I’ve pulled you up on this before and it’s been a while since you’ve regurgitated this nonsense. Right from the start of the season you seemed to take offence at every man and his dog tipping Ipswich to win comfortably and you wrongly labelled Ipswich supporters on here “arrogant”. You haven’t specifically said Ipswich fans this time in your post, but it’s obvious who you meant.    The Ipswich supporters actually were the ones who were much more reserved about their chances because of the way they’ve been burned the past couple of years, it was supporters of other clubs that basically wrote the season off as Ipswich were going to clean house.    When you argued against this, I asked you to quote these “arrogant Ipswich fans” posts, and surprise surprise you disappeared because said posts didn’t exist.    Others joined you in sticking the boot in and it all became a bit bizarre. The usual suspects from Belle Vue joined the party, as did one or two of your fellow Leicester supporters, and unsurprisingly, one vociferous King’s Lynn supporter. None of them could back up the cr@p they were coming out with by actually pulling up the quotes they were all whinging about. The only ones that didn’t seem to pile in were anyone from Sheffield so for that reason, if Ipswich don’t manage to pull it off, I hope they do.    One poster, @szkocjasid , was the one who asked the question, “can they win every meeting” after Ipswich were blowing everyone away early doors. He didn’t say they would to be fair to him, but he asked the question.    I personally hope Ipswich win this and I hope others who don’t have a horse in the race do too. I’ve an awful lot of respect for the way Chris Louis runs his club. A proper speedway man and as it turns out, a very good and professional business man too. If others in the sport ran their clubs as professionally as Louis does his, we wouldn’t be in half the bloody mess we currently find ourselves in. 

He'll be at Poole that's obvious   

They surely won't/can't stick to 40 if there are a different number of league teams? Also I can't see Fraser Bowes at Worky next season!!?

This. They’re clearly concerned the engine room could be vulnerable with Dan there, so have put our strongest rider available in there with him to counter that a bit. Not sure it’ll matter too much here though, Doyle hasn’t been good at the NSS for quite a while now.

Definitely has that feel of “we’re going to get battered here” doesn’t it. Only area of the team we SHOULD have the upper hand is reserve and that simply MUST happen because we’ll be second best everywhere else. Ellis needs to step up here big time and needs to do better down there than he did on Thursday.    Hope I’m wrong but I’m with you on the score, 16-20. That performance Thursday was an absolute stinker and all the confidence I had has drained away because of that one result. Dan concerns me in the engine room of the side also.

Really tough to call this one over two legs. Ipswich have been so flaky recently, don't know why but they just seem to not click. Belle Vue again can be flaky, inconsistent and away from have been poor at times but at least Belle Vue have been here and done this before. They have got good experience and at home they can be deadly when it's all clicking.  Going for a 52-38 home win..
