Not sure if he has as he rode for Edinburgh in 2008 when Ipswich were still in top league

Yes I know, but hasn't the foxhole track been re-shaped since then? I don't think I dreamt it as I never dream of such things!!

Has it?? I didn't know that!

I'm not sure trying to control who makes the playoffs is a good idea. If you want to win will have to beat the best team anyway. 

Unless you're Swindon. :D

Probably different everything, different shape, size, type of dirt, bikes would also be different with exhaust regs and stuff like that. It's the same as starting from scratch

Yes but you don't want to play the strongest team in the semi leave the tough one to the final, so you try to finish top, pick the weakest team and let the other two fight it out and you never know the strongest might get knocked out.

Ha, so no excuses then! ;) Definite favourites for sure, but Wolves are a danger. Be interesting to see how they do at Poole on Sept 5th.

Strongest for a reason though! ;) I don't ever remember the strongest getting knocked out before? And if they do, surely the team who knocked them out is stronger anyway cos they beat them!!?

Did you really say that Sarjeant could beat Wells? That is some leap of faith.

He’s got to get past the tapes first. 

It is not getting past the tapes that is a problem for Sarjeant. It is going under them rather than over them that is his problem.

Not always the weaker could have got lucky.

Finishing top particularly this year is key because one of Ippo or Aces look vulnerable. The other semi should indeed be one tough encounter.

Which is why you need to finish top, then Wolves knock out Swindon! In my opinion Wolves are the only team who could beat Swindon.

Then it’s unlikely we will get anything out of this.
