    Ipswich Witches 2024 serious team predictions

    Are those group of teenagers that are getting a free night out really there for the speedway ? or are they there to go someone to be with their mates away from parents? They will happily pay the quid (as would the parents if truth be known) Bigger issue is 16 and under is free. but then once the child gets to over 16 its £21 . thats why you rarely see many "students" at speedway. comparing season tickets Speedway is now more expensive than football in Ipswich... let that sink in

    Why do why need to be stronger at home though? We won at home by 18 points in the play off final, but still didn't win title... Surely we need to be stronger away? Or do we need to be beating teams by 20+ to help with poor away results?

    Ipswich Witches 2024 serious team predictions

    It's an Ipswich thread... where you have singled out Doyle for signing for the Witches as it benefits him.. Just like it will benefit the other 6 Witches.. but theres no mention of them? (OK only 1 other has been announced so far) Have you also posted on the other threads saying it will benefit their teams that they have signed 7 riders? Eg The Holders and Woffy grabbing the poor paying publics money at Sheffield. What about Laguta last year using the Stars for the money ( when he wasn't injured/ill/ cba ) Why arent you using Laguta as the example of a "moneygrabber" rather than Doyle who has ridden in the Uk since 2005. Is there any other non English rider who is as loyal to UK speedway as Jason Doyle? But hey its all about his benefit right? Maybe you should go back to the King's Lynn thread where you can talk about the Stars latest team of journeymen and mercenaries ( not Niels of course he's there for the love of Buster)

    So it's not just Jason Doyle .... its ALL riders but you have singled him out. No different to when Tony Rickardsson left Ipswich for Kings Lynn though or was it?

    Dont ALL riders Don't ALL riders ride in British speedway to benefit themselves? Just like any other job, you do it to benefit yourself through a wage.

    Maybe he was asked straightway when Birmingham knew they needed someone.

    Ipswich Witches 2024 serious team predictions

    Taken from this years rulebook 012.2 TEAM COMPOSITION A Premiership team’s initial declaration must not exceed 39.00 points for the top 6 riders. Rising Star riders will be declared at number 7. A Premiership teams declaration must not exceed 39.00 points in any declaration following the issue of established MA’s for 2023 for 6 riders, (excluding the Rising Star rider). Except where the MA of the introduced rider is equal to, or lower than the rider being replaced. A maximum of two riders declared in a Polish Ekstraliga team are permitted per team.

    This year's top 6 for the Witches is 39.16. Take off King and Hume 2.5% reduces that to 38.88. As Cinderella would say... "it fits"

    Emil started the season at no5 so rode with a rising star in heat 4 at the start of the season. Bewley moved to no 5 at end of season

    2024

    No disrespect to any of the rising stars this year but Sayfutdinov and Thompson vs Bewley and Mulford is not really a fair match up. The Rising stars wouldn't have gained too much from that and technically just giving the 2 GP riders easy money. Whereas Rising stars at 6 and 7 in the CL would be much more beneficial to them and the fans would see closer races . 6 man teams using "rr" would be better... but what happens if a rider is injured.. guest?

    Ipswich v Sheffield play off final 1st leg

    So...... Just finished watching the meeting on TV after being there tonight. The track was a lot drier than last meeting and should have been a lot wetter to make it an "Ipswich track" Doyle Emil and King all came to the party Hume Riss and Rew all scored their average. Thompson got stuck in. Yes the lead should have been bigger but for mistakes but hey that's the Witches way. Could have been so very different after the heat 4 incident with Hume and Doyle, fortunately both riders got up and rode for the remainder of the meeting, hope both are OK. As for Sheffield, Stead and his riders all seemed to have chip on their shoulders, whinge whinge whinge. Wonder if that's how they got Lambert in as a guest. Talking of him.... doesnt he fit in well.. wow I thought Holder would be chief dummy spitter. Wonder if the ref fined him for his comments to him? Quite easily be and as many have said if you don't like it don't ride here. As Kelvin said " it's the same for both sides " Set up nicely for the Witches on Thursday now... As for a last heat deceider like the semi final.... I'd take that any day of the week.... so long as the result is the same Up the Witches Ps I hope he not needed but I hear Lawson is available to guest on Thursday if needed...

    Ipswich v Sheffield play off final 1st leg

    Speedway is not needed at Foxhall to keep stadium alive... the stock cars and bangers do that. At one point it was muted that the speedway should go as the stock drivers were moaning about the dirty track caused by the shale track. Obviously this didn't happen but could in future. Think about it... most banger racers pay to race in a meeting for little prize money. So the gate receipts, is all income. Add in the food stands which are spedeworth owned .... it all adds up to a nice little earner. Yes they get rent from the speedway hire of the track and then food concessions but in grand scheme of things is not too much.

    Ipswich v Sheffield play off final 1st leg

    Crazy decesion... why Tuesday and not Wednesday? So much for Chris Louis saying this “It would be wonderful to see Ipswich Town fans come and give us a look – give us a cheer for this one final meeting. The atmosphere at Portman Road in recent seasons has been phenomenal, I know, I’ve experienced it – and it’s been getting better and better at Foxhall as well.”

    Ipswich v Sheffield play off final 1st leg

    Track HAS to be grippy like previous 2 matches ... a proper Foxhsll track This wiill suit the Witches whereby Holder , Lambert, Pickering and Mountain won't like it. As for the racing I don't care if its a thriller as long as the Witches come out on top... Witches hitting at least 55 would be lovely with a gate and go fest.

    SGP wild cards 2024

    Lebedevs, Bewley , Woffinden and Fricke. Last place will goto Janowski . "It is quite possible that just after Saturday's Grand Prix round, series director Phil Morris accidentally revealed the name of the first of the distinguished competitors. Right after the competition, the Briton allegedly approached Andrzej Lebedev and, thanking him for this year's performances, smilingly advised him to answer the phone the next day."
