Hehe, very clever edit Badge. The thought of that flapperjack (on the track, not as a person) Paul Hurry back at Foxhall isn't funny MrH. Any more local news about the possibility of a new team manager next season. I'm ever hopeful.

I'm assuming you witches have seen this. From speedway world.com
HAMPEL'S WITCHES COMEBACK? JAREK Hampel is set to return to the Elite League with Ipswich next season. The 25-year-old Pole is looking ahead to a 2008 campaign where he will not be involved in the Grand Prix series after a number of injury setbacks including a broken hand this year. And he says he is "90 per cent" sure that he will be back in the UK after four years away, and that he will be riding at Foxhall. Hampel rode for the Witches as a youngster and has not represented any other British club. If he signs again for Ipswich, it would give the Witches two strong Poles in their line-up with Robert Miskowiak already having agreed his deal. Hampel said: "I definitely want to ride in England next year, and I will be speaking to John and Chris Louis first. I have not spoken to them yet and I plan to have a holiday soon. "But on my return I will be in contact with Ipswich. I don't want to talk to other clubs, I want to talk just to Ipswich. "I am of course disappointed not to be in the GP series next season, but also I only had about 20 meetings in Poland and 20 in Sweden last season, and I need more than that. "England will provide me with that. Of course, I don't have the Grand Prix, but I needed more meetings anyhow

Yes thanks Jacques, it's the feature that appeared in the Evening Star the other day......don't know whether it lends anymore truth to it by appearing on speedwayworld though. Yesterday Chris was on the radio, and although he hasn't spoken to Jarek, every year he is asked to return to Foxhall, and I think he is hopeful that he will return for 2008. Assuming he doesn't want too much money (that's my opinion BTW)

Yes, he's been quite a little earner for us over the years ;D, that's what happens when you can't ride your parent club's track So just to reiterate, no thanks to a return of Leigh

Here's a question: Hampel has said he didn't have enough meetings last year and would like more. His average, if he returns to the elite league, will be reassessed to 8.00 having missed three seasons. Loram was injured early on in the year and Ipswich needed a heatleader. So why didn't JL ask Jarek to do a few meetings just to keep his average active, replace Loram, and give Hampel the extra meetings he needed? Or did he, and circumstances prevented it?

Yes I think you will find, both Jarek and Tomas were asked

Badge is right. Both our absentee Poles were asked this year, and Jarek at least was approached when Chris Louis got injured at Coventry a couple of seasons ago - in fact I spoke with Mike Smillie on the phone the day after the crash to see how Chris was, and he had literally just got off the phone to Jarek! [rant] I get really cross when muppets on our forum go on about John & chris "not bothering to talk to riders" when in fact they know fuck all about the Situation and are just talking out of their arses. *and b-r-e-a-t-h-e!* [/rant mode off]

This is for LW:
IPSWICH have confirmed the return of Tobias Kroner for next year - and announced a change of team manager. Kroner joined the Witches midway through the 2006 season and has made consistent progress over the last 18 months. He was a track reserve at the German Grand Prix, and it was no surprise that he has agreed to stay with the Suffolk side, where he joins Robert Miskowiak as a definite starter for 2008. The Witches will have a new manager next season, with Mike Smillie moving aside into a more organisational role, whilst long-time sponsor and former junior rider Pete Simmons takes over in charge of the team. Smillie said: "My workload has virtually quadrupled in the last few years as I now look after the administration side of things for the club. Few people probably realise the sheer volume of work required to run a speedway club. "I think the time is right for me to adopt more of a backstage role to ensure the smooth running of the club for the long term future and my heart is totally in the club. "Pete is a good man who is always in the pits. He chipped in quite a bit last season and is a pretty switched on guy and I am sure that he will be a great success as team manager."
[glow=red,2,300]fantastic Tobi ;D[/glow]
Must say I would like to thank Mike for all his hard work, and wish Pete all the best in his new job.
