Yet you were someone who demanded a meet up with other Glasgow fans because you were unhappy about what they said on this forum. How times change.

You may well be right. Just one of those riders that I’ve never taken to

Interesting take, I can honestly say that Tom Brennan has never reminded me of NP in the slightest. I like Brennan, I think he can get better.

Just not a fan, personally think he is on the edge of being dirty - a less talented Pedersen. Sure he would do a decent job for us, but wouldn’t be on my list of candidates.

The desire is certainly financially restricted by the fixed racenights that were brought in to suit Poland fixtures.

I would say that the crowd levels were very similar at most meetings. Both sports had some meetings with better than usual crowds but there was never that much difference.

Time will tell but I will take a stab at single figures is likely

They would find a way to eff it up Perhaps field an ineligible rider and get disqualified

Please see my clarification post My apologies that you couldn't envisage the full meaning and the intended impact

🤣

To quote you - “To maintain the standard at the 2026 level you would need to find 25-30 riders at or close to the standard of Harris,Lawson,King,Nicholls,Wright etc “ You choosing to use 5 of the top 10 averaged riders in the Championship is just trying to sensationalise your argument.

I assume Stock Car meetings were better attended, so maybe cooking in greater quantities reduced the attention to quality a little.

Should have said " one club" riders not unique 🙂 🙂

How many unique riders will there be in the 2026 teams ? ie NOT doubling up riders.

8 years in the 2nd tier with one single PO final appearance does not scream "top dogs" nor an obvious "drive to rebuild". Curiously, both Leicester and Somerset dropped down to the 2nd tier for 2019, leaving only 5 teams in the 1st tier, and it was only then that Ipswich chose to go back up.

Never been a particular fan of Tom Brennan. But if had the chance to sign him, I would not say no. I remember him doing a Guest booking at Owlerton and he did well. In saying all that I think he will be at Ipswich next season.

Too nice - they are used to having w@nkers at No1

If he'd fessed up perhaps I'd be of a different opinion, but he didn't. He lied through his nose for months and got found out, and he put a lot of people's noses out of joint. All a moot point as he's unlikely to be seen on a competitive speedway bike again.

Watched him as a junior at Eastbourne, had that broken leg which had a lot of complications, he lost his Mum from an early age, I Sponsored him in his early days and went through the Eastbourne times when he didn't get paid, like all riders, by Ian Jordan. You could tell as a junior, he was a talent.

I have no disdain whatsoever for the Championship or any team within it and Ipswich is not perrfect (and was far from it in the past) I agree big changes are needed - let's hope they are made and that they work

I’m not I was literally using your own words, you’ve clarified/expanded your view but it was quite clear in your original post you didn’t mean Jake Mulford as I don’t think you can argue he’s the same standard as Chris Harris right now.

You're being deliberately obtuse and pedantic Perhaps I should've mixed it up a bit but if you used more than a single brain cell, some logic and a little common sense yoy could work it out For clarity it goes down further to include the likes of (but not exclusive to!) Howarth, Castagna, Edwards, Mulford, Zischke All worlds ahead of the NDL/out of depth newcomers that would still be required to fill the gaps without them It would limit these newcomers to the reserve berths rather than filling 4 spaces in each team...

Poole and Glasgow don’t expect other teams to go to the wall to sustain what they want though do they? Which is what Ipswich and Belle Vue want, they want the big names despite the fact it’s clear it’s unsustainable in the current climate, which I’m pretty sure you even have agreed is true. Yes Poole and Glasgow snap up young talent nobody is arguing that, they’ve also agreed a rule that each team can only have one “Big Hitter” with an average over 8 to start the season. It’s clear you have a disdain for the Championship and clubs in that league, you’ve made that obvious. All they’ve done is taken a stand to protect themselves from losing silly money and propping up a failing system, big changes are needed and no doubt they’ll all be a part of it. I’m sure no matter what they do though they’ll always be wrong and Ipswich will always be a beacon of perfection in your eyes.

Will definitely learn throttle control to get round the polo mint circuit 😝

Confuses me too, thought every clubs fans would want him?
