89buttons Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 17 minutes ago, TTT said: Anyone find it frustrating that the Club didn't announce the other 4 signed riders? Announcing the full 1-7 in one go doesn't make any sense because Edwards has already been confirmed. I mean I think it’s fair enough to allow the new owners to announce the team they’ve signed and running once the sale is complete, appreciate the frustration at how long this protracted sale has now gone on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know many have joked about what are you buying etc etc etc but you don't just walk into a shop and select Ipswich Speedway off the shelf and walk out with it! I agree that perhaps comms could have been a bit sharper but thats speedway all over - also whilst time drags for us waiting it flies for those involved in selling / buying!! It's also not up to Louis to annouce the team - that's new owners job! Edited February 12 by GeneralMelchett 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I woukd be happy for him to be a Witch - I suppose some wont forgive him after the playoff 2023 with what he said. I can think of many a rider who has gone from zero to hero at a club that previously disliked them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witches1998 Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 I believe Huckenbeck would be an 8.00, but Wozniak would come in on a 6.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not me, he's is a Great Britain Speedway living legend. He's done nothing to deserve the hate at all. I'd argue with anyone, that without him, we may never have seen the likes of Lambert & Bewley competing near the top on the World stage. He singlehandedly demanded & lifted the standards of our international setup. We were an international laughing stock before this guy came along. He's a little hyper, swears a bit, has a little arrogance, grew up in Australia. Who gives a feck. Wearing that Union Jack, he's given everything, almost killing himself a few times doing so. Like you, I do not get the hate at all. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t hate him, I don’t like him but I respect what he has achieved and as much as I dislike him he would be the first name on the list if I was putting on a big individual meeting because he is a headline generator and gets people talking and is vastly underused by British speedway as a marketing tool, the less said about his music the better though 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he'd have achieved what he has, and rebounded from so many setbacks, and maybe be as sweary, if he wasnt built a bit that way Edited February 12 by Hamish McRaker Edit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
