Ipswich 2022


Recommended Posts

Crowds make a huge difference. We lost at home to Peterborough, the track and racing were poor, but I still kind of enjoyed it because of the numbers there and the atmosphere. We could go from one extreme to the other on Thursday though! One of the best non bank holiday attendances in years to one of the worst..

Does Klindt for Heeps actually fit?

No transfers allowed until 25% of fixtures have been raced, but you can change your team before the league racing starts as its a separate competition to that of the league cup

Yes klindt fits,,, just get rid of two riders,,, simple,,, just make sure they are both australian,,, a new euro rider to join him would be okay,,, ask poole/Peterborough how to spot a good one

I think Ipswich have a cunning plan though,,,, don't make any changes,,, lose a few meetings,, then say can't make changes till 25 percent,, then say they have been looking and spent hours on the phone, but there isn't anyone,,,,,then team stays the same,,, Louis and Hawkins and golf club happy.  Then a couple of floppers can be signed on again for next season due to them being on bargain averages

I agree with what you say, their blown the sponsorship money on Doyle if you ask me so won't be making no drastic changes, and will keep with Hawkins golf buddies no doubt:blink:

Yes if nobody else move quickly to make changes :)

I’ve a feeling Lynn would have been making inroads for a while with this. Coincidence that Klindt has now made himself available with Lynn looking for a rider around that average? Could be putting 2+2 and coming up with 5 but I wouldn’t be surprised if this deal is already done. Especially as I’m convinced Louis wouldn’t have been looking for changes after 3 meetings but we’ll see. 
 

If he does go to Lynn, I don’t think they’re any worse off than they are with Iversen, possibly even stronger. They’ll be a contender.

He has become available because his Polish club have dropped him,,, he has now got a lower division Polish team,, meaning he can race in another league if he so wishes

Cheers Baldy. Still think he’ll be at Lynn pretty quickly. Just can’t see Louis changing the team after 3 meetings, even if the rules allow. As things stand, Lynn are the only club that have a vacancy to fill and he fits perfectly. Odds on. 

Would be nice if we for once done something pro active though... Louis is often too nice,,

I totally agree. Would be such a shame to see the fans stay away if the team isn’t competitive after that crowd we saw a couple of weeks ago. The potential is huge here at Ipswich, give the fans a team that can genuinely challenge for the title and they’d be rewarded with gate receipts. I know you could say that about every club, but we remain one of the best if not THE best, supported clubs in the league.

There will be a fair few missing this week from what I've seen. 

What's not going to help is,, first league meeting against a strengthened Belle Vue,, lose that and it will be a case of here we go again. Me personally I would at least try and strengthen,, pull off the win against belle Vue,, totally different story

If this side doesn't deliver then Hawkins has to go as team manager, after all this is his side the riders he wanted to work with & more importantly the riders that wanted to work for him.

So Hawkins will sack himself? 

After all he is Co Promoter at Foxhall, not just TM

I wonder if CL was putting any feelers out for new signings while at the GP last night??:rofl:

He was,,,, we now have a new  Croatian water bowser driver,, but he was obviously told he wouldn't be needed during meetings
