Ipswich is well backed …. But why?? Maybe the sponsors see how well run the club is and back the club You don’t get good sponsors by running your show badly!! Granted the sponsorship has helped secure Jason and Emil … but it’s not like the sponsor decided to go to the leagues most successful teams and sponsor them …. They chose Ipswich so ask yourself why??? Because the club was run badly or run well?

Clown You don’t think Chris Louis was a good promoter then you are clueless What is a promoter supposed to do? Bankrolled thousands of his own money into the club Ran the club on a huge financial safety net Promoted the club locally year upon year and brought sponsorship into the team Had the highest average gates all season Brought high class riders into the side … riders who wanted to ride for the club and riders who have regularly stated how much of a family club it is and all riders are happy I suggest you shut up about the Emil situation as you clearly have no idea what went on behind the scenes to make that happen and what it cost Chris personally…. And that signing helped every club who always had higher attendances when Emil was I town a true class act You love to stick the boot in at every opportunity you can to Ipswich …. Occasionally not knowing the facts and most of the time just spouting crap Imagine having the best track in the UK and one of the most entertaining riders in the world in Bewley and still not getting good crowds … what Belle Vue could do with a promoter like Louis

Yes he averaged 4.81….. pretty average/poor … but he did donuts so all is good

Shock horror it’s the Belle Vue fans moaning Louis hasn’t thrown his toys out of his pram… Those close to the club know how much money Chris has ploughed into the sport at Foxhall .. his own money ,… the hardest working promoter in the league with the sports interests at the forefront including the recent Tigers academy Unfortunately other promotions don’t share his vision Why should he keep ploughing his own money into something that will bear little or no reward … he is done and I can t blame him He has young grandchildren and he spends 7 days a week almost at Foxhall along with his wife Julie Maybe just maybe with all the expenditure he has put in … all the time and effort (most fans don’t know how much money and time he put in to get Emil over here)…. And the sport going backwards that he feels all of that and at his age of 56 that he might want to spend time at home with family and enjoy his years??? To many people on here mainly Belle Vue clowns who think they know it all when they are absolutely clueless

Hawkins also leaving

Louis has put the club up for sale End of an era and the end of Ipswich speedway

Why are the Poole fans worried what Glasgow think of Thomsen? It’s merely a point of view about how riders ride different tracks Poole would be wasting their time signing a team of racers like say Harris or Pickering or Wright because the Poole track suits gaters There are probably riders of less overall ability then Thomsen who would do better with Glasgow as a home track Bit like when Kurtz rides Foxhall as he is awful there and riders like Lawson and Kvech who are more of a danger to us then Kurtz

Totally agree As I said all sorts of rumours flying around

Some interesting points came out of the town hall parade today Rew wants to come back Ellis doesn’t want to do british speedway next season Dan T has been offered good money elsewhere Doyle Brennan and Edwards already signed Jenkins was the only rider NOT asked if he wants to come back All of these are rumours by the way lol

First team a mile off There is no way Ipswich will not have a team with 2 of King Rew and Ellis in it You have also missed Dan T off of both teams and he will be back We have 3 certain starters … Doyle , Brennan and Thompson … the rest will be dependent on the new points limit

I’m sure one day you will actually work out how the sport goes with regards to home and away matches You won away at Kings Lynn, Oxford twice and Birmingham … in a 7 team league they were the 3 weakest You have built a team that can’t ride at a track like Ipswich or Leicester ….. certain riders go better at certain tracks Your 1-7 is better than Kings Lynn … but none of your team can ride Foxhall where as riders like Kvech Klindt Harris and Lawson go well there As an Ipswich fan I’d have much rather faced a team of riders that can’t ride Foxhall then a team that can Come to us next season with the same 1-7 and you have no chance

Great post… unlike some of your fellow supporters

Poole fans what a disgrace walking our before the end of heat 15…… Said it before the fan base are fickle and can’t handle losing Well done Redcar the track awful and what was Lawson playing at I just hope Cooper Rushen does not go there next season it could ruin his career

Wouldn’t travel all that way for a total mis match absolutely not lol Ive been to Poole a few times when it was decent back in the day and Mark Lorams farewell …. Wouldnt even fork out to watch Ipswich at home to Poole rather keep my money for a closer contest

But that’s 6 of the 7 from last season that were woeful away from home and the one rider you left out in Zach Cook was awesome at home Brady and Dan are the best top 2 in the league Id definitely have Brennan over Lidsey With Blodorn he was awful last season maybe the SGP2 win will help him but he basically was the worst number 2 in the league All season your fans moaned about the 2 reserves and Norick and now you want all 3 back?

Lots of rumours of only one rider over 8….. Belle Vue have to let someone go and it won’t be Kurtz

This is still going on Poole set up their track to win matches …. It’s boring it’s tedious and it’s not exactly speedway … they signed a team of primarily gaters and no real racers so they aren’t going to make the track for a racer The thing is as most speedway fans of a certain age know is that Poole fans only want to win … good ethos maybe … but if the Poole team had 7 racers and great home meetings then the fans would stay away if the team was only 4th or 5th … many times over the years Poole was close to closing especially in the 80’s when they weren’t winning …. Very very fickle fans Of course it’s nice to win the league but every Ipswich fan would still go to watch Doyle and Emil even if we wasn’t at the top … Poole fans are different always have been

Glasgow and Belle Vue are miles ahead of any other track that’s for sure Most other teams make the best of what they have to provide entertainment and good racing …. I say most

They enjoy being a big fish in a little pond these days Roll on another season where Poole find 7 riders who can make gates for fun and win the league … give me Doyle Emil and Tom over Lawson and Kerr and Cook each week

?? Ipswich isn’t a good racetrack I don’t disagree Thing is we don’t doctor it to make it even worse than it already is … if you watched the final against Leicester there was lots of controversy and passing Poole fans can’t accept how bad it is to watch speedway at Poole As I said earlier enjoy the win but might be nice if once in a while the odd Poole fan spoke sense

Yes well done with a crap track that was a disgrace to the sport Most of your team didn’t turn up tonight and you got away with it Celebrate your win but stop talking Bollox

Poole fans been saying Cook or Kerr should go … those 2 are the reason for a superheat the other 5 have been a let down

Can’t see Howarth getting involved and Harris can’t keep passing everyone can he?

Poole will still nick this …. 2 gaters up against 2 racers … 4-2 Poole
