From Today’s Star Track: Ipswich chairman Richard Coleman has big plans for Foxhall’s first ever SGP event and he admits that it begins with delivering track improvements. ”In 2027 , to have the biggest Speedway event that has ever been held at Foxhall is going to be quite something. It’s really important for Ipswich, the club, the Town, and the wider Suffolk region. We are already getting a lot of engagement from local businesses and projects that want to be involved. Hopefully we can deliver a great event next year”. ”What this does, is it allows us to spend money on the track that would be hard to justify just for club events. We want to get the racing to a very high standard at Foxhall, so we’re going to be making a lot of changes to the track surface. ”We’re going to change the shape a little bit, change the camber and improve the whole racing element of it”. ”To those asking questions about the track, I say reserve your judgment. The Foxhall track that you see today, will not be the Foxhall that you’ll see at the GP next year”. Playoff defeat and 2027 plans: News that the Witches will host the 2027 Great Britain GP softens the blow of their play off exit, as club bosses Richard Coleman and Andrew Chisholm now turn their attention to winter track work at Foxhall, as well as building a strong Premiership side. Hurry awaits news on the duo’s plans for next years team. He said “ Now it’s time to regroup and it’s down to Richard and Andrew what they want to do for next year. Let’s see what 2027 brings”.

So will it be rr or a guest fro Dan? This could go down to the wire, but i expect the Monarchs to sneak it.

That could actually help Leicester with Thompson's suprisingly high average, meaning all the Lions can take his rides. However Castagna in for Howarth is like waving the white flag i'm afraid. (just my opinion of course)

It's a mix of everything now but initiated from the top. This season should have been different, on paper it should have been a cert for top 4. It's actually a good septet put together. Almost immediately this season, it fell apart. Cause & effect is what's hit the club full in the face. A recent history of very poor (possibly cheap) sides, rider's not being sacked when they should, then still returning the following season, probably as a last resort due to other clubs not wanting them etc. Management rowing with rider's and visa versa. At King's Lynn it's all very public viewing.  It just breeds negativity, even around the terraces and you can just feel it and it really started from that Holder & Batchelor season. Every season from that point it's just gone down hill. Teams gets worse, admission goes up, rinse and repeat. Eventually, there's an atmosphere you just feel and it suffocates you, as an owner, a manager, a rider, and a fan. How, I do not know, but King's Lynn needs a reset, and a major one too. When you have potential like Rushen & Scott, in and around a club that constantly falls short of challenging for titles, that also becomes suffocating and can kill a young lads career. These 2 need to see and believe there's hope at King's Lynn, or they're better off looking elsewhere in 2027.  When a club can just stick it's chest out confidently, rider's will just follow that leader. Belle Vue is that leader right now, Coleman at Ipswich is talking a good game. If he proves it in 27, more riders will want a part of that.  King's Lynn needs to, and MUST change the approach to next season. It's 2026, people no longer get hoodwinked by words, actions have to be seen.

Apparently Dan Thompson has dislocated his shoulder in a training accident and will miss tomorrow night’s second leg. 

I think there’s a good chance he will be in the championship somewhere next year.
