Crazy robin Posted November 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Id say that would be a very minor consideration. There would be many other good and more relevant reasons. Like what?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Can they only come back up if they are not going to be competitive then? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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....

hagonshocker Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Heard various stories about us and Doyley next season but I would be mightily pissed off if we decide not to use him next season as opposed to he not choosing to ride for us again...massive mistake if that happens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 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....

Not that he would want to - you dont have the success he has had by making business decisions like that 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orion Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 If the fixed race night's will be Monday and Wednesday how are Swindon fixed because dogs are on both of them night's??? How did we run our home plays off matches if dogs are on a Mondays night ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 (edited) If the fixed race night's will be Monday and Wednesday how are Swindon fixed because dogs are on both of them night's??? 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.

89buttons Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Im sure Doyle said a little while back hed only do uk if next year if its a fixed race night so thats probably why rosco being coy on him being in the team next year.
