Certainly one of them and if the club decide to go again with the top two, this kind of signing will be needed. 

Just need to get Barker in for Hume and then Ipswich will be red hot favs imo no matter what anyone else looks like.

Adam Ellis has always had a GSA either side of the 7 point mark until this season, One bad season doesn't turn a good rider into a bad rider imo.

Where has this Ellis to Ipswich rumour come from? Surely not Doyle giving him a lift? Lol. Gotta love silly season. 

I think people are looking for riders who should vastly improve next year to slot in alongside Jason, Emil @ Danny. 
 

on paper Ellis is that man. Not sure why he left Ipswich before but doesn’t really matter it’s history. Being in the same team as Jason & Emil in a track that he normally goes well at should help him bounce back. Ellis is a Ipswich type of rider imo

He won’t get chopped mid season either! The kind of loyalty the Ipswich promotion showed to riders (particularly Riss) this year won’t have gone unnoticed I’m sure.

Hearing that Sayfutdinov, King and Ellis are nailed on.    Could also keep Doyle with something like this potential league winning side....

E Sayfutdinov  10.10
J Doyle   9.12
D King   7.05
A Ellis    5.57
K Rew  4.00
B Barker 3.96
D Thompson  RS  

=    39.80

Would rather have a new foreigner than Barker,,, but we do like to keep regurgitating the same old riders

100% should be the team, if its either rumoured or some clever cloggs has put this together, email it to Richie and Chris asap

If Ellis takes a little while to dial in and Emils average comes down slightly then you could end up upgrading Barker - but we know that's not how the promotion works at Foxhall

Barker would start in the main body but I’d expect him and Rew to swap after the first set of averages. Agree though, that looks a superb team. Pretty sure that won’t be it though.

I don't know if people have watched a different Rew than me but unless he improves his gating his average in the UK will never be much more than a 4/5 imo

Rarely looks like hes going to pass anyone either and that watching him on all tracks even BV which is most like the ones he rides in Poland

I can see your point about his gating. It isn’t great.

Well this season it was his first  season so a little slack should possibly be given,, even though they seemed to race at all the other tracks every few weeks,,, you would like to think he should improve slightly next season,,, although he does seem to have gone to the Cameron Heeps school of gating,, which is never going to help.

Rew  as signed for LESZNO  in ekstraliga so that's 3 ekstraliga riders current rule only 2  so unless it  changes can't be the team :unsure:

Hope not personally,, not worth putting a team together with zero improvement in it,,,thats not how you win.

I agree, but can't see how Hume would be left out given his popularity with the masses - he's an all round good guy, who's a guaranteed 100% trier - irrespective of his results.  Nothing stops him from being liked, even his failures in the Final at Foxhall.

PS: Barker wouldn't be a choice for me either.
