Grippo all round then. Assuming you ever have another home meeting that is!

Strange ippo were struggling with the track so much given how grippy foxholes is. Would have thought Newman & Heeps were experienced enough to have been able to stay on the bikes in heats 14 & 8? Can appreciate all the younger / less experienced ones on both sides struggling a bit cos they don't see grip often these days. Certainly were 2 massive (!!) heats. Oh well you'll just have to thump the Weegies instead!

Such a pity that the track has been made very tricky by rain 2 weeks running. Could /should have been a showpiece. But both teams seemed to be trying to give it away with falls and engine failures. Hope Mark Riss makes a speedy recovery.

It's modern expressionist poetry!

No way! Home from Home for Roo Boy & Sedgy. In fact I think Sedgy will score better than he ever does at Foxholes.

King flies there Sedgy flies there. Heeps flies there. Roo Boy flies there. Sam flies there. Cleggy flies there. Erik flies there. Erik's big bro flies there. Rickaaaaay flies there. Joshie flies there. Mitch flies there.

We might be weaker with Cleggy back in the 1-5 compared to Joshie!!

Ask your nice Mr. Vatcher.

It was not good - but not sure it was the worst this year - I try to blot out bad memories!!

We have 4 d/up and 2 d/down BUT we have priority with all of them I think - 5 are our own assets. I think Ippo have 5 d/up and 1 d/down and one d/up who's lost his up. Dunno about priorities though.

We do tend to win (at least) 2 trophies a season in our good years so it's the same with threads!!

So was the draw against us the last time you guys raced a complete match?

Shame you guys seem to have packed up. Kept it quiet though. You hoping to get all the points awarded so that you can cruise through unbeaten from now on?

You guys did well that day. Bit like a lightning strike really.

Worried about heat 14 are you?!!

League tables never lie!!

Can you believe that there really are 7 signed riders lining up against 7 signed riders tonight!! Is this the first fixture anywhere that it's happened this season? Well done to the Monarchs and Ippo. No guests / no NL guests / no R/R, just a regular 7 against a regular 7. Just hope and pray there is no need for any IR/R tonight. And maybe even Capn Jack Hawkins will put in an appearance as team manager for Ippo!! Should be a helluva night's racing between the best 2 teams in the league. Haven't got a clue who will win - there's a case for both sides. But I just hope it's our good guys!!

Hard to argue with much of that. He let himself get wound up by Benjamin!!

But have you seen Cookie round Fox Holes? Poetry in motion!!

Agreed - Cookie could knock a second off it!!

I agree Cleggy hasn't yet mastered P'bro - but Joshie P. is worth the money round there!!

Yep I would certainly have gone to see the maestro ** King's backside 3 times if I didn't have a prior engagement. Even if the racing is crap I just love watching Cookie make it look so easy while others are killing themselves pulling big lockers.

Would rather have Cleggy or Joshie P. myself.

Crikey - must be the Cookie effect!! Won't be there myself - the bright lights of Londinium beckon instead.

Lucky Smiler was there.
