Steve0 5,517 Posted August 26, 2019 A bad night for the Witches (after the hope following a win over the panthers) and a good one for the Robins. This is the Ipswich performance I expected at the start of the season and it looks like they are imploding. Hopefully they have something in the tank for the playoffs - assuming they make it.

Bash 496 Posted August 26, 2019 We won’t make the playoffs at this rate Poole H&A and Swindon at home we won’t win any of them riding like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racin Jason 72 1,283 Posted August 26, 2019 Sheer madness to have R/R at 5. Always put it at two and have a strong rider in heat 8. Plus if you lose a reserve you are in the deep stuff 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk127 1,359 Posted August 26, 2019 Is the manager really that clueless? Why oh why does Louis (supposedly in charge) not do what any right minded individual would do? A sad indictment of how a great name like Ipswich has plummeted in a once decent sport which unfortunately has little credibility left and partly because of one mans ambition to keep a third rate higher division going at any cost. Speedway in this country is not on the same level as most overseas nations and should by now have learnt to plough its own furrow. Each club suffers from irregular weekly speedway which affects the form of many riders (albeit double up helps but also raises the risk profile for a team) fixed race nights are a failure as far as numbers through the gate is concerned (you have the odd exception) and more often than not each meeting is a team of either six men plus Mr R/R thereby short changing the paying public or you have rider select. Little wonder even the stalwarts are walking away. Also rans is how to sum up the witches and they might just as well have a clear out now as they have little else to commend the continuation in the current league structure. Buy in an overseas rider by all means but get rid of the dead wood in the team. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
