Aries

They’ve been meeting regularly. Several meetings have already taken place.

Track again very different to Monday. Very slick and easy to ride. Can only assume they held off the watering incase the expected rain came earlier which is fair enough. Was still the odd decent race here and there.

Not everyone is the same though are they? Brennan held on, so did King. Plenty of others didn’t including Ellis and Doyle. And I don’t blame them or anyone else for not gambling on the takeover being completed. Riders have to put themselves first as they should. “They could have built a stronger team” well not really! Coleman has already explained this. Conversations WERE held with Doyle but they couldn’t offer him the guarantees he wanted and he gave up. Conversations were held with numerous GP riders, they all had their season planned. You have to cut them some slack they were severely up against it this year. If similar happens next season then criticism will be fair game. I’m confident that won’t be the case but actions speak louder than words. It took Louis how many years before landing a title? He even took us down a league for donkeys years and we couldn’t even win a raffle down there!

The team was cobbled together a few weeks before the season started including a near 50 year old. It was never going to be in contention to be fair. Let’s see what next season brings when we get a fair crack of the whip.

I was actually rooting for the Belle Vue boys in 15! Zero point being in the play offs we’d get obliterated by Belle Vue over two legs. At least Lynn ride the NSS fairly well and would make it interesting

Agree on all points there. An eight team league twice home and away giving us 14 home league meetings plus KOC and potentially play offs is ideal and much better from a supporter point of view. Agree on the fixture planning also, work a bit harder to arrange them so a visiting team doesn’t return too quickly. We could potentially have something much better to look forward to next year, especially if one or two clubs manage to bring over new top riders to add to the ones we already have. *cough* Woryna *cough* for instance 😁

Well Musielak has thrown his hat in to the 2027 ring. “ I have always loved the Ipswich track and the shape of it. I really enjoy racing at Foxhall. The fans are always kind and I feel their support” ” I don’t know about next year. I am always open to a conversation and would really love to see myself back at Foxhall” From today’s Star. Bless him, been superb this season. Someone else that would rather be at Ipswich than your club @Dornier 😛

It’s a fair point and I guess we’ll know after the meeting if it’s the right call or not. Even two or three points from the reserves is better than Nicholls giving it a go and not scoring a point. “I’ve tested the shoulder on a mountain bike” doesn’t exactly fill me with much confidence tbh 🥴 Its only been five weeks since he broke his shoulder and at his age the old bones and recovery normally take longer to heal. I could be doing him a disservice and he could weigh in with a solid eight or nine points and my concerns would have been for nothing who knows. We’ll soon find out I guess.

Lynn’s hopes rest with Belle Vue, and I think their chances just increased with all due respect to Nicholls. Gamble.

That’s what he said last night ffs 🙄 His words.

Just watched this back, good to see Lawson looking happy in the pits and seemingly getting on very well with general manager Andrew Chisholm. IF there was any issue there, certainly looks like it’s been resolved. Was on the parade truck also.

I’d be VERY surprised if Bewley ended up at Ipswich next year. Things could change of course, but as it stands that one is highly unlikely.

Have to be a bit careful and respectful as I was in a very privileged position a few weeks back thanks to someone on here so all I’ll say is Doyle is “desperate to come back next year”, but the angle I took was that he’s plan B if others moves don’t come to fruition. He’s not the type to sit around waiting for a place as we know. There’s no shortage of ambition I can tell you that, so we’ll have to wait and see what is delivered.

Have a hunch (that’s all it is) that Doyle will be there also.
