dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,710 Posted September 18, 2016 Barker was abysmal when at Brough riding for my team back in May ,he seems more suited to riding for Ipswichhopefully he has learnt some lessons from the mistakes he made and has started to put things right.Would be best for him and any team he rides for in the future if he has.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsunami 10,219 Posted September 18, 2016 hopefully he has learnt some lessons from the mistakes he made and has started to put things right. Would be best for him and any team he rides for in the future if he has.... He seems to have got over his problems and his average must be getting back to where it was. Glasgow was something personal and in his past now. Anybody travelling today, the weather is glorious with sun out all day, warm, no wind and no threat of rain. Great meeting in expectation with two top sides in form. Why not stay behind and watch the Gems juniors taking on the all powerful Dukes from Halifax. Should be a great night of speedway. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted September 18, 2016 Newcastle by thirty plus, should be anyway unless the diamonds are not as strong as I think they are at home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Irving 393 Posted September 18, 2016 R/R for Sargeant. Good job this is a meaningless fixture as its all gone a bit Pete Tong for the Witches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,710 Posted September 18, 2016 Better to get it out of the system and rest up for Thursday. Shame for the Newcastle fans as much as anything. Hope they still get an entertaining match to watch. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Super Blue 616 Posted September 18, 2016 Not sure it's even worth checking the scores on updates as it won't mean a thing . It's just a case of how big the battering is , four riders are never going to win a meeting , no disrespect to the two reserve guests . Let's hope as near to full strength as possible is back on Thursday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk127 1,363 Posted September 18, 2016 I feel sorry for the Newcastle fans who pay good money and you have the witches turn up with half a team. What is it with management and riders who that think they can treat the paying public in this way. No wonder this sport and I use that word in the kindest sense, is an absolute joke and in any other field they would be hung out to dry. Speedway clearly thinks it is ok but this is where the BSPA, if it had any balls which it clearly does not, would step in and fine teams. No wonder no one takes this seriously. Years back this would not happen but now, it is two fingers to the paying public. Sad to say but the Louis clan are are doing a great disservice to Ipswich and the team that has such a great heritage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spanner47 336 Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) Hardly the promoters fault if a rider cries off with flu a few hours before the meeting. No promoter or rider is going to go the extra mile for a pointless meeting. Edited September 18, 2016 by spanner47 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sargeant was injured on Friday, Hume has broken his collarbone and Jacobs is ill. What are "The Louis clan" supposed to do? 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
