Until the new owners of the club are revealed, Chris Louis owns Ipswich Speedway. He said a while ago that 5 riders were signed, so why can’t these be announced? These signings surely have the new owners blessing? He says he fully understands the frustration of supporters so why can’t at least some of the riders be revealed? He’d have been better off saying nothing. He’s shot himself in the foot in my opinion.

Don’t think so, Nicholls guested a lot for the witches in 2024 while Doyle was out long term and only signed to a championship club

Technically we don’t even know the new owners of Ipswich Witches identity as yet, might not even be mayfield 😉

Perhaps they are using Chatgpt or whatever the AI generator for nonsense is.

No i think it was Morrissey

We’re just going to have to wait and see. Proof of the pudding and all that. They, just like anyone else, deserve to be given a chance. I do find these posts from this particular poster rather suspicious though. Not just the odd comment here and there, it’s literally essays every time criticising them which is a bit weird.

As far as I know the lights are to be new.

You were banging this exact drum a couple of months ago on the GP thread, predicting the end of the GP series under these utter frauds, and that they would be seriously cutting the number of GP’S, if they announced any at all. A week later they announced, a FULL GP Calendar, as promised. You, then promptly disappeared after being made to look ‘kin stupid. And here we are, you’re on here again with your broken crystal ball predicting all sorts of doomsday scenarios regarding Mayfield sports. Despite denials, you clearly have a personal axe to grind. You’re either a rider, a friend of a rider, family member or sponsor, who is unhappy that they’ve cut the riders prize money (sensibly). Either that, or you’re just completely unhinged and are in need or some serious help.

I don’t know what to think at this point, I’m willing to give mayfield the benefit of the doubt but they are hardly doing themselves any favours in the promotional sense

Before putting this together, I was obviously well aware that the usual suspects — the Richard Coleman fan club from deepest, darkest Bury St. Edmunds and beyond — would be ready with their pom-poms to defend their hero. Anyway… While browsing the FIM Speedway website earlier, I noticed a link to the Mayfield Sports Events site and decided to take a look: https://www.mayfield-ms.com Ignoring the outdated design (it’s mostly text blocks and dated graphics), what instantly stood out was this: there’s no mention whatsoever of Speedway or MotoGP. It’s all about Formula 1. And even that’s stuck in the past — the site lists Günther Steiner as Haas F1 Team Principal (he left in January 2024) and Otmar Szafnauer as Alpine’s Team Principal (he departed in 2023). We’re now in February 2026, which means the Mayfield site hasn’t been updated in at least two years. Odd, isn’t it? Not that the Coleman cheerleaders will see a problem, of course… Coming from a background in the insurance industry — particularly compliance — I can say this much: the situation with Coleman/Mayfield doesn’t pass the “smell test.” Back in the day, we’d make sure anyone collecting client money — insurance agents, advisers, financial consultants — was “fit and proper”: no major debts beyond a mortgage, no red flags for embezzlement or mismanagement. When I read posts from “Flagrag” and “DHSS” on the Northampton thread, and then see multiple companies with near-identical names, plus Coleman’s previous court case, it all feels… off. Something doesn’t quite add up. My prediction (and honestly, I hope I’m wrong): even if Coleman and Mayfield finally complete their long-awaited takeover of Ipswich Speedway, they’ll scrape through 2026 by the skin of their teeth — if they finish the season at all. And when the dust settles? We could potentially be looking at unpaid riders, unpaid suppliers, disappointed sponsors, and a fair few let-down fans, and Coleman trying to run away from unpaid bills and responsibilities!

Not a fan of the "team wear" merch. Other stuff seems decent. Bit expensive but expected.

Peter Turle rode one National League match as a stand-in for Rye House at Weymouth on September 11, 1984 (scoring one and a bonus from one ride). His call-up came after Steve Naylor, Chris Chaplin and Gary Rolls were missing for Rye House, who used locally based youngsters in their place. Turle was possibly a Poole/Weymouth junior and appeared in a few individual meetings (as a reserve) at Poole in 1984.

Only downfall is the team logo is very faint in colour to all the other advertising.😩

When has mud ever been clear.🤣

And of course not forgetting sideways🤣

You been talking to David Attenborough 😂

Similar to the frog in a pot of water that's slowly heating up. It becomes comfortable and doesnt notice the progression towards its demise, or it's death when it inevitably happens

Cant beat a Tartan blanket (Fraser tartan) to keep warm on a cold play off evening in late October , oh and a wee dram from my hip flask .

It'll keep the cleaners busy though !

Good on them no pretending he is British

Mildenhall have signed a pole, pole in Nora league ? Wrong or right ?

Isn’t the rule…..can’t guest unless named in another Premierships one to seven ?

So next year if we lose another team from this season, its all hands on deck to find a new track.

Where's your board "The End of the World is nigh!"
