I mean Holders interview was more embarrassing than that sad rainy debacle a few yrs back at Kirkmansume lane when Hancock boarded the cheating Pirate ship. As a Lynn fan, I wanted Ippo to win. After toegate, I was on the edge of my seat, willing Ippo to win. Look at Sarg's ride on a very tricky track in the rain in HT 14. Got less skill, but bigger gonads than Holder and Kurtz put together. Shades of Holdergate at Lynn... 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sod's law says that the Ipswich leg will be held on the 17th, just like the semi final leg was held on Saturday.....when I absolutely couldn't be there. That said, any Saturday is a no no for me as that is a work night and to get a Saturday night off is almost impossible and only with several months notice, which is why the original dates worked well for me as no Saturday and away from a planned for the last year day out on the 17th.

Neutrals will have a couldn’t care less attitude about it. Wolves v Ipswich? Meh! Who wins who cares? Neutrals won’t give a flying toss. Swindon v Ipswich? Same. Other than the fans of these clubs no one else will really care. We all know with Poole in the final passions are raised sky high. There are no neutrals. And that’s the truth whether you like it or not. Poole are a poor side end of, living off past glories you mocked me months ago when i said you were the weakest out of the four team's left.Ipswich regrouped stopped there poor run of results and brought in Iversen/ Sarjeant Poole kept with Wells and brought Johansson in tells you everything.It would be best if Ford moves along but what has he got to sell???? the promotional rights and an old tractor can't see anybody else taking over anytime soon.

Cant think of many people wanting to buy it to be honest and buy what? also the track should be dug up and relaid which is not going to be a cheap exercise.Poole for me since Darcy went on loan have made loads of mistakes team wise and you have to question that side of thing's.

The cameras at Foxhall didn't do justice to the crowd, I reckon about 2500 to 3000 were there on Saturday which I think is pretty good in this day and age. The problem at Ipswich is that our stadium has about a 12000+ capacity and always looks empty, unlike many other teams that pack out 1 stand to look good on telly.
