Rasmus doesn’t want to ride in the uk, pboro tired him months ago, I think the team will be 

NKI,Andersen,basso,worrall,holder,cook and jenkins. 
I know it’s under the limit but I think tomalin genuinely believes it’s a fantastic team that will challenge for the title. And if he’s got it in his head that it’s a good team of course all of his press and tweets are going to mimic that, 

we tried jensen, dudek,Bjerre, Thomson, lindgren, lindback, MJJ, woffinden, and loads of other young poles but they said no. Mainly due to the cost of having a UK set up and all the flights etc, most would rather have 1 said if bikes on the continent and race Poland/Sweden Denmark, 

nicki P said he will gladly ride in the uk for pboro or Ipswich but he wants nearly 4k a meeting 

Yes it's a good team except for Andersen

Yeah your right ...he may think its a fab team .but is it ?????

I don’t think it’s thAt bad, Andersen was using the same engine for Plymouth and pboro last year, it clearly worked way better on the smaller tracks, this year he’s got pboro and his polish club which are both big tracks, if he gets his engines firing he will be good for 6 or 7 a meeting at least. 
I honestly can’t see them making a change to the seven they have signed before the season starts.

Nothing deluded about it! You’re hoping it’s delusion because the ONLY set of fans that want Sayfutdinov here are Ipswich supporters. All this “I really hope he does come cos it’s great for our league but I just can’t see it” is complete b0llocks that most of us can see right through! 

I really don't think that's true, surely the majority of folk who attend the six other Prem tracks want to see Sayfutdinov ride when Ipswich visit? Why would they not?

Makes you wonder why he was using the same engine for two completely different tracks…..

Some riders do,,, Danny King for example,,, some riders don't have a big track or small track engine,, but often have an engine set up more for slick or grippy tracks,,, but like I have just said,, some riders use the same engine everywhere,,, just alter gearing and jetting and wheel base

Impossible to put a number on it, but there’ll be supporters that don’t want their rivals having such a coup. No doubt about it. They’ll know who they are because they’ll be smirking reading this. They’ll want Ipswich signing a couple of duffers make no mistake.

It’s competition at the end of the day. If Emil suddenly rocked up at Peterborough would I be pleased that they had him and that I’d get to see him at Foxhall as an away rider? Not particularly, I’d rather they signed Andersen and Worrall :D

If Ipswich sign him and do a 1998 again it would grate a bit of course but at the end if the day there's a bigger picture, he'll put bums on seats and make the league stronger, I'd much rather see that personally. I can remember him coming to Lynn with Coventry in 2011, the place was packed to the rafters.

Oh I agree he’ll put bums on seats definitely, but I still wouldn’t want to see him at Peterborough. Nicki Pedersen would do the same, but I wouldn’t want Peterborough to sign him either.. I’d still make sure I was there to see him though 100%.

Whether you or Tinywhatshisface from 6 finger land who continues to stick his fingers in his ears and go blah blah blah and pretend it’s all still rumour with no substance, the fact is that Louis is actively trying to get this deal done. 
 

Whether he’s ultimately successful is neither here nor there and won’t prove you or anyone else who maintains he’s “definitely not coming” right. Louis will know more than you on what this deal needs to get over the line, and the fact he’s still actively pursuing it tells you that he believes he can get it done. If it was black and white with little to no chance he would have moved on to someone else, that is currently NOT the case. 

Maybe there isn’t anyone else hence why he’s still desperately trying to get this one done. Good luck to him, he’ll need it.

Peterborough fans don't really have much to worry about, in terms of machinery the riders will be riding, Tomalin ans his investment won't just go into the club, it will go into his riders to ensure they have decent equipment, the only worry the fans have is the riders not performing on it

Andersen i think its ok to give the benefit of doubt for a poor season, judge him afresh after a handful of meetings in 2023, nobody is privy to everything going on behind the scenes which can play a part in poor scoring.

Besides its what team finishes the season that is important, and some riders will be available later in the season when changes are ready to occur 

Peterborough with the financial backing will be a very attractive propositon to riders, shame they didn't have Tomalin on board and announced it at the end of 2022, reckon more riders would have held out for a spot (shame the stadium availability played its part there).
