Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 5, 2016 Well count me out people, but hey you lot have fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazysue 613 Posted October 6, 2016 I might be interested in going..... The last one I went to was the first one that they did a buffet for rather than a sit down meal, it did not go well. However, think they may have sorted that now, especially with a different venue. Used to love the old end of season dinner dance at the hotel in Copdock, loads of fun to be had so it was a shame when it changed venue and style. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) You are obviously invited to our alternative party sue, although it may get a bit loud and dirty. Actually it's not an alternative, but it's a few of us getting together for some laughs. Edited October 6, 2016 by baldyman 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazysue 613 Posted October 6, 2016 Might be interested, closed season is pretty long and it's nice to have a distraction (although I tend to get booked up December/January with Aussie Champs). Probably won't if it is in central Ipswich, I hate driving in Ipswich and try to avoid it as much as I can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Super Blue 616 Posted October 6, 2016 Baldy will probably arrange it for the park bench in his garden so he sip a lemonade or two (or something else) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Super Blue 616 Posted October 7, 2016 You and graham fancy it super b? Obviously depends when it will be if you are up to it A get together sounds like a plan but alot will obviously be dependent on when, location and circumstances as I'm still unlikely to be driving for a while yet but I'll run it by Graham nevertheless. Keep me informed of the details please when you have an idea. 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.

Reviresco 708 Posted October 7, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 9, 2016 If Scott Nicholls is way past his best it does not say much for the other rider does it?. The scorer of the 7th most points in the Elite league this season and probably with guesting might be the highest point scorer in the Elite League altogether. Way past it,I think not Did you see nicholls last night at the elrc? Mainly against premier league riders, on a track he knows very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted October 15, 2016 Well its finally over and a couple of days on its sinking in. I dont think that we should let a disappointingly flat performance in the semi final over shadow a superb recovery of the season. I think its fair to say that the first few weeks of the season were poor all round. The results,the track,the entertainment and of course the atmosphere. Now it could all have spiralled into to a disasterous write off of a year with crowds down and the club at risk.(thats not just an over dramatic soundbite IMO) Instead we saw a remarkable resurgence across the board which rekindled not only the season but also the whole experience of Thursday night speedway at Foxhall. As fans we decided that whatever was happening on the track wecwould still have fun. We got together and had some fun,making noise and just doing something different. On track changes both in personell and prep saw the results stabilise and entertainment improve. They also showed the club were listening. Even then we would have settled for that and a mid table respectable finish. Few if any envisaged making a play off place. But as often is proved success breeds success and the harder you work the luckier you get. The 'massif' was born and despite some strange and puzzled looks from others in the stadium and from outside it expanded and took hold. The Presenter (top man Kevin) saw the oppotunity to build it further around the stadium joning us on the back straight and encouraging others. For the first time in 20 years (or seemed that long) we could hear the home straight! To then make the play offs really was a spectacular achievement. We may have won no trophies but I dont think its too much to say that we may have taken steps forward that are priceless in comparison to a few dented pots. 2016 has been great. Roll on 2017. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
