I saw that he was there on Thursday, Abi posted a photo with him, and a few others in the pits before the meeting started, then Bewley posted a Instagram story during the meeting sitting at the back of the stand and tagged Foxhall stadium. He has always been complimentary of Ipswich and liked Chris a lot. He also spoke in an interview of how he always knows Ipswich has big crowds and likes the fans, topped with how nice he is as a  guy I think everyone would welcome him!  Emil’s work Visa runs out now as it’s been three years, they can renew it for about few thousand pounds obviously if they wanted. Emil hasn’t got SGP again so would be available but for me the most telling sign was that he posted about how he is happy because Chris Louis is smiling and that he could be the one to make him happy, chapter closed?

Lastly, Dan does go down to ride Jake Nicholls MotoX track at Guys house often, my mates are into MotoX and have seen him there quite often, he rode MotoX on Thursday so wouldn’t be surprised if he did that with Jake and then said he would come watch the match.

I’m not sure the work visa would be the issue as far as Emil is concerned.

I think it’s more to do with if Emil wants to do it again and/or Torun position on it.

Torun would deffo not have a say on whether he rides or not, any rider can choose any league they want, it’s purely down to Emil and how it’s a lot easier to get to Scandinavia from Poland than it is to fly to UK or if he can get another visa.

Hopefully, if Dan Bewley does ride for Ipswich next year, he'll have learned to spell it correctly.😃

It's interesting that those who run Speedway as a "stand alone" business seem to do quite well each season...

Generally much better than those who run it as an expensive hobby, or get it subsidised by stock cars...

Maybe when it is your day to day income stream it focuses the mind more? 

A few more like Chris Louis and the sport would be in much better shape...

This isn’t going to sit well with the Belle Vue 😂

Why would Belle Vue care that Dan has gone to watch a meeting.  Dan won't be going anywhere but Belle Vue next season

Not so sure on that tbh, A lot of compliments for a track that he's rarely done well on imo.

Seems to me like Dan is basically letting the management know that he's keen on riding for Ipswich.

If the team building rules stay the same and if it's 2 leagues in 2026 then Doyle is on a average under 8.00 so Ipswich will have room for a rider on Bewley's average if Emil does depart.

That's a lot of if's though.

I was thinking more that the quotes of the best speedway podium ever & best meeting he has seen for ages.

The podium was British Speedways, it would have been at any track for the final.  Also he said one of the better meetings hes watched, not the best meeting for ages.  Regardless it isn't a crime to say you enjoyed watching a meeting, especially when you ride for a team who's track is regarded  by most as the best in the world.  As I said why would Belle Vue care that Dan enjoyed the meeting, im a Belle Vue fan and I enjoyed the meeting🤣

I wouldn’t be so sure. Riders careers are short and financial gain kicks in more as riders mature. We all know The Aces have no chance of outbidding the witches if push came to shove and tapping up riders before the season has even gone cold is a well known trait of theirs. The patchwork nature of their teams, culled from the declarations over the years could easily see them poaching another Brit currently sitting second in his teams averages. 

Dan’s due a testimonial next season with us (should have been this season but for his ban in ‘22) so you’d hope he’d remained an Ace for that reason but money talks. 

 

Maybe if The Aces ever get a chance of clinching the play off cup in front of a home crowd, then we could finally present a podium to be proud of though I have to thank Sheffield & Leicester for giving us a fine podium to celebrate our achievements recently.
