mikebv 10,162 Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Great racing... Makes it doubly disappointing so little effort is made to promote it... No point having a great product and no semblance of capability in the marketing of it.. A full Grandstand with plenty of Ippo fans in attendance and it would be one of those meetings lasting long in the memory of all who were there.. When will the penny drop do you think? In fact. Maybe every meeting should have 50 tickets given away to the away team? They are not there now so won't cost much in real terms.. Who knows, maybe the clubs could pay for the coach? As if...

GiveusaB 1,105 Posted June 3, 2019 Great speedway meeting! Ipswich unlucky with Harris damaging his bike? Couldve been a different result? How annoying is that 'whiney' woman announcer??? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col 849 Posted June 3, 2019 Decent meeting, Witches lack of heat 13 & 15 firepwoer was always going to be their undoing. Bewley having an off night and smart management by Hawkins putting King at #2 got Ipswich a deserved point. Bellegp deserved his heat 15 outing, he looked the most likely to lower the colours of Bjerre or Fricke to me. I did miss heats 9 & 10, so don't know what happened when Fricke was excluded & Harris' bike got damaged. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yearbyred 1,092 Posted June 3, 2019 Really enjoyable meeting with some cracking racing. Ipswich fully deserved at least a point. As a neutral I'd be perfectly happy if BT just showed Belle Vue home meetings - far more entertaining than just about any other track in the Premiership Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s why they will fall short this season. Good meeting though. Enjoyed it. Bit like Poole's team then, but we have better reserves. Top 5 only ran two last places which will keep us in meetings until the end. You keep writing us off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norbold 7,053 Posted June 3, 2019 Great effort yet again by Ipswich tonight - the team that everyone wrote off at the start of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ipswich don’t have that firepower. Ipswich are decent. Better than many predicted at the start of the season and might sneak the last playoff place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndbend 50 Posted June 3, 2019 Good result....a bit disappointing in the end but the way the team is built I guess heats 13 & 15 are going to be tough away from home. My only slight concern is KP especially riding at 5. But who else can? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arch Stanton 2,232 Posted June 3, 2019 33 minutes ago, Steve Shovlar said: As I said, Ipswich not got anything to beat Fricke and Bjerre. And the reason they will fail this year. Good race though. Don’t agree. If we had bigger hitters up top we wouldn’t have the strength in reserve or the solid look from top to bottom. We’ve beaten teams comfortably this year with our top scorer not even hitting double figures. The team is built so that every rider from 1-7 score half decent points, which totals up to winning meetings, and being competitive in others. Belle Vue are a good side, especially at home obviously, but if this was a play off final I’d fancy our chances of finishing this off at Foxhall. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No I have to agree with you there, we only lost by 2 at your place & easily won at Foxhall, so we are better than Poole's team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
