Allen and Heeps will at least double that between them I fear Having said that, I hope we stuff ya.. I wasn't far out regarding the reserves. Lynn reserves 4 ……. Ippo's 17. So even if Lambo had scored 10 or so, the Stars would have still got their asses kicked. Edited April 4, 2019 by Bald Bloke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89buttons Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Would love to be a “fly on the wall” inside chapmans van on the way back to Kings Lynn tonight positives for all 7 witches tonight, a useful start to the season and great to start off with a win in front of a good size crowd - hopefully just as many of not more will be there again in a fortnight! superb couple of passes from bomber, pure entertainment, and I particularly enjoyed Cameron’s battle and pass over proctor in ht14 Erik Riss has always been good at Foxhall - should absolutely be looking at him for any potential needs for a guest throughout the year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB1 Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 An outstanding performance from all 7 Ipswich riders. All this tosh about a weak side for God's sake givem a chance before we slate people after a couple of meetings. We put the arch enemy to the sword, what more do people want. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 1 hour ago, tellboy said: I wouldn't take to much notice of Daniel,he wants all the East Anglian clubs to fail. Bit miffed to see such a scoreline,but it is early doors.Wouldn't have minded so much if these scores went onto the averages but i don't think they do.If they did i would like to have thought they were average manipulating already,in earnest to make changes for the PL. Anyway congratulations to Ipswich on the demolition of my Stars teamObviously the best team by far on the night.Hopefully we will get some kind of revenge in 11 days time.That will be the first match i will be able to attend this season.Hoping to see plenty of Witches fans there. Not quite right, I want Buster to fail. On paper King's Lynn, Ipswich and now Peterborough are the weakest 3 teams in the league. Many people also agree with that. Do you know what makes tonight worst? Even 2nd tier Leicester managed 42 points at Ipswich 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g13webb Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 I didn't expect the Stars win last night, but I expected better than only 3 heat winners. It appears Eric Riss was the only one to come away with any credit... Capitulation against your worse enemy, doesn't do anybody any favours. Its all very well having all this fitness rescheme and team building program, but the basic element has to be ability. That is where we come up short... The only thing this result has done is confirmed what many of us was thinking... When Lambert has a bad day, we have no backup to cover him...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the loss of 10% of fans from each his three clubs would put an enormous strain on the finances of them ( and perhaps cause disillusionment among his backers ). If the crowd was 2500 I doubt he would regard that as failure.. Lots of local derbies will help this year... As we know, as the season progresses, crowds dip due to various reasons, so having your local rivals visiting for even 'dead rubbers' so often has to be better than having the likes of Somerset and Leicester who have far further to travel.. A drop of 10% will be circa 120 - 150 team absolute tops I would imagine, and is more likely to happen for a mid season meeting against non local rivals. But given the amount of local derbies I can see more than enough people on those nights to minimise any possible losses made.. And nights against Poole, BV, Wolves and Swindon (if) any of those four are flying high will no doubt deliver good crowds wanting to see them.. I am actually quite impressed from a business angle how he has gone about this.... He will know that successful teams don't generate huge crowd increases, with the irony that as all meetings are play off qualifiers, too good a season can see crowds actually dip later in the year as fans know the play offs 'are safe'.. He will also know though that successful teams generate high wages! Alternatively, a poor season will still see the 'die hards' attending and as most tracks the vast majority of fans are these people (and the impact level in terms of actual numbers are so low anyway now), you wouldn't see too much of drop I would say.. As a business plan it has a lot going for it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF the crowd was 2,500 it would indeed not be a failure. IF it was. If the average can stay between 1,000 and 1,500 he will have done well. 7 minutes ago, mikebv said: As a business plan it has a lot going for it.. You may well be right about that but I feel that any successful business owner must engage positively with his customer base ( and not combatively as Buster has in recent years ).

2ndbendbeerhut Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 All of Busters teams look professional, highlighted by the matching suits and covers. Any newcomers will expect this to be the norm but it's the oldies that maybe don't like it? Have to grow and move with the times which Buster seems to be trying to embrace. So for the time being he can only be applauded. Obviously the result from.last night helps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spl77 Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Interesting that alot on this forum myself included point to Poland as the way forward. So when we have a owner who starts to give his clubs a professional image like the Poles do he gets slated. I'm not Chapman biggest fan however I can only admire how his teams are kitted out. Louis has always had his teams well kitted out and the Ipswich website and interaction on social media over the past few years has been great. Up the witches right now the sport seems professional well in Ipswich at least. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember quoting you to say your beef is with Buster, but to want 3 teams to fail/finish bottom 3 is silly.
