Baldyman Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) So Scott nicholls average has dropped below 6 allowing him to race in the premier next season as long as the rules ain't changed. Could we see him in a witch? Danny and Scott top 2? Or Scott taking over from Danny. Like a few people. Not many 4 want back from this year Edited September 4, 2015 by baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siggytastic Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Would love to see Scotty in the team with King but would the numbers add up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 They could add up depending on who else is in the team. A strong top end and weaker bottom end always seems to work for Edinburgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinMills Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 now that chris Louis has officially failed since his takeover, having failed to rebuild the witches...move up when the time is right...and now have a non exsistant rider base AND fan base, please sell up, move out!...the sooner that happens the non Louis fans (ever growing number) can get back and support the once great witches!!....theres the band wagon, jump on it!! go argue amongst yourselves, chow!!

Hawk127 Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 If Ipswich had been run by the likes of those who have in recent times promoted Peterborough, Oxford, Birmingham and others, speedway would not exist at the Heath. If anyone can afford to step up and guarantee a sound financial base for years to come I am sure both Louis senior and junior would step asidebut given this is highly unlikely, be thankful you still have speedway at Ipswich. Other teams around the country have a bleak outlook so think long and hard before you deride the efforts of the current encumbents. How about laying some of the blame at the inept performances of one or two riders and the fact that that the sport is run by a closed shop and until an independent body is formed to run the sport, the majority will have to put up with an inferior product and those that screw the system and those that play by the rules 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season, we were once again labelled "title favourites", as we seem to be every winter! I honestly don't think Louis has put a poor looking team together since we dropped down and for whatever reason(s), we seem to have underachieved in just about every one. This season I think he's particularly been let down with a few riders that he's kept faith with. We're battling to hang on to 6th and the outcome is out of our hands. That should never have been the case with the team we have. Particularly when we had a reserve "ringer" in Covatti who has put around 3 points on his average! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Top post Hong Kong. And we do hold on to some riders for to long hoping they may get better, but for some reason they get worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countershaftcounter Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Ellis back for 2016 ? That would encourage me to visit the heath a few more times, (only been twice this year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Well said. This season, we were once again labelled "title favourites", as we seem to be every winter!

That should never have been the case with the team we have. Particularly when we had a reserve "ringer" in Covatti who has put around 3 points on his average! Its about time finally that Rohan was let go added to the fact Gino will be unlikely to get a place then thats 2 riders gone with arounfd 13 points to play with? King and Covatti must spearhead the team next season. I have no issue with keeping a fit and healthy Heeps as he seems to miss to much with injuries. The 2 boys at reserve are ok Stefan and Ash, however i think you need a situation where you have a reserve who can go to number 2 and vice versa. Neither of our reserves are good enough to put pressure on Cam, and if somehow e could get in someone who could do that then next season looks a good one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pob Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Don't know about stefan undecided but would be happy with Morris at reserve. King and Covatti yes as a top 2. Tungate sorry not for me needs to learn how to ride when there is grip on the track . Gino can't see him being here next season with all the average rulings he needs. Heeps don't know really a season away could really help him needs an injury free season been far too much stop start past couple of seasons for him. Ellis yes but got to get him away from lakeside to stop the friday night clashes. Going to mildenhall this afternoon to catch the meeting. See how ellis goes and want to see what the young lad Wajtknecht looks like . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 No point speculating just yet as so much could change.
