I was speaking to a club representative at the derby meeting a couple of weeks ago and the person indirectly referenced Howarth’s imminent “break” and Nagel’s return. Whether or not there’s any truth in that, I can’t be certain.

pathetic comment but as expected. 

Once again thats a very good interview and I’m more impressed every time I hear him speak. I know there’s fans of other clubs who wont be as enthused about him coming in because they’ll see it as a competitor being in rude health and potentially having strong teams in the near future which will harm their own clubs chances of success and i totally understand that. It’s natural as a fan to think that way.    BUT, what they need to understand is the bloke seems genuinely more interested in pulling British Speedway up off the floor and getting it back on its feet than prioritising Ipswich’ individual success. As he says “Ipswich will need somebody to race against” and he clearly wants a thriving British league so everybody should be behind him because its in everyones interest not just Ipswich. The little smirk when he was talking about some just wanting to keep “The status quo” and some not being receptive to his ideas was probably an indication that he's fully aware he’s up against it. Every single one of us know exactly who he’s talking about without him even having to name them! Until these absolute dinosaurs who want to continue limping along each year, reducing the points limit each year and doing the bare minimum each year, become extinct, then I fear he’ll be fighting a losing battle.    You can bet your last Rolo that they’ll absolutely despise Richard Coleman.

Can someone clarify the rules for me. I was always under the impression that rider replacement could not be used where a rider was withholding his services which is in effect what Kyle is doing. Doesn't he have to be replaced by a 3 point  average rider?

He was en route to Ippo (I think it was the day after he missed the Denmark meeting) but the gastroenteritis kicked in again and he was told to go home. He got a 7 day ban for a non-speedway injury.

Never said any different
