Steve Irving Posted yesterday at 07:55 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 07:55 PM 1 hour ago, 89buttons said: Technically we donβt even know the new owners of Ipswich Witches identity as yet, might not even be mayfield π 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said a while ago that 5 riders were signed, so why canβt these be announced? These signings surely have the new owners blessing? He says he fully understands the frustration of supporters so why canβt at least some of the riders be revealed? Heβd have been better off saying nothing. Heβs 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.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris116 Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago My worry is that, potentially, we have a motor sport firm taking over at Ipswich and I remember all too clearly what happened to Rye House in a similar situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know it makes sense......... π Trouble is, Foxhall is a long way from most tracks, and Championship circuits are a major trek: Oxford 144 miles* Scunthorpe 189 miles Poole 205 miles Redcar 265 miles Plymouth 310 miles Workington 340 miles Berwick 357 miles Glasgow 417 miles Edinburgh 425 miles * even Oxford is a bugger of a journey from east Suffolk - I know, because I've driven it many times (when Son #2 was at Uni).

Baldyman Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Certainly not the most inspiring team on paper, but I guess that was to be expected. Let's hope they they don't start with s few loses on the trot,, otherwise the safe hands Chris is leaving the team, might not look so safe when the crowd numbers drop offΒ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
