So it’s almost certainly this..

Doyle

Rew

King or Ellis

Brennan

Emil

Dan Thompson

Jenkins

Either King or Ellis fits under 40 due to Dan’s 25% reduction. Really isn’t much between them so either or for me, not really fussed. It’s a title winning team either way.

I can see Ellis replacing Ben Cook at Aces and King staying with the Witches…

I've got the same two 1-7's down as well as B. Cook being your final KL rider.

Brennan has been signed up, but I'm hearing that it's Danny King who makes way for him...

If they do drop Danny for Tom then it would remove the last “club man” they had and provide a clean sweep on how to buy in a winning team. Cherrypicking at its finest. They should adopt the cherry as their emblem for 2025.

He has a massive chip on his shoulder when it comes to Ipswich for some unknown reason but try not to bite. He’s also very wrong. Unlike his club that dumps young British riders (Connor Mountain) in a desperate attempt for silverware, Ipswich are well known for being loyal and standing by their riders even at the expense of success on track. There isn’t another club that would have stood by Erik Riss all season long whilst suffering with long term illness which almost certainly contributed to losing the title in 2023.

Ipswich aren’t “dropping” anybody. Every rider is out of contract on October 31st.

If injuries don't strike again then Ipswich stroll to the title.

Basically a 1-7 that's stronger than this years 1-7 that was firing on all cylinders where's other teams will be weaker by having to release riders.

Klindt never rode for Ipswich due to COVID 

Joe asked to be dropped 

Jordan got injured 

and you have forgotten tungate and whoever he replaced  

heeps was given more chances than most but he can’t control his weight. When he trained hard with Nicholls he was nearly a 7 point man in the premiership. 
very talented and determined rider but could have done so much more.

Klindt wasn’t due to covid in 2021.  Ronan replaced the injured Riss. 
Wasn’t sure about Jordan but it’s difficult to keep up with all the changes.

It’ll definitely make the play offs but then anything could happen. You could say, lose your number 4 to injury who had scored paid 19 at a track that season only to see his replacements score 3 and gift the opponents a bye to the final.

Along with his parents. A meeting was held with all of them and Ipswich did the right thing. Joe was struggling to score a point home or away and was so down it was making him ill.

Not good for the rider when that’s the case. Connor Mountains last seven meetings for us were a really struggle. Aside from 11 from 7 at Oxford he was averaging less than 3 points a meeting with a point of that being gained by defeating our RS. Torrid time for the lad and as with Joe it’s good to give them time away to regroup.
