All Activity

It is not just about Ipswich albeit they are a major factor in the current situation, it is about speedway as a whole and those incompetent individuals who as custodians of the sport have collectively contributed to the decline in the sport as a creditable activity. Failure to promote on a national basis, the me, me, me attitude of promoters and the inability to control the riders who are the tail wagging the dog has left what was once the second biggest spectator sport in this country an example of abject failure. No one has any vision and the idea of working collectively for the benefit of all is beyond the comprehension of the promoters. Yes you can be grateful that speedway at Ipswich will feature in 2026 but it should never have got to this situation and whilst it is not in the public domain the reasons for JL throwing in the towel, it clearly has something to do with all of those on the top table and their attitude. We will see, but for now some will feel it is better than nothing but until the attitude changes this may just be a temporary solution.

Either nothing was forth coming last night or those who were there have no signed th official secrets act.

Haha brilliant. Or until they sell out a game at the emptihad

Marouanne Fellaini would beg to differ no doubt

Meanwhile this Manchester City fan isn't getting his hair cut until they are cleared of all 115 FFP charges

I wonder who them 2 guys are 🤔, all I'm hearing is voices 😜

You must be joking surely. if you watch the podcast she is on the other day where she came out with her latest nonsense, you will see she is a horrible, lying, twisted piece of work. Like a character from top boy sat there. Thankfully she will only make a few quid now from podcasts as she is headlines for all the wrong reasons but she wont earn anything from proper televised football again. No channel will go near her now. Joey Barton is an absolute pleb , but he was right with this one.

Clashes with football (local and national), and working commitments.

There are 2 guys who are here each week who compare the meeting from newcastle who if asked may be able to lend a hand

a important thing called the work for a living and the work they do means they are working saturday afternoons

Just like this poor sod, We all woke up expecting an end to the frustrating period in regards to a Sports Team but it never materalised.

Ive never put anyone on ignore but Im close to it, its having a detrimental effect on the forum IMO

Can't see a practice on an afternoon Planning methinks not covering that

Mr R is available 😁, but I doubt LR would fancy taking a chance with the former mascot 😁.

There will be a way to get home if you live in one of the towns in cumbria via the bus service or train post 8pm. I suppose it depends where you live.

Whilst it’s clearly frustrating that no news is forthcoming, we must also appreciate that Ipswich speedway has come close to being no more. Your lament is understandable Hawk, but we must be sanguine. The primary concern is keeping foxhall alive and if it means waiting a few more days for the new investors to give us firm plans then so be it. I’d rather than than entertaining idle speculation.

So why can they not make 3pm Saturdays? I can make 6pm it is getting home on public transport which is not possible.I missed two meetings last year I think and I do prefer racing under floodlights.

I use ignore on him but people keep quoting his posts so you see his inane ramblings. Personally think he adds nothing to the debates

In worky's fixtures the blanks in June/July say reserved for KO cup / BSN semi finals

Those that are managing/controlling this Ipswich campaign are running the risk of losing the good will of not just the Ipswich fan base but that of the entire Premiership where those declared clubs are seemingly being held to ransom over the indecisiveness or one or more parties when it comes to the fixture list etc. The dwindling fan base who like to plan ahead to support their team at away matches are ignored to the point where that particular contribution that fans make in terms of travelling support falls on deaf ears of those in charge. Promoters are happy to take the punters money but pay scant regard to realising the importance of keeping supporters on side and the mushroom syndrome is the mantra that suits the promoters business model. Many more will find other things to do on race nights and pick and choose those meetings they want to attend yet those running the sport seemingly have their respective heads buried in the sand so much so that you feel they could not find themselves a way out of a paper bag let alone solve the issues of. the self inflected mire the sport finds itself in and actually go out of there way to ignore the contribution the die hard supporters offer this great sporting spectacular. Speedway could be so good if promoted as something special and run by those who had a vision to expose it to broader audience, but the insular way in which it is runs means this will not happen in the short to medium term. Get rid of the old guard and things might change, but leave it as is and it will pass into history.

Nicholls would be a better signing for Ipswich than anyone else. Struggles for pace on the bigger tracks these days, but will still score consistently well around Foxhall. Important to win your home fixtures.
