I very much doubt there was ever going to be a sale,,, just uncle Buster agreeing to pay any debt that may occur I agree. Chris wasn’t prepared to gamble his own money going into the top league. So buster underwrote the promotion. The crowds have been very good and I imagine has made money unlike Peterborough which I imagine has drained busters funds 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With any luck busters has been cleaned out and he gives up and go back to his cabbage patch KL and let in someone who knows what they are doing to run British speedway. I not holding me breath.

Having "someone who knows what they are doing" wouldn't of saved the Prem league and BT deal this season. He was the only one that put his hand in his pocket, and probably lost money. I'm not saying he is the right man for the job, He's set in his ways, that's for sure, but where would the Prem have been without him this season ? Gone maybe. Cabbage patch , well they go together with webbed feet around these parts 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Judging by the crowds at Lynn, I think he has lost there as well. Speedway is not a money making machine, it's a money pit. So it's cost him £1000's. He spent 6 figures at Peterborough, before a wheel was turned. He didn't do it to make money, that's for sure!! If Buster did underwrite the Ippo promotion, he was the only one to put his money where his mouth is. He has his haters, and your one of them.But if he walked away from the 3 clubs today, where would speedway be?

I'm not a hater by any means, but someone has to take responsibility for the mess that the sport is in. The rot usually starts at the top. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chun 169 Posted September 28, 2019 Well done to the Ipswich management who were not afraid this year to make changes, which on balance has given us a fighting chance against the top sides. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has been a remarkable season so far No one gave us a prayer of finishing anywhere other than 7th Then it was the bubble has burst we wont hold on for a play off place All the talk moved on to others making sure they finished top so they could pick the woefully out of form Witches 12 up to 10 down in leg 1 - choke choke choke cries everyone - no hopes again Well well well look where we are now...... 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lukas 911 Posted September 29, 2019 I hate to say this but I was cheering for Ippo against Poole but it made me laugh hearing Ritchie giving it the big un about doing it for the city... really he's Peterborough through n through...so is Danny...seen them both several times in London rd cheering on the Posh..and I'm sure they would both rather be at Panthers...good luck for the final Ippo bitches! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bash 496 Posted September 29, 2019 At least we won't have to start the Ipswich 2020 thread for a few weeks yet. Seeing as we are in the final do you think we might get to see the 16 lapper this year, I hope so. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
