I watched this meeting on the stream. Watching Drew trailing in last or worse, seeing him pull up at the back, was doubly galling as we were treated to replays of races from the BV match 7 days earlier. These included Drew blasting round the outside, scoring 6+2 including a victory over Brady Kurtz. The man is a mystery.

I’m pleased for the management at Ipswich that they’ll have the first leg at home because that will ensure a much better crowd than a second leg with very little hope of progression after a probable thumping at the NSS. That isn’t be defeatist, just realistic. It’s been a trying first season for them due to the lateness of the takeover so a chance to swell the coffers a little is welcome.

That's great. It also explains why everyone thinks that BV are going to win the play offs. They put 3 riders out in each race!

Excuse my ignorance, but what's the SVEMO tyre deal?

That @SteveArena pops up on various threads sticking the boot in on Richard Coleman. He has a bit of an unhealthy obsession with the bloke for some strange reason.
