Bangs rumoured to not return, Kennett signed, Kennett released, Mulford booked to guest, Bangs returns. WTF is going on behind the scenes?

Geoff.....John has been quite unwell now for some time. He communicates via social media quite often with Richie if you want to know more, but I dont think he ever gets to Northside nowadays. So sad.

No problem - I have only seen him ride in the v Kings Lynn match in Witchestv let’s hope he comes back and scores a hatful - he might have been under stress etc and that’s why we maybe haven’t seen the best of him.

It's a nice warm dry evening here in King's Lynn, looks like it could be another meeting we could have got out of the way.

Well done Kings Lynn for the early call, torrential rain due very soon.

Great news, but just makes the sport look even more farcical than it already does!

Will need a guest from now on I think until Bowes returns

I feel sorry for PHB in all honesty. He is a young lad who really wanted a chance to ride in Britain and he has come into a make shift team, if he came in with the actual witches or majority from last season he would have felt different and been given a massive helping hand on setups etc. Mayfield built this team to basically see the season out and if we can, get into the play offs great, if not then we tried, basically. So then stick by your decision and give the young man his chance, Ipswich fans have no expectation this season so now is a perfect time for him to learn with little to no care from most fans anyway. That’s my take on it.

All I know is if we don’t have a new signing for our next home meeting then this rain off has been really strange 🤷🏻‍♂️

Indeed so. Did the Eagles struggle on the road?

Cooper's cma is now 6.71 according to bspl stats, suggests he will probably ride at 4. While r/r for Fraser continues, his rides can only now be taken by Kyle, Will and Cooper. Meanwhile Cairns needs 3 more qualifying meetings to get his new average, so could also possibly be in the 1 to 5 for July!

I hope you’re right. Dead baggage.

It’s his age you see. Bedtime at 10.30

Wednesday’s Group 1 opener in Wroclaw is postponed and will now be run on Thursday June 11th.

Well this is all getting a bit bizarre! I, and a few others were wrong it seems. Bangs now back for the Sheffield meeting on Thursday https://ipswichwitches.co/hellstrom-bangs-back-for-sheffield-showdown/

I first went to Arlington in 1976, aged 10, went to a few meetings each season until 1981 and then I was hooked. Gordon Kennett, Kelly moran, what a top two and then next season we added Ron Preston and still didn't win anything!!

Off topic perhaps but i havent seen john walsh at northside in a while anyone know how he is doing,always think of him as the voice of derwent park .

Some brilliant names in that list halcyon days for sure sadly missed.

Oh I thought he was talking about himself!

Wonder if he would be willing to double up to give his confidence a boost

Can anyone tell me if there was a programme produced for this event? If there was and you have spare I would love to buy it from you. Thanks

Think your spot on he builds team's to win at home and losses to be paired to the bone as much as possible its a shame the team's not doing better especially with the two young lads going well at reserve, Paco a weak link but who do you get in ? but if the other four all clicked to back up the young boys they would surprise a few of the other teams. Any idea how things are with sponsorship these days bald bloke I stopped going early 90's but wasn't there a fella called Roger Warne's who pumped a lot of money into the club is he still involved in any way ?

Any sign of the pit gate in the biblical floods ?
