I think as it opens with after 3 unforgettable years in British speedway & closes with once a witch always a witch it’s pretty conclusive.

Yes at the Witches presentation evening tonight.

No Emil is a massive loss not only to Ipswich but British speedway in general.

However I don’t think it’s a massive surprise.

Emil has been nothing but pure class these past 3 years & I feel really privileged to have been able to watch him week in week out for the past 3 seasons.

I’d like to think that we may not have seen the last of him on the heath.

Emil as you say has been pure class and it's been a wonderful privilege to be part of this as a supporter. From a lay person's point of view does this tell us anything about the league set ups next year or am I reading too much into it?

I don’t think so at this stage. He came he to win trophies & has for filled what he & the club set out to achieve.
 

I had a hunch that this season was very much about unfinished business for Emil & that it would be his last.
 

He is a rider who likes to be well organised in advance so I think it possibly hints at the uncertainty that is going on behind the scenes in uk speedway.

If the state of play for uk speedway was settled could Louis have offered him another deal? I suspect he could have & possibly Emil would have agreed. Currently I don’t believe that uk speedway is in the position where Louis could have offered Emil a deal to allow Emil to make plans for 26.

Having said that honestly I believe it’s a case of job done & it’s a great time for this chapter to close. Clearly these is a massive mount of mutual respect between club & rider.

It’s been a great journey & one thing is for certain Emil is a true Ipswich legend!
