BartoszZmarzlikFan Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 Klindt will be staying at Ipswich imo. Nicolai has made it public that he wants to honour his contract at Ipswich. Crumpy will surely get the chop on a 8.00 average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have made it public saying he wants to honour his contract but does the club, or does Nicolai know he won't honour it and was trying to gloss over to look good to fans etc. Crump does look likely however on average but commercially perhaps sponsors have put more money into the club based on Crump riding, and does CL believe Crump will put more bums on seats at Foxhall, I am sure non Witches fans would travel at least once if they live local-ish just to watch Crump ride if their own side isn't running in the Premier League. It's going to be very interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've started a topic on Troy Batchelor too as I don't see how Troy or Crumpy are going to fixed up with such a low points limit being set with clubs also being loyal to most riders signed for the cancelled 2020 season.

Nicolai is mustard around Ipswich too so I cant imagine Chris Louis picking Crump over Klindt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ipswichwitches Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) So, I'm sure I read it was 6 man teams next year, but re-reading the BSPA site, it says Premiership clubs will build their teams up to a combined average of 35.5 for six riders plus a British youngster graded four and below. So that means 7 man sides. Making an assumption that Crump will unfortunately not ride here this season and Kemp will be the British youngster: King: 6.66 Klindt: 7.43 Heeps: 6.30 Allen: 5.56 TBC TBC Kemp: 3.00 That's a total of 25.95, leaving 9.55 for the final 2 places. Plenty of food for thought there. Edited January 21, 2021 by ipswichwitches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 I'm guessing for a club like Ipswich, it's going to be more about bums on seats than a winning team this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand As a supporter i like to see my team win everything if they can.Now if i was the owner i would want to make money first and win something second.As a business you always want to run at a profit don't you?There is a fine balance though as some supporters will only turn up to see a winning team.So while wanting to make money you also need a competitive team to get those extra supporters through the turnstiles.
