I think he was being facetious to make a point, I fully understand people make comment without facts or evidence - Ipswich in my view is wider than Sheffield, but i could be wrong. However I have been going to Sheffield off and on since 1998 and I don't ever really recall shale piled up by the fence but maybe I haven't been concentrating - wether that made the accident worse or not I can't say! We should all just be glad Emil wasnt seriously injured!

Oh that'll be popular with some!😅

Depends I suppose if you were there! For the record he locked up on the 1st 2nd bend on lap 2 - maybe hit a rut I am not sure, or simply rider error. Rew did a similar fall there in heat 4

Thanks - glad his shoulder and or wrist seem good then! He was down for a while and you feared the worst when he withdrew. Hopefully he will be back and fully able to race in 09 days then

Being honest it cost them as Kemp was pretty ineffective if they reach the playoff final then there reserves may well cost them!

Disaster for the Witches but a very good night for the Lions. I think we can safely say that the Witches chances are now probably over. I hope Adam is back for Monday but at the moment their three best riders at Foxhall are injured.

oh has the 75% of fixtures or whatever that ruling is been passed now!

I am hoping they have a replacement plan for Jason and praying that Emil is back - I am reminded that TM supposidly asked for a team place for 2024 before ending up at KL for a while - maybe he might be a good play off signing. Am looking forward to Foxhall ion Thursday regardless my first meeting for a while!

thanks been away in France and not really kept up top date with things

any update on Jason too? I know he is out for this year but be nice to hear of any progress.

Gonna stick my neck out and say could be a very narrow home win! No pressure on the Witches for this one if they lose no one will blame them, If Scott rides like we know he can then he could get a hatfull. Adam and Danny need to be really on it as well. I expect Keynan and Jordan to outscore their counterparts. Track will be very dry and dusty so factor in the gating!

In the end a much better match than expected - KL had a good go ultimately not strong enough and last 3 heats saw the Aces run away with it a bit which belies the effort the Stars made - Hope you enjoyed it!

If you are going to deploy the 'not fit for british tracks line' then best its not used on the NSS as its possibly the most Polish of tracks out there! Can't see an anything other than a big home win here which means as a neutral I may just watch the highlights after. But lets hope its a cracker! Maybe KL have the advantage at reserve!

BSN have just posted the full race on facebook, the crash is horrific and the place goes silent! You can watch it I feel now knowing Emil is OK!

The main thing is he is ok!

Danny’s was bend 2 - there is a cracking video on you tube of Lee Complin riding the same line a few years back - someone’s testimonial I think - don’t think the dirt line was piled up against the fence like it was last night. found it it was Garry Stead’s benefit

I had this discussion on here before I even suggested could they widen the track as the football pitch no longer is used it was suggested it wasn’t an option -

Huge relief to see Emil is ok - could have been so much worse!

Best wishes for Emil - hope he is ok nasty horrible crash feel for Harris too as not much he could have done there!

I don't feel the Witches will repeat their win from earlier but it might well be close - should be good and I plan to be there anyway.

Leicester hitting form at the right time it seems - If KL could have sorted themselves out earlier they might have had a chance of that final playoff spot as it is no chance now!

Agent Ellis you can return to Foxhall - mission accomplished!

I'd take him anyday - he asked for a place at the end of last season but with Doyle and Emil in the plan there was no way he could be brought in but he could now for sure! isn't he tied to Kings Lynn although not in their side for now? I havent kept up to date with all the rider movements of late! Good result for Leicester as previously said they havent been riding to the level we know their riders can but tonight they took full advantage and secured a bigger win than I expected for sure. Witches were bound to lose there at some point!

He was badly injured at Hackney (90 ithink badly broken leg ) took a season to recover and then switched to Arena in 1991 when we won the div 2 and got prompted under Terry Russell - where he had a fairly reasonable few seasons but he never was the same rider sadly! Still good and was a much liked / valued rider at Arena. All seems so long ago, Andy Silver me fabulous rider and my first speedway hero! By my reckoning both retired in the early -mid 90s so outside the scope - apologies but good memories anyway!

Key rider will be Kurtz - he's usually pretty decent at Foxhall. Will be watching on Discovery+ where is will most certainly on. Id expect a home win but by a fair bit less than the defeat at NSS for the Witches!
