If Thorssell isn’t happening, there’s 4.60 left for rider seven. Your suggestion, or Jenkins, seem to be the only options. I was told yesterday the other six in your team was done. And the source is as good as it gets. MAYBE, they’ll have a rethink if the planned seventh rider is now off the table.

To be fair, Ipswich committed to racing this year at the AGM in early January and were confirmed starters. There’s nothing that’s been said that that commitment was dependent on a sale of the club being completed.

There's no asset system anymore, so no one is being held back. I was told at weekend, that Ipswich news should be released middle of this week (I assumed to go in Thursday's Speedway Star) but things seem very hush-hush. Sources who are normally happy to spill the beans, are staying very silent, as if sworn to secrecy. Apparently there are no problems, and I can only think the new promotion was absolutely everything to be in place before they reveal anything. I don't know why they can't confirm the sale has been completed, even if the team isn't totally finalised yet. Are they planning a spectacular reveal of everything? Again, I can't even get them to confirm any team names, but I'll have a guess at: Tom Brennan 7.05 Richard Lawson 6.83 Tobiasz Musielak 6.63 Danny King 6.50 Scott Nicholls 5.25 Jonas Jeppesen 4.34 Jason Edwards R/S = 36.60

Thinking back to much better and happier times late 90s early noughties both Ipswich and Northampton would have been given a 31st January deadline to give a definite intention to race if not by that date that would have been it until the following season but we are in very desperate times in 2026 even if it’s at best a 6 team league unless there is a rabbit out of the hat signing the top 4 in the league already sorted .

He was, but that was before his injury that saw him spend most of last year out injured. In all of the guest appearances he made at Foxhall for the Injured Doyle two seasons ago, he didn’t hit a single double figure score. Pretty sure I saw that stat somewhere.

Sweet dreams are made of this. Eurythmics Dreams. Fleetwood Mac I'm a dreamer. Livin joy

It will be Bomber... Every. Single. Time....

I put the first idiot on block as it was tedious and is good since people stopped quoting him. Haven't got any issues at moment with other but if I do they will go on block

He was used many times as a guest at Ipswich in recent times, he definitely knows the quickest way round Foxhall and would be a good addition to the team.

I am retired so can put leaflets on loads of car windscreens in loads of supermarket car parks... If that is any good .?

We didn't burn him!!!!!

I think my half n half kevlars idea could actually become a reality, and a winner!!!.. Keeps the scores close as the rider scores exactly the same for both teams... And doubles his points each ride, so he earns more money... And loads of close, exciting, dead heats if he wins!!! Come on BSP and SFL, you now it makes sense... (And cannot t be any more ludicrous than some of the ideas implemented over the years).. This time next year, we'll be millionaires!!!

The fact someone is signing Scott Nicholls in 2026 in a “Premiership” team says everything really. That’s no slight on him either. He’s been a fine rider for many years but come on now the bloke is on the slippery slope to 50 and just spent nearly a year out injured. It’s all a bit desperate.

I presume a guy because he keeps quoting about his wife, but that's not important.

Mind numbingly boring now though isn’t it 😴

The problem there Col, is it’s 2026, not 2023. You’ve picked an anomaly of a season there which is the exception rather than the rule. Put up the season stats for the seasons prior, and after 2023 for a fairer evaluation of his skills in a heatleader position.

Congrats to Drew Kemp for winning the Argentina Championship.Think most fans would have liked him back at Shielfield.

Assuming it is a guy... like I said, the ignore feature is an option for those it irritates so much. I don't use the feature myself, even though I'd be well justified with some of the abuse I've copped on here, but even a stopped clock is right twice a day 👍

Nobody has a problem with the guy posting, its just what he posts and how he derails every thread If he calmed down a bit then he would become a valued member of the forum

Well ignoring their posts or actually putting them on ignore are both options... It was no surprise to see many of the names of the posters on this topic and the ones adding the "likes" were some of the same names that have contributed to the wall of honour that accompanies each of my posts.

Would that be classed as "Doubling sideways"? I can see the powers that be spinning that into a marketing ploy to try desperately to make it seem appealing "Doubling Sideways, switching pits mid-skid"

I like to think I have a good sense of humour , but this guy just wants to post silly comments on almost every topic. He contributes very little to the forum , & often stupid remarks are the last thing that is needed.

Well there are a few thousand just arrived on dinghy's looking for work doctors, engineers all sorts,surely Mohamed is your man ?

I hope you're all happy that you've managed to bully them off, all because you couldn't find it in yourself to laugh, overlook or ignore them 👏 BSF members... so tolerant, welcoming and understanding 😂

Thanks to Rob I have been able to put this one to bed. The rider in question is Paul Turle. The Speedway Star entry for Peter Turle is incorrect, confirmed by Paul himself.
