cowboy cookie returns?

It’s the same company that leases Foxhall stadium off the owners. You only have to look at the work done on the heath to see that Spedeworth under Dean Wood is a decent promotion to do business with. It does show the major issues the sport has when for years a speedway stadium Eastbourne won’t allow speedway to be ran there even the the owners are a speedway family. Couple that with Louis a guy who bleeds speedway getting out tells you all you need to know.

Hot off the press. A new premiership club is opening in the Portsmouth area. The Redknapp ‘bet victor’ Barons will take to the track in May 2026

Looked awful at Foxhall.

The asset system only applies while they are under contract to a club once that expires they are free agents. Given riders in 99% of cases only sign 1 season contracts meaning that they become free agents from Nov 1st each year. Therefore are not ‘assets’ of any club.

The way he went about his business in Birmingham. Top hats Del boys three wheeled van for announcing signs all very amateurish!! Light years behind what the sponsors & fans expect.

It won’t be Mr Tolley.

The asset system on stopped because it was against employment law therefore illegal 😀

I wouldn’t have thought Chris would put any stipulations in place as part of the sale. The buyer would have be left free to judge what works best for their business plan. Could be totally different to CL’s

The rumour a couple of months ago was that Louis would be involved at Northampton. Personally I can’t see it happening now as he has put Ipswich up for sale as things in British speedway no longer align for him. Also going from a stable club to one that could be a money pit isn’t the sort of thing I can see Chris gambling on.

He was due to be on gen x this morning now delayed until Monday at 9:45

To be honest, it would be a sad day if I lose my team. However looking at the future I just can’t see any sort of future for league speedway in this country. As hard as it is it might be better to go out on a high.

Louis delayed his radio interview until Monday now. I wonder what he’ll have to say & what the reasons could be for delaying again.

If you see del boys 3 Wheeler anywhere near Foxhall you know that instead of an ultra professional approach at Foxhall we’ll have an eccentric guy with a comedy top hat. Too be honest I don’t there is anyway Louis would sell up to top hat trolley!

If Ipswich does run in 2026 god knows what the team will be. Looks very much like 1 league at the moment. We all ready know we’ll have no Emil. Doyle I don’t think will be in a 1 league set up. Thompson & King already signed elsewhere. I guess maybe Brennan, Rew & Ellis as a top 3. If by some miracle the premiership carries on & Ipswich run are we looking at Doyle,Brennan,Rew,Ellis,King,Jenkins & Edward’s?

No the AGM has always been in November.

Unless there is a Harry Redknapp miracle around the corner I think league speedway is finished in this country by the end of 2028.

That’s all well & good until their income is at least cut by half.

Far better than the current circus! But yes it’s a pipe dream will never happen & we will be here in 2 or 3 years time discussing the death of league speedway in the uk. Unless there is something radical happening in the next few months.

Yep it is a dream but far better than the current set up overseeing a managed decline.

Any news on what’s happening with the Aces?

It will be interesting to see how the championship gets on when doubling up ends & the riders ask for bettter terms to cover their loss in earnings

What I would really like to see is. Louis pairs up with Dean Wood at spedeworth, Guy Nicholls & another sponsor like Halo. They then run a breakaway league with Ipswich other spedeworth venues & bring in Belle Vue, Lynn, Leicester & Sheffield. Only one venue would need infrastructure works. Halo provides the money ( a drop in the ocean) compared to their outlay in football & F1 Nicholls provides the track work equipment. The league Ipswich (Spedeworth Mildenhall (spedeworth) Northampton (spedeworth) Eastbourne (spedeworth) Belle Vue Kings Lynn Sheffield Leicester The difference being that sponsors would bank role the club’s & an independent chairman would oversee the league. Harry Redknapp & futures Ltd sorts out the tv coverage. The BSPA could then run the championship & NDL Happy days.

But in Louis case he has proven if it’s done correctly & professionally then it can work.
