Big disappointment from Tungate here. A solid display from him could have actually seen Oxford win this one.

Behave ffs you’ve been on here long enough to know that both Ipswich supporters and supporters of other clubs in general would have given Ritchie Hawkins both barrels if Emil had come a cropper a la Doyley and you damn well know it. Stop fishing for engagement.

This is absolutely bonkers. Doyle would also have made it back in time for his UK meeting if he wasn’t told to get off the plane he was sitting on!! Lidsey’s plane took off, Doyle’s didn’t. They both fly back to different airports also. As for “Doyle’s fault for running a schedule that leaves no margin for such eventualities” have a day off ffs. He has his schedule and his timetable set up that perfectly suits him to get everywhere he needs to be bang on time. You don’t inconvenience yourself by planning to land in Manchester and then spend hours travelling down the motorway to his base in Norfolk on the remote 0.0001% chance there’s a technical issue with your scheduled flight and told to get off the plane!! The facts here, are that the SCB investigated both Doyle and Tungate, and were happy with their findings on one rider, and less so on the other and issued a ban. That’s the top and bottom of it.

Fair enough SS, but I think you’ll be in a minority here. The Ipswich fans haven’t seen their side lift the big one since the all conquering side of 1998. They’ve been starved of success for far too long. I think most fans would prefer to wait for the best possible rider that gives them the best chance of winning the title, than going for an inferior rider now. If that means waiting until just before the cut off for signings so be it. I know going with guests is frustrating, but personally patience is the order of the day here for me.

Rider Replacement and Blödorn for Doyle and King? How on earth are they still 4 points clear at the top of the table? It must catch up with them sooner or later surely! If Emil was on it like last year it would have been the most one sided league since their all star team of 98.

You’re correct and let’s not forget he was only a teen back then. Much more seasoned and classy rider these days and still unbelievably only 29 years of age. Foxhall would hold no fears for him that’s for sure.

You would have done if he was missing obviously let’s not pretend otherwise . Wasn’t it you who lauded the signing of Zagar on here with “drink those tears” after your club made a change after changes were permitted? You weren’t interested in any debate on whether your club had Broken/Bent/Grey area of the rules, all you were interested in was rubbing it in people’s faces on here that your team had strengthened. Yeah, I wouldn’t be taking the moral high ground on this if I were you.

And here we go again. Pathetically ran Speedway club, a complete embarrassment.

No need for “tinted glasses “ at Ipswich. They actually make an effort to get meetings on. They uploaded photos from mid afternoon last year of the track literally under water, but worked their boll0cks off to get the meeting on by 7.30. Same last week, heavy showers on and off all day, if that had been Norfolk you could guarantee it would have been called, but not at Ipswich. The like of Bagpuss who seems to defend his club to the death need to call out his club for once. They’re currently a pathetically ran Speedway club who need a dry week and completely dry forecast on race day to let a meeting go ahead, seemingly because they can’t be @rsed doing any track work if any rain falls. Stop trying to defend the indefensible. If it’s not the weather it’s telling lies about broken pit gate locks because half your team is away on Danish duty. Pathetic club, Lynn fans should be embarrassed. There has been an identical forecast in Ipswich as Norfolk for today. Early morning torrential rain flooded the roads, forecast is off and on showers for the rest of the day. Have Ipswich called it off? No. It may well get postponed if and when more rain falls, but you can guarantee that when it gets called there was zero chance of it going ahead. But that won’t prove Lynn correct and Ipswich wrong. Ipswich are simply prepared to do all it takes and work hard to get a meeting on, Lynn clearly can’t be bothered!!!

But he was powerless to stop the horse from bolting. They just ain’t having Speedway at the Showground and he was told that. He knew he was pi$$ing in the wind and wasn’t prepared to chase unicorns. The consortium have now found that out for themselves. The slanderous accusations on here over the past 6 months from the likes of TTT and the sheep that followed, accusing Chapman of taking “brown envelopes” to ensure the closing of Peterborough speedway have been absolutely staggering.

I don’t think Col likes Ipswich very much. He labelled the Ipswich team “the worst top flight team ever put together” and had them stone last by some distance in 2019 before they knocked Poole out in the semis and finished runners up to Swindon.

Why are some of you Peterborough fans still blaming Chapman? Hasn’t he given Mick Bratley and the consortium his blessing to try and negotiate themselves? How are they all getting on with that? Would you like to update everyone Mick on how much of a better fist you’re making of things than Chapman did?

Not really impossible to those that don’t just attend home meetings, but follow their team on the road and use their own eyes. It’s very easy to see what clubs are well supported and which ones aren’t.

“Actually I’d have liked Ipswich to sign Emil” LOL. You’re fooling nobody. It won’t “bite me” in any way shape or form. The facts are very very simple, YOU have absolutely no clue whatsoever that this deal has “no chance of happening”. You simply know it’s a very difficult deal to do for obvious reasons as does everybody else and Chris Louis himself. If Chris Louis knew it was impossible as you say it is, do you honestly think we’d be in to February with him still chasing it?? You’re a fan, a supporter of your team. No more, no less. You 100% have no greater idea than Chris Louis does on the chances of signing Emil Sayfutdinov. You just don’t so stop all the pompous bullshi!t. Louis will be in no doubt that the chances are he’ll have to give up eventually and move on to someone else but if and when that happens don’t sit there all smug with the “I told you so’s” because you haven’t one iota what is going on behind closed doors. If Louis is still chasing his signature that is because he’s been given encouragement to do so. If it fails, so be it

And TINYCOCK from six finger land weighs in with his tuppence worth! You’ve been doing this since last October. I bet you sit there in your mother’s basement with your fingers in your ears going “nope, it’s rumours, all rumours, 100% no chance they’re going for Emil Sayfutdinov”

Oh look another prat who thinks he knows better than the actual promoter working on the deal!!

Exactly. Louis will know every single detail that needed/needs to be sorted, and the hurdles he’ll need to overcome. He’ll have been given the chances of success by people working on the deal for him and how long it could possibly take. If he’s decided that the chances are enough for him to keep persevering with it then that’s entirely his prerogative and it certainly won’t prove the keyboard experts on here correct if the chase ultimately fails! He’s seemingly now put a deadline on this and will then move on with a back up. Again, that’s entirely his prerogative!

You have absolutely no idea on the ins and out of this situation. You’re not working on the deal are you? Got to love this forum with all these keyboard experts.

Just a horrible little knobhead.

So is Ritchie Worrall and has been for ages. Only question remaining is Holder or someone else.

Totally agree. You can shove your facebooks where the sun don’t shine, not interested so I’m more than happy for people to post their photos etc on here.

I can understand them, sure, but I don’t like or prefer them.

Let’s be honest you wouldn’t be upset with either! I’d probably go Dudek just. Always been a fan of his style and has the best looking kit in the business. Not that it matters with these new daft boring team suits!

Falcon and Gavin have had a shocker here.

Would a Polish rider who doesn’t ride in this country, fly in and reveal his excitement at signing a sponsorship deal? Would you even need to fly in to do a sponsorship deal? I don’t follow him or any other rider on instagram or do instagram at all in fact, so maybe this kind of thing is common?
