Ipswich Witches 2026


Recommended Posts

If Ipswich do ride in one league next year what team is it? No Doyle and Emil obviously, no Dan T, Tom B as they now ride in Poland so won’t make the Fri/Sat or sun fixtures, I’m sure I’ve seen Adam E say he isn’t riding UK next year. So much uncertainty, Chris L probably saw this all coming and decided he can’t work with this pathetic running of a sport and still no official announcement and once is it announced he will be left with the scraps.

Will the Doyle news knock any interest in the club out of the field?

No number 1 for the Witches now 

Another reason not to attend at Ipswich next season.

Pathetic running of a sport that he is a director of….

Any top rider opting out of the UK isn't good, but Jason Doyle doing so speaks volumes. This is one rider who'd go to the opening of an envelope if he could race speedway, if he doesn't think the UK is worthwhile then it makes you wonder.

Agreed. If all but one of the GP stars were to quit the UK next season, I would expect Doyle to be the one to stand by the UK (as he has done with the exception of the Covid season). So if he's off, I would expect the others to follow suit. Not that this would bother me as I believe no competitor should be bigger than their sport. Unfortunately in UK speedway that isn't the case.

You ever known someone who excels at their own job but the people around them are useless… I think everyone has and this is case and point, if a select few idiots are next to him and you have to have a majority vote it doesn’t really matter what your title is. He ran the best performing speedway club in the country so he knows a thing or to about success.

Can't blame any rider for not hanging around waiting, it was inevitable really that they would start to look elsewhere rather than wait until January for any guarantee. 

Hopefully not the last we've seen of Doyle over here, but if it is then thanks for the 20 years or so he's given to the sport in this country.
