Spl77 337 Posted December 31, 2018 19 minutes ago, New era Panthers said: Why would Ipswich join the premier league if they could not afford to pay reasonable rates. I'm starting to think that Ipswich were backed into a corner and forced to move up to save the premiership. Perhaps a case of premiership or no speedway as the bspa tried to save the flagship league! The longer this all drags on the less convinced I am that this what Louis and Ipswich as a club wanted. The amount of work that has been put in recent years in terms of naming competitive teams social media updates and interaction with the supporters seems to have been wiped out and replaced with the Chapman silence blanket. The club didn't appear to be for sale and Ipswich were planning championship speedway again at the end of last season. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ive given up trying to 2nd guess what the £$@€ is going on!! Im at the point of just waiting to see what happens and making little comment The next week or so could see some more info. Originally it was indicated to expect the next 2 announcements early in new year with completion not too long after Hopefully that will happen rather than having to wait til March...... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

semion 2,192 Posted December 31, 2018 Buster doesn’t rely on Lynn Speedway as his source of income. Ged doesn’t rely on P’Boro Speedway for his source of income Chris. At Ipswich Speedway, What is his main source of income ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racin Jason 72 1,271 Posted December 31, 2018 Ipswich speedway is his income. Now I imagine he is on a salary and hasn’t got the worries of losing a fortune anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there was any chance of that I think we wouldve had some more positive noises even without an official announcement Infact I would say there is more chance of Theresa May being caught naked atop the London Eye causing the cancellation of the New Year fireworks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted December 31, 2018 Must be where part of the budget is going then. Ged n Buster run it part time. Chris needs a full time salary for doing the same job. Can’t wonder why Ippo have less money to pay out on riders. The cake is always the same no matter how many different ways you cut it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The cake is always the same no matter how many different ways you cut it Could be akin to having an 8th rider if you look at it that way No one knows the in and outs of the deals (and nor should they really) but you would expect a relatively level playing field So lets wait and see before jumping to conclusions however obvious they may seem at this time 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris may well have made a well deserved return from his riding days but I would doubt any 'pot of gold' built up would be sufficient to guarantee the tens of thousands per season required to bankroll the speedway club 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
