dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 It looks to me that there isn't any week teams next year, Glasgow and Sheffield look a lot stronger than they did last yearthere will be 1 or 2 can always rely on Rye for a start!

Got plenty of talent best wishes to him @SpeedwayGB @ipswichspeedway @MildenhallFT Wasn't expecting that and it's a shame. He's actually been around a few years now and never really progressed so probably found it difficult to make ends meet I'd imagine.

Icicle Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Sad about Jo Jacobs retiring, true he really needed good equipment to push on & last year didn't progress that much, but still very good potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is set in stone though he's young and could easily have a change of heart in the near future. I'd bet we haven't seen the last of him on a speedway bike.

2ndbendbeerhut Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Ellis was on loan to Ipswich. Covatti is on loan to Ipswich. So not really Ipswich's fault? If Ellis was an Ipswich asset think would be different.... Needs to be a fast track of sorts in the PL so the likes of Ellis and Jacobs get rides. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It leaves some of the top NL boys/potential PL reserves somewhat vulnerable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Shame about Joe, maybe he will have a change of heart when the time is right, which probably won't be that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LagutaRacingFan Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Ipswich side looks poor, no match for the Panthers. We have Robert Lambert, Lewis Blackbird and Adam Roynon. 3 Future Team GB Riders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. With the greatest of respect to Joe, if I had the choice of Jacobs or Nielsen to fill the last reserve berth I'd have gone for Nielsen from the off so personally I'm happy with the end result. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree Stefan would have been my pick too. This would also explain why the last two riders took a little longer than expected to reveal as the full 1-7 was expected to be announced a couple of weeks back. On the face of it, we've come out of it pretty well. Certainly no worse, and possibly slightly better IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 I would have chosen Stefan too, but obviously Louis wouldn't have given Joe was his first choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
