Think Anders Rowe would have something to say about that. 4.46 this season, was averaging well over 6 before injury struck, and rode a good chunk of the season in the main body of the side than at reserve unlike Brennan. Now Rowe is selected as the rising star that he was eligible for this year. No slight on young Brennan whatsoever, he looks a talented boy, but best RS in the league and by “a country mile”? Not a chance.

Thank you

What was his average for the meetings he did at Poole out of interest?

What’s with the love in with Basso? You watched him more than I, that I will Concede, but from afar it seemed he was as likely to stuff his bike in the fence as win a race? Again without watching him and just looking at his scores, he had a few really good meetings, and quite a few absolutely sh!te ones. Am I wrong?

Don’t be daft. Those going would not have been expecting to hear the full team, the press release quite clearly stated A signing would be announced, and it was, Drew Kemp. What the hell is wrong with some of you? Why are you all stamping your feet and demanding to know who signed riders are? The season starts in March for Christ sake. I bet you’re the sort that can’t wait for December 25th and make a crafty rip in your presents to see what you’ve got

Impossible to know that. What we do know, is that Rowe is currently the better rider and the better choice.

You categorically stated what the Ipswich team was, and then labelled Louis as pathetic for not satisfying you by naming said team and instead “drip feeding” it. He’s literally done a deal for a rider in the last 48 hours so that proves you were talking absolute b0llocks. The team clearly wasn’t sorted when you claimed it was.

Why are you getting all Flappy? You arrogantly told everyone what the Witches team was weeks ago, and then even more arrogantly lambasted Chris Louis for being pathetic and “drip feeding” the news rather than just revealing your team. Turns out you’re full of sh!t.

Can’t imagine anybody disliking Donk to be honest. Great rider and even greater fella.

Can watch this type of racing all day. Since moving to Bury St Edmunds a few years ago, I go to Ipswich 3 or 4 times a season to take in a meeting. Heeps always seems to be box office whenever I’ve been.

I really wouldn’t waste your time you’re pi$$ing in the wind.

Why do you and I assume your old man? Keep coming out with the “it’s not my decision nor yours” crap? We’re not bloody stupid we know it’s not our decision! But we’re allowed to to give our opinions on an absurd criteria that is blatantly bent around a Particular rider which smacks in the face of an originally excellent idea put forward. You know it’s a load of sh!te, so does the other “Spin” King so don’t hide behind the “it’s not our decision” nonsense whilst secretly smirking to yourselves that you got one up on the competition. Pathetic. I hope you win jack sh!t.

You sure you’re not a Poole fan? It stinks and you damn well know it

Kemp is in a position of strength, he’s one of the plum picks for the number 7 “rising star” role and he’ll know that full well. Maybe he’s changed his demands because of that? Not saying he has, but it’s entirely possible.

Definitely, IMO.

More than Drew Kemp?

I’m guessing Foxhall is the only stadium you’ve been to. It must be, because if you think Foxhall is a “dump”, then you simply haven’t been to 99.9% of Speedway stadia up and down the country!

Staggering to see some sticking to their guns on this. Some nailed their colours to the mast early doors on this virus with their “glorified flu” nonsense and clearly don’t like to admit they were wrong on the internet. It’s ok to hold your hands up and say you misjudged just how bad this horrible virus was/is!

Only got to page 23. What a bunch of pr!cks you lot are. Didn’t even get to Ray Stadia’s cracking contribution. No hindsight involved either, we were all warned this was coming, but of course it was all “hysteria” and “overblown nonsense”. Should be embarrassed the lot of you.

The likes of Ray Stadia, BluPanther and particularly Bwitcher should be utterly ashamed of themselves for the crock of sh!te they’ve all posted in this thread. Cockwombles the lot of you.

Totally agree I don’t get this type of team at all. Totally uninspiring filled with riders who are way past their best and falling. I’d much prefer to have a young up and coming rider in my team like Anders Rowe or Drew Kemp. Peterborough’s reserves will average more than both of those and for some that’s all that matters, but I’d personally prefer a young local lad making his way up the ladder than one who is looking to top up his pension fund for one more year.

Seth schools at Gold Coast Australia. He’s not going to school and be based in the UK alone at his age the last few years whilst his entire family remain based in Australia.

It does make a difference and yes some are saying exactly that. Some are trying to cheapen the signing by saying he actually won’t be giving 100% and the only reason he’s back is to earn a little money to keep him and his son over here for the year to pursue his son’s racing career. You’ve got the like of Crescent Girl above who is telling us all exactly what’s in Jason Crumps mind and giving us the real reason he’s here, despite the man himself saying it’s a racing decision.

MIKE: Are you bringing the family over this summer? JASON: My son Seth has one more year to do at school and my wife Melody will hopefully come over five or six times during the season. https://www.eadt.co.uk/sport/q-a-with-new-ipswich-witch-jason-crump-1-6523564

Ok.
