Technically we don’t even know the new owners of Ipswich Witches identity as yet, might not even be mayfield 😉

A member of Mayfield sports events LTD were present alongside Chris Louis at the recent staff signing on session. A lot of capital has already been committed via the club purchase, lease of the stadium, and rider signing on fees. This has resulted in them loaning a new air fence for the coming season, with a purchase option at a later date.

If the new owners announced are not Mayfield Sports, then something has gone awry at the 11th hour and Louis has gone to plan B.

Until the new owners of the club are revealed, Chris Louis owns Ipswich Speedway. He said a while ago that 5 riders were signed, so why can’t these be announced? These signings surely have the new owners blessing? He says he fully understands the frustration of supporters so why can’t at least some of the riders be revealed? He’d have been better off saying nothing. He’s shot himself in the foot in my opinion.

It's not his team to announce though is it!

If you were negotiating a sale worth tens of thousands of pounds to you would you be disclosing the planned new owners team against their wishes?

That doesn't seem the best way to conduct the process to me....
