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

Masters won't be that bad again imo. Leicester marginal favourites over Ipswich for me going by rumoured 1-7's purely because the engine room features more tried and tested riders than Ipswich. Both teams look head and shoulders above other rumoured 1-7's though.

Truly magnificent gesture from the reading fans thank you from a speedway fan who supports plymouth.

Bewley announced tomorrow?

Bewley announces hes left

This was money raised in the effort to bring Speedway back to Reading, which started in 2016 and lasted around 5 years. Many Reading fans donated every month during this time alongside fundraising events. It hasn't been raised since the end of last season! Having admitted defeat in the quest, it was decided Plymouth's appeal was a deserving cause.

Bewley definitely being announced tomorrow now 🤣

I mean. If nilsson is 4.5 then they must be to right

Have to assume out of them it would be Klindt id assume Lidsey Morris and maybe Ellis are Northampton bound

Hellfire Rasser available on a 4.50 average?? I’d have had him down at Ipswich in a heartbeat on that!

Crikey what an absolutely bizarre rant 😂

They don’t need to be miles better, just better. Thompson is still very much on an upward trajectory and will comfortably outscore Riss & Nilsson. Howarth’s average will be more or less what it is currently. Thompson will therefore be the difference.

Just wait until you hear about Richard Coleman’s most devoted cheerleader in Bury St Edmunds, a gentleman called Steve Irving, who appears to swallow every word Coleman serves up without bothering to engage his brain first! Irving’s powers of reasoning appear to have stalled somewhere around primary school level. He genuinely seems to believe that because of an alleged arrangement between Ipswich and Wrocław, riders signing for Wrocław automatically become Ipswich signings as well! By that logic, supermarket employees contracted to ASDA should also clock in at Tesco, while Lloyds Bank staff should routinely turn up for shifts at NatWest. Utterly ridiculous, isn’t it? But the greatest entertainment comes from Irving’s unwavering devotion to Coleman. The holes in his arguments are so enormous that you could drive a double-decker bus through them. Take the claim that Ipswich are signing Dan Bewley because of the Wrocław arrangement. Conveniently overlooked is the fact that Jason Doyle has signed for Częstochowa. And the much-discussed possibility of Kacper Woryna joining Ipswich appears to have died a death. Of course, Woryna rides for Lublin, not Wrocław! Then we arrive at the extraordinary case of Kim Nilsson. Apparently, Nilsson is a 2027 Grand Prix rider and precisely the signing that transforms Ipswich into potential title winners. If he’s a Grand Prix rider, one of the supposed 15 best riders in the world, surely his assessed average should reflect that status. Are we talking 6.00 or 8.50? Not according to the Suffolk faithful! Suddenly, Nilsson is apparently worth no more than 4.50 because he rides in the Polish third tier for Landshut. So let me get this straight: when a rider is associated with Wrocław, the Polish connection is apparently worth its weight in gold. But when that same logic doesn’t suit the argument, suddenly the Polish league connection counts for absolutely nothing! WHAT?! Nilsson rides for Landshut, not Wrocław! How terribly inconvenient! And then there’s Richard “Tricky Dicky” Coleman himself. Coleman is becoming the Paul McKenna of British Speedway, seemingly capable of hypnotising an entire section of the sport’s supporters into believing that he’s some sort of second coming. His headline-grabbing masterstroke? Taking the Speedway Grand Prix series to Gillman in Australia. Hardly the sort of announcement that sets the sporting world alight. It’s rather like announcing a Speedway Grand Prix at Redcar or Somerset and expecting the world to applaud. Coleman has also presided over the movement of the British Speedway Grand Prix from Cardiff to Belle Vue and, subsequently, Ipswich. Yet we’re constantly told that Tricky Dicky is the man who can pull off the big moves. Where is the evidence? We’re still waiting. And that’s the fundamental problem: the so-called “Suffolk crew without a clue” seem far more interested in worshipping Coleman than applying even the most basic level of scrutiny to what he actually delivers. As for Grand Prix riders, there is currently a small number who appear to have no appetite for riding for Coleman’s Ipswich club. Perhaps they’ve already seen through the sales pitch and recognised the difference between genuine ambition and a convincing publicity campaign. Whether that number grows remains to be seen. Finally, let's circle back to the supposed Ipswich signing of Dan Bewley. I’ll believe it when I see it. But there’s one rather obvious question that nobody in the Coleman appreciation society seems particularly keen to address: IF DAN BEWLEY HAS ALREADY SIGNED FOR IPSWICH, WHY HAVEN’T WE HEARD ABOUT IT? Let’s be honest, Coleman isn’t exactly renowned for keeping exciting news under wraps. Quite the opposite. He’s a man who appears to relish the limelight and publicity. If Bewley had genuinely signed on the dotted line, I’d suggest we’d have heard about it from every available rooftop, social media platform and speedway news outlet by now. So perhaps, just perhaps, it’s time to separate wishful thinking from reality. Because blind loyalty isn’t evidence, speculation isn’t confirmation, and repeating somebody’s sales pitch doesn’t magically make it fact. Less hero worship. More critical thinking. And, above all, a little less believing everything Tricky Dicky tells you.

Leicester definitely have the track knowledge with the riders they have but Ipswich with Nilsson will take time but if he comes to the party then that Ipswich top end looks potent I would say Ipswich would sneak it as a top 5 but it’s basing it on a fully fit Riss,but if that doesn’t work I’m assuming Ipswich will have something up there sleeves. Think Ipswich and Leicester look 2 play off teams for sure.
