Ipswich 2015


Recommended Posts

I certainly don't think the fans are fed up with the premier league. And it's not as if louis has put together bad teams either. Maybe a couple of different riders to the ones chosen may have made a difference.

Totally agree, fans are just getting fed up with Speedway and It's silly rules. They don't like the fact that our No 1 rides for someone else sometimes, the club would probably be dead had it stayed in the other league. Every year we've put together a decent side, but certain riders haven't lived up to expectations. Certainly not about money either, we've gone out and got the best "available" No 1 for the past 3 seasons, also persuaded young Aussies (which I'm sure others wanted) to come to us. But sadly Rohan, Gino and Cam haven't progressed, injuries to Cam and Gino have certainly slowed their progress, or maybe (like many other riders) they get so far, and that is that.

Well gino won't be in the UK next season, so that's one.

Although there has been nothing locally to confirm this.

I did however see a story from a national newspaper online link quoting Gino as saying he wont be back and he plans to regroup at home next year with a view to coming back in 2017.

So that's why he's been busy dropping his average.

has not quite got the right idea though has he - should only be dropping his average if farmed out to our nearest rivals.

Thats another thing to add to the list that the Monarchs do better than us!!

Yep - just waiting now for Derek Sneddon & Aaron Fox to roll up for the weegies next season!!

Unless you want to swap one Land of the Free man for another!!

 

Mind you Cookie was doing a bit of average reduction earlier in the season as you saw when he was guesting for you but then saw the light.

Now it's Smiling Sam who is doing it - under 9 at the moment!

If Ipswich do not make the play offs how about one more meeting being a handicap pairs meeting with the riders from Mildenhall or any NL team pairing up with a witch and in each race the witches rider starts off on a 15 MTR handicap. This would give fans a chance to see the type of riders coming through the ranks and also provide a good old fashioned farewell to the witches riders. Perhaps Chris Louis could ride a match race againt Mr Tatum for the 'king' of Sky presenters trophy. Probably a daft idea but with all that is wrong would it not be nice to finish a season as many teams use to with some light hearted fun and games.
