All Activity

In Poland? He's on a bit of a hiding to nothing in that awful Częstochowa team! He did OK is Leszno, haven't watch the Lublin meeting on a stream but it's against arguably the strongest 1-7 in the league and it would have been his home debut.

Doesn't have to be the large tracks that provide good racing,some of the smaller more technical tracks provide it too...the racing in the scunny v Poole meeting the other week was superb..as is mainly the case around the ewr.

Oh yes, Berwick are renowned for silverware and winning at all cost, with poor crowds. Haven't made a semi final or the play offs for 12 years for crying out loud. I’d argue there was more there on Saturday than what was at Ashfield, albeit down to Glasgows great away following, but if you think that crowd was bad, for a small town like Berwick, you’re very badly mistaken. Berwick Rangers attendance which I believe includes all tickets given out, and season tickets, not just people through the gate, recorded an attendance of 545 in the afternoon, and having walked through the car park, I can say there was easily 3x as many cars for the speedway, possibly 4x. The track was poor, and it may of been deliberately like you suggest, but we aren’t allowed access to it from around 1pm-5.30pm, and it was forecast to and did rain from 11-12, thankfully the rain didn’t amount to much and we were good to go, but if it had been prepared differently, and more rain arrived, we could have been in bother.

Ah it’s only at the end of the season that Kurtz didn’t try at Foxhall I’m sure he will be fine at this early stage …. You can’t really put Bewley and trying in the same sentence as Kurtz as Bewley puts 110% into very meeting Should be an absolute walk in the park for Belle Vue this one Legends like Doyle and Emil have gone to be replaced by Lawson who hates the place and Musielek who had 12 races there last season and scored 7 each time We have no Ellis who also goes well there and he is replaced by Nicholls who by his own admission can’t ride Belle Vue and is possibly worse at Belle Vue then riders like Blodorn and Cook are at Foxhall which is hard to believe Kurtz and Bewley should max out easily Cook and Blodorn go well at home as does Tate This will be the worst track for Ipswich all season to go to ….. and the same for Belle Vue at our place…. Trouble is this time we don’t have replaced riders that used to go ok at Belle Vue with riders who don’t I can see Belle Vue getting 55 minimum tonight Back at Foxhall the class of Bewley and Kurtz will keep it closer than previous meetings and we may if lucky get 48-50 at home

Easy win for the Aces

BELLE VUE: Brady Kurtz, Norick Blodorn, Peter Kildemand, Zach Cook, Dan Bewley, Tate Zischke, Will Cairns. IPSWICH: Tom Brennan, Danny King, Richard Lawson, Scott Nicholls, Tobiasz Musielak, Philip Hellstrom-Bangs, Jason Edwards.

I was thinking more about the results of their first two home meetings if the group is already decided after their two away matches this week. A cynical view I know but a couple of home wins would do them wonders. Unless of course they can get something at Lynn or Ippo this week.......

Thing is Bagpuss what does help out look like ? from a rider prospective I can't see anyone willing to ride here who's better than what they already have so can only think it will be helping out more to cover the likely trading losses.

I thought Tate looked quite good in Aus over the winter so I'd expect him to get good results in the UK this year.

Line-up 1 Stepien 2 Konieczny 3 Budniak 4 Brenski 5 Grzeszczyk 6 Kawczynski 7 Andrzejewski 8 Seniuk 9 Jaworski 10 Kaminski 11 Chatlas 12 Surowiec 13 Derek 14 Mikolajczyk 15 Luczak 16 Kzmyd 17 R 1 Rozpedek 18 R 2 Madej

Perhaps Lynn & Ipswich will 'help them out' with the two cup meetings at Brafield.

I'm sure that Connor or his family will update the world when they are ready.

Any news on connor ?

Some shocking posts about Tate and using him to have a weak pop at the club as a whole lacks class. This lad was showing bags of promise before his awful crash, a crash that saw his bike dismantled whilst he was still impaled on it. There’s a few posters on here who delight in sticking the knife in with comments like “sick note” and “turd” for riders still working through the after effects for racing injuries. It’s a special kind of scum that gets their kicks that way.

Will be keeping a close eye on Speedway Updates tonight! Drove past the other day just to get the feel of the drive - ten days to go!

Just broke a branch of Monarchs tree.🤔

Oops, I got this one the wrong way round 🤪

Harsh? Maybe, but he's had 3 matches, 12 rides and scored 3+1 where every point scored was as a result of an exclusion or faller. If he was on the pace, competing, you'd have to say yeah give him more time, but he's been a mile behind and nowhere near being competitive, I mean at Poole he was 1/4 of a lap behind after the first lap in the reserves race, and even at Plymouth he's been tailed off a long way. It would be harsh, but the best teams make tough decisions no matter how early on and while the spare points are there, we should be all over a stronger number 7 especially with this new Slovenian lad who is unlikely to produce the kind of points Tobias would have got us (at least early on). Trigger isn't pulling up trees but he'd definitely be a better option at this stage imo. We've 3 cup matches this week and assuming we don't make a change prior to those, if Spencer doesn't at least get competitive he's got to be gone before the league action starts.

I thought this was an entertaining meeting, was impressed with Luke Harrison, Nathan Ablitt and Ryan Ingram.

1st cut 😲 I'm on me 3rd one and have had the scarifier on it 😄. I could cut the grass using that mini tractor,mower does it work 🤔

As you well know there is scientific reasoning behind most things 😃 Finally getting my early spuds and onions in this week, you doing owt? , thought not 🤣 Speaking about lawnmower's. I got the old faithful out yesterday for the first cut and it wouldn't keep running for more than a few seconds 😩. I usually drain the petrol out of it following the last cut but didn't this winter . I took the air filter out to give it a wash, it was just disintegrating and wet with petrol. The old Honda 425HRB has been in the family a long time, I paid good money to get it serviced a couple of years ago, looks like they never changed the air filter though. Going to service it myself if I can get the parts so you will have to cut the centre green, it will finally be dry enough sometime this week considering the dry forecast, I'll tell Andrew your booked in 🤣

Stars by 12

That Northampton team is shocking. I read a few weeks back in the Star that they’ll need to keep an eye on performances and if need be, the other promotions may need to help them out. Well they need it already before a wheel is turned because this team is going to struggle winning a meeting at home let alone away!

Why they don’t go back to just calling it the European cup I’ll never know. Calling it the Champions League when a club finishing 5th enters it is daft.

Or, perhaps clubs abroad already know what we don’t and he’s lost whatever early promise he showed early on in his career? Was it solely the suspension that put clubs off or was it something else? We’re about to find out I guess.
