It's all about whether Chris needs to draw a proper wage from the club and so making the club less viable given the wage rumours for riders... my thoughts are he doesn't have to rely on income from the club because he'd been a long term international rider and will have other business income....

Thanks Mungo, that's another lot of income, anyone know of any other biz?

Has Chris Louis really got no income other than Ipswich Speedway? Of course he has, a long term international rider......

It's 100% worth staying imo....

One man doesn't make a team! If you'd have been at the after match press conferences you would have heard how important the 'team' ethic and spirit is ....

Who reads the Speedway Star and EDP then? As you well know and what Robin tries to do is have all media outlets announce news at the same time.

Sounds like Matt has been paying himself plenty out of the club and the rich sponsors making up the wages of the riders.....

So you don't think Chris Louis has Ipswich's interests at heart after all the years his family have been involved with the club?

Chris was always gonna be in for some abuse by selling to Buster but it will pass no doubt, for the Suffolk fans it's like selling their soul but as long as the Louis are involved they'll be ok ......

Not to mention a nice big deal from a TV company so plenty of money to invest in their clubs ...... they have fans who are proud and love their clubs, good job given that plenty of money from any 'council tax' type payments they make goes to their clubs! Can you imagine that happening in the UK!! One day that will change in Poland 100%!

ALL HAIL THE POSITIVES BLOODY CAN'T BELIEVE anyone can be negative after last year, OK so we fell at the last stages but hell they tried even if injured and with riders who perhaps didn't give 100% like our own guys. ROLL ON THE 2019 SEASON!!!

Depends as always.....

I so much preferred the whole team announcement/fans forum myself but of course the drip feed announcements are better media wise, let's show some patience and look forward to them, it's a human virtue they say

You mean our guests? Dale chose someone who had just recently had a great meeting for us at Lynn as a guest, so he thought he could rely on him again to do the biz but unfortunately not, not against Poole! Our injuries caught up with us too. Also had we not had EVERY DECISION go against us at bloody Poole the score would've been VERY CLOSE and may just have gone our way, their 8 man team at Poole and the injury to our man on a mission that night made our job very difficult, in my mind it will always be Poole's hollow victory It's unbelievable that you can pour blame onto Dale and the team for our loss, you'll never be satisfied!!

100%!!!!!!

Sounds about right to me, they have to cross the t's and dot the i's before announcing anything...

You'll be fine, Chris Louis still in charge. And anyways Buster isn't Norfolk born!

God you lot need an injection of enthusiasm, hope you get it with a few signing announcements, the management holding a fans forum would be great too.... I understand you're tentative re the new arrangement, guess I would be, but you have speedway at the showground for another year, that's great, particularly our derbies

Do you know exactly what went on between Buster n Jonathan then?

We're gonna have to do something special before the first home and away meeting, a sort of welcome back, let's get the thinking caps on

But the Polish Extraliga is marvellous with it's 8 whole teams!!

Probs one of Brian Griffin's ideas, everyone seems to forget his input...

The saving grace is Buster isn't born and bred in Norfolk lol.....

I know our rivalry is tops but hell you must agree, isn't it fantastic that we're gonna be racing against one another again and that we have these young, local guys with huge talent to support

Of course, it would almost be like Robert signing for Ipswich, jeeeeez!!
