Belle Vue being very sensible. Just pity about a breakdown between Sparta and the club. Depends on which way you look at it. Ipswich riders since before christmas have been to many corporate functions and also time at local schools as well as the ties with the football club. The promotion are getting the riders out there and getting maximum exposure from the town. There isnt a right or wrong way in my opinion its whatever works for the club and the community Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because its ridiculous , we all more or less know the remaining 5 riders just announce them FFS People who are on the internet trawling speedway sites 24/7 know who the line-up is. But there are actually less-sad people out there who have a life outside of speedway, and don't spend every hour November to February trying in seek out every morsel of information in the hope of hearing some item of minutiae before someone else. Announcing 7 riders one-by-one gives 7 separate news items in the local press, and 7 different chances to catch the eye of the casual viewer. Heaven forbid that a non-fan just happens to see an item in a newspaper in January/February about the signing of a new speedway rider for the upcoming season and thinks "hmmmm I might go along and see what that's all about" 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Belle Vue team shaping up very nicely Don't also forget a whole 1.21 lower than his other team mate who finished third in the series Edited January 15, 2018 by Pirates Of Poole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Louis actually commented when he revealed the Ipswich 1-7, that although some clubs like to drip feed, he much prefers to do a full 1-7 reveal as soon as the signatures are on the contracts. That’s his prerogative and works best for HIM. Just because your promoter/Club prefers to drip feed, doesn’t mean the way Chris Louis prefers to do it is “stupid” There’s so much to be done over the winter that Louis prefers to get the team side of things out the way as soon as possible, and then concentrate on the business side of things like sponsorship etc. Each to their own. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The BBC know which contestants will be competing in Strictly Come Dancing by early summer. Why do they only reveal them one at a time in the last few weeks leading up to the programme's start in mid-September? See if you can work out this homework on your own.
