Personally I think he'll do the business this year. Looking at the reserves, I don't see a reason as to why Kemp shouldn't be the strongest reserve in the League. Leicester are my darkhorses.

Chris was probably speaking the truth on the radio at the time because something has clearly happend behind the scenes that's caused a fire to be lighted which has seen a knock on effect at Ipswich from top to bottom. That's exactly what I mean about putting statments out to the fans without an agreement with a buyer in place, You're only setting yourself up for huge backlash if the potential buyer drops out. No point in getting everyone's hopes up for nothing as it'll only leave them feeling even worse than they did when the original statement was put out in regards to a Club sale. Adam Ellis' Dad would know so I think that's a strong indicator in regards to Mayfield Sports being more than the usual gossip.

Different situation to be fair. Ipswich can't do a statement in regards to anything from signings to season tickets like Leicester's statement yesterday until the paperwork has gone through in regards to a sale. Only statement Ipswich can put out is one in regards to a sale agreement which they have done to be fair.

What do you expect the Club to do if they don't have any news to bring? No point in making up a pack of lies in a statment just for the sake of it, Because if nothing comes from it then it'll only end up in a heap of backlash. With patience comes frustration which is understandable but playing devils advocate, Chris Louis updated the fans when an agreement was in place and if it is the highly rumoured Mayfield Sports, Then Chris has stuck to his word all along about leaving the Club in safe hands.

I've put 2 different GSA's down because the rules aren't worth the paper they're written on when it comes to British Speedway. Whichever GSA he's on, The tail end to both Teams would still be Jeppesen, Jenkins and Edwards.

Drew Kemp really has to get his head in the game this year because he's the key rider as to how the Lions season unfolds. Sacrificed Fricke for a strength in depth 1-7 with a view to having a high scoring reserve and if Kemp doesn't perform then basically Leicester have sacrificed Fricke for nothing.

Very interesting side that's either Boom or Bust imo. Everything hinders on Leon and Anders improving on the road. If they do improve on the road then Sheffield are the Team to beat imo, But if they don't improve on the road then it's basically a side that'll do nothing outside of Owlerton. Sheffield are the Team to keep a close eye on for sure.

Jonas Jeppesen would surely have been signed now on his GSA, So I assume he's got a verbal agreement in place with the new owners. Anyone got an update as to what Tai Woffinden has said in the Speedway Star? If the Wolves Trio rumour is correct then we can fill in 2 of the blanks with Woffinden and Becker. 1. 2. J. Jenkins 4.49 (2.5% Discount) 3. 4. 5. T. Brennan 7.05 6. J. Jeppesen 4.34 7. J. Edwards (RS) LEFT (21.12) or 1. 2. J. Jeppesen 4.34 3. 4. 5. T. Brennan 7.05 6. J. Jenkins 3.46 (25% Discount) 7. J. Edwards (RS) LEFT (22.15)

Agree, I think he's a certainty for Ipswich now because I don't believe that promoters wouldn't sign him on that GSA when he's taken the CHAMP by storm and had some impressive scores Away from Home in the PREM riding @ No.3 in 2025 like 6+1 at Belle Vue and 7+1 at Sheffield.

Interesting that Jonas Jeppesen (4.34) is still available. Could the tail end be Jeppesen, Jenkins and Edwards?

That'll give us a clearer picture for sure.

Assuming the Wolves Trio rumour is correct then it'll be a spearhead of Woffinden, Brennan and Becker. Throw in Jenkins and Edwards too.

Picko has just been confirmed as Sheffield's final signing so that adds fuel to the Wolves Trio Rumour.

Picko confirmed.

The two names I heard were Woffinden and Becker but I know the latter is doing 3 Leagues but I'm not sure on the Polish rule for riders who don't ride in the Polish top tier. Like you said, At least we're getting some rumours now which is better than the deafening silence that we've been getting so that's a positive sign.

The rumour is Pete Adams and that he's bringing a couple of former Wolves riders with him to Ipswich. We shall see what happens over the next few weeks.

Same rumour I heard (Pete Adams)

I know you're running, I'm referring to needing some financial help to avoid running into financial difficulty mid-season.

Personally I hope it's all on BSN. I think they do a much better job than Discovery tbh.

It's so frustrating but Chris Louis and Mayfield Sports are doing the right thing here. Just look at Sheffield as an example who jumped the gun only for the investor / investors to pull out leaving the Club in a race against time for some financial help.

I rate him. Just think it's beyond a tough ask for him to ride @ No.6 when he's not even got any CHAMP experience let alone PREM experience under his belt.

He's not granted but what I will say is that Douglas wasn't signed to be an out and out No.1. Stewart didn't want a long tail with Fricke at No.1, King's Lynn aren't gaining anything with a tail end of Paco, Rushen and Scott. Despite Leicester having no out and out No.1, The Lions should be very difficult to beat and score heat advantages against. Basically got..... 2 x Established PREM Heat Leaders (Douglas and Masters) 4 x Top end CHAMP Heat Leaders (D. Thompson, N. Morris, Howarth and Kemp?) I include Nick as he's on a false GSA imo. 1 x CHAMP 2nd String (Gilkes) who's one of the better RS's.

Basically is a No.1 in a weaker League then where the Team Limit has dropped by 3.00 points. More 1st Places than 2nd, 3rd and 4th's both at Home and Away in a stronger League where the Team Limit was set at 40.00.

I personally think KL fans are overrating their own side due to them going with the Young Stars duo at reserve. Granted the youngsters are ones for the future but they've basically got no experience riding at PREM level so asking them to out gate and out race experienced season pro's is more than a long shot imo. Difference between racing against NDL or CHAMP 2nd Strings to riding against riders who ride against top quality opposition week in and week out whether it's in DEN, POL or SWE.

I'm not sure tbh. If riders are allowed to do more than 3 Leagues then Becker would be one of the first riders on the Ipswich team sheet if I was picking the side.
