If the fixtures throughout the season were better organised, rather than having gaps of three or four weeks between fixtures, it wouldn't happen.  But it happens year after year and they never learn from it, which, for me, is total incompetence.  

***BREAKING NEWS***   All happening in the polish airports right now,   at big josh airport brennan has accidently got on the wrong Ryanair flight and is currently on his way to Sweden by accident   at at Wroclaw airport Torun owners were seen dragging emil of his Ryanair flight and forcefully bungle him into a van on route back to Torun

Ipswich were expected to win at home last week as well. Taking nothing away from Sheffield, but it was such a flat performance and none of the home riders seemed up for it which is a concern.    Been all sorts of speculation around average reduction etc etc, well I guess we’re about to find out if there was any substance behind those theories.    Doyle and Emil’s averages have tumbled this year, yet we still find ourselves two and a half points above the starting points limit!    I’m with Gavan here. There’s no excuse to be had for Ipswich this time around. Leicester are the closest in terms of combined points limit, at just a shade under a point lower than Ipswich. Everyone else significantly lower. Ipswich always were, and remain the strongest team on paper, and it’s time for them to deliver

Be interesting to see how the crowd is tomorrow night, not only running against England football team, but even closer the game taking place at Tatnam for Poole town! A number of people cross between both sports, me included as a ST holder at Poole town. Think the crowd will be poor tomorrow night, but the club had no other choice other wise it would have been late September. About time other clubs were heavily fined for not completing their fixtures or next stages in comps in a sensible time frame. Year after year we shall be heading well into October when the weather is poor and it ruins the meetings. 

Going to be a fascinating enocunter this as both teams are expected to win their home leg, the Witches last visit to the NSS proved that the Aces are vulnerable at home on occasions, as the Witches are themselves so all to play for. In my view it would be nice to have a Leceister V's Ipswich final so that at least in recent times we have a different winner to the last few years!

So here we are the first leg tonight  If we at Ipswich don’t get through to the final we have choked …. We got the skid final we wanted against a team we have dominated over 2 legs all season  Play offs can throw up shocks and this could be won or lost tonight  Kurtz and Bewley can get the maximum 28 points in this … Bewley gets better as the night goes on and the track line goes right to the fence…. Kurtz although with his mind elsewhere, will score heavy no doubt  For me tonight is all about Lidsey and Cook… if these 2 can add 16 points minimum then Ipswich are in trouble  We need to keep this to 14 as we have dominated them at Foxhall and the fact they can’t use Bewley or Kurtz as a tac sub is a help  At Foxhall the most the top 2 have scored combined is 18 and with Kurtz having the last GP 2 days after I can’t see him taking any risks … if he makes the gate he won’t be caught but if he doesn’t he might not take a risk  Hoping for 14 or less defeat tonight … anymore an I think it’s to much
