Because they’re not yet owners of a Speedway club are they? They’ll announce themselves, when they are! What on earth are people struggling with here?

Nothing to do with negativity. Its realistic. Not enough interest in the area to justify trying to reopen it even if they had the ability to fund it. Get back to the real world please.

I’m not sure I can’t remember however companies house lists Ipswich speedway promotions Ltd as being incorporated on March 13th 1989 which is the company that was set up by Pavitt & co. The same company that is now being sold. A incorporated date of March would suggest it was finalised very late.

Will they announce the team on opening night (if there is one) it'll at least maybe get a crowd in (for one meeting anyway). There's absolutely no reason not to announce yourself as prospective buyers, other sports clubs that have changed ownership don't hide behind a curtain of secrecy so why would Ipswich Speedway's?

Statement with no information other than delayed due to renewal of the stadium. Don’t believe it unfortunately, the renewal would have been known about for months leading up towards this moment. If Louis was to keep the team and not sell it are we saying he still wouldn’t have named a team due to not signing a renewal contract of the stadium lease? It’s not a top secret of being owners of a speedway club so why not just announce yourself now? Whether you have a team or not.

I think some had it at 11.46?,

It’s Speedway, and you want transparency 😉

Why is Pickering not 9.42 - his last Championship GSA from 2024?

Because as the latest statement says, it still hasn’t been completed yet due to stadium related issues. They’re clearly a professionally run outfit unlike the cowboys who run other clubs in this Country and won’t be making a full, detailed announcement until all legalities have been completed. And rightly so. On the team, again the statement says only five of the team have actually signed, two close. Perhaps they want to announce the full team, together with their announcement of the purchase of the club, in one go? That again makes total sense.

I asked the question a couple of weeks ago for those of us a bit older! Can anyone remember the timescale (roughly of course) between the handover between Chris Shears and Dave Pavitt in 88/89. The only reason I ask is because I do remember some doubts about the club then? Including a suggestion we may have run out of Mildenhall.

Totally agree that’s the least they could do

I’m going to ignore what I was told about only 3 returning for last year, even though the source was right about the delay being a third party or spedeworth. I’m going as the 5 Brennan, King , Edwards, Jenkins & Nicholls. im just hoping the last 2 are something in keeping with what we have been used to. An Emil u turn would be amazing

I'm still wondering why the new buyers are still so shy about revealing themselves? If 5 riders are "signed" why not name them?

Rew

Harry is going to be busy if he is caretaker manager at Spurs!

Would love to know what averages rob has made up for this to fit. Cause if you’re using the rules correctly which I know he struggles with that team comes to 40.06.

England begin their World Cup campaign against Croatia in Dallas on 17 June with that game kicking off at 22:00 BST. Their next Group L fixture is against Ghana in Boston on 23 June and is at 21:00 BST, with their final group fixture against Panama at 22:00 BST on 27 June in New Jersey.

Really what a shock!!

Its Lambo

Simon Lambert it is. Ultimately on that average around scunny you couldn’t get much better. The side is clearly made to win at home and you can’t really argue with that

Do Scunthorpe do season tickets? after the major announcement just now I want one

Yes , it's a sign of how rapidly the way we watch our tv is changing.. I'm sure I read recently that Sky were after ITV & we all know what that would mean , the broadcasters maximizing their income whilst minimizing the subscriber's bank balance.

Have you been asleep for the last decade? Premiership is Monday/Thursday - days not used in the Championship so no clashes

Who do we think the signed 5 are? Brennan, King, Jenkins, Edwards and ??????

Pretty much what I expected from the behind scenes wording I was given. It didn’t sound as though it would be a comprehensive update of anything completed, and so it’s proved. But, at least he’s provided a further update and put us all in the picture on the reasoning for the delay so that’s appreciated. We now know the reason for the delay was stadium related, and that issue has now been resolved. Good to know there were no issues between Louis, and the prospective new owners and it’s all still going ahead as planned. Team almost in place also. Alas the wait now goes on for official confirmation.
