Another big meeting at Ipswich...

Three riders are stepping up, as Zichke is becoming a second string.. Good to see some continuity, and loyalty, in a sport that does its best to destroy it, but, as you say, a gamble that all three will need to deliver even their current figures, although, all are on an upward trajectory in their careers so possibly they will adapt well to their new positions in the team... Brady's average should go up given he won't have a top level partner in Heats 13 and 15, (and any TAC SUB rides), to take points off him... A team set up to win at home seems to be the key behind it, (without the big margins of last season), in a hope they can keep it close (ish) away from home, and all three riders had some"decent" away meetings last season with each delivering, at least one, "match winning performance".. There are only two teams to beat to reach the play offs, so you just need to be better than them.. And, having three riders who, in all honesty, more than likely will drop points from their average could facilitate some team changes later in the season when some of the better riders may decide to pick up a few extra quid... Jason Doyle dropped Sweden for the UK last year so it can be done.. Fair play to Mark Lemon in sticking with those lads who made significant strides last season rather than replacing them for doing "too well"... A strategy unique to UK Speedway and one that does it few favours...

he's now due a testemonial.

There is without question a personal axe to grind there. Everything he says about him ends up wrong such as Coleman not going to be releasing a full GP calendar which Coleman then duly did a couple of days later. Take any criticism of Richard Coleman from this particular poster with a huge grain of salt.

I wouldn’t be concerned.

The poster you’re replying too launched into multiple lengthy rants last winter regarding Coleman before he was officially confirmed as witches promoter, full on character assassination and slander. You’d think Coleman had screwed out of a wedge of cash, slept with his wife and run over his dog tbh

As a matter of interest what would his average be. Dans average at BV is 8.78 and Pickos at Sheffteld is 8.27 as we all know Scuntjorpe all but made it last year. Just thinking out loud

Duplicate.

May as well turn out the lights now if that’s the case

Incredible that there’s actually people out there who think if riders sign a contract with a club, then that club immediately announces them. Mind boggling.

I would rather watch Dan than Kurtz any day of the week but consistency is key when team building as you say the move will do him no harm at all .

Good luck to dan. A few years away will improve him as a rider. Will also fill his pockets more. He will entertain. And entertains more than brady. But brady is the born winner. The better rider. So if I had to chose one. It would be brady. Its no coincidence that we win the league without dan. Id rather both mind you.

How would I know whether you drank alcohol before making the post above? If YOU dont know, perhaps you did! How exactly has Coleman improved the sport? He has taken the British GP to from major stadiums to a sporting backwater and expects plaudits for it? As for Gillman... Oh and please enlighten us as to how Dan Bewley announcing he has publicly announced he has left Belle Vue means it's confirmed he has signed for Ipswich, when no official announcement has yet been made?! Your comment may as well have been "If my aunt had testicles she would have been my uncle"

You are a bit of a strange one aren’t you

Dan announced a while back that he was unhappy about riding in the UK under duress. Belle Vue respected that. I wouldn’t be surprised if another club stepped in with mega bucks and Dan phoned in his performance each time he begrudgingly took to the track over here.

No Rushen or Scott 🤔

Would we see the same outrage if Ipswich signed Paco Castagna on his current 3.64 GSA after he qualified for the GP's via the GP challenge? Would fans be calling for the higher ups to bump Paco's average up by over 2.00 points based on a one off meeting?

We'll guess what Smithy boy. It ain't happening as none of the above are signing for Lynn

Only when I visit wimbored road 😜

I heard that Pickering isn't doing premiership as makes more money at scunny

Bewley officially announces he is leaving belle vue

Pretty sure it's only a dirt (mud) track, not shale, so it wouldn't be suitable for speedway. Also, as the track has only just been reinstated and has a raised centre green which would be unsuitable for speedway, I can't see them wanting to make major changes at this point.

Can I ask? Was alcohol consumed before posting this?!! 😉 Given that Bewley has just announced he has left Belle Vue, you will soon be seeing it and believing it! The hate for a man who is trying to improve the sport not just in this country but in the GPs just beggars belief. Really can’t get my head around it. He has done more in one year for the SGP than the previous promoter did in many more.

Don't be daft That side would win every home Championship meeting by 30 and away by 20
