Well I confess I was not happy with the line up when announced however boy have I been proved wrong! Keep it going

And that league was fair more successful in the last few years than the old BL. Maybe the promoter's should dust off the old NL rule book

I these new way forward ideas some of which need consideration as the current operation model is not working. However these new proposals loose all credibility when random things are chucked in I mean a domestic competition at the Olympic stadium is pure fantasy.

I think you'll find the National League of the late 80s ran with a no guest policy up until the league merger with the BL at the end of 1990. So it can be done.

Standing water everywhere and more to come this morning through to the afternoon

Interesting however after probably 25 years or longer of cost cutting there cannot be much left to cut? I am always amazed the one area never looked at is rider equipment. Surely if we go down the one big league route and Doyle and Lambert do quit the league then that's the time to introduce standard equipment? To save on the one major cost that has never been looked at. Not cost cutting but something else that massively affected my decision to stop attending is the wonderful guest rule. That along with the transfer system really needs a massive overhaul. The two combined saw Scott Nicholls ride 3 weeks running at Ipswich for 3 different teams....... But hey this is speedway as the phrase goes.

Still he was better than Phillipe Bergé Shame we didn't move for Nicholls a couple of weeks ago. Still I'm quite happy with Kennet been mentioned on here enough as someone Ipswich should sign.

Poole

Could we be about to drop Bellego? His name is mentioned in the belle Vue thread as a possibility for them. Thoughts?

If Wolves release Nicholls could he replace Harris?

What was Harris doing in heat 15? Mind blowing!

Problem is there are also far less top riders world wide apart from Poland it seems in decline everywhere even the GP are at best operating at the same level but certainly not to the potential that they had back in the early 2000s. Sad times really.

19 points from reserve fantastic the rest early days but need to up their game...

Interesting that alot on this forum myself included point to Poland as the way forward. So when we have a owner who starts to give his clubs a professional image like the Poles do he gets slated. I'm not Chapman biggest fan however I can only admire how his teams are kitted out. Louis has always had his teams well kitted out and the Ipswich website and interaction on social media over the past few years has been great. Up the witches right now the sport seems professional well in Ipswich at least.

A good positive piece on BBC look East last night. They certainly look the part teaching Poole a few lessons.

Any chance of sneeking into have a nose this arvo?

Would love to know what happen between Ipswich and Tungate. When he signed for us Louis was singing his praises and if memory serves me right had to beat of competition to land him. Obviously at that time Ipswich and Tungate were a good match.

At least it's now clear who runs the club..... Louis is just the front man! To say I'm disappointed is a massive understatement. At the end of last season we had the prospect of watching the best talent this country has produced in years in Drew Kemp and now we're being served this. What a missed opportunity.

Oh dear...... Looks like my bank account will be better off by £18 a week this year!

It will be interesting to see if Louis trys to regain control of the club from Chapman in the coming months. Certainly this move back up is not working out as alot of us would have hoped.

Nicholls over Harris any day of the week.... Nicholls cares about this town and club for Harris it would just be a pay cheque.

Oh no not Harris please..... If he arrives I'll give 2019 a miss we'll be so weak,

Good news is even if Ipswich get the wooden spoon we'll still have more trophies and less wooden spoons than kings lynn

Nice shout but he has already stated in the speedway star that it's GP's and Poland only for him this year.
