  1. I can’t see Pickering coming to Ipswich but would certainly take him or Kvach over King next year both have attacked Foxhall in recent weeks.
  2. With both Jason & Emil missing the heart has been ripped out of the side, King’s interview after the match pretty much confirmed that. we can only hope that Emil can make it back this season & that both Emil & Jason can return next year. Those two have been a breath of fresh air & brought so much to the club. The reason King gets so much stick is because when you really need him be that a pivotal heat or like last night a whole meeting he seems to go missing. He has been on the wrong end of far to many 1-5s at Ipswich in recent seasons when the chips are down against riders he should be more that capable of beating at home. As for the track it was clearly set up to unsettle the Holders I’d expect more of the same for the cup final & play offs. Just need to get Belle Vue out of the way now & regroup for the cup final & play offs.
  3. So the chips are down & the skipper gets 5-1s against 3 times!!
  4. There is about half the normal crowd in tonight 3 home meetings in a week with the one on tv I’m watching at home instead of liv.
  5. Tatum with his made up rules the idea of putting someone off 15 when he fell off at the back & the incorrect graphics!
  6. Kvech will suit his witches kevlars next season
  7. Emil is a lucky guy thankfully nothing serious hopefully we’ll seem him back before long the guy is already an Ipswich legend. As for the track the dirt line build up on the outside is an issue didn’t Danny have a similar crash there last season although that time he was sucked into the air fence.
  8. Perhaps it’s been flood damaged during all the rain offs Lynn have had……or has anyone check the spares cupboard it could be with the spare pit gate parts.
  9. Also had a word with Kvach to keep his average low for his move to Foxhall next year…..Doyle,Kvach, Emil & Ellis up the witches 25
  10. Just out of interest anyone know what Scottie is averaging for us at the moment? I know his bookings for us don’t affect his average, it would be interesting to know given he has spent most of the time at number 1
  11. In Poland they do get help from the local authorities but then Poland does like to invest in amenities & the local communities unlike the uk. However I’m not sure they would get the level of support from the local councils etc if it was ran as a Micky mouse sport like the uk. I’m pretty convinced that if the sport was run properly in the UK & got some half decent media coverage & decent attendance levels the likes of Peterborough, Coventry, wolves would still be going.
  12. That was a more interesting meeting than I thought it would be. Some great efforts from some of the Lynn boys kept it interesting & Ellis was superb from the back. Kvech looked good & took to Foxhall like a duck to water. I hope Louis & Hawkins take note for 2025 :-)
  13. Neither do the guys in charge to be fair. The sport is littered with inconsistent decisions.
  14. Thankfully looks like the fire was in a workshop & not the main stadium.
  15. Reading all the negativity on here around this match admittedly around the Lynn team does make me wonder. kings Lynn have had poor sides for the last few seasons coupled with the various off track issues & rather bizarre postponements. It’s like Buster doesn’t give a toss & I fully expect he will throw his toys out of the pram in October & pull Lynn out of league speedway & put it up for sale. The ironic thing is he is reaping the fruits of his time as chairman of the BSPA. Ive got my enthusiasm back for speedway over the last couple of seasons at Ipswich it’s been a joy to watch. It’s a shame that the sport as a whole isn’t run as professionally & as slick as Ipswich we might be in a better place. I fully intend to enjoy the rest of this season with Emil & Co & as much as I hope I’m wrong I can’t see the leagues being in a strong enough place next year for Emil to return. I really do fear for the future of this once great sport…….as for Thursday 60-30
  16. I thought I’d start this one….doesnt seem to be much interest so far!
  17. The whole situation is with Toby is an odd one, however with employment law regardless of speedway regulations I can’t see how anyone can prevent him earning a living? Toby doesn’t return to the Kings Lynn team after injury for whatever reason. He is then deemed to be withholding his services & receives a 28 day ban that’s fair enough. He is then released from his contract meaning that under employment law he is free to find a new employer. However he is prevented from doing so because even though he has been released from his contract, he has to remain declared in Kings Lynns 1-7 until they can sign a replacement. I’d love to see this get tested legally as it wouldn’t stand up & Toby would be free to sign for another club if that’s what he wished to do. He either has to be contracted & a declared team member or not contracted & therefore not declared. we don’t know the full story perhaps he doesn’t want to return to the uk this year & it’s all smoke & mirrors. Or perhaps he had enough of the circus that is kings Lynn speedway who knows.
  18. Might be correct as per scb regulations but try testing that legally more holes than Swiss cheese!
  19. He sure is but to the unique way speedway is run you can be out of contract but must still be declared in your old teams 1 to 7 until they sign a replacement.
  20. What a dust bowl…..watching this tonight you can kind of see why this sport is dying on its arse
  21. I’m not too concerned about the result, our home form will hopefully see us remain unbeaten at Foxhall & we go really well at Oxford. It was always going to a tough with out the Leicester track specialist Dan. In terms of of the track Leicester is like Foxhall consistently slated by away fans & some riders however those with true riding ability like Emil seem to have no issues. The only concern I have going forward is not replacing Doyle as that will scupper us in the play offs & the KO cup final. Nicholls is an Ipswich legend & in many ways it feels like he has come home this year…..almost a full time witch. However as good as he is at Foxhall to win the league we need a much stronger rider at Sheffield & Belle Vue as it’s clear we will need to beat at least one of those in the playoffs to take the title. We already know we have to go to Sheffield to retain the cup.
  22. If the will is there it would be interesting to test that legally. Regardless of the reasons a rider is released from his contract but can’t move elsewhere to earn a living as he has to remain declared in a team where he is no longer under contract. Only is speedway & highly illegal I would have thought.
  23. Tonight’s fixture has just been postponed due to the heavy rain forecasted for this afternoon & evening.
