Ipswich 2019


Recommended Posts

Christ are people actually clamouring for the signing of Campton because he’s rode the track well a few times? Campton is crap. The amount of stick that superior riders get on here from Ipswich fans like Heeps and Covatti who they don’t want back, and then mention Campton as a possible signing? LOL oh boy you’d love Mason Campton. 

Mark Riss rode Ipswich well before they signed him, do you want him back next year? Thought not. 

Normally I always say you start with your number 1 and then work down, but when a talent comes around like Kemp, you rip that strategy up and get him signed first. Then move on to your number 1.

Jason Doyle seems to have been linked a few times with Ipswich for next year. I'm guessing just crazy rumours! Kemp has definitely got to be first name on the team sheet which ever league Ippo are in. You'd like to think he is signed up already.

Could be just rumours and people putting things together being hopeful - but the facts are Guy Nicholls is a sponsor of doyley in gp and he lives in Norwich so we’re his most local track which could be a positive in terms of travel for home meetings.

To be honest I thought Norwich was a lot closer to Lynn than that...my bad.  I knew I should have gone to school. 

Yup really not a lot more than a fag paper in it! Either way both a significantly closer than Somerset/Swindon his home teams of recent years!

Kings Lynn is closer by half a mile. In all serious if Ipswich move back to the 'top league' they need to be competive not really achieved what they dropped down a league for ie winning trophies and building the asset base. 

To be honest I don’t really the big benefit of this whole asset base thing anyway times have changed - winning trophies yes and having a talisman such as Doyle spearheading would certainly be a good start!!

So Drew Kemp is a Ipswich asset. Confirmed by CL on the Ipswich star website. Good news

Can't get the video to load, either from the paper's online version or the twitter feed:sad:

It's some pretty honest stuff from Chris. 

Agree and interestingly he appears on the side of the supporters when it comes to so few fixtures. One point that I think he is spot on about and that is the bikes need to be more rider friendly. For someone who was a very good experienced and skilful rider to almost say the the bikes today would not be for him I think sums up why you have gate and go. The bikes are simply too unpredictable for general close racing. I really believe that he may be a loan voice at the top table which is a shame.

Yep, doesn't work for me either.

Im glad he still seems to have the enthusiasm for it - you couldnt really blame him if he felt enough was enough

Has put together very good sides, worked hard on the track and put people in place to improve the online/social media structure

Overall Chris has done most things right and generally any negatives have come from forces outside his control
