Santa will bring you Tungate.

Can’t see it happening, so many riders on way lower averages that ride Foxhall better, got to be strong at home - if we can’t get a top rider for no.1 better off packing the team and being strong throughout than signing a rider on higher average that’s not that good around your home track!

He left as a disappointing inconsistent no.5 in championship so can’t see him being our no.1 in prem! It’s is silly season after all tho so we’ll see I suppose!

Rohan doesn't want to be at Ipswich, Chris doesn't want Rohan so we will probably end up with Rohan. If we sign a rider who would only ride for us as a last resort it would be over before a wheel is turned. Pray for a big name ladies and gents we have a good sponsor and as good a crowd as any team. Lets start positive thinking and make it happen :D

What big names are there that we could possibly get? Zagar, Pedersen are the only 2 that instantly spring to mind

Is it that Ipswich have been slow out of the blocks or are there other reasons that would explain why they are in this situation . I do hope  you can find those riders that will make your side competitive but the signs are not looking too good at the moment.

Of course riders like Zmarzlik, Dudek, Janowski & Woffinden are non starters. Think Rohan Tungate is Ippo's only realistic option.

I hope its not too late to apply to rejoin the Championship then :)

The more little snippets that come out the more it appears that the move up was very last minute. 

Therefore most riders already had deals lined up just needed the AGM to rubber stamp a few points. 

You would have though lessons would have been learned from the dross that Ipswich put out on 2010 when crowds fell away and almost finished the club.

I think alot of us thought that Doyle was coming after the announcement that Ipswich were moving up. 

It's been suggest that money was an issue which should make all Ippo fans worried about being able to attract top line riders.

Given that we have one of the best sponsors assuming that Guy who also sponsors Doyle stays involved and some of the best crowds in the country.

Lets hope you can get some decent riders signed but as It,.. see you were in the same boat as Peterborough with elevation to the premier league roughly about the same time, certainly the other 5 clubs had an advantage tying deals up before Panthers and Witches even knew which league they would be racing in though.
