The fans that Mr Louis neglected to thank while just about name checking everybody else in his self absorbed statement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Machine has summed it up perfectly. I was just trying to remain positive to be honest with you. Now I simply don't care, It's done so no point dwelling on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noaksey Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago The thing is its a sports club not just a business, there are thousands of fans in Ipswich so he owes them some sort of explanation at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badge Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Just to think 3 weeks ago we were all heartbroken because Emil wasn't coming back 💔 Have to say I'm absolutely devastated about this news, can't process it tbh. So if we can't sell and Sheffield can't sell what is the future for "top" speedway in 2026? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluPanther Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago You can't run a premiership with just 4 teams (possibly 5), and with the great majority not interested in forming one league, Chris has had enough of banging his head against the wall with the short sighted SCB and BSPA. Guy Nicholls might save it, but that's just a maybe at this stage. One league could have possibly saved British Speedway, the time was right, but predictably that chance has been squandered... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Rob Godfrey's "2 leagues" next year, "1 league" as it was 3 leagues this year... next year a top league and a development league?

ArthurRudge Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Speedway is dying and has been for a long time, the only way this can work is to have one league. Could form a European league that could be interesting lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a silly statement... he still owns the club, so is in a position to make guarantees, and it'd be a hell of a lot easier selling a functioning club rather than a defunct one, ask Mick Horton!

It’s up for sale NOW …..and will be till its SOLD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
