  1. Zagar the season before last when they went on to win it? Controversially if I remember at the time.
  2. Well that certainly hasn’t been evidenced in his time at Ipswich so far, in fact he hasn’t looked remotely unstable. Slow out of the gate yes, but not erratic or error strewn.
  3. Are those that can’t “like” using an Android device? Works fine for me on iPad and iPhone.
  4. These are the kind that every supporter loves. Theres no doubt the Poole supporters would have been happier and more intrigued, by signing a teenager that nobody else in the other big leagues has yet picked up, rather than a near 30 year old with no pedigree whatsoever. You hope the promotion does their homework and the kid has something about them that they can nurture and see improve at their club. They might never amount to anything sure, most probably don’t, but they may blossom in to something very very good. It’s more exciting finding out than pretty much knowing what you’re going to get from this latest recruit.
  5. Foreverblue May have had a good point y’know. Brennan is a decent rider, but I’m not sure he was worth altering plans for.

  7. You’re right it is. Fair play to Poole for those prices.
  8. Agree. They definitely need to look in to better pricing tiers for different age ranges rather than all or nothing (or practically nothing). The argument against is probably policing that at the turnstiles.
  9. Just had a look at other clubs and Wolves to me seem to have pitched it perfectly previously. Under 7 free, 7-12 £1 and 13-18 £6. That eliminates the issue of groups of teens walking in for free, under 7’s no charge as they’re not going to be attending without a paying adult, and a token quid for the 7-12’s. Sensible pricing.
  10. Agree here to be honest. That’s the best way of doing it. The club get the attendance fee of the adult whilst the child is being introduced to the sport for free. Aries is correct, it is wrong that a group of teens can just walk in for free. At Ipswich it always used to be kids free with a paying adult, but for whatever reason, that changed to simply kids under 16 go free. End of the day it is still only a quid so hardly worth arguing over. Can’t even get a freddo for that these days.
  11. £250 last year, £260 this year, but admission has risen to £23 from £22 so it means a saving of an extra 3 quid on the 13 meeting season ticket as apposed to last year. Overall a saving of £39 if you attend all 13 fixtures, or 20 quid a meeting.
  12. Ours are better changes no doubt about it, but I wouldn’t read too much in to that in regards to next year. Let’s not forget Belle Vue were comfortably better than Ipswich this year, the table doesn’t lie. Results over a 2 legged semi like we saw can happen in one off (or two off if that’s a saying ) meetings.
  13. Not sure on the reasoning TTT, dunno if clubs were told they had a bye or whether they wanted fewer meetings and requested it, but personally I’d rather have the extra meeting to go and watch. Not enough meetings as it is for me.
  14. https://ipswichwitches.co/2024-signing-dan-thompson/ Dan Thompson confirmed.
  15. Jenkins alluded to his average going up that meant he wasn’t eligible for the Rising Star anymore. His average is 4.21 so I’m guessing the threshold is 4.00? Rowe is 3.76
  16. We thought that last year with Brennan so who knows how the rules are interpreted this year..
  17. https://ipswichwitches.co/2024-signing-jordan-jenkins/ Jenkins confirmed.
  18. I’m not falling in to any trap, Daniel, it’s just common sense. There isn’t a single Kings Lynn supporter including you if you’re honest, that would pick MPT over either Harris or Lawson. You just wouldn’t. You’re relying on MPT to put a point and a half on his average to match the two mentioned, and that’s if they both stand still average wise! Its irrelevant anyway as it seems both were targeted but decided to move elsewhere so the choice wasn’t there.
  19. Then that’s just unlucky unfortunately and even more frustrating! Stick either of the two mentioned in that line up and it would have looked tasty. Fine margins. Still has potential though. If Wotsit does similar to what Tenko did this year then it could be in the mix. Gonna be even more impossible to predict the play of four this time. Luck will play a huge part.
