Yep he's probably England's best ever rider but i'm another who wish he would give it up and move onto something new he's no longer the force he was which is to be expected , but these riders have incredible grit as Woffy shows. Chris Holder is another example should have probably had 2-3 world titles but two terrible crashes and what happened to Darcy pulled him back from the absolute top level. and like Tai in the UK he can be 60% of the rider he was at his best and still beat 90% of the opposition in his sleep.

Don’t do social media at all

Belle Vue ran yesterday in 31 degree heat, starting at 12 noon. The track was being watered when we arrived and had clearly been well watered before (probably the previous day as well).   They watered every 4 heats, and were often doing a lap giving it a good top-up sprinkling after each 2 heats. The track was perfect, and the meeting was over in 2 hours despite a break when the medics had to tend to Luke Killeen. I know Buxton isn't Belle Vue's level, but with a Sunday/Monday Buxton/Belle Vue option again, I know which one I'd attend in future, and which I wouldn't rush back to.

Do you really think this is the place to post such things ?  Yes I'm aware of a post on social media, but surely that's up to Craig and Facebook, not you putting it out on here 🤔

I'm actually really happy we have a team. In reality we were never going to Emil and Jason in the same team. It's still a competitive team in my eyes and we've won 5 out of 7. I accept that we should not accept mediocrity, and certainly in the early 2000s we had some poor sides at Ipswich. However, the sport must come first and we go back to basics. The sports current administrators are playing the violins on the deck as the water level is rising and it simply cannot continue. When some of my fellow Ipswich supporters moan, just think of those who no longer have a team or track. 

I think it was Dean who summed everything up perfectly a few weeks back... "It just feels like everyone is just going through the motions"... Hence we have the same old, same old, each season, without any desire to change anything for the better.. It seems some Ipswich fans have gone from the joy of victory, to apathy in just a few short months.. Not great for a sport to engender such feelings is it?
