I'm beginning to think that they are delaying it because someone leaked the date!! Maybe they think is fans are gonna turn into the January 6th rioters or something! If it is delayed, hopefully it is too allow something good to happen, rather than their trying to stop something bad happening, but so knows. They don't like to tell the fans.  They are not building teams, seeing budgets or offering contracts at the conference. They are signing off on the structure and rules for next season hoping that FANS will support their decisions (or at least not walk away from the turnstiles). You can't please all the fans, but surely speedway needs to focus on what brings fans through the gates and paying money in to keep the sport going. Fans aren't the only consideration but they are just as important as the other stakeholders in the sport. I do find is strange that given importance of what is agreed at the conference with regards to what hairdryer the next season, I find it strange that they don't tell fans when the will hear the league structure, points limits, rule changes etc. And it also seems that some years they forget to announce some of the rule tweaks etc

The picture is from the 1975 season. From left to right, Fred Mills, Kevin Jolly, Bernie Klatt, Roger Austin, Alan Witt, Graham Kerry, Stan Stevens with Sir Bob Coles on the machine 

Personally I think this is the best move for all parties. He rides Leicester far better than Foxhall so I think it’s a much better signing for Leicester, then it would have been for Ipswich to retain him on his current average. Good luck to him he’s been great for us.

Hope so, i can see Zach really pushing on next season 

I said “wouldn’t” match, not couldn’t flagrag.  Good luck to the lad but he owes Chris Louis a great deal of gratitude for helping move his career on an upward trajectory after originally being dumped by Leicester in the first place.  There was little difference between the Thompson twins at the time Ipswich signed him. That gap is now as big as the Grand Canyon.

With Middlo saying today that both Cook Brothers will be back at Baillie House next season, I wonder if this indicates any changes in thinking - either from Club or Rider?
