You definitely need help … deluded and bitter 

Wrong x 3

Let me sum it up for you 

Doyle was never staying at Belle Vue … he enjoyed his time there but it wasn’t Ipswich which works for him as it’s near home 

Agreed

Bewley is on a contract LESS than what we paid for Emil so all we are doing is paying a top 2 similar to 2023 ,24 and 25…. I’m guessing Kurtz and Bewley were cheap were they??? 

Check your sources. Mine are straight from the horse mouth. 

Cairns has joined as he isn’t great on Belle Vue track 

Agreed

We let Rew go because he demanded to much money 

He’d got use to it.

We let Dan Thompson go because we could not match the sponsorship deal he got from Leicester 

Not about money, see Jason Doyle reason.Ipswich run a very good tight ship with money but it helps having the biggest fanbase ….. you may have the best track but your fans are fickle it’s well known.

Check your history and compare it to Belle Vue’s. It’s not well known, it’s made up.

You say Ipswich demand success and if you don’t get it you are sacked …. Very strange analogy 

Never said they would be sacked.

2023 to 2024 only one change and none mid season apart from Dan T

Well done  

2024 to 2025 same riders again apart from Ellis for Rew as he priced himself out and we brought in Brennan … a rider you sacked remember 

If you weren’t having a go about “sacking” Tom it would have been someone else as the rules dictated we had to lose riders.

 

2026 wholesale changes as we nearly lost our club 

Emil left before Louis.

2027 riders want to ride for the witches it seems to further their careers and in Doyle’s case coming back to a club he loves 

Tom Brennan

A good Belle Vue team is good for speedway so hopefully your fans still go

They will. During the first 15 years of this century we finished in the bottom two nine times. Support was sufficient to not only remain in the top division (unlike your club) but we also built a new stadium.

Hopefully the team does ok but can’t see Kurtz giving 110% if the team struggles and his focus on GP

Let’s hope it’s like this year.

Is this the heist movie sent in the clamours world of car racing and based in Hong Kong?

If it’s the one I’m thinking a crafty business man diverted business opportunities away from his partner, Carlton Bentley Hawthorne (played by that bloke from Rivals). Our hero intentionally misled and made secret profit in breach of his fiduciary duties and in breach of shareholders agreement. Sounds a cold fish of a movie but there are clamours locations, loved ones, relationships, luxury car brands the fullshabang. 

Requests where made and money received when our hero fell on hard times and things were put in place for the purpose of UK tax. After a lengthy court case (a bit wordy this bit with no exciting car races) where a counter claim was thrown out our hero filled for personal bankruptcy after paying a small amount demanded by the court before going on to set up other projects in the two wheeled motorsport sector. 

I think there might be a sequel due in a year or two.

All good fun and most will have a giggle and see it for what it is except the odd miserable b@stard here and there but hey ho.

Anyway..

For those that occasionally pick up the Star here and there, worth picking up this week for Witches fans. Should be a good read.

Agree

Nothing personal and it's all banter at the end of the day and I'm sure we'll get a dose back if Belle Vue end up signing Emil.

Haven’t brought a paper copy for many years but I do pay 2 quid something a week for the online subscription which I’m pretty sure is a fair bit cheaper.

Signing zach cook at 5 and beating you is when you will get your dose 😘

But in all seriousness. 

 

This fixture should be advertised as the big grudge match. Make sure any press before it has needle. Make it a fixture not to miss. 

 

Make sure its a tv meeting. Even if its just 1 meeting on ITV. 

 

Just sell it

[ouch]

Ipswich read it right with the “welcome to the dark side” post and their black outfits. Everybody loves a baddie with comedy booing at a panto or wrestling. It’s set up for good v evil, young v old with a Disneyesque wicked witch against The Aces. Done correctly we are on to a winner.

Hopefully that don't use each others riders to guest during the season, as it might dilute it a bit....😁

"In heat one we have the mouth watering prospect of watching Brady Kurtz versus Jason Doyle. Jason who top scored for the Aces, whilst guesting for Brady, in the Aces last meeting at Northampton"... 😵

Exactly this.

British Speedway needed something like this to happen in order to spice up a rivalry with a proper selling point attached to it in order to entice Television companies to get involved again.

Both Clubs should work the social media channels throughout the season to hype it up and just for the publicity it wouldn't be a bad idea if the Team Managers and Promoters threw shade at each other throughout the season pretending that they don't like each other even though it's just friendly banter for the publicity.

Much like Boxing these days really.

I was hoping you were going to get Emil tbh (Not even joking)

I can't think of anything better than Kurtz v Bewley around the NSS and Emil v Doyle around Foxhall.
