He may have made it public saying he wants to honour his contract but does the club, or does Nicolai know he won't honour it and was trying to gloss over to look good to fans etc. Crump does look likely however on average but commercially perhaps sponsors have put more money into the club based on Crump riding, and does CL believe Crump will put more bums on seats at Foxhall, I am sure non Witches fans would travel at least once if they live local-ish just to watch Crump ride if their own side isn't running in the Premier League. It's going to be very interesting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crump to Peterborough I don't think Jason will get a team place to be honest. I think clubs are going to remain loyal to most riders they signed for 2020. I've started a topic on Troy Batchelor too as I don't see how Troy or Crumpy are going to fixed up with such a low points limit being set with clubs also being loyal to most riders signed for the cancelled 2020 season.

Nicolai is mustard around Ipswich too so I cant imagine Chris Louis picking Crump over Klindt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ipswichwitches 16 Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) So, I'm sure I read it was 6 man teams next year, but re-reading the BSPA site, it says Premiership clubs will build their teams up to a combined average of 35.5 for six riders plus a British youngster graded four and below. So that means 7 man sides. Making an assumption that Crump will unfortunately not ride here this season and Kemp will be the British youngster: King: 6.66 Klindt: 7.43 Heeps: 6.30 Allen: 5.56 TBC TBC Kemp: 3.00 That's a total of 25.95, leaving 9.55 for the final 2 places. Plenty of food for thought there. Edited January 21, 2021 by ipswichwitches Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crump will be @ Ipswich 100% as stated he will put bums on seats & has joint sponsors with the team in addition his return is such a boost to British speedway the BSP will help make it happen.

Baldyman 6,243 Posted January 22, 2021 I'm guessing for a club like Ipswich, it's going to be more about bums on seats than a winning team this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
