Should be ??? Should we be worried ? 

All I can say is the secret must be water tight, in most organisations there is usually a mole somewhere.

The whole of speedway is top secret, the less us plebs know the better as far as the bspl is concerned, speedway futures are like the SAS, working undercover,nobody knows what they are doing

The BSPL / Speedway futures have issued a new line of promotor inspired t shirts

The new lot seem well funded so hopefully will get one top line rider on board, I just hope they don't make the same mistake as the fella who took over Rye House and put a load of riders on huge guarantees and then went bust at the end of the season.

He never lasted to the end of the season, I believe the riders were not getting paid and the licence was suspended until finances were in place which never happened so they never re-opened. I don't think the riders have ever received there promised monies by the promotion.

I’ve said it on here before and now Louis directly references it in this latest interview.

Due Diligence, both Financial and Legal is a critical element of the sale process of any business and takes place after the parties have agreed the terms of the sale/purchase.

I will remain nervous until confirmation that contracts have been signed.

Despite the chuntering on here once Louis had decided to sell up he was up against it time wise to get this sorted - it’s to his and the buyers credit they have managed to get this in place inside 8 weeks (even less) - if hadn’t -  all hell would be breaking loose here!  Let’s hope all is in order and the sale goes through smoothly.

Invoking the SAS implies an elite service - not sure that holds for speedway futures maybe Trotters Independent Traders!!

I agree but there should have been more comms with fans, particularly giving reassurance on the continuance of the club. The alternative would have been to sell during the season so it's all sorted in good time for the following year.

Surely the Premiership can’t survive for another 2 years.

I wouldn't have thought so but I think it will most likely be driven by Poland only and the one other league rule if it comes in rather than the top league promoters actually doing some forward planning that in a sensible world should be happening now.

I think I’m right in saying that Kings Lynn missed a season do to a change of one promotion which obviously was not able to complete in time. So if Ipswich run they have done remarkably well to conclude the deal so quickly. Can anyone tell me what year Kings Lynn failed to ride please.

I think its most years that you don't notice whether they have turned up or not

1996.

Was because of the purchase of the stadium by Buster rather than a change of promotion.

I can't remember it but pretty sure Buster owned the stadium might have been the year after Waggy ran things for a season Bagpuss will probably know.

Doh would help if I read to the bottom of the thread he has answered already.

Tungate hasn't been announced for a Swedish Club yet, Possible option?

5.89 holds value imo.
