Wow major effort made here, and the 6th team does exist. I'm sure we will get some teams put up during the day, but as previously hinted on here by some, clearly Lidsey,Tungate,Riss,Kerr,Wright,Iversen come into play, maybe Rew,Jenkins,Harrison (RS), but brilliant to see another track in the Prem. Will be a tough 1st season, but exciting news at a traumatic time for UK Speedway and could quite easily finish above Ipswich in the table come September.

Seems the new owner's are changing quite a bit, and to be fair, probably the right thing to do, start with a complete overhaul. The Kevin Long thing isn't something we didn't know about as he said at the Presentation Evening in November he was retiring, bit surprised by the Love in Yesterday, as he got rewarded on Presentation evening. Yes he has been very loyal, and as ive been going since 1980, he was one of the better ones in the League over a long period of time, but things change, and i know he will be hard to replace, but he will be replaced and we hope the next person in is just as good, over the past few years in my opinion, there are certainly better people on the microphones at other clubs than Kevin, So Thanks again Mr Long for your service, but definitely the right time to be walking away. As for the Chris Louis Video, watched it....Once, That's enough, Move On. As it's been said by so many people(And i'm not saying they are wrong)we are lucky we have got Speedway At Foxhall for 2026,but for me this season, i certainly will watch Kings Lynn at home most weeks and hopefully the odd Thursday trip to Leicester, not forgetting supporting Jordan Jenkins for the odd weekend up in Redcar. So thankfully the Speedway diary is as full as can be expected, Manchester included, so let's get it started.

Ipswich...5th If Northampton come to tapes...Then Ipswich 6th Top 4 is a different proposition, they will all look to win at Foxhall, some will, Ipswich could win some, and we know the team can change quickly. and they certainly will need to,but 1st Sheffield 2nd King's Lynn 3rd Leicester 4th Belle Vue To be fair those 2 could swap places

Spot on Dean....Seriously Embarrassing....That statement last night, has given us nothing we didn't know, apart from we have 5 riders signed, whereas before team plans were completed, don't believe any of it. 2 Weeks time is virtually March....

It's not as negative as it could be, i've said it's my opinion, and i standby it, i would say what's more negative on the whole situation is the way the loyal fans have been treated....But as iv'e siad..And i standby it, we must not knock Mr Louis....Whatever Next....And been going to Foxhall since 1980, so entitled to an opinion.

We are all guessing as per usual, but not in November....February 7th, something like 5 weeks before the season normally starts. It's painful, and as so many say, at least we have Speedway at Ipswich this season.....But do we?? But no point in giving an opinion on Louis on here, god forbid it's negative towards him, so keep my opinions to myself on Mr Louis. As for the team, as i say, if we race, and not forgetting the pipe dream by Morris's statement there is a 6th team, we are all just throwing names out there, and hoping we are right. For what it's worth, i agree we don't need Danny King this season, but most of us probably think he is in there somewhere, but as a Heat Leader, how much of a bad look is that for this so called new era, can't believe any new owner would have Mr King as a Heat Leader....Speedway suicide. So let's say he is in somewhere, i would say those that are saying Tom Brennan is at Number 1.....For me No chance, plus Jenkins i believe will be in the side at 6. I think the Number 1 is key to the whole season, again....If we come to tapes. Lambert...Would be a statement i suppose, not sure if us loyal fans would really take to Lambert, but it's better than King being a heat leader. I wouldn't rule out Woofinden, if it is Mayfield Sports, then for me he has to come into the scenario. Rew and Ellis wont be doing UK if you believe what we hear and what both have said, so that's them 2 gone, Lawson, i could see that, but for me the 1 rider who has hardly had a mention, but i think could be in is Klindt. So like the rest of you i'm guessing, can't comment true feelings on Louis and the sale, and the team is pie in the sky stuff. I'm still not convinced we come to tapes, and i'm not convinced everybody will be pleased we have Speedway at Foxhall, if it's a put together side like Birmingham last season, not quite sure the fans will except that, and the blame for that does turn up at one man's door....Oh mustn't say that...Damn 1 Woofinden/Lambert(Pipe Dream),Michelsen,Wozniak,Vaculik,Thomsen....Yes none of them probably can even ride here 2 3 Musielak 4 Klindt/Lawson 5 Brennan 6 Jenkins 7 Edwards The wait goes on........

