    No beef bakdyman, just a nasty taste in the mouth that I just can't wash out.

     

    Maybe I should try one of your lady's delightful cakes lol

     

    EDIT: I can't be bothered either but if I get some time I think I remember where the derogatory comments were

    Will be there for the start of the season yes and thought this was an Open forum with PMs for private conversations. That's "Private" as in in confidence and not to be shared, lol

     

    Anyway, I was simply seeking clarification about which rider had gone already. Didn't realize you were talking about a Massif member as this is the Ipswich 2017 Thread and not the BSF Massif thread.

    This has all turned out rather unsavoury with people even stooping to accusing others of being homophobic on an Open Forum.

     

    It is a shame that some people can't take their obvious dislike of other BSF members off of the Forum and on to the PM system.

     

    Personally, I will not respond directly to any of the garbage that is being written on here and, IMO, it is about time some Members are reminded about the Forum rules, cease bullying - which is not clever or acceptable and, maybe, had a look at themselves in a mirror and grew up a bit.

     

    Jealousy is an awful thing and can warp people's minds and opinions.

     

    The is a Speedway Forum. Again, maybe some Members should be reminded of that.

     

    I have met some brilliant people involved in this sport since 1969 and, again, this season, some of the people I have met at Foxhall, Hoddesdon, Perry Bar, Central Park, Owlerton, Smallbrook, West Row, The Abbey and other tracks I have visited have been brilliant company and a credit to themselves and the sport, and I am pleased to count some of them as real friends.

     

    Yours in speedway.

    This was a terrific contest. The meeting had everything. Very hard racing, good crowd (although surprisingly only a handful of Ipswich fans), a well prepared racing circuit with several lines, and a some pit gate handbags at dawn!

     

    The Witches were good value with King, Risager, Barker and to a lesser extent Covatti always have n the mix.

     

    Some tremendous races notably a hair raising scraping the boards clash between Covatti and Wright with the Argentinian the eventual winner. He showed incredible courage to come back hard at Wright and simply never gave an inch.

     

    The races between Tungate and King were superb. In heat 15, Tungate whilst leading, clipped the back straight fence which reared him in a straight line at speed heading for the 3rd bend fence and probably certain injury. He somehow managed to control his machine narrowly missing the 4th bend fence, and all this whilst still under pressure from the British Champion, he corrected himself and held on for the win.

     

    Jake Allen was most impressive and arguably should have been out in heat 15. He showed real speed all evening and was gating as fast as I've seen him. What an inspired signing he has been.

     

    The altercation at the pit gate was because the Somerset skipper complained bitterly to Barker about 'turning left' on him during heat 15. It resulted in a brief scuffle, and unlike the UKIP equivalent, no punches were thrown!

     

    Barker is always the pantomime villain at the OTA. He even gave an interview in the bar afterwards in front of a packed clubhouse and before a partisan Somerset gathering. When asked about the reception he gets, he stated, "I couldn't care less".

     

    Thick skinned is Mr Barker....

     

    This tie is not over, and the Rebels will need to be at the top of their game for the second leg at Foxhall.

     

    I disagree that there were only a handful of Witches fans as they lined a section of the fence along the top of the back straight, but, yes, the Witches support away from home is generally poor, particularly as this was a PLPO Semi Final.

     

    I can't agree that Covatti was in the mix - he was awful on his first bike and slightly better on his second.Being beaten by the riders he was tonight is unacceptable and I hope he is not a Witch next season.

     

    I disagree about Tungate still being under pressure from King in Heat 15, as Danny shut off to avoid a collision with an out of control Tungate.

     

    Jake Allen's form is, shall we say, mysterious. How is he quite that fast at the OTA? Maybe there is something in the air...?

     

    Ben Barker's boot was ripped to shreds and he was lucky not to lose toes. The reaction from some Rebels fans in the bar afterwards was unacceptable, but Ben rose above it and was brilliant and, basically, shut those fans up. and there was a round of applause when he left the stage.

     

    I do agree that the tie is not over, but Covatti & Sarj must get their act together and Connor should not be considered again. He obviously flattered to deceive during the Edinburgh match but, basically he is not up to this standard. No time for sentiment now CL and RH. If Danyon, who would have scored a hat full last night, is not fit, get somebody else in - maybe JPB.

     

    I was disappointed with the OTA which is supposedly a great race track. The floodlights are so bright and the off track lighting so poor, it is almost dangerous (without rabbit holes) at this time of year.

     

    The bar staff and the prices are superb tough.

    I will be leaving shortly for the Oak Tree Arena having been very generously lent RH55's car for the journey. Thank you RH55.

     

    If I get there in time for Heat 1, I intend posting Heat details on the Massif Facebook page, but of course you should always rely (and can always rely), on the magnificent Speedway Updates site for clear, accurate and punctual updates.

    I am planning on rejoining the collective next Thursday weather and fitness permitting as it's been a while but we'll see on the night.

     

    My place, along with the mega mega phone, mapex drum, rocket balloons, fancy dress and bodhran are yours to occupy El Presidente.

     

    Not big shoes to fill either as I only have size 8's - and you know what they say about a man with small feet..... small shoes.

    I think speedway will continue but at nl level unfortunately because we have seen some superb speedway over the last few seasons on our track. Good luck in the playoffs mate i will be rooting for your boys!

     

    Not throwing your support behind the Witches then lewy, as you seem to like following that club's Threads and commenting on posts on those Threads?

     

     

    The rebs have been awsesome this season without doubt but i like glasgow and there great supporters . Might pop to the ota next season more often cos nl doesnt really appeal to me

     

    So not a "speedway" supporter then lewy, just a PL and above fan then?
