Still way behind Nielsen in my view.

Reading in todays Speedway Star Palovaara had been suffering from pneumonia latter part of the season.

Maybe he has learnt from it, hope so for his own sake because he wont last long at Poole if not.

Assuming the six named are true/accurate then personally I'd rather use two local youngsters with links to the club than Gusts who has a three point average for a reason and was unavailable an awful lot last year. To me the idea of using Cooper and Jody straight from the Young Stars is even more exciting than the arrival of Fricke (again if accurate). Also I'd suggest somebody with a bit more experience at 2 would be better than a new foreign rider assuming the six named have been signed.

I’m not sure what would be worse. Tolley and Rogers or no speedway. plenty of vultures flying over foxhall looking for riders atm

Don't get @lewy too excited, it's not good for him at his age 😁

You haven't seen your young Aussie with a big attitude problem yet 🙃

And let the doubling up begin,

on a sub 8 average think Cook is a good signing.

It is a very long time since Batch rode for Poole and of course I realise ex gp riders are on the way down but he must have had some really poor meetings to get to his current average and he does seem to give up when not gating, despite that I do think he is worth including on his current average. I have every sympathy with anyone who has mental issues but if he came back without that baggage he would be a top rider in this league but is he worth the risk.

I think Leicester should be congratulated for their use of social media in the last few weeks. They were the first, if not only club to update their supporters on what their plans were, then they announce the departure of their best rider (with Max confirming this 15 minutes later) but within 12 hours announce the signing of Thompson. Anyone would think they actually have put some thought into how they use social media & have a strategy. If this is the case can other clubs please take note....

Finally announced what was agreed and has been an open secret sincere about August then I think the vast majority of Ipswich fans will be hugely disappointed to see him go but delighted if Dan can keep progressing I feel having the comfortable surroundings of what he obviously sees as home will help him make the next steps on the international stage A decent talent with a determined attitude and a solid professional approach so should continue to do well

So April then..?😄

Experience.

musielak had an evening meal with tolley and co last week, but he didnt have another rider with him

Dan Thompson signs for Leicester. very sad to see him move on but it’s a great career move for him as he rides the track so well. been great to see him blossom from rising star to where he is now It was dans improvement which gained us the league title imo hope we get a chance to see you at foxhall

Surely after all the effort put in to getting them back on track last year and with Glasgow on board, Cook is a no no. The risk of peeing off the fans feels much higher than the reward with Cook these days

Legally they are obliged to given a current contract/license exists.

As Ipswich trade at a profit the initial asking price would be based on the value of that profit with any interest and tax paid added back. This provides an Ebit (Earnings before interest & tax) figure which a multiplier is used to create a selling price. Example an Ebit of 10 with a multiplier of 6 would give a sales price of 60. Goodwill would be the difference between asset value and the sales price. Then comes negotiations where future forecasts and opinion on the likelihood of the business delivering same, higher or lower earnings in years to come. It’s fair to say that with Speedway being in an apparent perilous state, potential buyers would be looking at a possible purchase with a high level of risk attached thus a lower offer (valuation of goodwill) could be expected.

Gusts has a 3.00 Prem average, he could ride at 6 instead of using 2 x RS

Can the BSPL afford to do that with so few teams remaining?

First signing is Dan Thompson.

Buster and Nicolai are close, hence why Buster has still allowed Nicolai to have his testimonial at the AFA

I reckon Gusts or a newcomer on a 4
