Wonder how they're going to pay for all of Jack, Chris and Tai if SpeedwayGP.com is correct.

There is no indication of not running, they will continue as sole promoters it states.

Why on earth did they announce it if the deal wasn’t finalised.  

[Cue Ball]

They did say that it wasn’t signed and sealed - I guess they were in a position where they had to declare that they were racing and so had to hope it came off

What a total letdown. Re-enter Mr Mole

Worrying times for Premiership.IMO

Even if they are still running someone Bank Balance  is going to take a big hit.

Last signing going to be Pickering, shame as he’s as he’s thinking he’s at a different level than he actually is, Championship heat leader at best, nowhere near the Kurtz, Fricke, J Holder, Bewley level on his best of days.  Would rather settle with someone with room for home and improvement away than a one track pony home rider

No he’s not quite on the level of Kurtz, Holder, Bewley Fricke but he isn’t far behind. He’s an exciting rider to watch and anyone prem team would have him

That’s because the BSPL announced Ipswich were running and not Chris Louis who apparently was rightly furious

Definitely not a one track rider, rides well home and away, any team would welcome him. He is not a gp rider standard and his average shows that but an exciting rider who never gives up and worth a place in any team.

Maybe it won’t be Pickering? If he’s demanding the big bucks that some are suggesting, maybe after yesterday’s news they may now go for a cheaper rider. 
 

TBF, there’s a few options still there that would in all likelihood be cheaper.

If they want cheaper best to get rid of Jack.

But that deal was already done. Maybe the last rider is too I don’t know. You also have to look at value for money. Jack may be expensive, but they may feel he’s the one rider worth pushing the boat out for. If Pickering is after similar money (and I’m not saying he is), then maybe they feel that isn’t value for money as he’s not in that class of rider. Doyle was very expensive at Ipswich, someone mentioned earlier that Pickering was asking for similar to what Doyle was getting. None of us really know the finer points, but there plenty of people who claim Pickering is demanding big money so there’s probably an element of truth in that.
