cowboy cookie returns?

Two meetings in for the new era Witches & so far I’ve been impressed. On track the same professionalism off track things seem to have kicked on a bit with social media interactions. The early signs are that Mayfield will keep their word & build on the Louis legacy. I think we all know this season is probably as season of consolidation before moving forward again in 27. I can think of at least one young rider mayfield need to talk to for 27. Until then I think we are in for an enjoyable 26 & we might even surprise a few along the way.

A great few days for suffolk Stars, canaries, Frick, Harris, Cook, Chapman, Clement, Darling, McLean you guys have taken one hell of a beating!! 😂

At least we know the pit gate is ok

That’s what a professional outfit does…. Different owners but fully professional as always. Well done Ippo

I thought it was a solid performance. Hellstrom Bangs impressed & once he gets dialled in will steadily improve. Scottie will also get better at home so happy with the team overall. Being in the pits afterwards the new owners seemed pretty pleased & encouraged with the crowd level. The track wasn’t great but with the possibility of rain & that rather gusty wind drying out what moisture was in the surface can’t complain really. All in all a positive opening the only negative for me was the announcer…..I wonder what Rob Chandler is up to??

I couldn’t attend last nights meet the riders due to other commitments, it would be interesting to know what was said by the new owners. I did however get up to Foxhall in the afternoon. Hellstrom Bangs looked quick & I think he is going to be entertaining great style. Tobias seemed very relaxed & happy. We all know what he can do when he feels settled. The others have all done more than enough laps around Foxhall so we know what they are about. I am optimistic about the season ahead especially given how late this all came together. The noise around Brennan not being there is amazing. The guy signed a contract in September for his polish club & their dates would have been in the diary months ago. Our press day would normally have been last week but again with the late completion of the take over there probably wasn’t a lot of choice. Lets get behind the club enjoy the speedway & hopefully this time next year we’ll have seen the fruits of Mayfields labour starting to pay off both locally & nationally.

All ready named at number 1

Press & practice day on Thursday for the new look or old look witches depending on your view point. Any way the new era starts. Thoughts on the season ahead? While I can’t see us defending the title I don’t think we will be a poor as some think. Wr are going to struggle at Belle Vue & Sheffield for sure.

Can’t beat a little piece of positivity

No idea however these are the sort of things that the BSPL & speedway futures need to be looking at. Especially if this band extends to other parts of the uk in the future.

Could the BSPL look at putting speedway into the valley greyhound stadium in wales now that wales have banned greyhound racing.

Northampton All Stars

If Tungate is one they will definitely need to find guests when he misses the Stansted flight 😂

Silence would be the preferred option in that case 😂

Slightly worried about mayfield now. Talking about better promotion & how the sport suites TikTok & that’s the way to draw a new audience then get Foz in to present. He sounded old hat when he did it before.

I have nothing against Stephen Foster. He has done wonders with getting speedway on the radio & plugs the sport when he gets the chance. Also he is a great guys. Its just when it comes to presenting I’d rather listen to the sound of paint drying!!

Oh I feel sleepy already…….no disrespect intended but he isn’t what is needed dull & dishwater springs to mind.

This Ipswich side may do better than we think. The owners have by the sounds of it written this year off. The fans have low expectations so the pressure will be off.

I don’t think we have seen the last of Jenkins at Ipswich. While I don’t think we’ll see him this year I think he’ll be back in 2027.

Using his dirt ometer in his garden saying box office

They should definitely try and put on a big meeting. If they could get permission maybe over two days at a weekend. Bags of space could have a weekend festival of speedway with food stalls live music etc

Mayfield sports confirmed as the new owners. It’s been known for a while it was them buying hence the worst kept secret.

The 1-7 is being released on Monday

Well the worst kept secret is now confirmed. Finally it’s a done deal!
