Next Wednesday, home to Poole

Sounds like a great night to be a Gladiators fan, strong result and good luck with finding a sound replacement for Tobias. 

Rushen has been good for Poole but he will struggle against the more experienced Edwards and the track should suit PHB in my opinion. Obviously Ipswich have a weakness in the heat leader department so they need to score heavily elsewhere to compensate. Nicholls seems to have started the season on the back foot for some reason, maybe his age catching up with him I dont know. Overall I would expect a narrow home win,Fricke was in 4 of the last 5 races at Ipswich which made a big difference.  

You would think an air fence thats 100 percent fixed down with no movement in it would see riders bouncing back into the track way more than they do now. It would be interesting to see if the number of injuries have decreased or increased since introducing air fences as well.

Very fair and objective assessment of last night's meeting  thank you.

A lot will depend on what Musielak turns up. The one who scored 17 on his first visit here last year, or the one who scored 2 on his second! That just about sums his last couple of years up over here. Wildly inconsistent.
