From what i have heard, just last week it looked as though there would be no more speedway at Ipswich this season, however rumour has it that a successful businessman has stepped in, and is on the verge of a deal with the Louis'. This would make sense as to why Ipswich Speedway cancelled their press release, as this businessman obviously came along and in effect "saved the club". Ive heard that this has secured our place in the Elite League! :) But i await confirmation.

 

There's been a local buisnessnan wanting to take over at the club for a long time,as I added in another thread,he'd be great for the Witches and it would be a very positive way forward no doubt,maybe a fresh approach with a big push in the PR area in the local newspapers and even a slot on the local Radio would generate enthusiasm no doubt,

 

Things have definately gone a bit stale at Foxhall;the Louis are not to everybodies taste I think it could do with someone lkeable who knows their way around the Speedway scene,maybe with a bit more charisma too,a previous sponsor turned them down but hopefully the sums will add up with whoever they are talking to and Foxhall will gain a new addition,Im not saying theyd come in droves by the busload from all over the show but fingers crossed we'd see higher attendances

Or, another version is the press release was about the club being sold to said businessman, but last minute conversations elsewhere fell in favour of the Louis' which enable them to stay in charge. Many many different stories knocking around and the sooner this is settled and out in the open the better for all concerned.

 

Is the journalist Mike "37 point limit" Bacon ?

 

Have you a link to Witches Forum ? I found one, but it was full of BNP crap !

I agree. A local businessman is just what the club needs, and i hope that these rumours are true. So hopefully now (Or after the press release is published!) we can concentrate on getting a decent team out for next year. I still can't see Scott Nicholls coming back myself, but i'm keeping everything crossed!

Bob Nicholls runs Bob Nicholls Motorcycles and is an uncle of Scott. Guy Nicholls is the owner of the Trucks R Us empire (with its many branches). He is a cousin of Scott (although Guy is not Bob's son). Dave Hunting indeed used to be the owner of Hunting Hire, a business that he sold many years ago. Mr Hunting is now virtually retired, so I doubt he would be in a position to acquire the club. Nerve jangling times for us Witches fans, let's just hope whatever the next week brings it brings a viable solution for the continuation of speedway at Foxhall in what would be the Clubs 60th Anniversary year, having been originally formed in 1952

I might be missing something here Presenter but 1952+60 = 2012, next season is 2011?

 

I expect I'm wrong though apologies if I am :blink:
