This is how a grade one pillock responds

Just wait until you hear about Richard Coleman’s most devoted cheerleader in Bury St Edmunds, a gentleman called Steve Irving, who appears to swallow every word Coleman serves up without bothering to engage his brain first!

Irving’s powers of reasoning appear to have stalled somewhere around primary school level. He genuinely seems to believe that because of an alleged arrangement between Ipswich and Wrocław, riders signing for Wrocław automatically become Ipswich signings as well!

By that logic, supermarket employees contracted to ASDA should also clock in at Tesco, while Lloyds Bank staff should routinely turn up for shifts at NatWest. Utterly ridiculous, isn’t it?

But the greatest entertainment comes from Irving’s unwavering devotion to Coleman. The holes in his arguments are so enormous that you could drive a double-decker bus through them.

Take the claim that Ipswich are signing Dan Bewley because of the Wrocław arrangement. Conveniently overlooked is the fact that Jason Doyle has signed for Częstochowa. And the much-discussed possibility of Kacper Woryna joining Ipswich appears to have died a death. Of course, Woryna rides for Lublin, not Wrocław!

Then we arrive at the extraordinary case of Kim Nilsson.

Apparently, Nilsson is a 2027 Grand Prix rider and precisely the signing that transforms Ipswich into potential title winners. If he’s a Grand Prix rider, one of the supposed 15 best riders in the world, surely his assessed average should reflect that status. Are we talking 6.00 or 8.50?

Not according to the Suffolk faithful!

Suddenly, Nilsson is apparently worth no more than 4.50 because he rides in the Polish third tier for Landshut. So let me get this straight: when a rider is associated with Wrocław, the Polish connection is apparently worth its weight in gold. But when that same logic doesn’t suit the argument, suddenly the Polish league connection counts for absolutely nothing!

WHAT?!

Nilsson rides for Landshut, not Wrocław! How terribly inconvenient!

And then there’s Richard “Tricky Dicky” Coleman himself.

Coleman is becoming the Paul McKenna of British Speedway, seemingly capable of hypnotising an entire section of the sport’s supporters into believing that he’s some sort of second coming.

His headline-grabbing masterstroke? Taking the Speedway Grand Prix series to Gillman in Australia. Hardly the sort of announcement that sets the sporting world alight. It’s rather like announcing a Speedway Grand Prix at Redcar or Somerset and expecting the world to applaud.

Coleman has also presided over the movement of the British Speedway Grand Prix from Cardiff to Belle Vue and, subsequently, Ipswich. Yet we’re constantly told that Tricky Dicky is the man who can pull off the big moves.

Where is the evidence?

We’re still waiting.

And that’s the fundamental problem: the so-called “Suffolk crew without a clue” seem far more interested in worshipping Coleman than applying even the most basic level of scrutiny to what he actually delivers.

As for Grand Prix riders, there is currently  a small number who appear to have no appetite for riding for Coleman’s Ipswich club. Perhaps they’ve already seen through the sales pitch and recognised the difference between genuine ambition and a convincing publicity campaign.

Whether that number grows remains to be seen.

Finally, let's circle back to the supposed Ipswich signing of Dan Bewley.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

But there’s one rather obvious question that nobody in the Coleman appreciation society seems particularly keen to address:

IF DAN BEWLEY HAS ALREADY SIGNED FOR IPSWICH, WHY HAVEN’T WE HEARD ABOUT IT?

Let’s be honest, Coleman isn’t exactly renowned for keeping exciting news under wraps. Quite the opposite. He’s a man who appears to relish the limelight and publicity.

If Bewley had genuinely signed on the dotted line, I’d suggest we’d have heard about it from every available rooftop, social media platform and speedway news outlet by now.

So perhaps, just perhaps, it’s time to separate wishful thinking from reality.

Because blind loyalty isn’t evidence, speculation isn’t confirmation, and repeating somebody’s sales pitch doesn’t magically make it fact.

Less hero worship. More critical thinking. And, above all, a little less believing everything Tricky Dicky tells you.
 

as you have said more critical thinking needed!!

Lemon crying so wants to put it out there before Ipswich can announce Doyle and Cairns

Rising Star picks are happening on Friday. I presume Luke Harrison will stay at Northampton and Jody Scott at King's Lynn. 

Therefore we will pick first and have choices of the likes of: Ace Pijper, Jordy Loftus, Ryan Ingram, Freddy Hodder, Vinnie Foord and Max Perry

I'd take Jordy personally, still very young has massively improved in recent years. Also, I think after riding at Edinburgh for so long he might take to the Ipswich track more quickly than Ace Pijper for example.

I don't doubt your knowledge I just don't understand the logic behind the decision from Ipswich. Vinnie Foord has got worse in the last 2 years in terms of Championship averages! I know Workington may have played a factor but still. Surely bring in someone at least getting better!

yeah no worries, not 100% convinced myself but merely passing what what I think is happening based on some very reliable sources - we all know on here and other places whose good and whose not so good for the rumours etc!

Coleman has made Lemon and Belle Vue his bitch. Hope they’ve stoped crying by the time we visit the NSS next season

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

I'm not writing off Northampton just yet.

Lidsey won't be that bad again, Musielak is capable of scoring well, Thomson is improving year on year plus Morris and Iversen are solid scorers.

If Belle Vue pull a rabbit out of the hat then it will be the same 4 Clubs in the Top 4.

penny has dropped then, the same four teams we have had for the past four seasons. ill ask again, what is the point in the play offs? We are going to have another season of months of meaningless fixtures just to get to the play offs.
