It speaks volumes for the club (The rules & BSPA).

IPSWICH will remain with their existing team line-up after plans to make a double deadline day change were rejected.

The Witches had informed Justin Sedgmen and Connor Mountain that they were being released, but have now re-instated both riders.

Director of Speedway Chris Louis said: “I had proposals to make team changes but they have rightly not been approved.

“I felt Justin hasn’t been doing quite what was expected of him and I think he knows that too. Phoning Connor to say he was dropped was the toughest phone call I have had to make, he’s done so little wrong.

“With transfer deadline looming as it was this weekend, we needed to make decisions and we decided to change the balance of the side. Our proposals haven’t been accepted though, so I went back to both riders to ask them to stay.

“All I can say is that it speaks volumes for the club and the two riders that both agreed straightaway to keep racing and giving their best for the Witches. In a strange way, this may well have a very positive effect on us and I’m very proud of both riders that they feel strongly enough about the club to stay.”

It speaks volumes of a monumental cock up by Ipswich who clearly hadn't done the maths right, quite how anyone can cock that up with freely available GSA is beyond me.

Had to laugh when I read that statement from Chris Louis, that both thought so much of the club they agreed to stay on.
I imagine, it went like this, "Do you mean we have a job till end of season instead of being out of work Mr Louis, we will have to go away and think about it, then get back to you," or maybe they let him know straight away.
