I wasn't going to go Thursday,,, I am now Same here Baldy, wasn’t bothering, definitely am now. Just a shame Crump took that tumble as he was starting to get going nicely, much better than I was expecting. Looking at the line up above, MUCH more competitive. Kemp is starting to get going so the reserve pair looks strong. Cook for Heeps gives us a more potent attack too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

89buttons 749 Posted June 9, 2021 Good moves, sad for the two lads out injured but that’s the tough side of speedway - with the lack of rider availability in uk I’m sure both will get opportunities later in the season when fit again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IronScorpion 1,407 Posted June 9, 2021 Clutching at straws on Cook's average, his Premiership average was 7.59 due to increase as of 1/6 to 7.82, but as he was released before 1/6 does his recent (June) Championship average come in to play, converted, to 6.71.

IronScorpion 1,407 Posted June 9, 2021 I have just been to the Ipswich website & it has Cook at 7.59 for Thursday. https://ipswichwitches.co/ipswich-v-peterborough-raceday-preview-3/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ipswichwitches 16 Posted June 9, 2021 Just now, Rob B said: Cook will be on 7.82 It's strange as he left Kings Lynn on 7.59 according to green sheet issued 1st June and 3rd June. But on the 8th June that has gone up to 7.82. His last match for the Stars was on 27th June. 7.59 appears to be his starting average for the season. Lets's hope we haven't made a mistake somewhere.

IronScorpion 1,407 Posted June 9, 2021 That is why I posted my previous post as the rules have been twisted, bent & gone round corners. They are said to be using his "old, May Premiership" average but his "recent" Championship average should apply. Either way, Ipswich have re-declared under the limit.
