Chris may well have made a well deserved return from his riding days but I would doubt any 'pot of gold' built up would be sufficient to guarantee the tens of thousands per season required to bankroll the speedway club 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ged doesn’t rely on P’Boro Speedway for his source of income Chris. At Ipswich Speedway, What is his main source of income ? Presumably the profits from his engine tuning business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look that way unfortunately. I think a few Ipswich fans are hanging on for an international number 1 calibre rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever Chris 's income streams are, to me it's fairly evident that whilst Chris may draw up a list of riders he would like to ride for witches, it's obviously buster negotiating the terms which presumably is why we are still teamless atm.

Baldyman Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 I'm still alive and well thanks Arch. It's my new policy, if I don't have anything positive to say,, I won't say nothing.

Seems Peterborough's got all the spare dosh for their team It's all about whether Chris needs to draw a proper wage from the club and so making the club less viable given the wage rumours for riders... my thoughts are he doesn't have to rely on income from the club because he'd been a long term international rider and will have other business income....

To be honest it doesn't matter if Ipswich speedway is Louis sole income or not. That should have been taken into account when buster was looking and the buying the club and the budget to run the club increased to allow Louis to take a full time wage if that is required. At the moment it looks like the Ipswich public have been shafted just so that Buster can keep the top flight going. Any positives from when the announcement of moving up was made seem long gone. I was feeling positive back in November I mean moving up Louis in charge with financial backing from buster and a great sponsor I felt sure we could attract a couple to decent heat leaders....... Now it appears the finance is so poor that we won't even talk to Nicholls as the terms are embarrassing! Our last season in the top flight almost finished the club. A combination of top flight politics a weak team which resulted to crowds dropping to dangerously low figures on face value no one seems to have learned from 2010!

I find this rather bizarre comment! Why should Chris Louis forgo any remuneration for his efforts in regard to Ipswich irrespective of his possible financial resources.
