As I’ve said on previous posts lights are simply not adequate for spectator entertainment those who disagree must be blind. Stand on 3rd bend and starts of races are so dark. No money in the sport etc but spectators need to see the sport they pay to see. Put 8 lights on the advertising boatd across start line 2 each gate front and back will make huge difference not difficult and get more lighting closer to the track….?

CO will say not enough support, and submit plans for houses instead, even if he miraculously delivers I won't be handing him any of my money after the way the Abbey has been left to rot and be surrounded by houses.

The Ippo muck up is different in that the new line up couldn't be accepted as it was over the limit and therefore in essence the previous was still in place More relevant is perhaps the RS hokey cokey with Jenkins/Foord Foord was declared but reverted on match day which seems to show it is possible up to when a meeting is ridden Next question is whether a facility is granted for Etheridge if he is still struggling by the time of his debut......

How many meetings and teams has he rode in that 4 weeks His mentor or manager is not doing him any favours He needs time great prospect but allready looks to be thinking he's a superstar Hes young and cocky Needs to develop slowly

Depends entirely on how they can cover Ben Cook I'd say. The guest system is an absolute lottery. Agree though, why would anyone give up on top four until it's mathematically impossible.

If this meeting had been last Saturday Masters would not have got a r/r ride but new averages mean he does tonight

Think their reserves will do more than ours

Race card for SGP Riga:

As we're finding out in the KO Cup!

If Masters shows his usual Shielfield form this could be close if their reserves do any thing.

Another tough looking fixture, we might struggle to get a win tonight, I hope I’m wrong

Good luck to the comets boys. Big performance needed from the 4 comets and trigger. Be hard for Morley but fair play to him. Suppose this short notice be hard to get a rider to travel all the way down to Plymouth.

As the captain of the Titanic said about the iceberg. [There was no drone at Cardiff in 2023 because it crashed in practice]

It's impossible for it to hit them

With a team built around having a strong reserve, what could possibly go wrong? 😉

Absolutely spot on with your assessment. Trouble is when you build a team do you build it thinking about riders getting injured? I don't think that you do. The Woffy injury really put us on the back foot before our season started, and mere fact that we look as though we will make the Play Offs is a bit of an achievement. As it stands I think we are looking at an Ipswich v Leicester Paly Off Final, which pains me to say for any neutrals would make a better final that had either us, Belle Vue or as a longshot Kings Lynn.

First time seeing Vilads Nagel live last night, very impressive, looked fast all night, great style to go with it too

Lets hope not then

Kubera-£100 more

Left it far too late. If it wasn't for the slow start then KL would've caused Ipswich a whole load of problems along with Leicester in the play-offs.

The Team Management obviously felt that change was needed and would improve the team. Sedgie going was something that had to happen, he was not scoring the points needed, and the fact that Leon Flint is having a cracking season has bought him more time. I checked Sedgie's figures this season, on most occasions he has ridden at reserve and on 43% of occasions he has finished last in a race. A rider of Sedgie's experience and capabilities should be doing better It was time to give someone else a chance. The Nick Morris one does worry me, nearly two years out of competitive racing, added to fact I don't rate him and I am definitely not a fan of his. Nick Morris riding in your team for me is Troy Batchelor mark 2, you always run the risk he will let you down. But changes or no changes I resigned myself sometime ago to the fact that at best we will make it to Play Off's only. I think that providing they avoid each other in Semi Finals Ipswich and Leicester will contest the final.

The worries fans had including my self pre-season regarding Sheffield's line-up unfortunately came true. One big injury to a big hitter and they were stuffed unless they struck gold with a GP rider making themselves available due to the team being too top heavy. Left throwing Darts at declining riders as well as a rider who's nowhere near race fit after a lengthy ban. Should've always been a choice between C. Holder and Woffinden for the No.5 berth with J. Holder & Pickering at No.1 & 3 respectively.
