They're possibly waiting to see who goes to Ipswich or Northampton in the event that a particular rider has a preference. It does make your latest posts relevant though, it's far worse than the village fete committee I accused them of being previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayfield Sports not only have the Money but they've also got leverge when it comes to GP Riders who are middle of the pack who normally need a favour via a Wildcard to get back in the following season. I'm confident that we'll have 50% of Team GB's eventual World Cup line-up in Ipswich race suits this year. How about 3/4…? woffy 8.45 lambert 7.81 brennan 7.05 rew 6.19 jenkins/jeppesen 4.46/4.34 3 pointer - Mitch mcdairmaid or gusts be my choices edwards r/s 36.96/36.84 👀😂 Gotta love an elongated silly season 😅😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’ll happen either but Lambert on 8.00 would be a far better signing than say Fricke on 9.89. Not saying Fricke is a poor signing by Lynn either btw. Just there’s far more scope for an average increase in Lambert’s figure than Fricke’s and that’s the name of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fitting send off for all of Louis, Hawkins and King to depart together after winning the PREM imo. Got to go for Rew @ No.4 imo and if the Becker rumour is true then he's the No.3 with Brennan @ No.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's Lambert's is only that low because he's only shown up for the Play-Offs in recent seasons, Can easily put a 0.75-1.00 point on a 8.00 Assessed GSA imo.

Godfrey said on the podcast last week that King had been quite vocal about the fact he wouldn’t do one league, and needed two leagues otherwise he’d retire. So he has two clubs he could have signed for. The latest podcast this week, name dropped Riss, Wright, Kerr and Lawson in at Northampton. Nobody else so far. King will be at Ipswich. Louis probably done his mate one last favour before buggering off. Edited February 1 by Aries 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had Brennan, Becker, King and Rew for example then it only leaves 10.38 meaning no room for a No.1 as the No.6 has to be a minimum 3.00.

Only two there that I’m confident will be in the line up, are Brennan and King. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way it makes sense, That'll rule out the Wolves Trio rumour entirely which bring us onto the new rumour of Lambert @ No.1. Olly Allen as TM? He'd snap up King and he'd be working with Lambert and Brennan before the World Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every track in the top flight will take a hit on the attendances they’ve had previously I think that’s a given. It’ll be interesting to see how much of a hit though. The one team that I can see getting away with it to a degree, is Lynn. They now have the top rider in the league which they haven’t had for an awful long time, and the two young lads at reserve should pique their interest. The league set up will please nobody though and it’s been an incredibly damaging winter that has left a bad taste in the mouth that’s for sure.

I would suspect cash flow is also going to be an issue, you'd assume season ticket sales were used to pay for up front costs, rider sign on fees etc. Edited February 1 by IainB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
