If this is to be the Ipswich team then it’s another tick on my Coleman BS bingo card.  Coleman has stated the need for younger teams as his top five last year had an average age of 37. This year by sticking to his principles he has managed to get it down to 36. Little wonder he has raided the Belle Vue Babes in an attempt to get his total team average down. They do say imitation is the best form of flattery. Thank you Richard.  One interesting quote on the 360 Podcast. “stressed that if the sport doesn't make an active, interventionist decision to "plant the tree today," it has no future” What I wasn’t expecting was rather than plant the tree he decided to rip one up from another garden and plant it in his. Top guy.  Stay tuned for more Coleman BS bingo to follow. Get yer dobbers out.

If Belle Vue for example try to block a move for a 4.50 Nilsson. Then Ipswich should block a Belle Vue move for Pawelczak on a 6.00. Introduce a new rule in 2027 that states all non-GP top tier Polish League riders will be given a minimum 7.00 assessed average due to them being classed as part of the Elite. Pettiness can work both ways.

If he could ride at no 6, I think he'd be worth a shot. But if he has to ride in the top 5 due to being over 21, I wouldn't take him on.

Can't whack a couple of points on someone's assessed average purely based on them having a great night in a one off meeting. It's the GP qualifying criteria that's silly because any half decent rider is capable of having a good night on the bike to a point where they find themselves in the GP's. Nilsson has been riding in the lowest Polish tier for Landshut along with riders like Leon Flint, Erik Riss, Charles Wright. Other riders in that League are Thorssell, Masters, Lahti and co. which is British engine room standard. This year Mayfield were rumoured to sign Thorssell at one stage on a 4.50 and as I highlighted last night Oxford signed Gusts on a 4.50 in 2025 while Nilsson doesn't meet criteria's mentioned in the 2026 rule book. Therefore everything points towards 4.50 even if I admit that it's a little on the low side.

Riss or Kemp? Both are risks, if you take aside the illness then I'm sure 99 out of 100 you pick Riss and the 1 is Kemps mother. If it is Rissk then as mentioned on here you have to have a back up plan in your team No matter how happy people were to see Danny back I'd have gone with Brennan over Danny, if Nilsson is a 4.5 then yes, and would have allowed for a much stronger rider over Riss/Kemp etc.
