I’d bet my house on the play offs being Ipswich, Leicester, Belle Vue and Sheffield which makes you wonder what’s the point of it all 

I'm not so sure on Belle Vue yet tbh, Need to pull a rabbit out of the hat imo because they've lost a lot of points when it comes to the No.5 and No.6 positions.

They even look weaker in the engine room department compared to other Clubs rumoured 1-7's on paper.

They've got Brady granted but he still needs some form of backup.

Great signing, not ever seen him be fab at Foxhall but his away form for sure will be a huge plus. Sure he will dial in too quickly!

Oh dear Belle Vue. If we sign Doyle we have more fire power at the NSS than anyone in our top two and that’s the one track we always struggle at so it’s game on I guess. That being said, let’s see who they get in to replace him at Belle Vue as we want a strong league, not just a strong Ipswich team. 

Agree, Main Challenge will come from Leicester imo as the rumoured 1-7 looks fantastic tbh.

Got a lot of experienced riders on low GSA's, Powerful Top 2 and someone at reserve who'll be one of the better No.6's.

The League needs a strong Belle Vue so I hope they can pull a rabbit out of the hat.

It won't make any difference to his improvement imo, not at his age, gone for the £££££, which is fine. I thank Dan for everything but I wish him no luck riding for a rival 😂

I’m sorry but that can’t possibly be true. There’s no way the fella at Ipswich is paying big money for anyone because the fella is all fart and no shiit and you’ve all been brainwashed by his bluster. 
 

Or something like that.

So who is expecting Woryna to replace Dan at Belle Vue or Fricke? Will be interesting to see how the pieces are put together for the rest of the league. Lambert to Kings Lynn I’m assuming but I haven’t really been keeping up to date with anything so far in the off season.

The Aces have only around 8 points left for two riders so no chance of any "big hitter" coming in..

The progress shown by those "lesser lights" retained for next season was certainly impressive...

(I remember "someone" on here, before last season started, saying that the Aces could be ruled out as they would "struggle badly away from home")...

Home advantage is the key that Mark Lemon will be basing his decision on..

That, and having two teams weaker...

Have you forgotten youre talking about Kings Lynn and Northampton? Its obvious who the top four will be.

Would really enjoy seeing Norick kick on again next season, he’s such a likeable lad and has shown he’s got bags of ability.

Didn’t sound as though Tate was sure where he was going in this weeks Star Mike, he was certainly adamant that he hasn’t as yet got a premiership ride. 
 

We’ll have to wait and see what Belle Vue come up with.

I have to say, the flo yellow front wheel on Dan's bike looks mega. He will certainly stand out on track. Great signing for both parties. Dan is such a likeable guy as well, very happy he has stayed in Britain.

There’s 20 clubs in the Premiership football but we all knew the title this year would be one of two clubs, Manchester City or Arsenal. Thats now been whittled down to one after the Manc’s were confirmed as cheats.

We need at least 5 teams to be competitive otherwise it will be like last season 

Ipswich and  Leicester look strong but Belle Vue are always going to be weaker this season that’s what happens otherwise in 1999 Ipswich wouldn’t have had to lose Rickardsson and Nicholls

Dan announced a while back that he was unhappy about riding in the UK under duress. Belle Vue respected that. I wouldn’t be surprised if another club stepped in with mega bucks and Dan phoned in his performance each time he begrudgingly took to the track over here. 

Haha comical

Good luck to Dan...

Great to see one of the world's best, (and most exciting), riders, choose to keep riding in the UK...

This is how you respond as a decent Belle Vue supporter

Dan confirmed his intention to sit out the UK this coming season in the Ipswich press release. It’s something we have know for some time and respected. The chance however to become the highest paid team man in British league history (not allowing for inflation) was too big a gift horse to pass up, so fair play to him. 

I posted that he would likely phone in his performance but that was a disservice to Dan who will try his best no matter who he has to ride for. My only hope is that Ipswich work their magic again and take a talented ex Aces reserve, knock a chunk off his average then drop him like a hot potato for someone else to reap the benefit. Christ, they even turned Jason into a seven point odd man before we returned him to a near nine point man. The advantage of riding for a prestigious club and having fun again. 

This is how a grade one pillock responds

I felt he made big strides last season in my view , I'd been a bit critical of him as he seems to be not making the expected progress, like you say nice fella too!
