I doubt he will get 15 against Emil

Wow bomber who needs Doyle!

If a team has to use the same riders in a two legged play off then if Ben Cook had ridden at BV then would he have to ride tonight even though Blodorn is now fit. In the same way shouldn't Cook have ridden in the second leg of last years semi final.

I am, just interested, was hoping it was a rain off as Doyley can't ride this week.

So apparently Ipswich can't use Joe T because of 8 day rule despite the rules appear to state that doesn't to NDL riders!

Nope they are the facts

Ok so hope for a good meeting.

Any weather reports? Is it still raining in Ipswich?

Not playing it down, we are away from home and we couldn't beat Douglas at home, Kemp is flying at the moment, Newman has been off form so if we win at Scunthorpe it will be a minor miracle.

3 Meetings?

Maybe a wet track would suit Ipswich, it certainly didn't suit Belle Vue in the cup at Wolves.

I think we are just being realistic, it is yours to lose. Probably be decided by a bad call from the referee like the GP at the weekend.

I would rather they didn't, come on Bayern and Harry.

I especially like the last bit!

Leicester couldn't get a dry track in the play offs even with buster's help. If the rain is at heavy as forecast today it will take a lot of drying out before it can be worked on.

That is what happened in 2018 which is why the agreement for Poole to use Morris and Kings Lynn to use Ellis came about.

You say not hard to do but apparently it is. This is the regulation. A rider may only guest for one team in any 2 legged tie (home and away) It doesn't say you have to use the same guest for both legs.

It was fair we had one and Kings Lynn had one!!

We are Poole, we do what we like, thanks.

Yes I know as that is what happened years ago when Poole rode against Kings Lynn in an Elite League Final and it was decided that Morris had to ride for Poole in both legs and Ellis for Kings Lynn in both legs as it would not look good to have the same rider riding for two different teams in a high profile decider.

Rain in Ipswich is forecast to be very heavy today and a few showers tomorrow, will it be called off?

Unfortunately he does have off nights and I have seen him many times have a breakdown in his first ride then win the rest of his rides but when he retires the sport will miss him a lot. He is the most entertaining rider we have, nobody likes to see him gate, a bit like nobody wanted to see Mark Loram gate which was rare but happened now and again.

I would take that.

I think we have to admit Scunthorpe are the form team and should win. Kemp is in great form, unfortunately Newman is not, if Rowe was at reserve I would be more confident.
