51-39 home win, Ipswich reserves will outscore Sheffield reserves by at least 6 points, we know both Holder’s aren’t keen on Foxhall, Pickering and Howarth very hit and miss around here also, Woffinden the only Sheffield rider to hit double digits.

Hopefully Morris and co get hold of this early doors and set a standard, ridiculous call off, Sheffield should be awarded the away win, home season ticket holders given free meeting I.e KO Cup, the penalty for Buster being one less meetings income might make him not try cheat the system again

If the track is grippy then that won’t favour Tobiasz as well as both Holders, both he and Jack always wanted Owlerton on the slick side like the Polish tracks. Woffinden can usually ride most surfaces thrown at him and Pickering g and Howarth don’t mind it deep. Can only see Sheffield continuing their winning streak against Kings Lynn but maybe not as comprehensive as the 2023 scores

Hopefully Kyle Howarth not feeling two second hand today after his awkward off last night, he counted them and we’re still there but imagine he’ll be sore today

Did the Gladiators manage to get a practice in this week? Be interesting how the track holds up with all the dodgy weather whilst the changes were being completed

Weather for this one keeps changing, gone from a dry day to showers late afternoon onwards, hopefully it survives this time around! Most probably the best time to visit Owlerton as an away team with the Sheffield team not having a lap around there to date in 2024 (Howarth, C Holder, Pickering & Edwards last rode in early October, Woffinden & Gilkes mid August, J Holder mid July) so might take a few races to get set ups dialled in. Think Sheffield will still have the upper hand even if there are some riders in the Kings Lynn side that can go well around Owlerton , we all know how good Tobi is first hand! Sheffield to win 50-40

The Doyle/Sayfutdinov show will bring it home for Ipswich, 48-42 with it being decided in the last race

Narrow home win for Leicester 46-44

According to Sportowefakty NKI had an off in Denmark, they are reporting a concussion, but not sure if that’s been confirmed as will be out for set period if so, well in UK anyway they let them ride in Poland

Yes the promotion we’re aware of the football clash

Think they are running on Tues even if clashes with football to get some funds into the club, could get to end of April and ridden away 6 times and only 2 at home if no other rain offs before end of the month

I attended yesterday and even thought it took an age to get the announcement out that the meeting was off it was the correct decision, especially as it started to shower with rain again that point. I’m just hoping that Scunthorpe honour their admission ticket, as popped into the pits from bend 4 entrance when that was opened by the club to speak to a couple of friends who were due to ride and mechanic and left via the pit exit/entry without getting ticket stamped, if not that’s the last £20 that will leave my wallet and go into Scunny’s coffers

Do they need more time to prep the track for stock cars than they do for speedway and with dogs being on 6 days a week they just can’t do it in time for Monday? Forecast looks to be improving with only showers now around mid day on Weds and Thurs and not the usual 95% probability!!

If this one beats the weather I’ll hopefully be off to this one, can only see an away win for Sheffield, unlike the Oxford visit all the Sheffield riders have prior experience of Perry Barr, even though Birmingham should have upper hand at reserve the top 5 of Sheffield should see them through, so going for a 40-50 away win

Belle Vue fallen lucky with no Doyle for Ipswich (no disrespect to Scott Nicholls) for their visit to Foxhall, they can’t be as bad as their last visit there, can see this now being very close with a 2 point win for Belle Vue
