  1. Troy has generally been exemplary with fans & sponsors, he's getting something out of it i.e. money & an ego rub. The issue is he's always been difficult with those that employed or managed him because they wanted something from him. He's never been one for giving his 100% to the cause.
  2. Being a Billy Bighead will come back & bite one day. Such a wasted talent who believed he didn't have to work hard. Talent only gets you so far. A lesson for any kid that dreams of being the best.
  3. Depends, saying you're a winner then include Andersen & be 2 points under the limit would be seen as very stupid. Quite possible Buster has pulled off an astonishing coup selling a homeless Speedway club. Tomlin could quite well be doubly stupid Just because someone owns their own business doesn't make them financially clever.
  4. So which is? Tomlin has full control or Buster can still say no? Can't be both
  5. Mountain will get the 25% only, not both reductions.
  6. The Poole & Coventry threads used to be pretty big in the off season
  7. He was splashing images on social media of him knoshing on holiday
  8. Maybe he's getting pulled off too, so is offering his services at a lower rate
  9. Sums are a little less simplistic when saying how many extra fans are required to pay for him. You need an average sum for the equivalent rider that would be in the team on a similar average. I can't see many rider's on a per point rate on a similar average accept less than £200. On a rough 7.00 average the ordinary Joe would earn £1,800+ inc bonus points per meeting. Nicki P wouldn't take bonus point money on fixed rate so would be £500pp. 9/10 sponsorship will cover the difference rather than people through the gate.
  10. Many, if not all top rider's demand per meeting these days. £3.5k is a bargain for Nicki P
  11. Peterborough will have a team of 20 rider's by March with all these definite signings, so added another rumour. Must be linked to Peterborough somewhere
  12. Keep quiet, go under the radar, BANG........ League winners. Don't need to keep the club in people's minds to much in the off season, mid February is when the chat from the club should start
  13. Geez, what I've heard today will blow your minds. Wout Weghorst is 10x the player than Erling Haaland
  14. Maybe he's just invited himself for the p!$$ up
  15. I have a feeling Ipswich will release Riss & use both Holder & Tungate.
  16. Well, King's Lynn's hopes of top 4 increase with every week that passes & Ipswich & Peterborough keep p!$$ing about. There's a lot to be said for get your team's done quickly, to much risk waiting on indecisive rider's & federations. If a rider says "don't know, not sure, may be", time to move on & find someone else.
  17. Ipswich not releasing Tungate & Holder now potentially saying no, I'd say that's falling apart From Holder & Tungate to Worrall & Andersen is a disaster
  18. Would any of you Ipswich fans change Erik Riss to add in Holder & Tungate?? Thing's seem to be falling apart over at Peterborough
  19. Thing is, even if Peterborough get Holder & Ipswich refuse Tungate to Peterborough, I can see Tungate saying "no thanks" to Ipswich. Which would mean they'd lose both Tungate & Worrall as Worrall will be at Peterborough. This could get really really really messy
  20. Scrap that. Found this that says Tungate is still an asset. So yes, Ipswich can withhold his signing for any other club https://www.eadt.co.uk/sport/20662920.ipswich-witches-ring-changes-two-riders-two-riders/
