TTT

I remember you saying to me that Tomalin genuinely thinks it's a good side, Being 2.30 under the limit was a very tough sell for anyone to buy into imo. However considering some of the claims that Tomalin has made in recent weeks like 'Young Sensational racers' as well as referring to NKI as World Class and branding Jenkins the best rising star in the league it now makes the unthinkable 2.30 under the limit side actually believable because all of those claims are way off the mark. Who's Tomalin referring to with the 'Young Sensational Racers' claim when Ben Cook and Jordan Jenkins don't even have a years worth of Premiership experience combined, We've got 1 in Ben Basso but Tomalin said Racers and not Racer. World Class is a description you would use for riders like Janowski, Zmarzlik etc. Everyone knows that Leon Flint is the best RS in the league as well (His Championship average is head and shoulders above the rest)

Michael Tomalin has referred to NKI as World Class as well as calling Jenkins the best rising star in the league this winter so going 2.30 under the limit wouldn't even be a shock to me now after those statements tbh considering they're way off the mark. Have to ask ourselves a question here and that's why has Tomalin even opened talks with Richie Worrall if he doesn't want him? Surely if you don't want a rider then you wouldn't even bother opening talks with them? Too me this screams desperation on the clubs behalf and it's relying on a big hitter making themselves available at the eleventh hour, If that doesn't happen then it's going to be Gasser90's team by default imo because we've not been linked with anyone else other than Tungate and he's 100% out apparently due to nobody willing to spanner for him. Nothing gets kept a secret in this day and age because everybody talks so it's unlikely that we've got a surprise name lined up that nobody knows about. We're up against it here imo, Everything is clear now and it's a race against time. The club's hope -> No.1 + Holder & Andersen The club's next best hope -> HL/Tungate + Holder & Andersen The club's default solution if the above doesn't happen -> Holder, Worrall & Andersen

I don't think it's for us that's for sure. I think we're going 2.30 under the limit if Tomalin buys the club because Michael clearly wants Holder in the side, @Gasser90 has stuck with the same 1-7 all winter and it just looks a formality at this point imo. Is Anders Rowe on the RS list? If yes then someone has probably dropped out at another Prem club and they've signed Anders as the replacement.

Anders Rowe is riding in the UK this season and his Championship average is too high to fill any of the remaining team places left in the Championship.

It's tough to get a team place when you've burnt bridges with most clubs.

Agree.

Dudek because Emil wouldn't have raced competitively for almost 2 years. Both could be a bit hit or miss over here though imo considering they both lack experience on British tracks.

Tomalin wouldn't buy into a business that doesn't have a future imo. Tomalin is wise enough to have a contract signed that guarantees Peterborough's future from 2024 onwards before sealing any deal to buy the club off Buster.

It's clearly fake but just to continue the conversation, Dudek certainly won't be signing for a British club at his prices even though he wanted to ride over here. Nobody can afford to pay that kind of money and the Polish boys don't budge on their asking price because they don't need British Speedway money considering they sign Polish deals worth over half a million GBP.

Not us that's for sure. We've been heavily linked with the following 5 riders Nicki P, C. Holder, Tungate, R. Worrall & Andersen. So the final three are bound to be out of those five, One of them is a no go apparently, Maybe even two of them.

At least another month considering Ipswich have gone all out for the last 2 months and a deal is now the closest it's ever been with the FIM on the verge of a full U-Turn. The FIM would be sticking by their original ruling if they still believed in it, The fact that they're now considering offering Russian's neutral licenses basically says the FIM no longer believes in their original ruling. Ipswich have worked tirelessly to get this deal over the line so it makes no sense to back out when they're eventually making big progress.

Why would Ipswich back out of a deal for Emil when a deal is closer than it's ever been all winter?

No chance at 6k a night when you've got to splash out big money on Doyle's 15 point maximums almost every week. Also Ipswich are making rapid progress with Emil. Polish press are now reporting that the FIM are considering to give Russian's neutral licenses that allow them to compete all over Europe. Considering means they're on the verge of backing down and eventually they will do a full U-Turn before the season starts.

We'd know what's left, Too many points to a point where we cant use them all lol.

Don't think we'll get a read off the next two announcements tbh considering it's going to be Hans & Richie.

100%

Agree, nothing makes sense tbh. We'll only find that answer out when the 1-7 is revealed (Chris Holder situation)

3.38 if it's only -25% (2022 RS scheme) 3.30 if he gets a further 2.5% off (Brit reduction)

I really hope so, Andersen needs carrying at 2. Nicki P or a GP rider are the only ones who'd be able to carry him imo.

Not at 6k a night. 156k outlay and that's just on the league fixtures and KO Cup SF tie, If the club makes the KO Cup Final and the Play-Off Grand Final then a deal rises to 192k, If the club chooses to use him in each round of the Pairs then it's 210k Too steep for a British club.

Yes he'll be in if Tomalin has full control. Won't have to work with Buster at all then.

I thought they found one in the end?

Must be signing a sponsorship deal for the GP's imo.

Surely Tungate has to be in then.

In at 6:00am, 12:00pm and 6:00pm Out at 9:00am, 3:00pm and 9:00pm
