That seems pretty desperate! 😂

Paid 8 and three paid double figure scores in his last four visits, and he’s FIFTH in our averages.. Have to be targeting two league victories there.

For a 5-6 point middle order rider, absolutely he does!

It’s a solid enough team, but I agree with an earlier poster, not sure it’s a play off one and it’ll depend on the make up of the Oxford team for that 4th spot. This is probably Ipswich’ best away fixture. Emil and Doyle drop very few points here, Ellis goes well here and now so does Brennan. It’s actually King’s best away track also so this will be by far their biggest home test.

Every rider that signs comments on how much Ipswich is the most professional club they’ve ridden for. Not some of the riders, literally ALL of them. that’s no coincidence. Everything that Chris Louis does is to a high professional standard, from insisting not only on the now mandatory team kevlars, but also matching bike livery and fork covers that some clubs don’t bother with, To hiring professional photographers for pre-season photo shoots in a studio and making sure the social media accounts are properly run. He also makes sure every rider is paid bang on time. He’s hired people (at his own expense) who are experts in their field, to source and recruit sponsors and partner sponsors to help fund the club and allow them to be ambitious in providing a team worth watching. It takes effort and commitment, that Chris Louis has no problem doing. If every promoter and club acted in exactly the same way and showed the same effort and commitment to the sport in this country, then the sport here would be in a much healthier position. Any criticism of Ipswich speedway is wrong, and completely misguided.

And here he is. Took him all of 20 minutes for his anti Ipswich bullsh!t. Bit slow actually!! Expected better.

Ipswich are building to the exact same points limit as Belle Vue. And everyone else come to that. as Taps rightly says, if money wasn’t an issue Keynan Rew would have been in the side and King wouldn’t. Your anti Ipswich agenda is quite frankly bizarre.

I never said all seven were Brits did I Geoffrey. A shock to absolutely nobody that you can’t read because you’re as thick as mince. To help you a little, I’ll repeat what I said. FIVE Brits in the Ipswich septet, is damn good going and lovely to see.

Possibly, but you never really know. The same was said about Heeps back in the day, and more recently, Drew Kemp. Might still happen for Kemp as he’s still young enough, but the signs aren’t great. Fact is, Rew still spent most of this year at reserve and still averaged less than both Ellis and King, and King spent a large part of the season riding injured!

You could have yes, but that wouldn’t be wise would it? That’s why you’ve made the change you have, it’s suits your club. As for “poach others”, your team has poached Zach Cook that Birmingham pencilled in to their team. You’ve done that out of pure self interest, because it’s a change you simply had to make. As said above, if you really wanted to be helpful, you could have not signed one of your top three and helped others below be more competitive. But you haven’t done that have you? Your club acts no differently to Ipswich or Sheffield. All three clubs have retained their top heatleaders, which is their right to do so. Perhaps you should be congratulating Ipswich for being loyal to riders of this Country? Five Brits I make that in the Ipswich team. Lovely to see. How many have Belle Vue got?

Expected, but awesome news. 6.8 left for final rider….😁

There’s no way he really believes the drivel he comes out with so he’s blatantly fishing for bites. Stop jumping straight in to his net 😉 Everyone is fully aware Belle Vue do what’s best for Belle Vue, just like every other club.

You didn’t but it’s blatantly what you’re fishing for you can see it a mile off.

It was Arch. They won’t do two tomorrow so one is being held back until after the conference in case they get shafted. That’s if they even do one tomorrow, might leave two. If they do announce one more tomorrow, that’ll tell us everything. If it’s Doyle, why would they leave Rew as the last man until later next week? More likely to leave a new man as the final announcement. If they announce either Rew or Brennan tomorrow, then they may as well announce the the last rider because everyone will know it’s Doyle.

Maybe Ipswich are doing as they’re told… Tolley may have given the game away.

Neither are at Belle Vue.

Hmmmmm. Something has gone wrong somewhere. Either Rew is giving UK a miss, or Brennan is now staying at Birmingham. Jungle drums had Brennan in, but now out. Let’s see.

Wrong, yet again.

That doesn’t sound like a signing either. Maybe it’s true and Jack has done a u turn..

You were confident last year! I’d wait until the team is officially announced before either lamenting it or singing its praises. Always the best way.

Wasn’t it this time last year you were all convinced you had Harris and Lawson before they ended up elsewhere?

Dan Thompson has revealed he’s changed clubs in the Championship so won’t be at Plymouth.

Dan Thompson -25% was an absolute must. The only way we were going to squeeze in the team we have. We’re effectively over the limit from the start.

Thompson in particular will add a point as an absolute minimum, due to being on a 25% reduction. He’s also back at reserve rather than at number 2. Brennan will be riding in an easier position than he was at Birmingham where let’s be honest, he was carrying the team until Freddie arrived. He won’t get near the 1 or 5 berth with Doyle and Emil in the side. Expecting big improvement from both, as well as Rew. I don’t really understand Col’s point about lack of improvement in Doyle or Emil either. Of course they won’t, and they’re not expected/needed to. They’re points scoring machines, they do what they do at the top of the team on a consistent basis. It’s the younger riders lower down that you want/hope for improvement from, and we have that.
