Like what?.

All and any other aspects that go into a rider contract.

 

Your comment was the only thing attractive to him about signing for Ipswich would be locality - which is wrong.

Doyle to Ipswich is what I hear

That's the same Ipswich who for years dragged down the quality of the EL before they finally jumped ship down to the second tier. Now rumoured to be coming back up with no less than the world champion leading them - I certainly hope not! :mad:

Life moves on and circumstances change -perhaps.

 

We will all find out soon enough how much substance or otherwise there us to it.

Can they only come back up if they are not going to be competitive then?

Only allowed to be cannon fodder it seems - and people wonder why many Witches fans would be more than happy to sit tight in the Championship and let the 'big boys' get on with self destruction....

They were cannon fodder for years because they kept putting together poor teams, lowering the points limit, poor team, lowering points limit etc on the basis that they couldn't make it pay. Now they can apparently with potentially the most expensive rider in the league.

 

I would be very happy if Ipswich stayed where they are in the second tier too!

Agree if they decide to weaken the teams just to allow one or two teams in, we had enough of that with Eastbourne for a period.

But still not in a relegation position twice like a certain other team. 😛

 

Of course there once was a rule introduced that if a team used the same riders all season with no changes that team could be retained the following year. The idea being to allow continuity and encourage other teams to build up to the strong.

 

Then 1998 happened and that was quickly discarded....

But then you cant complain if the new boys try to attract the top riders - perhaps we should only be allowed Robert Miskowiak and the like again

Ipswich have a very wealthy sponsor now though that loves his speedway..that could make a lot of difference.

One that if he wanted to could buy the whole league 10 times over..

 

Not that he would want to - you dont have the success he has had by making business decisions like that 😆

How did we run our home plays off matches if dogs are on a Mondays night ?

The dogs race at the moment starting at 11am and finishing at 2pm on a monday, so we can race but prep time on the track could be difficult if we have have bad weather during the afternoon.
