TBF I think that was just @AceBelle! If there’s to be a sting in the tail and the unthinkable happens on Thursday, I’m sure we’ll all see him suddenly awaken from his coma 😁

It was nice to see us win at Leicester with 6 riders 👏🏻 stops that argument about Sheffield finishing top and thinking they are the best side! They couldn’t beat Leicester with their 7 riders so no chance they are the best team in the league after last night 🏆 All you heard all season when Witches were top is that “wait until the play offs” from other teams… well we waited and only Leicester and Ipswich made it! Best two teams in the league then or still up for debate? 😉 If we lose it I’ll be disappointed but I do like Leicester, their fans, and their team / manager. Let’s just make Thursday an amazing atmosphere from both fans and good luck 🤞🏻

https://ipswichwitches.co/raceday-guide-leicester-h-3/ Waiting on fitness update on Ellis. Will be “R/R or guest” (obviously 😂) if he doesn’t make it. R/R for me of the two options personally. Win or lose with our team.

It was funny when Scotty tried in a roundabout way to get Emil to admit that his Polish team had restricted his performances, he brushed over it , didnt seem to admit or deny as you would expect.

OMG, this cannot be correct, what a shambles of a decision. TW adds nothing to the series apart from his dog pooh boom boom dj rubbish. No doubt the sponsors have had their say in including a three time world championship medal winner. Cannon fodder, no less.

What, like missing Lawson last Sunday????

I honestly don’t see the big deal here and think some people are overreacting. They’ve done all the team meetings in huddles etc etc. you don’t do that constantly throughout the build up to the meeting, and throughout the entire meeting do you? You’ll have moments where riders will be sitting alone in their pit chairs while their mechanics go to work. What are they supposed to do in those quiet moments? Sit and stare in to space? Some riders like to have a look on their phone to help them relax and relieve a bit of pressure. I don’t see the big issue. If they were doing it instead of joining in a team meeting then fair enough but I don’t think that was the case was it. Let’s be honest, your manager just had the hump because the meeting didn’t start the way he’d like. But it was still very early when he had his little rant and it was ill advised IMO. Quite possibly ruined any good positive atmosphere they had.

There has always been a gulf between top end and bottom end riders - just look back at averages over the years. There was a time when the top league was packed full of riders who averaged 9 or 10 per meeting, and there were riders at reserve on 3 or 4. Nothing has really changed, except that league matches are on TV for all to see ...

Anyone seen word on Adam’s condition yet today? hope he’s not too badly hurt 🤞

Rememb Remember NOT to take it on Thursday! 📯😂

Remember NOT to take it on Thursday 📯😂

Having watched more or less every senior meeting at Leicester since its reopening I can't ever recall seeing a dive bomb into turn 3 ever being tried, let alone working, like I said turn 1 is for that move and you see it quite often, especially from Chris Harris

Riders include Cooper Rushen, Vinnie Foord, Will Cairns, Luke Harrison, Ben Trigger and Ace Pijper plus many more exciting young riders. Also after the U19 final there is the British Youth Championships 250 cc and 125 cc classes. Gates open 11:30 am, cash only . Adults £17.00 This should be a very competitive event with some of the UKs finest talent on show, get down to the GT Tyres Arena and support the stars of the future.

Too right there. Mine only came to life after heat 15

I think that is correct although personally I dont think the 8 day rule should apply to the home team. A home rider is there every week but a guest can only be used if there is more than a 8 day gap.

Certainly was! Hope for a big crowd Thursday!!! No faulty air horns before heat1

It may well happen everywhere these days, but in any business if your performance is poor and you're seen to be sat on your phone instead of working you'll get very short shrift from most managers!

Yes, Poole get all the breaks

No faulty witches flags and scarfs waving though! More of the same Thursday, more flags, more scarfs! It’s nice to have some waving and create an atmosphere !

So I am right in saying Bears can't use Allen on Friday or Sunday due to 8 day rule and/or working on Sunday. Nor Scott on Friday due to concussion?? Am I? Surely Zischke the option for Friday....?

I’m not sure that was the smartest thing to do in all honesty. Publicly having a pop at your riders on live TV isn’t going to have a great impact on team spirit IMO. More likely to have pis sed them off. I’m not convinced that doesn’t happen in every pits either. We only knew about it because Dickson told us. Wouldn’t mind betting that a few on the other side of the pits were doing exactly the same. He can be a bit over dramatic for me your manager.

They’re split second decisions though for a rider. He had his wheels in line and opened the throttle and was making a pass. Stick or twist? Keep it pinned and make a pass in a grand final, or shut off and lose the opportunity. To be fair track was a little tricky early doors, quite deep and heavy. Had that been later in the meeting when it dried and slickened off a bit more, he could have made that move stick. Certainly don’t blame the boy for giving it a go.

There was a lot of faulty air horns last night 😂😂

I thought it was Basso lined up to replace Riss?

Tbf to Leicester, it’s not likely to be a great atmosphere when it’s the away team doing all the overtaking.
