If Emil's signing means that Ipswich are very successful and make it into the playoff finals, then new people from the area may attend, there's always those fans in sports that only turn up if a local sports club of any kind are successful... And once they're crap again they stop coming Also are the rumours of the returning 16 lapper event true? I hope so, sounds like a brilliant meeting but never got to see it for myself My favourite individual meeting. Loved it as a youngster and still do to this day. Someone mentioned that Louis said at the supporters club AGM that it’s been pencilled in this year and he’ll try to get it sorted, but no promises.

Fingers crossed, I will be making an effort to get down for it whenever it's on, hopefully... Might even have Jason Doyle and Emil in the line up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant see any newbies being attracted because of him. However the buzz from the signing could inject some much needed feel good factor. Crowds of 3000 are attainable imo week in week out with a winning team. I estimated that crowds in the summer were maybe 2-2,500 ? Always tricky as so many sit in the big back straight grandstand but on more than one occasion it seemed to be maybe 30-40% full. I know 3000+ for Good Friday meeting in the early 00s was usually guaranteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Friday seems to always bring probably the largest domestic crowd of the season anywhere outside of the play offs.. I seem to remember over 4000 being quoted, and that wasnt actually too many years ago... With circa 3000 more recently... Used to love the Good Friday meetings - recall before Arena moved to the Elite league - we have 3 or 4TT meetings with Hackney Eastbourne and Rye House and also bank holiday Mondays with a morning and evening tapes up.

I just wish they would throw the boat out a little more and get a new top young euro rider on a 4,, they could also then put the most suited rider to the track at reserve at different venues. Jeeez they’ve secured the stand out performer for the last 5 years or more of British Speedway in Jason Doyle, Kenyan Rew who was highly sort after and I think will end up with over a 6pt average at least as he is that good…. And potentially pulled a blinder in getting Emil…. But you want them to push the boat out? Most people would give their right arm to have those 3 names on the team sheet. You could have the final 4 as 4 clones of Travis McGowan and I’d still be demanding they take my money now to see the other 3 on a regular basis! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon1983 Posted February 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 If this deal falls apart for Emil maybe they can convince Heeps to change his name to Emil Sayfutdinov and then sign him up, technically they would be signing the name they have been after all winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboy cookie returns? Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 Tomorrows announcement bound to be the other rider & not the 2nd heat leader. I have thought the major signing will be held over to next week & if it's Emil they wouldn't announce a Russian on the anniversary or the Russian invasion surely? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
