That may have initially been the intention, but it never materialised. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pob 545 Posted November 21, 2019 Louis was quoted in a recent podcast as saying that the deal was ongoing when asked about the sale of the club . I dont know what that means to the webbed fingered friends over the border in Narfolk but down in Suffolk we'd see that as no deal has been signed so imo the club never changed hands .

Have a link for the podcast? If it's a recent (in the last 2 months) I'd say that the "ongoing deal" is the negotiations for a buy back 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's a recent (in the last 2 months) I'd say that the "ongoing deal" is the negotiations for a buy back That was my thinking. But on the other hand it doesn't really bother me who owns who as long as we have speedway to watch.Especially when it means we now have the local derbies back.Even though they aren't like they use to be.

Chapman isn’t, and never was the owner of Ipswich Witches and probably now never will be now he’s no longer chair of the BSPA. I suggest you also read this weeks Speedway Star and the part titled “Stepping down”, in which the article starts with “Kings Lynn and Peterborough owner Keith Chapman”.

Try the link below at 4.00 minutes in , Louis takes about the proposed sale which hasn't happened yet ! https://www.ipswichstar.co.uk/sport/speedway/louis-looks-ahead-to-play-offs-and-back-on-the-season-1-6285927 Sounds like talks took place but no deal was ever signed so i will say again IMO the sale hasn't gone through . How can Uncle Buster be part of something it the deal wasn't signed ? Or do things work differently across the border ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For which I am sure Ipswich fans will be eternally thankful 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
