But we’ve already been told we’ve signed riders. Just because none have been announced doesn’t mean riders haven’t signed on. 

Louis likes to reveal the full 7 in one go. 

That as maybe but I am looking at the riders that have already been signed and there isn't a lot of quality left

With NBJ a 5 pointer and Allen 4.56, the top five would be 5 to 7 pointers. It’s looking a bit Rye House.

And look what happened to them !!! Only saving grace is it’s busters money he is going to lose. 

Im convinced this move is a absolute disaster and will end in Chris Louis taking back control in 9 months time.

Sceptical of this move to take Ipswich up, although I probably think in the right conditions the Witches natural place is in the top flight!

Looks like Buster bought Peterborough and Ipswich in order to keep the top flight going. 

I can only see a conflict of interests cause Buster doesn't like Ipswich so he won't want to see Ipswich outdoing his beloved Stars. This will surely hinder Louis's team building efforts. Say for instance Louis somehow managed to convince one of the top GP riders to join would Buster want to finance it when it would be costly and might propel the Witches above the Stars. Also if the Witches start of poorly, and Louis has to make changes and manages to convince one of the Worlds top riders to join mid season to help a late push for the play offs, will Buster again sanction such a move which could force King's Lynn out of the play off picture?

With both teams now likely set to share the same racenight, will Buster worry that some fans may chose to go to Ipswich instead, if the Witches were doing better with a more exciting team?

 

All I'm hoping for is that Ipswich are competitive and that admission prices aren't pushed up to much!

Actually a team ranging from 4.5 to 7.5 looks more like this year’s Poole than Rye House! So maybe not too bad.

We know we have Nicholls King Lawson Heeps and Allen...... who are the other 2?

I’m sure supporters at other clubs will look at those and have a chuckle, BUT,  (Allen aside as for some reason I can’t remember how well he goes) all those go very well around Foxhall and would help us be competitive at home at least. 

Fingers crossed Louis can come up with a couple of heatleaders that will help us be competitive on the road too.

We don’t even know Louis even made that trip. The interview in the Ipswich star he said he was going “next week”, which was last week. He hadn’t gone by last Wednesday evening. 

Maybe he went Thursday or Friday :P

Or he cancelled as another move went belly up 

I’m beginning to get impatient now I must admit. Seeing the Panthers releasing names and good ones, isn’t helping. 

Maybe something this week...:rolleyes:
