Fullmax Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 What a fantastic team Ipswich have assembled. The type of team that'd get you off your backside and want to go and watch if there visiting a track close to you. Time for other Premier League clubs to step up to the challenge and for their supporters to stop their constant moaning about the Polish League destroying British Speedway. It hasn't at Ipswich. Let's see more of the top GP riders over here that will draw improve the standard of the Speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? They've got a top three that only Belle Vue can better. 2 second strings that are the equal of any others in the league A No.6 who is a 5.00+ rider on a 25% discount and easily the best rising star in the league. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birmingham are desperate and they really needed to hold onto him. The sooner we see a salary cap in speedway, the better. Should do that to Wroclaw then watch Laguta get dropped worry about Ekstraliga and Lublin nailing everyone due to money, not British speedway haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 A great team to start the season - I just hope we don't have too many one-sided meetings to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 With the Panthers out of action, I think I'm going to buy a season ticket at Ipswich next season. That team is worth every penny to watch on a regular basis, Fair play to the management for assembling one of the best sides we've seen in British Speedway in recent times. The 1-7 has a bit of everything in it, World Champions, A couple of British Champions and a few up and coming Young British riders with one of them having a massive future ahead of him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not bothered who or which team it is, I just champion what is right. If you hear from me a lot, you are doing something wrong - a lot. Just from the teams this year, Birmingham, Leicester and Oxford don’t hear from me and now Busters currency has waned Kings Lynn don’t either. So, what actually, have Ipswich done wrong - and how do you know? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 (edited) 5 hours ago, Aries said: Every rider that signs comments on how much Ipswich is the most professional club they’ve ridden for. Not some of the riders, literally ALL of them. that’s no coincidence. Everything that Chris Louis does is to a high professional standard, from insisting not only on the now mandatory team kevlars, but also matching bike livery and fork covers that some clubs don’t bother with, To hiring professional photographers for pre-season photo shoots in a studio and making sure the social media accounts are properly run. He also makes sure every rider is paid bang on time. He’s hired people (at his own expense) who are experts in their field, to source and recruit sponsors and partner sponsors to help fund the club and allow them to be ambitious in providing a team worth watching. It takes effort and commitment, that Chris Louis has no problem doing. If every promoter and club acted in exactly the same way and showed the same effort and commitment to the sport in this country, then the sport here would be in a much healthier position. Any criticism of Ipswich speedway is wrong, and completely misguided. Top promoter, his attention to detail and making sure everything's correct is at the same level as making sure the fuel taps definitely on....... Fantastic team assembled and deserve the success they were robbed of last season, fingers crossed injury free next season.

Dan is gonna be the key to the team though as he has mix it up if any big boys get injured ( we all know it's gonna happen) You're entitled to your opinion, but completely disagree. Can see this Ipswich side being one of the most dominant teams for many a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sport pretends to be democratic but is anything but as those on the top table call the shots. As has been proven on many occasions what Ipswich want Ipswich get and to hell with the rules. If it came to the above Ipswich would happily see Birmingham close if it helped them get a bit of tin. I can't remember Ipswich being that kind of club ever. If they were then I doubt they would of gone 26 years without a title. Chris Louis backed Lambert riding for the Aces in 2022 even though we had them in the play offs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle Vue is the challenge everyone needs to step up too, current champions, 2 times in 3 years, playoffs every year this decade and 3 out 4 finals. No polish speedway moaning at our club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersub Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 Ipswich look nailed on, injuries avoided. Probably favourites when bookmakers open book. I shall be on!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manifesto Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 Would need a rider or two in other teams to really step up next season to mount a serious challenge on that Ipswich outfit. even if Doyle drops a point on his average can’t see them losing out on any bonus points and losing over 2 legs in any semi or final. Keep them all fit and they should win the lot. See if any teams throw any surprises at us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrow Boy 2 Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 I would like to congratulate the Ipswich management for their use of the British rider's discounted averages without which they would be above 40. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little value on having a flutter on Ipswich. Up to you obviously it’s your money, but the odds will be terribly short and in this sport you can go from red hot favourites to rank outsiders in one meeting. Look what happened this year. I always think it’s better to look lower down for value. There’s sometimes some strange looking big prices on a team or two who look half decent.

I agree, Bookies won't be offering any value to be snapped up on Ipswich especially after they've witnessed a full Witches 1-7 dominate this season and that was with a weaker side than the 2025 side. King's Lynn will be the ones to have a little flutter on at the start imo as they'll be overpriced for a rumoured team that looks rock solid, Only team the bookies will rank lower than them will be Birmingham imo.

BluPanther Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 I still think Belle Vue will be the hardest team to beat over two legs for the Witches, although adding Tom does certainly help the cause... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playoffs don't work like that. Ipswich are a great team, will be favourites, will be in the play offs, but the playoffs are then a different game, it's all about form at the right time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurtz and Bewley are more reliable than Doyle and Emil. So anyone thinking of putting money on Ipswich is silly. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
