IPSWICH director Chris Louis says he will travel to the BSPA AGM this week with the club's future far from secure.The Witches had hoped to secure additional investment to ensure their place in the Elite League, but the deal fell through at a late stage and Louis is now not ruling out any eventuality.He said: "It's a big blow, I can't pretend it isn't. But we are not the only Elite League club in this position."So we go to the AGM on Thursday to find out our future. It could be either league, Elite or Premier. I don't want to think it could be no league at all, but the bottom line is our future is currently out of our hands."
