This rumoured 1-7 with lawson and jeppesen i dont see as any worse than Leicester built the same way?

Fricke was a race winner, and top of the averages..

You cannot then lose race points when he wins..

The possible Ipswich team won't be winning too many Heats One, Thirteen and Fifteen, I would think given the one and fives for the other teams...

That could easily be an eight point swing as a minimum..

But Leicester now dont have fricke. I'm comparing the rumoured '26 ipswich team to the confirmed 26 Leicester team with dougy at 1

Apologies...

Thought you were comparing this years potential Ipswich to last years Lions...

Ipswich and Leicester, this year,could be of a similar level....

Who cares? Will be the sports biggest challenge.

Ipswich Speedway Promtions Ltd committed to run at the AGM.  Just the same as King's Lynn Speedway Ltd did  (and the companies which promote Belle Vue, Leicester and Sheffield).

Any could be sold at any time,  but they all committed.

So ISPL "made a commitment" to run, even though its proprietor had apparently said previously that he was walking away from involvement in the sport with immediate effect? And BSPL incorporated that "commitment" into their statement that a minimum 5 team league would happen? Really?

I don't understand your problem.   Ipswich Speedway Promotions Ltd is the company that holds the promotion rights to Ipswich Witches.  Chris Louis is the sole shareholder.   

Chris Louis didn't want to continue, so his options were to pull out altogether (and have a near enough worthless company) or sell the company's main asset (the licence) to someone else.  He chose the latter, and agreed to sell the club.

Businesses change hands all the time.  I might win the Euromillions this week and offer Buster a million quid for King's Lynn.  I buy the club and its licence, and things carry on, just with a new owner.
