  1. Interesting that alot on this forum myself included point to Poland as the way forward. So when we have a owner who starts to give his clubs a professional image like the Poles do he gets slated. I'm not Chapman biggest fan however I can only admire how his teams are kitted out. Louis has always had his teams well kitted out and the Ipswich website and interaction on social media over the past few years has been great. Up the witches right now the sport seems professional well in Ipswich at least.

  2. Crazy and most annoying thing is they are planning to rip up the track, spend god knows how much for Workington Red's Football who I think have been relegated to a "Sunday League" who will probably scrape in around 100 crowd (and that's optimistic) . Complete Joke

  3. Came down from Berwick and seen a cracking meeting from a neutral perspective, plenty of racing lines on a well prepared track. Polar opposite to what we are used to at Berwick. A couple of shocking refereeing decisions, but that is becoming the norm, where do they get these clowns from. Redcar are definitely playoff contenders, impressed with Wright & Stewart in particular.

  8. Not quite right, I want Buster to fail. On paper King's Lynn, Ipswich and now Peterborough are the weakest 3 teams in the league. Many people also agree with that. Do you know what makes tonight worst? Even 2nd tier Leicester managed 42 points at Ipswich

  10. I can't remember where, but I remember reading that the Poles always criticise Maciej for being too soft, and he'll never get any better for it... Have they not seen this race? Great race, hard riding, but still room and respect between both riders, and a nice little hand shake at the end... This is what speedway is about...

  11. The Lynn side that finished 6 points clear in the league, after being bottom in 2018 wasn't very very poor was it?

  13. Second Half Action No Cubs meeting tonight but a couple of exciting looking line ups for both the 500 and 125 classes. Our own Elliot Kelly will get a good tough test before his debut for Mildenhall in the National League while in the 125 class myself and Jamie will be keeping a close eye on both Liam Sharples and Will Hoceniuk. Both lads will be making their Media Prima Arena debuts with Will looking to impress and take the squad position vacated by Alex Goldsbrough. Late in - 9 year old William Cairns will be making the trip up from his Buckinghamshire base to complete the line up in the 125cc heats. We apologies for the programme changes but we had 3 changes to the 500 line up during the week. 500cc Elliot Kelly Josh Embleton Kieran Douglas Tamas Sike 125cc Callum Gill Liam Sharples Will Hoceniuk William Cairns Stay behind if you can and give the lads a bit of encouragement.

  16. All of Busters teams look professional, highlighted by the matching suits and covers. Any newcomers will expect this to be the norm but it's the oldies that maybe don't like it? Have to grow and move with the times which Buster seems to be trying to embrace. So for the time being he can only be applauded. Obviously the result from.last night helps.

  17. He has set fire to his "boats" and though they are not yet burnt below the water level he does need to be more prudent in future. Being outspoken / plain speaking is all very well if it is carefully thought out as to it's likely reception. It's not what you say but what other people hear that counts. The main point in his favour is that he can cut the mustard on track ( in the UK ) and so likely will get a PL place within a couple of months. The sponsor's logo issue was just a smokescreen and we will never know what really happened in the world of masonic-like dealings.

  19. Jealous? What would I be jealous of? Morton ended up bankrupt didnt he? Or so we were told? And lost everything? Im extremely jealous of that , haha! Morton made a right mess of it , however or whoever funded it, it certainly wasnt his money was it? And the non payment of rent , whos fault was that? What has my location being in Australia got to do with anything?

  21. An outstanding performance from all 7 Ipswich riders. All this tosh about a weak side for God's sake givem a chance before we slate people after a couple of meetings. We put the arch enemy to the sword, what more do people want.

  23. Attractive looking fixture. Hopefully the Bears will be on it and some great racing results. Looking forward to seeing how Zaine Kennedy and Drew Kemp perform but i'm going for the Bears 49-41.

  26. Let me start this off: Tommy Miller, Charlie Monk (for sure), Roy Trigg, Norman Hunter, George Hunter would reckon these guys would have graced the World Final more than some of 'em did. What say other forumlanders?

  29. They won't want the public seeing the track rutting up because it has had no chance to settle. We will get to pay £18 for that honour the following night so stay patient!

  30. You wanted all the East Anglian clubs to finish in the bottom 3 to get at Buster. So in my eyes you want them all to fail. I remember quoting you to say your beef is with Buster, but to want 3 teams to fail/finish bottom 3 is silly.

  34. I'm not sure, but I seem to remember the lighting was re-used from the football pitches that were near the club house so they may be older than that,

  35. Bears top 3 should win this for them unless Howarth can improve his current form and Proctor can sort his starts. Although Andersen and Nicol must be better than last week and Kemp, well who knows what he might do!

  38. Absolutely. Peterborough in my opinion are slightly stronger for that change. Obviously losing cook has a meant a reshuffle in riding order and that will cause them some pain. Whilst I don't think Craig is a number 1 in this league, it's a massive loss for Peterborough. To stand any chance of the play offs they need to find a decent replacement which will put lasse back at reserve. If I were them I'd also keep summers for Barker.

  39. Town are susposed to vacate Derwent park in may for a new pitch to be installed, return in June, the last ever reds match at borough park is around 22 April then reds will play at a lower level (Sunday !!) league from August at Derwent park, but shhhh nothing official yet !! Then in 2021 the new bells and whistles super douber new 8000 capacity stadium will open, but I doubt they Will get 8000 in total over a full season in there, white elephants spring to mind

  41. I am a Town fan, and a Comets fan.....yes some Town officials didn't like speedway. I worked, voluntary, for Town for many years and I've lost count how many arguments I won (lol) on behalf of the speedway. The main bone of contention from the RL side of Derwent Park hierarchy was simply how untidy the stadium looked after several loads of shale had been scattered onto the terracing by the bikes. Also anger was paramount regarding riders zooming out of the pits (on 2 min warning) and crossing the turf...it was a rule that no bikes were allowed on the grass. Another regular comment was re speedway in general.... for instance the much disliked 'guest system'....e.g. how could Stoney be allowed to ride for title rivals Newcastle, and top score, then ride for his Comets team against Diamonds?...comments were made comparing speedway to WWE...oh dear. Well I assume we all didn't/don't love the guest system, although Sean Wilson was always welcome to wear the blue and white. But other Town officials did honestly agree the financial gain for rent and bar profits did help the RL hosts through some dark days.........now Workington speedway is in urgent need of high finance.....but ?????
