That’s the spirit.

Well, new to Foxhall. Whether it’s actually “brand new” I’ve no idea. It’s been loaned from Poland. The one they had been using didn’t fit the qualifying criteria.

Should be fun at least 😁

Well that’s 100% Danny’s lugs at 4 and Lawson’s dodgy mullet at 5 😂

Good job they’ve got that new air fence at Foxhall! Gonna be properly tested.. 😁

He would have ridden here no doubt about it. There’s a few others that probably would as well if there wasn’t so much uncertainty and waiting around. Becker, Ellis, Rew a few that spring to mind.

Klindt and Iversen two more. But it would be an awful team we all know it. Hiding to nothing.

Don’t think that’s now going to happen for that very reason. The 360 podcast said a few weeks back that Lawson was one earmarked for Northampton, but we now know he’s ended up at Ipswich instead. Thats an indication that Northampton isn’t happening. Could be wrong on that obviously.

Is there any other worthwhile options other than Jeppesen on around the 4.5 mark? None seem to jump out and he seems the best option by a mile.

I did wonder if this type of thing would continue so good on the supporters club for carrying it on. The other, was the professional photo shoot that Chris always carried out at Ipswich Sports club on the morning of press and practice. Wonder if that will continue also.

Didn’t “have the pick of the rider market” due to how late this deal happened, so basically tempering expectations for this year, but they’ve already “got an eye on where the club will go beyond this year”. My personal take on it, was it sounded like we’ve already suggested. Stick with us this year, real business starts next year. Also discusses UK speedway in general and the state it’s in. A lot of it was just repeating what was in the press release.

And that’s exactly what we’re going to have to do also. Just hope enough people stick with it in the short term to give the new owners the financial support they’ll need to invest in something stronger next winter when more options will be on the table. A season of making a heavy loss isn’t likely to encourage them to splash the cash next year..

Not really. He agreed to do that quite a while ago. Any collapse in negotiations to ride over here wouldn’t affect his commitment to ride for Klindt in his testimonial. Be interesting to see how he gets on though.

Why would it? No offence intended and you’re not the first person to allude to this, but we’re talking completely different companies with completely different personnel.

Interesting reading that old Reading press release. Reading the “Eleventh” club to come to tapes in the old Elite League. Now down to Five. How sad and demoralising.

Almost irreplaceable I’d say. We know that from when someone else has tried valiantly to fill his shoes when he’s been missing for the odd meeting here and there. Henry too is an excellent press officer.

New presenter, and new press officer too. BOTH current incumbents will be sorely missed.

Nope I’m sorry but we’ll agree to disagree here. I think it’s unusual. As an outgoing owner, and club legend, just a few words thanking a few people and introducing the new owners, get behind them etc. That may well still come at some point but then again, maybe he’s that pi$$ed off that he’s not interested in even doing that now he’s washed his hands of it all! I was expecting something from him in the press release, that’s all I’m saying.

Seems they’re gonna be selling season tickets too. Wonder if we’ll manage to top Sheffield’s buy 10 get none free? 😁

Interesting there’s no quotes from Louis in either of those statements.
