But we’ve already been told we’ve signed riders. Just because none have been announced doesn’t mean riders haven’t signed on. Louis likes to reveal the full 7 in one go.

Charles Wright confirmed as fourth signing.

Doubt we’ll see Allen at Foxhall. Would be nice though..

I suspect they’ve released them for those that will buy them regardless, and believe it or not plenty do. They’ll also know that the majority will be sold once the team is known. But a few early sales will no doubt help the cash flow at the club. At the end of the day Louis said he’s aiming to announce the full team by Christmas, which is only a fortnight away so no real biggie.

I guess it’s a chance to hear the latest from CL this evening. If anyone attending can relate any interesting snippets on here later it would be very much appreciated. I’d attend myself if I wasn’t working.

Probably why he’s just flogged Paco to Brum. It’s paid for his ticket..

Hartel is an Ipswich asset. He became one before a wheel had been turned apparently Dont ask me how riders become “assets” these days, I’ve long given up trying to understand the criteria for becoming one

That’s because Louis’ preference is to name the team in one go. As soon as rider number 7 is signed, he’ll name the team. He never has been one to “drip feed” his septet.

Very much doubt it..

Not confirmed anywhere yet Blu. Maybe tomorrow?

So as expected, Rory goes back to Wolves. Cook is off to the Pussycats, so just who IS going to be our heatleaders? Nicholls and King you’d expect are Certainties, but neither are heatleaders. Maybe third heatleader at a push but we’ll need bigger hitters than those two. Lets just hope Louis can pull a Rabbit out of the hat and this mystery foreigner is a good un! He’s going to need to be!!

I’d take Cam at reserve also, but the Cam that finished the season not the one who started! He was awful for Wolves, but that coincided with his poor form in general for us. There’s no doubt he didn’t do himself justice and he’s far far better than he showed. When you look at some of the riders who get reserve berths in the top flight, you’d have to say Cam is better than quite a few of them in the second tier. You could argue that some of the second strings as well. If he comes back much better prepared this time, I’d have no problem with him at reserve.

The truth is that NOBODY on here knows. We don’t know to what extent their business relation is. The deal with Peterborough could be totally different from the deal he has with Ipswich. We know Louis has insisted on certain clauses and has a buy back option, we haven’t heard of anything similar with Peterborough. One Lynn fan told us on here not to expect any rider announcements this side of Christmas, it’s the Buster way. And yet Peterborough have just announced two and we’re looking to reveal the full 7 before Christmas! Nobody knows exactly what details are involved with this so called “commercial” deal.

Dad’s Army? Think you’ve mistaken us for the Pussycats there Col! Two signings confirmed, one 36 and the other 38. They now just need to sign up the Silver Fox to add a 40 something and they’ll have a full regiment

I actually feel a bit better reading that. We know Louis is as passionate about Ipswich as any of us, and it’s good to know that he’s insisted on clauses to buy the club back if he’s not happy with the way things turn out. He’s still very much in the picture.

Louis working on the “final details” of a buy back clause with Keith Chapman. Things will then be evaluated in 12 months time, according to the Speedway Star today. Louis hopes to have the team sorted by Christmas, with “a focus on the sharp end”. “An awful lot of groundwork has gone in to it and I definitely feel like we are getting closer. “We’re working very hard on an exciting top end and that influences what else you can do within the points limit. We are looking at a good top end which means slightly less strength somewhere else but that’s normal in team building”. Interesting. Can surely only mean one thing, welcome Tai Edit: Tungate hasn’t had a single call and is concerned about a team place in 2019. He’s text both Chris Louis AND Hawkins, and hasn’t had a reply off either. Think we can discount him

Maybe, but I’d take Cook over both of those personally.

Then you have to beg the question why didn’t we just stay put? Or was Louis given an offer he couldn’t refuse by Chapman to enable the Premiership to run with enough clubs? More questions than answers. After my initial positivity of moving up, that positivity is turning to negativity with each passing day! Lets hope we’re all pleasantly surprised....

Unless that “plus 1” is Tai Woffinden then that side has bottom written all over it

You could also argue, that the team that finishes top isn’t ALWAYS the “best”, but the luckiest! Many factors can contribute, including injuries (obviously) and timing. Some teams meet opponents who are noticeably weaker than the rest and pick up the points, whereas others meet them just after they’ve strengthened up due to a drop in the averages. Its the only way we can judge who is the best over the season, and it’s as close to fair as we’ll ever get. But it’s certainly a fallacy to suggest that the top team is always the best.

Which would you prefer? Come on now it’s a very simple question!!

It’s a pretty simple question to answer! What would you prefer, Lynn to finish 4th next season and win the title and take the trophy, or finish 1st and win nothing but a few condescending pats on the back? It’s a simple question that I’m pretty sure I know your answer to!!

You didn’t answer the question? And of course it’s all about winning! This is SPORT!

Why are you bringing up a convicted cheat? Totally irrelevant. Look, 2019 if you could choose Lynn to top the table and win F all, or finish fourth and take home the title and trophy, what would you prefer?

The “facts” state that Poole were 2018 title winners and will have that honour added to their honours list. Kings Lynn won’t. Simple as that.
