Out of interest, who would people prefer out of Emil or Dudek? 

Dudek because Emil wouldn't have raced competitively for almost 2 years.

Both could be a bit hit or miss over here though imo considering they both lack experience on British tracks.

Either would certainly be the most interesting signing Ipswich have made since Gollob in 98

Let’s be honest you wouldn’t be upset with either! I’d probably go Dudek just. 
 

Always been a fan of his style and has the best looking kit in the business. Not that it matters with these new daft boring team suits!

The team suits and matching bikes is one of the few things British speedway does well and gets right. No team in any sport in the 21st century should be wearing kit that doesn't absolutely match.

Personally I like the team suits but I like when the riders get to have a bit of their own personality with their bike colours, but it's all down to opinion I guess

When u put it like that ...Yeah your right ..Why would he come over ..When there is so much money on the table at home ....

And some contracts (maybe all?), contain a clause that any injuries sustained in other leagues will result in no payments and/or return of monies paid up front...

Was it Nicki P that published his with that clause in it a couple of years ago?

I never got to see John ride, but from what i see from the comments on twitter he was a real superstar of his day.

He was. Rode in four world finals finishing as bronze medallist in 1975 (4th 5th and 6th in the other three). World best Pairs Champion 1976, three times World Cup Winner (72, 74, 75) British Champion 1975 plus many more titles. I recommend his book 'A Life in Speedway.'

He was an exceptional speedway rider, one of the very best and very capable of coming from the back if he didn’t make the gate.

I'm sure it would depend on the rider, I'm sure if Zmarzlik said to Lublin he wouldn't sign a contract saying he'd have to pay a fine if he got injured & missed matches, they'd change it sharpish!
