Steve Irving 393 Posted April 19, 2017 Yesterday I was listening to professional speedway rider after professional speedway rider criticise the Ipswich track and I was thinking you clowns you know nothing. Arch Stanton says it looked fine from his seat and so it must have been. I wished they interviewed him as he knows everything about speedway & track preparation, not those idiot professional speedway riders."Still, the boys got a good win, Peterborough made the track look twice as tricky as it actually was and we all went home happy." And those the comments from another "professional speedway rider", the British champion no less, in his column today. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
New era Panthers 2,055 Posted April 19, 2017 "Still, the boys got a good win, Peterborough made the track look twice as tricky as it actually was and we all went home happy." And those the comments from another "professional speedway rider", the British champion no less, in his column today. So what Ipswich made Panthers look silly a week ago and the week before Sheffield made your lot look silly , it's over time to move on . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
northyorksbear 610 Posted April 20, 2017 So the track wasn't "doctored" in any way to favour home team , as there was no need to due to Panthers not being good enough to warrant such measures. That has to be the comment of the season so far! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AntiqueSteve 100 Posted April 20, 2017 I rarely miss a Ipswich v Peterborough match and certainly haven't missed many over the last few decade or two, i do like your stadium facilities and viewing but I have rarely seen good racing at foxhall in all the years I have been going. I agree somewhat that all tracks are their to be raced on and clubs should set up the tracks to suit their team but I do feel that all tracks should be prepared to encourage good racing which after all is what it's all about. Which is of course why Peterborough graded the track for heat 15 to favour the outside knowing that Ippo had 1 and 3 ....of course just to favour "good racing" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted April 20, 2017 It's not that they graded it, but got the blade out lol. Never ever seen that in 40 years of speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,264 Posted April 20, 2017 Got to laugh at the suggestion that we prepared a track specifically because we were afraid of Peterborough. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

champs99 103 Posted April 20, 2017 Which is of course why Peterborough graded the track for heat 15 to favour the outside knowing that Ippo had 1 and 3 ....of course just to favour "good racing" And then put top rider (Holder} in gate 2 when only needing a 3-3. That's that theory out the window then! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sully 274 Posted April 20, 2017 Which is of course why Peterborough graded the track for heat 15 to favour the outside knowing that Ippo had 1 and 3 ....of course just to favour "good racing" they pulled all the dirt from the outside back towards the inside to favour the outside gates? Don't quite understand your theory there? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) No. They bladed dirt from fence in a few foot, creating an outside line Edited April 20, 2017 by baldyman 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
