Ipswich Witches 2026

[SteveArena]

Without Doyle and the Russian, Ipswich will be pony this season.  Gavan and the Witches fans will have given up by the time Wimbledon starts.  The new bloke will be thinking this is a big mistake.  Oh well thats speedway!

Jenkins on a 4.5 I wouldn't touch,, and surely every team should include King as he's a given surely

Do you mean Emil sayfutinov?

just because you have unfortunately lost your team don’t allow your bitterness to bring my team down.

Not being bitter fella. Just stating my opinion. Ipswich will be poor next season no chance of retaining the title.

We will see who is right come October.

Cant agree there, the new owner will not think it is a mistake. It will be a competitive team most of which is probably already sorted.

I dont know how you can say that when you do not know who is in the team and bear in mind the reduction in points so every team is weaker than last season.

With only 5 teams, you'll likely find out a lot earlier than October!!!😆

PS. What about Rich Lawson for the Witches?

A couple of riders must be nailed on already I would imagine, could be a solid team like Leicester.

Plenty of good riders left due to the Points Limit.

Just can’t see a world where Lawson isn’t riding in the Premiership so it’s surely either Ipswich, or mystery team number 6.

Lawson would be a quality signing in a watered down PREM.

Consistently had GSA's ranging from 6.50-7.00 in the British Top Flight whether it's the old Elite League Days or the modern era PREM.

Majority of the PREM in 2026 is basically CHAMP Heat Leader standard with a few Aussie GP Riders thrown in and we all know that Lawson and Masters are the two best riders in the CHAMP.
