Comets fans make plenty of noise no matter how many travel to away meetings, 😜 UTC 🔵⚪🏁😀

A member of Mayfield sports events LTD were present alongside Chris Louis at the recent staff signing on session. A lot of capital has already been committed via the club purchase, lease of the stadium, and rider signing on fees. This has resulted in them loaning a new air fence for the coming season, with a purchase option at a later date. If the new owners announced are not Mayfield Sports, then something has gone awry at the 11th hour and Louis has gone to plan B.

Think they have to be signed to either a Premiership or a championship club to guest.

He said the new owners are nearing completion of the team, it didn’t sound like he had anything to do with it so it’s probably not his place to be naming them. Whether he’s technically still owner or not, he’s talking like the new owners are already in place and they’re doing all the work to get the club ready to race in “early April”. We have no idea how these people like to work. They’re clearly not going to be making any announcement on either the club, or rider signings, until the paperwork is officially completed. Which of course is their prerogative.

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
