No Championship teams rode on the Monday so, this year, why are Poole v Swindon TBC possibly allowed Good Friday. CL gets preference i assume,and as much as 9 riders would be missing from the Ipswich/Kings Lynn teams on the Friday,so good call. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know about nine riders but Ipswich would be without King, Lawson, Allen and Heeps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure Lynn could be without 4 if not 5 on that day. We will see in the coming weeks Edited January 25, 2019 by tellboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was on radio Suffolk in the week, cant remember which day though. Didn't say much about situation just the usual happy to be joining Witches blah blah.

Susans1 27 Posted January 26, 2019 Being a Ipswich fan myself I would ask aII of the people that it would be a good idea to stop all these negative posts regarding the team etc and save any negative posts until the season has started then we will all be in a better position to judge based on the teams performance. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree that we need to give the team the chance - I dont think it is as adrift of the others as many are predicting and cant understand the level of negativity I do however think Blu is right in that you shouldnt expect people to not post their genuine thoughts. I dont think those posting negatively are doing so just for the sake of it (even Baldy ) - they are honest opinions which should always be welcome 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted January 27, 2019 Maybe people should refrain from positive posts about the team, at least give the lads a chance to prove how poor they are Seriously though, nothing worse than people telling others what they should be doing. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will be a top quality wooden spoon battle. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it is a bit much to refer to it as a team given that it is no more than a bunch of individuals with no loyalty or local knowledge or upbringing riding under the Ipswich Witches banner. Even Harris whinges that he had to start finding new sponsors having lined up a few around Peterborough and is possibly in transit. Most witches fans were able to support and follow local home grown talent and more recently rely on the Louis family to be the back bone of Ipswich speedway. That last remaining foundation has gone so expect criticism from here on in given that someone north of the border has got his hands on Suffolk’s number one team. Sad to say that the frequency of home meetings has not improved and the golden days of weekly speedway at the Heath are just history and will be no more as long as the farce of two leagues carries on. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GWC 495 Posted January 28, 2019 Agreed Hawk127 speedway teams now need to be built around the Eastbourne model - 3 heat leaders (higher average riders) and the rest as local as you can get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
