I am sure that this is the case. Buster will feel he has failed to keep the top flight going and even he would likely be devasted when it happens ( in less than 12 months ). Forever the optimist wearing rose-tinted spectacles and feeling the "all is well": in UK speedway - that's Buster. With No Change being the mantra, how can things improve after just a minor reshuffle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If lynn have lambert and Niels iversen is the team together it will confirm my suspicions. They are both world class quality riders and if buster did want what’s best for Ipswich speedway he would have one at each track. To go up with a champion team without a proper number one will be a financial disaster Why should lynn fans suffer. Jorgensen or proctor may become available. As should Kerr without both iversen and lambert spearheading then Lynn will no way be title contenders. As a lynn fan iversen riding for you guys is as unthinkable as kemp riding for us once his ave allows 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A while ago when I said Ipswich would be shafted I was told it would not be in busters best interests to have a poor team at foxhall. Common sense says if you have two world class riders and two teams then you would have one each surely ???? As for drew. You would take him as quickly as you did with Richard knight mark loram and Tony rickardsson. Who would blame you either. We don’t want premiership racing. We don’t want buster as our owner. We just want our club back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever Chris 's income streams are, to me it's fairly evident that whilst Chris may draw up a list of riders he would like to ride for witches, it's obviously buster negotiating the terms which presumably is why we are still teamless atm. Seems Peterborough's got all the spare dosh for their team I'm not sure what the deals are for Ippo and the Panthers. Or who is paying for what, but Peterborough's team look strong and not done on the cheap, they got stuck in and got their riders signed up pretty fast. If I was a fan I would be worried with the lack of news coming from your club.. Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if Peterborough have a stronger team than Lynn.

foxxy Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Whilst I can fully understand the silence from Chris Louis (if he has little positive to report), I don't understand the silence from Mike Bacon/Ipswich Star. What's happened to investigative reporting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 I take it we will have a team with second strings and reserves,, something like King Lawson Kennett Allen Summers Heeps Oystercard/Doolan Not sure how far under the limit that is,, but not many riders around in the bargain basement catagory either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racin Jason 72 Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 I can’t see Lynn not signing him. A genuine world class rider who is loyal. Also on a low average which potentially could go up by two points. If he doesn’t ride for Lynn I would expect him to not ride in the U.K. at all.

Poole replaced on paper holder with Richie worall and sundstrom with Harris. Pre season if that was announced as a line up there would be an outcry.

But goes to prove It's not doom and gloom yet I’m not in charge unfortunately. If we can’t afford a decent team to start with then I doubt we will be able to strengthen later. Middle order riders are easy to find during the season but we need a out and out number one. There seems to be none out there willing to ride so to find one later is going to be impossible. Im happy with a solid team providing we have a effective number one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviresco Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Cam to be announced tomorrow then. Keep the faith boys and girls (and Arch Stanton) CL has a hat with kroliks in. There is no way that the real Witches owner would allow a sub standard team and, IMHO, the Witches should have new faces in for their renewed assault on the top division. Remember the unknown young Aussie who arrived here in 1972 and won his first two heats in British speedway after a few practice skids around the track on borrowed equipment. Gems are out there still. It may be the hope that kills you, but it is also what keeps us alive. Chatting with Drew on social media, I am more concerned that his future is NOT certain with the Witches, and he has turned down an invitation to a sponsors day at Heath Road hospital as he "doesn't know what he's doing". I fear we may never see him in a Witches racesuit again so hopefully Guy is wrapping up the likes of Jenkins on long term agreements as the future of British speedway riders is bright, again IMHO only.