Correct....Rushden was not always a Lynn certainty, the decision by Louis to sell changed Rushden's mind from his preferred club, but he is now at Lynn and im sure he will do well there before he moves to Ipswich in the future.

I wouldn't read into anything about Woofinden being at Sheffield #justsaying. But then again, i wouldn't read into any rumours concerning any riders being linked with an Ipswich septet, but convinced more will become much clearer this week.

I Don't know much,i certainly can confirm Buster has NOTHING to do with the takeover at Foxhall....100%

We as loyal fans (1981 was my 1st visit) all have opinions on what's gone on or going on at Ipswich, i enter my 44th season, give or take a couple i took a break from, and i totally back @Aries in everything he has said. We can all say about what if we were in a position on losing money, that situation i can't argue with, you would consider selling it, that's obvious, but the Radio Silence for all of us fans for me is simply poor, irrelevant at what he has done for the club as a rider and a promoter through the years, just be honest with the loyal supporters who has backed him and his family for years. His silence is painful for so many. As a very loyal Ipswich fan, i now can see all the frustrations that Wolves,Peterborough,Swindon,Lakeside and many more, to many to name, supporters feel at all the uncertainty surrounding their clubs. Now it's our turn, and i hold my hand up it's painful. There maybe 2 bidders on the table, there maybe more, but until Louis lowers his asking price, it's simply not going to sell. Yes its controversial, and yes there are Witches fans rolling their eyes at my post, but I've spent many evenings travelling the country Home and Away supporting Ipswich for years, and in my own honest opinion, my loyalty towards Chris and the situation is wearing thin. Not saying loads agree with me, just giving an honest opinion. Clubs already naming riders (That's the 4 teams that remain), but as we sit here this evening, there is NO guarantee Ipswich come to tapes, irrelevant of the Fine @PhilTheAce is talking about, that simply won't happen, as we all know rules and regulations in this sport are not worth the paper they are written on. I would say we are closer to NOT running than people think, unless as i read on here earlier today Chris is calling people's bluff and he remains in charge, but for me if he does that, he will have a lot of rebuilding to do with the Supporters. I hope i'm 100% wrong, and we race, but im nowhere near as confident as some. Many Apologies for the long post. Tomorrow is another day???

I also wouldn't count Bewley at Belle Vue Phil...Let's wait and see, that certainly isnt a given whoever you have spoken to today, unless of course it's Dan himself, but i know that isnt true

Not sure On Bewley being at Belle Vue, but don't think your far out with the other 6. But what a dreadful few months for all of us supporters following the Sport we love, always the last to know anything, but they soon want our money when the season starts. But who knows what Teams will be put together, some will be pleased it's running with 5 Teams, but for me it's a watered down league, that has shambles written all over it.

So looks like it's true...No Fricke at Leicester next season.....Those calling Dougy at 1 are spot on. Question is will Fricke return to the UK and if he does who can afford him or even more to the point, who can fit him in with his average.

Correct BluPanther, it won't be 36, sadly silly season is upon us, but the 36 limit is certainly not happening. When it comes to the Witches, i would imagine, Doyle,Brennan and Rew will be in there somewhere, not sure what Danny will do, i would also imagine there is a chance of Jordan Jenkins at 6 with Edwards as the R/S and Dan T could find himself at the NSS. That's not me starting any rumour, that's what i think could happen.

This is the 1 team that i can't wait to see....If rumours are true(And they are normally not this time of the year) there won't be no Bewley at Belle Vue next season. Ben Cook i'm sure will return, but can,t wait to see who Belle Vue announce as their 7.
