Pleased for Kyle that he should be fit when there is still a meaningful chunk of the season left.

 

Throws a challenge down to Sarj to make it impossible to be dropped.....

Newman has to go back in, otherwise we will all be wondering what if

So hopefully in 4-6 weeks Newman will be fit and ready to resume his season. You can bet if not at Ipswich then a rider like him wont be on the sidelines for long.

Its already been stated that's Sarj is a temporary replacement and Newman will return to the side once fit.

 

Although maybe we should just keep Sarj and let Newman strengthen up someone else just to give the rest of the league a chance... :P

Good news re Newman but let's wait and see. Speedway is a funny old game and as long as both riders are active it is for the good of speedway as a whole and Sarj rode his socks off last night and no doubt Newman would have done the same. It supports the idea of a squad system with the potential to loan a rider to another club as long as it is not to a team that the loaner (sorry not the deal phraseology) is due to race against in a league fixture. In other words Ipswich could not lend Newman to Redcar if Redcar were the next opposition. Just a thought and probably a load of b....ll..cks but I would rather see both riders active than one sidelined because the home team could not fit them in. ✌️

Interestingly the club website has updated King's track record last night on the club info page, but the track length remains 285 meters.

I posed the question on the Sheff meeting thread.

 

The website,programme and indeed the Speedway Star preview all listing length as 285m but it cant still be that.

 

Perhaps no one could find a trundle wheel 😆😆

The track probably isn't any different since its measured a metre from the curb

but the kerb came in 2 metres so the new measure line will still be 2 metres inside the old measure line ???

 

It has to be shorter.

 

Do a little experiment - all you will need is paper, pencil , string an scissors!! 😆

 

Draw your track shape, fit the string to line and cut.

 

Then shave off a section to create a new inside line to make a new shape into your turn 1.

 

Fit a new piece of string to it and cut.

 

I guarantee the second piece of string will be shorter.

It's only a tiny part of the entry to the corners, so it's only a couple of metres shorter at the most

Maybe a couple of male pboro fans can get together on this and use part of their anatomy instead of string....

Do they have any male supporters, cos some whinge like girls 👭

For me if Ipswich can hang in there until Newman returns i recon they have every chance in this league.If Newman can get back for the home Glasgow fixture ( a big match) he would of missed 9 meeting's hopefully Sarjeant can chip in until Newman returns.
