungate 6.61 Craig Cook 5.05 Hans Andersen 4.93 Jye Etheridge 4.76 Stefan Nielsen 4.53 Connor Mountain 4.51 Justin Sedgmen 4.44 Ben Barker 4.42 Cameron Heeps 4.18 Danyon Hume 4.09 Paul Starke 3.53

Me too.

KL 1-7 as expected.
