wealdstone 3,454 Posted October 2, 2017 As a neutral who was in the"grandstand" The lighting other than on the home straight was so poor it was difficult to see the incident. Doubt it would have made any difference to the result anyway. Again as a neutral my view on the meeting was boring, boring ,boring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CookieIpswich 249 Posted October 2, 2017 Racing wasn't actually that good to be fair so he has a point maybe boring boring as opposed to boring boring boring Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wealdstone 3,454 Posted October 2, 2017 and, prey tell, why was the meeting boring, boring,boring I am on my knees preying, I thought as did those with me it was boring as It seemed to us neither team showed any real desire to win and looked as they were merely going through the motions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moranboys 411 Posted October 2, 2017 wasn't boring from our lads point of view, would it have been double boring if in fact ipswich had won! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPEEDY69 1,260 Posted October 2, 2017 As a neutral who was in the"grandstand" The lighting other than on the home straight was so poor it was difficult to see the incident. Doubt it would have made any difference to the result anyway. Again as a neutral my view on the meeting was boring, boring ,boring. What did you expect?? Some races were strung out and there's always the issue of top boys way ahead of wobblers but the suspense and drama of the meeting kept me captivated. There was also a decent amount of close racing and passing - I especially liked the playing to the crowd in Ht 13 when Nicholls was passed and then got back by both King and Schlein turning his head to look at them on several occasions, a pantomime villain indeed. For Ipswich, Newman's crash ended it for them but Heeps was the star of the show. King was a bit one line only and should have done better, same with Schlein but hey, they were the league leaders for a reason. Wonder if CL has emerged from his counting house yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moranboys 411 Posted October 2, 2017 maybe from a racing point of view the champs weren't going to take any unnecessary risks and end up on their backsides so really it was up to the witches to make a fight of it and apart from keeps who did, you were let down quite badly especially from your number 1 and 5.fair play you gave it a shot, but even i though that it would have been a lot closer.

Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 2, 2017 Unfortunately and i really don't know why, the racing can often be a bit follow my leader at foxhall. There are some good races and some strung out ones, just compared to some tracks not enough good ones. I've also been to nearly every track and must say at some I've seen much worse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moranboys 411 Posted October 2, 2017 I found it boring others did not end of!! so,as a neutral, which team do you support?

CookieIpswich 249 Posted October 2, 2017 I think someone said weeks ago that maybe premiership racing will suit Foxhall better in terms of racing as it's only ever so slightly a higher calibre of rider in the field? For me I'd like to see it to test that theory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hooky 65 Posted October 2, 2017 To be fair, Greaves bike did hit the fence once he had gone down and done a sumersault down the straight after turning his front wheel left onto Nicholls back wheel - thus resulting in him falling off and it being his own fault, which is why he was rightfully excluded!

Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 2, 2017 To be fair greaves did hit the fence after Scott took greaves front wheel away after he flicked his back wheel into greaves when he hadn't fully passed him. Just a very miss timed attempt at intimidation by Scott nothing malicious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
