Don't you just love it. Complaints before the season that Bates would be our rising star. Complaints during the season that he won't.

That will not go down well with Ipswich and wolves fans then cus there already moaning about our guest riders 

Principles and ethics - sadly lacking in many quarters.......

Bit like Ipswich getting a guest for Crump when he was fit to ride for Plymouth on Friday night

He may have been programmed to ride but he certainly wasn’t fit - you could see that quite easily in last week’s televised meeting.

Absolutely  - just because it's my team doing it doesn't mean I try to justify it

I've only missed a handful of home meetings in the last 35 years and almost all of those due to being out of the country but won't be attending this week by choice

Same as when the Witches used R/R for Klindt at Kings Lynn first meeting of season . Shouldnt have been allowed.

Guests have and always been part of speedway.

I have seen Guest riders give match winning performance and some where they have lost matches.

To be honest if Josh Bates is out for the season or any length of time I would prefer a new rising star to replace Josh.

If that was the case then I would go for Connor Bailey or James Shanes.

Technically if he rides for Plymouth then Ipswich shouldn’t be allowed a guest as he’d be withholding his services 

If he is withholding his services a facility IS allowed although he would  also receive a 28 ban

Glad to see your knowledge of the rules is as dodgy as your view of ethical standards :P

James Shanes or Dan Thompson for me!

Just because I didn’t put that doesn’t mean I didn’t know that does it. We’ve had that in the past   Ethical standards ??? You don’t believe we should have a guest for Bates but your fine with a guest for Crump ??? Look in the mirror mate !!

More fingers in ears and la la la

I don't agree with the Crump situation - it's more of the same

As a result of this and the other factors have built up I am not attending so no I'm not fine with it!!

Would Dan Thompson be a 1 star meaning if frees up a bit of leeway for changes in the team ?? 

Still looking for the next angle to manipulate.....

The main team building limit is not affected by the level of the RS chosen - that's only in the Championship

If you want to win anything you should always strive for better that’s what I do with my business and it works for me. Ipswich made changes whether that’s for the better remains to be seen. If you can’t be bothered to attend then don’t let yourself get wound up mate. Chill out. I don’t give a toss about the rules because there too flexible so makes no odds to me who guests etc.

Some people just don't get it and probably never will, sport without integrity is absolutely pointless.

Good for you, but many do and most of those I suspect don't go any more.

Speedway has been like it for years back to Reg Fearman Ian Thomas Len Silver etc etc   It won’t change. I don’t know any other sport with rules as flexible. Until they have an external governing body it will stay the same. So like I say if you just want to watch speedway for a night out socially and accept the rules great. If you want to take it serious and come on here to moan nothing will change. If your waiting for integrity in speedway you will be waiting a long time
