Depends if another club decides to spoil their press releases by naming Ipswich’ new signings first. Then they’ll have to get them out sharpish.

Go back to mocking the appearance of kids you absolute piece of shiit.

What has the distant past got to do with 2026? They were the current champions, Louis would have had them challenging again in 2026 absolutely no doubt about it just like he had in recent years. They had chronic luck when they were romping away at the top before losing both Doyle and then Emil. The year before they were 18 ahead going in to the second leg of the final against Sheffield when the heavens opened and it became a complete farce, a lottery which conspired against them. They would have been your biggest threat in 2026 if either Louis hung around, or Mayfield had taken over in time to build a team and everyone knows it.

My issue isn’t the competitiveness either. You’ll always get season’s where it’s uncompetitive and one team is a standout and dominates, I haven’t an issue with that. My issue is, and has always been, the integrity of a league where four teams compile their teams before Christmas, while two teams are not even confirmed as competing until February and then have to hastily assemble teams of misfits. You could actually add a third, even Sheffield didn’t confirm themselves as running until January! That is NOT a level playing field and the whole season was a mess as a result. In fairness, not all Belle Vue supporters are completely blinkered and biased. There were a couple on here who admitted the victory just didn’t feel right and they couldn’t get much satisfaction out of it (probably to the annoyance of their fellow posters) and that’s to their credit. Not once have I ever said anything was Belle Vue’s fault either, it obviously wasn’t. But let’s not pretend it was no different to any other season ffs.

Again, selective guff. Nobody has said next year will be any stronger or weaker, literally nobody. But it will be FAIRER. You seem to like dancing around the whole point but carry on.

Well, they’ve managed to shave off 8.56 in one fell swoop. problem solved.

Loftus is Leicester’s rising star, Harrison number 6. At least they were as of last week If the young Dane has signed, he’ll be in the 1-5. Good side still, but bit of a wagging tail.

You mean effectively four teams this year? The reigning Champions and your biggest threat were completely taken out of the equation as you full well know. Belle Vue will never have another season as easy as they had it this year. Congratulations on your monumental achievement though squire, lord knows how you achieved it.

So a young 17 year old boy has the temerity to leave the mighty Aces, and he already has a huge knife sticking out of his back with crude, disgusting, snide comments about his growth and his appearance. Aren’t they lovely people up Manchester way? Salt of the earth!!!!

If you have spare time, have a good read through the comments to their press releases on their Facebook page. I assure you it will give you a good chuckle and brighten your day. “Where is the fu****g loyalty” is a particular favourite aimed at a rider who has given them loyal service for almost a decade. In a way you can understand them spontaneously combusting because they’ve reclaimed their Foxhall hero after his vacation for a few months this year (to be fair we all enjoy a little Holiday), cherry picked their Golden Boy just because they can, and also taken away their biggest young talent and gotten a big chunk shaved off his average to boot to help them reinforce their top five. Oh, and just for the sh!!ts and giggles, taken the GP away from them too. LOL

That wasn’t the plan to release that this morning I can assure you. But after Belle Vue’s rather childish, salty press releases yesterday after firstly throwing Dan Bewley (one of their own apparently) under the proverbial tank, and then followed it up by being clever not to actually name Ipswich, but leaving people under no illusion that’s where they were going, they had little choice but to get it out there today. “Cairns has decided to follow Bewley” Yes, well played Belle Vue very proffessional.

The meltdown from those in Manchester is absolutely glorious. LOL

Vinnie Foord.

There’s 20 clubs in the Premiership football but we all knew the title this year would be one of two clubs, Manchester City or Arsenal. Thats now been whittled down to one after the Manc’s were confirmed as cheats.

I’m sorry but that can’t possibly be true. There’s no way the fella at Ipswich is paying big money for anyone because the fella is all fart and no shiit and you’ve all been brainwashed by his bluster. Or something like that.

Agree with the sentiment but at the end of the day they’re running a business. The Ford’s at Poole don’t agree with those sentiments, they’re ruthless and have no time for sentimentality in search for Trophies and keeping their club successful. That in turn keeps their turnstiles clicking and keeps their business profitable. If Belle Vue start getting tonked regularly and the crowd levels fall through the floor causing a huge monetary loss at the end of the season, who is footing the bill? Certainly not you or I. His business though and if he’s fully prepared to risk capital by staying loyal to riders then genuinely hats off to them. You can’t blame others for not doing the same though. Hopefully for him it will be. Will be far more lucrative for him for obvious reasons.

You have. Don’t tell Spiv and Spin King though otherwise they’ll get upset. What am i saying here, Doyle hasn’t been announced anywhere so it’s all speculation, of course he hasn’t signed!!

Full credit to you for continually embarrassing yourself and being proven wrong time and time again and yet keep coming back for more Spiv old boy. This has to be a record even for you, 11 hours this time before you’ve been handed your @rse even beats the two and a half days of your “Coleman can’t and won’t be organising a full GP Calendar” Corker. Please keep them coming and continue to keep us all amused.

I hope they invited Stewart Dickson for his input?

There’s a Belle Vue supporter on this forum and you know who you are, who is attempting to contact the Belle Vue management to look in to and contest, the average of Kim Nilsson. I wish I could say I was joking but alas. Pure desperation stuff. Comical.

In charge of what? Coleman is in charge of Ipswich and nothing else. He’s not trying to get around anything and people who have used the word “loophole” on here clearly have no idea what that actual word means. The regulations for assessing averages are there for all to see, its black and white., no grey. The only thing we don’t currently know, is whether those regulations have been altered for 2027.

Riss ended up at number 1 for Oxford in 2025 albeit in a team lacking any top end strength. He’s a fine rider. BUT, his health issues are a concern. He has them, comes back, relapses, rinse and repeat. Fair play to Ipswich for giving the fella another opportunity if his signing is confirmed. One thing he will get with Richard Coleman, is plenty of support and understanding. But they would be silly not to have some kind of back up protection in place if things don’t go well again. That’s just pure common sense.

Unfortunately though they do nothing to call him out and even encourage him with their likes and laughing emojis. I remember back in the day a similar type on here called “Alljack”, an Ipswich fan. The good people of Ipswich were embarrassed by his behaviour and chased him off the forum. Clearly different breeds of people.

I’m fully aware this is pure engagement farming, but not a single person has suggested the signing of Riss is purely to take advantage of illness and quirk in averages you insufferable fuc*ing bellend.
