Ipswich Witches 2026

Government aides have several names under consideration and Starmer will be told to make an announcement in the House of Commons later. Until then the party view is that all this idle chat is causing unnecessary pain for Northampton residents and speculation should stop now.

I think we've had enough of the will they won't they 

Imagine if Starmer was involved - as soon as the announcement was made everyone would be waiting for the dreaded U-turn!

Badenoch would blame Starmer, without providing a solution.

Davey would demand a Public Enquiry.

Polanski wouldn't be asked.

Farage would blame the Turks.

 

 

[Baldyman]

Northampton Stopgaps, which is basically all they are

Yep. He could decide it was unfair to put riders through the pain of racing for six months and instead abandon the fixtures and go straight to the play offs with all five teams competing. It would be fairer for the riders, the public and the economy. Rachel Reeves will make a commons statement on how she can help financially which will include no VAT on all burger and chip sales during the play offs. That should sort UK speedway out for 2026.

If it's too late for an Out and Out No.1, Would anyone else be happy with a Top 4 of Brennan, Lawson, Musielak and Klindt?

That should make Ipswich tough to beat at Home imo.

The die hards will be happy with anything,, they will be going anyway. As for the rest I think the team needs to be atleast competitive with a touch of excitement. 

I'm interested to know if there will be someone different looking after the track,, and how they will prepare it for some possibly good racing.
