Be greedy and come twice 😁 then if/when you like it, you can return for a 3rd time against the tiggers of Glasgow 😄

Why do BSN always cut away from a crash so quickly? What's wrong with them?

that's you're entitled opinion also leaving a clear track for kurtz to try and pass doyle and sayfutinov instead of all 4 riders bunching up when it could have gone anyway ?? he obviously thought kurtz could do it on his own but kurtz was clearly down on his normal speed on the night !! we lost fair & square we move on play/offs different ball game it's who handles the pressure the best !! time will tell nothing won or lost yet !!

Ditto Chris bomber Harris

Scott is English, was brilliant for Leicester too when we had him, shame his tv commitments got in the way of him returning for us.

Would agree.

Yes he does seem to be showing a little more mettle of late. Beating the opposition RS has to be the bottom line at home, taking points off them away will be seen as a bonus. Joe does seem to be trapping quite well recently, but has the habit of being passed easily on the first lap. From what I saw of Gilkes, I was impressed. With taking time to recover from his injury, he will hopefully pick up from where he left off next season. I’d love to see him in Lions colours next year.

Would have normally but AFCB v Real Sociadad at 5.15 KO. You got a new name? What was your old name on here?

I think the problem is that the machinery has outgrown the tracks so I agree with your comments. I don’t know what Plymouth is like but if you have a rider like Scott on your books he will dial in to conditions and be a joy to watch. Even at his age his commitment is top drawer and any team/supporter will find him the ultimate professional. When and where possible I would go to any meeting where Scot is riding because he will always give 110%. I was lucky enough to to see him ride for Ipswich and in my eyes he has always been a class act.

You say the sport has evolved but some tracks have been around for years and some are new Foxhall has been Ipswich’s home for decades so please enlighten me how they can make it into a better track they can only work with what they have How long have we had Belle Vue , Glasgow and Workington tracks? Answer is not long they have all been purpose built and to a good standard Some of these great fast tracks have closed like Peterborough and Bradford Kings Lynn and Poole used to be good tracks but it shows you how the sport has declined as those clubs dont give a damn about their tracks , Poole in particular Ipswich each winter have made track changes and we have seen better racing then previous years….. tonight it’s the track prep that’s the issue

And why not other teams are doing it

I would not believe all you see, some riders are on average reducing duty.

Hardly any riders team ride these days But when your team needs a 2nd and 3rd to win a match do you not think it’s a tad foolish to just race off into the distance? You are allowed to criticise your own team when they mess up … the riders make mistakes all the time and Bewley absolutely did

Not for me this take.. as the sport has evolved the tracks have not. If you watch racing at Belle Vue, Glasgow or Workington it is like watching a different sport to this absolute tripe on display. Riders are flat out pushing the bikes to their limit and have room for slight error with more room. Tracks like Ipswich, Poole and Edinburgh the riders are hunched over the the bikes trickling round like amateurs just happy to get 4 laps in. The only slight exception to this for me is Plymouth but that is more of a novelty because of how small it is. But these narrow tight tracks are holding the sport back.

Blimey,, just looked on updates expecting to see the Witches atleast 20 or so up,,,dear oh dear

🎣🎣 unless you are a rider no one knows what riders do on track we can all have go but basically we don't know why ? do you think Bewley or Doyle give a dam what all the keyboard warriors say !! we all know the answer to that !! so you say one look back i say none in 4 laps of a race super team riding that he was clearly 20meters in front all the way !!

The criticism of the track may well be valid but some level of criticism must lay with the riders who on today’s machine can rarely adapt to different track conditions and it makes the racing boring because of the set up and the general lack of rider skills with most on gate and go bikes but little track craft. Give the riders four track spares and ask them to race and then you will separate the men from the boys. Until you have an affordable level playing field races will be strung out because riders have simply lost the art/skill of riding to the conditions rather than the set ups.

As the great philosopher and wordsmith Kelvin Tatum would say. This Ipswich track is working overtime to be the worst in the country tonight. No doubt about that.

5.1.8 Track Preparation Equipment As detailed on the Homologation Certificate, must be available in working order. Vehicles must be fitted with rotating flashing hazard warning lights. Well, it's fitted but not switched on 🚨

Poole is the worst track in the country that’s not up for debate But tonight our track is awful the guys are not happy

Now that it’s a bit doom and gloom around here, being ever the optimist, I’m really enjoying watching PK around Shielfield. He has a style that’s almost unique. Sometimes he doesn’t look like he is even on the bike. Any wider and he would be riding the air fence. I really hope he continues in uk speedway. I’ve not seen much of him in the premiership but I have been following his results and he really does seem like a solid asset to any team.

Hahahaha Well you win the award for the most stupid comment of the evening Doyle looked back on the back straight saw Ellis in second Bewley needed to help his team mate to win the match!! Nice try trying to compare the two but totally different scenarios Oh and many Belle Vue fans criticised Bewley as well

He did his job by blocking Kildemand in the first turn and Ellis cutting back under into second

Or the riders could admit that the actually problem is the engines used in modern speedway but that will never happen

sums up the track when your number 1 is concerned 🫣
