foreverblue 6,096 Posted September 21, 2023 So apparently Ipswich can't use Joe T because of 8 day rule despite the rules appear to state that doesn't to NDL riders! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That appears to be exactly the same preview as they issued yesterday. I wonder if they will make any comment about current track conditions/preparation etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Jacobs 554 Posted September 21, 2023 Clear and dry all morning a little way east of Foxhall, with the sun currently breaking through about 8/10 fluffy white clouds. The only black cloud at the moment is the pathetic decision to stop Ipswich from using Joe Thompson as a guest at RS! In stead of rolling over, the Witches should ride under protest.

No longer an option to ride under protest - any such disagreements have to be ironed out prior to the night. Once the meetings starts decisions of that nature are final Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a load of balderdash. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,096 Posted September 21, 2023 If a team has to use the same riders in a two legged play off then if Ben Cook had ridden at BV then would he have to ride tonight even though Blodorn is now fit. In the same way shouldn't Cook have ridden in the second leg of last years semi final. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rules seem to be made up as they go along, if it goes ahead later i can see it being damage limitation for the away leg, Harris ain't gonna score no where near what Doyle would and Jack Smith never has done bugger all at this level. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hagonshocker 1,956 Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) With that line up this going the same way as last year ...Jack Smith?....God help em Edited September 21, 2023 by hagonshocker Typo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted September 21, 2023 Belle Vue have mastered Foxhall the last couple of seasons,, and that's been with Doyle and our Dynamic duo,, without Doyle looks a tough ask for us to even be in it after tonight,,, but speedway can be a funny old game,,, maybe it will be alright on the night.
