Need to hit a minimum of 40 to have a chance of getting to the final, however I think realistically we will probably score about 34/35.

Agreed that was the big risk would anyone go after novelty wore off, thankfully it seems a good core supporters base is there, the track if they can get more time on it seems potentially able to provide good racing and stadium seems decent by speedway standards. I just seem to remember Flagrag mentioning a possible Polish connection last year but as I say given he seems very close to media side of things totally get it if he's not in a position to share any inside knowledge he may have. They have to be looked on as a success this year, they were left with the scraps this season if they can get Iverson, Thomson, Harrison, Lidsey (possibly) back they could have a good core add to that in the ideal world Anders Thompson, Zach Cook and Becker they would win most home meetings. They just need a team of triers as they have been saddled with 3-4 riders this year who only fancy it 50% of the time you can carry 1-2 like that but not 4.

Who's driving the tv push Flagrag is it the Ipswich head man or is Harry actually doing something ?

I was thinking the exact same thing. I'm a realist and I fully expect us to go down by a minimum of 20 Points around the NSS so having the 2nd Leg at Home would've seen a big drop in attendance imo. Having the 1st Leg at Home is a blessing financially and maybe it'll also make the SF tie a little more interesting overall.

In my professional opinion I would say viewing would have far exceeded the BARB algorithm figures and is an ex woke of fly Channels look more now  and pay for the Sky data as shows lots more. Have to remember even from the data I posted this does not include any viewers using Freeview,Virgin,EETV, ITV X or Freely there was overseas viewing so Phil Morris rough prediction is not that far out
