Fair play Northampton, their management is doing a better job than us witches at the moment and I mean that. Good race nights, good team building, taking action on replacing riders when they can. We could learn a thing or two from over there. I really hope Northampton don’t finish bottom! I said Ellis should have replaced Lawson for us, we won’t win anything anyway, so at least give us a good team spirit and get people enjoying coming to Ipswich instead of sitting in the pits next to that moody bastard Lawson.

I get he impression that Mayfield want to go their own way with team building & do something different in 27.

Bringing Ellis back would probably go against that & with. Month of the season left no really worth it if they are going a completely different route.

Makes sense for Northampton Ellis could b in their plans for next year

Mcdiarmid is an exciting rider to watch at Oxford. Doesn't always gate but he certainly will put in the effort if at the back.

Be interesting to see what happens with Northampton in 2027 depending on what happens with UK speedway in general , it would appear a decent core crowd of supporters is there which was a big worry pre season.

Flagrag mentioned a party with deep pockets were looking to get involved but didn't in the end if they were now convinced and got 2-3 good riders in and kept Thomson, Iverson, Ellis and the young aussie Mcdiad (or however you spell it) and could add say Anders Thompson, Becker , poss Zack Cook if Belle Vue have to shed riders that would be a good looking side. If they don't get involved its probably going to be more of the same a side making the numbers up but hopefully 10-15% better side than this year minimum.

He did, albeit against a very weak Exeter PL team in the British League cup if I remember right.

Brilliant shout based on tonight's match 👏

I'd be adding Adam to the 2027 Ipswich riders list!! I knew he would be good as he rides Foxhall well and he was very on it tonight - the best race of the night was heat 11 Tobi tried everything and almost got past a couple of times but it nice to see Adam come round for a well received lap of honour after his heat 15 win. I'd be happy to see you back at Foxhall in 2027!!

For 2027, and with more time to prepare I team I do expect to see a proper number one at least. Josh Pickering I believe will step up into the no.1 spot somewhere and I believe Bomber will end up ticking off another team to ride for especially with it being local to him. 

Without thinking of averages, I’d like to see something like:

1. Josh Pickering 
2. Kye Thomson 
3. Niels Kristian Iversen
4. Chris Harris
5. Maciej Janowski
6. William Cairns
7. Luke Harrison
