Riss can't come in until W/C 19/6? Barker came into the team effective 19/5 according to bspa website

Kings back after best number 3 in league comment

Does this mean hes staying and replacing Hume or Rew? Or maybe a double change?? Not including RS swap

Because you saw Phil post on their thread? Rowe for the witches

Matej Zagar?? Would be a good number 3 and then Barker wouldn't have so much pressure from a weekend middle string?

Craig Cook said he'd be running a loss riding in both leagues?

Hawkins managed to hide king away from responsibility last year when we only had Doyle by putting a 5pt man Batch at 5 nearly all year. This year we get Emil great back up for Doyley so pressure is off and he’s still not helping the team. Rew young lad can’t expect much first year round the UK tracks. Changes need to happen otherwise we have 2 of the best 4/5 riders in the league and won’t even make playoffs. Thompson done his job tonight and looked a little better Thursday night. Hume is idioted from riding 7 rides every meeting. Riss even when he comes back he’ll need meetings to get back race sharp. Something needs to change before another year of disappointment

Kings time is up drop him now while his average is high. Riss as much as I like him he’s got to go as well as we can’t run R/R or barker 2 points below his average. Them 2 would give us 13 points? GP rider maybe Lindgren? Could then could get Barker in as well as a proper number 2 to swap with Danyon at reserve Thompson the poor lad been chucked in the deep end! Him turning up getting 0,0,0 isn’t going to improve him as a rider. Need to try something else

The problem isn't the points scoring. I'm not his biggest fan but he usually gets 8+ at home every week. It's the fact we have 2 young lads learning the british tracks and Danyon who's still a bit inexperienced in the top league and when he's riding with them he's not looking for them or sitting in behind. The amount of times he goes to the dirt cuts off our rider and then gets passed himself a couple of laps later is what's frustrating people. When Emil done it in heat 15 with him he cries like a baby

King's happy with R/R at 2 because he picks up an easy 3 points in heat 8 every week at home. As the 3rd heat leader you've got to be 10-12 every week with the way the side is built this season and although he done that yesterday getting beaten in heat 15 by sitting mid track letting one go round him and one go under him was criminal. And he wants to be pushing Doyley and Emil He's ridden Foxhall for years shouldn't need Emil to hold his hand the whole way round!! His best bud Hawkins should take the captaincy off him for not coming out on the victory lap, Young Joe probably isn't happy scoring 1/2 every week but he was on the victory lap parade waving to the next generation of fans

Where did you see this?

Feel for Jack was looking forward to seeing him at Foxhall Connor Bailey??? Touted as the next best thing a couple of seasons ago? ides with King Riss and Hume in Championship. No doubt Kemp's ability but his mentality clearly isn't right being dropped from his last 2 clubs in the Premiership

Depends what riders need changing....if King has another poor start he won't get dropped but if Hume manages to put some points on his average he'll be dropped for a better rider

Doubt it, by all accounts we promised Hume as well so doubt we promised both of them a team place

Of course you get people who won't but Foxhall will be good crowds majority of the time if the racing's good! Of course we all want to win but watching Doyle and Emil would be worth the match fee alone. Nobody's paying the entrance fee to watch Danny King ride on a non existent racing line or Richie Worrall fitting it out at the back

When you're paying £22 for 15/16 minutes of racing you want to see Emil racing not Worrall and Hans!

Wasn't there some rumblings that people wasn't getting paid in Sweden? I'm hoping some announcements next week as they're dragging this out

Surely the last 2 to be announced this week???

Could be they're dragging it out so it looks like they've actually tried to find a rider or 2 abroad

Miskowiak and another would be much better than Worrall and Batch. Even if they turn out to be a flop at least they've tried instead of going easy option

Think he's trying to say because he's too good to be a RS but he's still eligible through age they've given his average a 25% reduction to help him gain a team place

Well that's not a title winning team

Yes worrall would be fine if we didn't have King and Riss but if we're going for 4 middle average riders then we're going to be falling short again

True but Ipswich do usually get good crowds and if you had Doyle + another top rider I'm sure a few more would be turning up most weeks. We started so well with Doyle and promising prospect in Rew but what do we expect. Worrall been at Ippo before and he didn't do great in a poor championship league

I would've hoped for maybe Barker and then a 7+ point rider. Barker looked good before his ban and having him at 2 and swapping with Rew throughout the season would make us stronger
