szkocjasid Posted November 25 Report Share Posted November 25 (edited) This was a quote by Chris Louis in the Speedway Star after Witches 45-45 draw against Sheffield in the KOC final "Keynan was exceptionally good tonight. He has stepped back into the team after that spell at reserve and to see him riding that well in the main body of the team gives us great optimism looking ahead to next year" Obviously in September Ipswich were planning to have Rew in the 2025 side.

Trotter65 Posted November 25 Report Share Posted November 25 Maybe at some point Ipswich had retaining Rew in mind but really as soon as Tom Brennan was available and could fit then it was a no brainer to have a middle order of Brennan, King and Ellis over Rew…it’s a much stronger line up than having Rew in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably fancy Witches for the title whoever they picked out of King / Ellis / Rew, so best drop the one who's most expensive / has the least air fares etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanoXtra Posted November 26 Report Share Posted November 26 Rew decided to leave. He said that he will “see you soon” when I spoke to him and no bridges are burnt so I expect him at some point to return to Ipswich. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanoXtra Posted November 29 Report Share Posted November 29 2026 looking decent. I think this is going to be King’s last season. Rew will be back as he is loaned out to Birmingham for 2025 so we could get Brennan on the pre tense that he comes back for 2026 and replaces King. Ipswich offering scholarship to whoever wins the under 19s event at foxhall… all set up for Will Cairns! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP78 Posted November 30 Report Share Posted November 30 Interesting news story on the Brummies website… apparently they have managed to ‘lure’ Rew away from Ipswich… Pretty sure he lured himself away 🤣 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue witch Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 This isn't just Ipswich the whole league is just overpriced IMO. So hard to attract new fans when you're charging £24-£30(if you sit in some grandstands) for 15/17 mins of action depending on track size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Bloke Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 (edited) Only £13 saving on a season ticket, over paying on the gate. Not much of an incentive to buy one imho. Edited December 2 by Bald Bloke 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue witch Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 Personally you're paying £24 to watch Doyle and Emil and the top hitters of the other team. You're not paying to watch the second string or reserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue witch Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 Maybe season ticket holders should get a free programme at the 13 matches to make it a bit more desirable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on that statement as you're then only watching half the races lol I get what you mean though £24 to watch Jason and Emil is the attraction but you also have 2 bright prospects to watch develope in Brennan and Dan, the best rising star heading into the season and two other riders who on their day can score big points at Foxhall As a complete side its probably worth more to pay to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
