Anyone know what Chris Holder’s form was like abroad last year?

A reserve pairing of Ayres and Covatti looks a promising one and a very entertaining one as well. If Nico moves up in to the team then he’ll be replaced by someone equally as strong if not stronger. All good.

You’d think now that Christmas and New Years is out the way we should get confirmation of the final 3. Maybe next week?

It’s been well documented what has happened at Ipswich. The original intentions were that Chapman was to purchase the club from Chris Louis, albeit with certain clauses attached. For reasons only known to those involved, that purchase never materialised. Whether that was down to Chapmans end or Chris Louis having second thoughts, or something else entirely we’ll probably never know. What we do know, because Chris Louis has said so himself, is that Keith Chapman isn’t, and never has been the owner of Ipswich Witches despite the initial intentions. Anyway, this is the Panthers thread..

Hartel is a Witches “asset”.

If it’s the 3 rumoured then we’re going with Ayres and one strong reserve. Covatti or Nicholls? Rumour is they’ve gone with the former and that’s the right decision IMO.

Eh? Not sure if you’re suggesting it’ll never happen, or you think it’d be a poor signing?

Klindt Allen King Heeps C Holder Covatti Ayres So we’re looking at this septet then. Competitive and has a chance of top 4 imo.

Agree, but what’s the betting he rocks up at Foxhall with Peterborough and bangs in a higher score than we saw all season? Wouldn't surprise me!

Why would he do that? He’s now neither chairman of the BSPA or the owner of Ipswich of which he never was despite the intentions. Chapman won’t be helping Ipswich with anything currently.

Well that’s the four we all knew we’d signed, it’s the next three which will be interesting. I guess we won’t see anymore this side of Christmas.

Interestingly, the Speedway Star calculates that the four we’ve signed are 3.7 points more expensive combined than they would have been this time last year

Thorsell confirmed.

As expected, King confirmed.

It’s BWD. Confirmed in today’s Speedway Star.

Had to be a golfing gif didn't it! So that’s Dann....erm rider number 4 confirmed in the morning.

Not bad for a gating tart who can’t pass

Ipswich 2020 eh?

Klindt confirmed as Witch number 3. https://ipswichwitches.co/2020-witchesnicolai-klindt/

3rd Witch confirmed tomorrow morning. King or Klindt? Whichever one it is, the other will be confirmed later this week

Whether you agree with people’s opinions or not I’m just pleased he seems to be alive and well. When a prolific poster suddenly stops posting you do have to wonder sometimes.

Think the point is 7.16 isn’t a figure you’d call expensive for a rider of his calibre. Whether you think he’d increase it or not is up for debate and I personally think he’d push that up towards the 8 mark, but you certainly wouldn’t call him a poor signing on such a figure.

What happened to “TNT” on here? Was a prolific poster but haven’t seen him on here for a while..

Don’t think anyone would argue that he’s not the rider he was at his peak, but you’d still take him on that figure surely. I would.
