Flappy 1,605 Posted September 6, 2021 8 points for Jack Thomas including two heat wins after a trio of duck eggs in the lower league. Big credit to him 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let everyone hope that the proud name regroups for next season and invites riders who want to do well for Ipswich first and foremost. It is a shame that the team is fodder for every other team in this league. A clear out Is needed and I would also make changes at the top. Hawkins needs to go along with at least five of the current line up. Fresh start and new hope cannot be achieved without wholesale changes. This alongside a change in presentation and something more that 15 heats of four laps interspersed with gardening and tractor speed trials no longer cuts it. CL sits on the top table so do something about the sad state that the sport is in and do something about re-establishing Ipswich as a force to be reckoned with and not a laughing stock who are currently taking the p of every fan who has loyally supported the club. Well said. First & foremost the sport needs a major top to bottom overhaul with a lot more thought put into presentation & value for money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a Panthers fan but even I've been rooting from Crumpy to get a few points on the board because it's just sad to see such a legend go out like this.

LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted September 6, 2021 Chants of "Wolverhampton Wolves, we're coming for you" are ringing around the Showground. I'd be worried if I was a Wolves fan. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cowboy cookie returns? 747 Posted September 6, 2021 To be honest I'd keep King & Kemp. King he is a dependable heat leader & will probably maintain his average again next year. Kemp the local lad who seemed pumped pre season but for whatever reason seemed to have struggled around Foxhall. However certainly has the talent. Of the rest Allen has been a huge disappointment not sure what's up with him. Is it just that he wasn't prepared to ride this year or is there more to the story. Rowe started like a train but has tailed off would possibly consider him again for next year. Cook has done ok but not for me. Starke up & down but certainly always gives 100% in any normal times I'd welcome him back but the side needs a major overhaul so sadly he's a no Crump came in as the box office signing & I honestly think he would have been ok had he not been injured at Wolves. Hopefully he'll go back into retirement, I don't really want to remember him as a struggling reserve. Of those the rest of the original 2020/21 side Covatti & Heeps both part of the old guard so no thank you. Klint I'd still like to see him line up as a witch but will he be available? It's certainly.gonna be an interesting winter not only for Ipswich speedway but speedway in general. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
