History says you are probably right but because he is first and foremost a business person and will not take any nonsense from the fools that run the sport over, if pushed to the point where it directly affects his investment he might think outside the box and counter any threats with a possible withdrawal from the British League and apply for Witches race in the second tier of the Polish league on a Thursday night guaranteeing regular meetings once a fortnight and on Sundays they could set up a large screen at Foxhall to show Ekstraliga matches live. No problem with noise levels and extra income for the stadium. You never know but at least someone has come in to get things moving forward because we all know what a great spectacle speedway is and if marketed by those with a eye for selling, it could be the new beginning it needs in this country rather than continue to rely on the cozy speedway masons cartel who run the show now.

On 14th the Referee closed the meeting at 5.55. That was after NDL (15 races), MDL (6) and Demo races (3)

The irony, how many times have you typed that retort, thick 🔔🔚 Shows how many times Paul push the rules to not even deny the cheating anymore. 😂😂 P.s glug glug.

Note new start time on Sunday

Hopefully Richard Lawson will be receiving some intensive rehabilitation from Wroclaw's medical team to get him ready for tonight's meeting 😁

Christer Lofqvist was brilliant at last lap passes around Poole (apparently there was a bonus involved) Briggo Bernt Persson Loram Harris Nicki Pederson Another vote for Zmarzlik being at least equal to anybody in any era I've seen.

harris for doyle, wont be the 60-30 mullering but be a comfortable win for you guys, 52-38

better not, ipswich fans dont like you

Norwich born i believe.

Overall this is a sensible move and hopefully the commitment is there to see it through. Like many before him Coleman will not be fully embraced by the BSPA//L and will become a disruptor because of his passion, innovation and commercial interest all of which antagonise the status quo. The backstabbers will be sharpening their steel and rinsing their bobble hats, I can't wait to be proved wrong

Change the record, or get back in your rat trap 🐀

Have a listen to his post match interview, very mature for a 16 year old

Will Wroclaw be buying Ipswich a new blade? 😉

Is Jordan Jenkins a Norfolk lad?

Home rider Damian Ratajczak has been named for the opening round in ZG.

As far as I remember the Cradley announcer always pronounced him as Strawn as well, so that's what he's always been in my head. Norman rode for Newport in the very first meeting I saw back in 1968, but my main memory of him was getting his autograph a couple of years later when he was a Cheetah (I think). Beautifully written, taking his time, with the full name, making a stark contrast to most riders autographs that I managed to acquire. RIP

Spot on we have to accept we are no longer top of the pile and if we could be a feeder league for the poles that would be a far better outcome than we have currently, the poles recognize that the UK, Sweden and US need building back up so things don't become boring with them steam rolling everything. Wouldn't it be great if something was done with Steve Evans and say Hancock and Hamill to find the next generation of Herbie and Bullet, Moran Brothers, Cowboy Cook, Penhall, King etc the Americans brought so much to the UK scene in the 80's and 90's there must be 10-15 riders somewhere in a population of 300 million who if some effort was put into them could make the stars and stripes a force again. Same with Sweden lets find the next generation of T.Ricks, Henka's, Lindgrens etc get them over here whilst young and hungry and ideally send some of our best youngsters over to Swedish league to broaden their learning/track craft. I really hope all this isn't crushed as I'm feeling a very small bit of optimism for the first time in over a decade.

This could be one of the smartest moves a club has pulled in years. It's always better to work with rather than against Poland in terms of speedway. Only time will tell, but creating a connection like this could be huge for Ipswich, and who knows? If it proves to be successful other clubs could follow suit.

When I heard he was signing I wasn't too impressed either but you hope that he improves and develops but he clearly hasn't and his start to the season has gone backwards, we need to replace him now or it will be too late. We have covered his lack of points because of our fantastic reserves but that cannot continue.

Or cheat to make sure they do.

I agree but it’s the unnecessary Dutch auction when poaching, sorry discussing contracts with riders from other teams that I don’t like. It leads to even more money leaking out of clubs coffers at a time when they can least accommodate it. As you say, it’s the riders choice and it matters not if a Polish club asks a rider to sign for this or that team. It’s very on brand for witches fans to be rubbing their hands at the prospect of discussing contracts with another of The Aces No1 club but I just don’t see Colman aligning himself with this backwards thinking. We will of course be happy to sit down with any like minded promotions to forge a better future for our league as a whole. To this end, if it means having to offload more of our stars to help others, we will.

I think the Witches will have too much for the Aces, but not quite enough for the bonus point. The key, as always with Belle Vue is if Kildemand, Blodorn and maybe Zischke can score enough to support Kurtz. Just seen that Chris Harris replaces Doyle, so that makes it even more unlikely that the Aces will prevail. 50-40 Witches.

Yes and he intimated it was a waste of time and the contract ends I think at the end of this season.
