And what exactly is the financial mess at KL? Have you thought that Buster may need to liquidate some of his assets and/or move actual cash into the club, to dig the club out of the mess it has clearly been left in? This is not the work of a moment. The "incompetent fool Chapman" has kept Lynn in business for over 30 years, and saved Peterborough. This is not speculation or hear-say it is a fact. Yet many on here want to see him out of the sport... and for who? Nobody is queuing up to buy these clubs, there's some show ponies who are talking the talk, but when push comes to shove are not walking the walk Good luck with that then, Chapman has said publicly he hasn’t the money. Which probably means he doesn’t want to chuck money down a big hole that he’s created. It’s a bit like the arsonist trying to slack out his own fires! The whole situation is an embarrassing self inflicted shambles and if it wasn’t so serious it would be a joke! Just when you think it couldn’t get any worse it does. What the tv company and other stakeholders make of the situation is anyone’s guess. Sure they won’t be happy and laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all he could probably buy it with the sponsor money that he apparently hasn't paid, after falling out with Buster. Short term that’s all well and good. It puts out the immediate fire but any business needs to be profitable to survive and to thrive. He gets bored/frustrated and it’s back to where they all end up.

He said that he was passionate about PB and was a winner. Did he really think he would be able to run PB at a profit? Not for me. It was more like a play thing imho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that time we have had Rickardsson Gollob Louus Loram Nicholls Doyle Sayfutdinov etc We have also traditionally had great levels of support with arguably the largest consistent attendances of any club We have been fortunate with great sponsors even before Guy and TRU from the likes of Woodward , Sackers etc Ipswich is currently very stable and secure but have won pretty much eff all It could get worse if Lynn and Peterborough close , a team finishing bottom in the records that had Doyle and Sayfutdinov in the side is unthinkable really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok BB, so we will see BUT as the owner of KL he should not have given Brady so much power and control, a very bad move by Chapman. Similar error of judgement at PB and buying all them duff engines with BSPA emergency fund money, I could go on!!! The big problem when dealing with a proven liar like Chapman you just don’t know what is true and what is a lie so to be on the safe side you just take everything he says as a lie.

Roger Jacobs Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 4 hours ago, Daniel Smith said: That's correct, Louis no longer owns the stadium do they? I think Speedworth bought that? As a new owner, you're probably just purchasing the bond, licence, assets then may be £20k for the name. £50-£70k all in The stadium is part of Foxhall Heath, which is owned by a group of people. Spedeworth have been the leaseholders of the stadium since it was car racing only, and Louis rents it off them for speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich speedway limited is the original company from the 50’s. They are a collective of individuals who formed the stadium. when Deane wood took over spedeworth (stock cars) he tried to buy the stadium and did reach agreement but the deal fell through as a couple of the consortium wanted more. Deane was responsible for the extensive improvements which were very welcome including the two massive seating areas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
