This guy Coleman dont know his arse from his elbow!  A complete clown. One minute it is Kennett then it aint. Then it is a guest then it aint.  Then the original rider is back all along!!

God help Ipswich with this muppet in charge and he runs the GPs aswell what a joke!!!!

You put your right leg in, your left leg out, you do the Hokey Kokey and you....fall flat on your face.

So, Kennett's failing to practice has saved Ipswich from even further embarrassment!

Philip will 100% be back at Foxhall this Thursday

Apart from "seeming to try" what are peoples expectations for his scoring this season?

 

Just that will do for starters 🙄

Chris Louis must be shaking his head at this guy Coleman.  Coleman will be a one season wonder he will realise soon he is out of his depth.  Changes his mind like the weather and is useless with the rulebook.  He will stroll off into the sunset at the end of the season.

All joking and P1ss taking aside, there must come a point where the reality drops in on British Speedway. They whether be lack of crowds, riders or whatever, seriously how long can a cockroach survive without it's head!

Andrew Chisholm is in charge of the day to day running of the club, not Coleman who has his hands full elsewhere. Chisholm and Hurry put the team together, and decide on team matters, that was confirmed before the season started. 
 

I’m not quite getting this overreaction either. It’s all explained in yesterday’s article. They planned to use Kennett while the uncertainty around Bangs continued. They were less than impressed when a scheduled practice session after Thursdays meeting didn’t materialise when Kennett didn’t bother turning up so quite rightly binned the idea. 
 

They then booked Mulford as a guest for Thursdays meeting under the impression that Bangs would still be unavailable. 
 

That changed literally yesterday when Bangs himself is quoted as saying he only received the paperwork from Doctors to resume racing yesterday 

I have been working really, really hard to get some papers from the doctors to allow me to get started as soon as possible. I got that today, and now I am ready.”

What have they actually done wrong here? I agree it’s an unusual set of circumstances, but circumstance it is. 
 

People are being overly critical and typical of this forum, overreacting to trivial matters. 

I don't think they done much wrong, it seems to me to be largely out of their control.

Better hope not as there doesn't seem to be a que to take over

Absolutely this.

IF the meeting goes ahead, let’s just hope that Bangs comes back in refreshed after his enforced break, with a good attitude and a determination to do well and score some points. We all want him (well Ipswich fans anyway) to do well and be a success. 
 

Let’s hope he starts delivering so we don’t have to even look at potential replacements.

What are you smoking? Coleman doesn’t chose the team or guests does he! 😂he already said before that he does other parts of the business and team building isn’t his strong point. I guess you didn’t attend the Witches media day and just want to be another keyboard warrior without any info backing it up. 
Many Ipswich fans would be shaking their head at the way Chris Louis left the club so the less said about his thoughts on things the better.

You mean the bloke that went against the cartel and has been ostracised for it by looking after his riders by making sure they were properly insured? 
 

Yeah him.

At least some people are trying I guess! More than some people on here do, just constantly moan and have nothing positive to say at all. If everyone had the attitude of some people on this forum the door in speedway would have been shut a long time ago, and before anyone wants to make a smart comment about “maybe they should have” then actually think why are you even in this forum. People SHOULD want speedway to succeed, everyone can mocks each other and clubs in meetings when someone isn’t good enough but ti then constantly slate the entire sport doesn’t do any favours either.

There are two GP's this weekend in the UK, at one of the best tracks in the world, with one night already sold out..

That alone shows that the sport in this country can draw plenty of people "when done right", and also shows plenty of UK fans are still willing to pay out plenty to watch it..

Showing there is still a strong affinity from many towards it...

Hopefully, the likes of Richard Coleman can lead the changes so every UK meeting is "done right" and the future is a positive one...

Was really looking forward to this weekend, but no Bewley has taken the shine off it for me and probably lots of others. Been the most entertaining rider around this year and will be hugely missed.

Agreed, but Zmarzlik v Kurtz will still be worth the visit...

Looking forwards to watching Woryna too...

Plus Lambert...

And Doyle, Madsen, and hopefully Lindgren and the others who don't ride over here...

Majority won’t be British supporters 

By a long way they will...

The Aces fans alone will number circa 3000 if last year is replicated...

Sad that Dan is injured but there are plenty of racers in the field who should thrive around the NSS.
