Spedeworth were contacted direct last week about the PA on the back straight and the lighting and the instant reply was that it was an Ipswich Speedway Promotions issue and not up to Spedeworth to resolve. Cited were siting issues which The Presenter had already spoken to the Massif about.

 

Now it has been suggested that CL is not selling up. Well of course he is not the Promoter, he is the Director of Speedway and there is a subtle difference and you may find that there are more fingers in the pie within the promoti

For your information Chris Louis is the only director of Ipswich Speedway promotions Ltd which stages the Speedway at Foxhall Stadium

On the S.C.B website both John and Chris are listed as promoters. Two promoters is not unusual at any one club some even have three. Just download club officials from S.C.B. website. This was last updated 9.9.2016. A few snippets from Speedway Star interview with Chris says he took over the main running of the club five years ago. Also Chris says talk of any takeover is news to me. The reports of a possible radical change to how British speedway is run in 2017 is limiting his planning for next season though. Speedway star September 3rd page 29. Hope this helps guys, remember until something actually happens in speedway take what you hear with a pinch of salt.

He is the promoter surely? Or at the very least co-promoter

Thanks Mick for the clarification.

 

I was simply going on the info I have, how CL signs himself off on emails and the Club website which, as baldyman has said, lists JL as Promoter and CL as Director of Speedway:

That's my concern, something has to change but I don't think the promoters have the guile to carry it out. Unfortunately as I see it, apart from some tinkering I wouldn't mind betting that British speedway will be exactly the same set up next year as this year, and we will still have the same problems. Oh and the obligatory claim from one team that they will fold without backing, last year it was scunny this year it looks like it will be workington.

I see that Danyon's NL CMA with effect from 01Oct16 will be 7.33 compared to Darryl Ritchings 7.04.

 

Dan started 2016 on a NL CMA of 3.79.

 

The lad has made terrific strides this year.

 

(Connor Coles will move to a NL CMA of 7.11 from 01Oct.)
