As with Mikkelsen and Ljung (plus another whose name is dont recall) at Leicester ten years ago, the promotion talked complete batrubbish and as is often the case, people believed it!

Saw him on TV in the crowd at the GP Qualifier at Glasgow.

Decent signing for the Aces and good to see Doyle back in British speedway.

Is the encampment still there?

I get what you are saying and Ipswich is a gaters track and not a great track I agree … let’s be fair Kurtz is a great gater probably the worlds best … he didn’t make one start that night and showed absolutely no desire to try and mix it from third or fourth …. Not that our track lends itself to good racing I thought it was a poor effort … like you say maybe an off night but I honestly think he didn’t try that hard… i understand why I’m not that foolish but there are other riders (your own Bewley being one of them) who would have still tried maybe to no avail As I said id like to see Kurtz win the title

All depends on how riders like Blodorn Cook and Tate do away from home As much as I’m happy to see Doyle over here it definitely makes Belle Vue weaker than it did with Bewley so I don’t see why all of a sudden they are favourites Sheffield or Leicester for me

Fair point well made. Though I disagree with your point that he didn’t try at all for his club. Call me naive but I wouldn’t imagine any professional sportsman would have it in them to not try at the very least. Because with that mentality, they’d never make it to be a professional sportsman in the first place. Maybe the night in question that you’re referring to was an off night. Everybody has them now and again.

I’m absolutely delighted Doyle is back in British speedway we need the big names ….. and let’s be fair it could have been much worse…. He could have gone to Sheffield which would be unforgivable lol Ipswich fans who are angry are just fools who have no idea about the sport …. All the uncertainty over the winter meant Doyle did what’s right for him ….. am I angry …. No… would I have liked him at Ipswich …. Absolutely

You have this weird fascination about me disliking Kurtz I guess reading isn’t your strong point because I said last season and this season that I wanted Kurtz to win the world title But I stand by the fact he let Belle Vue down in the play offs last season…. Yes he has a world championship to go for but he didn’t try at all for his club … something Bewley wouldn’t do and neither the new signing Doyle I also mentioned his poor score at Sheffield this season as a pointer to the fact he has to step up a bit more this season now there is no Bewley … he has to get 12 or 13 most weeks minimum If you feel that those opinions mean I dislike him then you can run with that to suit your agenda If he is leading the world championship or in with a shout around the play offs and he still bangs in big scores then fair play …

Any news on the comets line up ?

Why oh why do you continue to watch Poole meetings then? Your brain must be well addled! Its a shame you do the sport no favours at all by continually criticising......! Poole have won a fair number (not all) of their away meetings in recent seasons as well as home meetings - sometimes by big scores, sometimes by Superheats, often by gate-and-go .........

I’ve watched speedway for over 50 years and in my honest opinion the bikes have become too powerful for the tracks. Once these riders hit the dirt line they are gone, as was depicted at the recent GP in Manchester. On the first night Frick gated and was gone with each rider subsequently following his line. I thought the second night produced better racing, but over the years I’ve witnessed riders going wider and wider only inches from the fence. I don’t have any immediate answers but unfortunately engine progress is ultimately defining the sport we enjoy. I never thought I’d see the day when a speedway rider would have a laptop plugged into his bike!

Dont recall Sam Masters doing overly well at his previous appearances at northside. Dayle wood should win heat 2 as he can gate and stick it to inside line. Expect a lot of 0s and 1s after that though. My concerns are McDiarmid and Kennett. Both are racers and as the meeting develops they'll love the outside line. Should be close but expecting a comets win if Cookie shows up. If not, depends on the guest.

hoping for good weather next week for our trip over..🤞

Hopefully Klindt is ok to race and shows what he is capable of on Friday and Saturday. Needs support from the rest of the boys , a close tie anticpated.

think hes dropped sweden

No club should have a blank week, the fixtures should either state the opponent or state the date as reserved rain off, if there is no meetings to catch up on then there is no meeting, if any home meeting has been called off, they will use the first available reserved rain off date. Further to that, if any club has not completed all its home matches at the cut off date, those meetings are automatically awarded to the away teams.

BV nailed on now to be Premiership champions.

After a disappointing but expected thumping down at Poole the Monarchs return home for a much more competitive looking match against Scunthorpe. Nick Morris guests for injured captain Paco, and Scunthorpe have Dayle Wood guesting at reserve and R/R for Dan Gilkes. Much interest will be on Picko's return for the first time as an opponent and MPT's return after being a Monarch last season. A narrow home win for me.

Just call me mystic Meg. If anyone needs any other predictions for the rest of the season I take bank transfer, PayPal and cash in hand 😂

I don't think this has been discussed anywhere else on this forum but in terms of Dan Bewley's injuries, does anyone think there's a chance of him competing for GB at the end of August? If there's any outside chance that would be fab news and would certainly boost our chances immeasurably.

I really don't think Mayfield are in this to win trophies, They've basically only bought the Club to save the League from total collapse imo. Failure to sign Jonas Jeppesen when presented the chance only to scramble around for Ed Kennett before reverting back to Hellstrom-Bangs. Failure to re-sign Jason Doyle in a Double Change is just another piece of Mayfield failure imo. Ipswich Speedway 2026 -> Paul Hurry's jobs for the boys with Mayfield not acting in the best interests of the supporters.

He posted on his Facebook that he was enjoying the SGP at Manchester.... from "his hoose", last weekend !!

"short term" 🤔
