Well I must admit I'm now getting frustrated with it. 

I think there’s one, possibly two riders that interest both our clubs and that could well be part of the hold up from your side. From an Ipswich point of view, you don’t sign a 6th rider if the 7th isn’t also sorted because that obviously reduces your options for the 7th rider massively. This Emil saga could well be the reason it’s holding things up from your end as well as ours, riders may be playing the waiting game before committing.

Yeah it's a numbers game as we all know and Worral for sure or even Batch will probably end up getting a gig at either Ipi or Peterborough when it's all finally sorted.

We're bang in trouble now imo.

We're not in a rush to get team news out despite the season starting in March and that makes me think Andersen & Worrall are both in and that the club want to shift as much season tickets as possible before they announce the full side.

No need for the delays to be this lengthy unless it's a complete let down that could hurt the club in the pocket imo.

What you think and what happens are 2 different things ,why do you think we’re in trouble signing riders ,and where was it  said officially  that panthers were gonna announce a rider today( see it posted on here) so it must be true lol

I honestly don't think Tomalin would stand for that tbh

I think we've got 7 riders signed for sure but the delay in announcing them is just making me have some negative doubts regarding the 1-7.

It's coming across like they're not in a rush to announce the side but they was in a rush to release season ticket details.

Maybe I'm just reading too much into things, But for me if the team was a title challenging team then surely you'd want to announce the signings at a rapid pace in order to maximise season ticket sales?

I can't work it out tbh unless as mentioned panthers and Ipswich are trying to bring in riders with shall we say a bit of baggage to sort

I do think the Emil rumours are true tbh, For example if we was fighting over someone like Chris Holder then the matter would've been resolved before Christmas imo because it's only a simple decision that Chris would have to make whether he wants to ride for Ipswich or Peterborough.

Someone's probably trying to get him in on a 5 or a 6 point average;)

You seem to assume that visas/work permits are not a problem?!
