Oh dear, someone is still clearly hurting about being dumped out

Why would you? You won by 10! What makes you think it would have been more? We lost by 12 last week when it’s widely known it was used as a training exercise by our riders, encouraged to try different engines and set ups in the likelihood of returning for the play offs. The previous 3 at Poole you beat us by 6, 6 again and 2! behave.

On another note, Nico needs to come home next season.

That was the first major alteration to the track back in 2010, they’ve taken the bends in twice more since then. The old track was often criticised as being far too narrow to produce good racing which was fair enough. Chris Louis is on record as saying riders came to Foxhall and were already beaten before it started as they never had the confidence to race and attack the track because of its confined spaces. That certainly isn’t the case now, there’s plenty of room so that excuse can’t be used anymore. When I used to see comments on here about Foxhall I always thought other tracks were so lucky to produce far better racing. That was until I was forced in to early retirement and had more time on my hands to travel to away meetings. The last few years I’ve visited just about every track in the championship and now the premiership, and the fact is I’ve seen very few that offer anything much different to what I’ve seen at Foxhall! There’s a few select tracks that most of us know, that seem to produce good racing more often than not. Scunthorpe, Somerset, Peterborough and now of course the NSS being the best of the lot. But the truth is the majority are much of a muchness that will serve up poor meetings, average/ok meetings and a few very good meetings here and there.

People have to realise we had a monsoon on Friday and the track was literally under water. They done a fantastic job getting the track in the shape it was. BCD, the crowd was huge last night! And the atmosphere was electric, best I can remember for many many years. Seen a comment on here that the atmosphere was poor, can’t quite believe that comment. Maybe it came across that way on TV I don’t know, but certainly wasn’t the case at the stadium. Air horns are banned at Foxhall BTW.

And they were right, it was

He does but he’s been pretty disappointing so far in all honesty. Oh look, Josh G in for the hapless Holder..

It literally hammered down yesterday Steve. Very Similar to the Wolves meeting earlier on this season on BT actually where it rained all day and night the previous evening. It’s tricky I agree

Great race.

Sore toe!? LOL

Looks in superb condition from these pics

Judging by the forecast on met office I see little chance of getting this through unfortunately.

I refuse to believe we have even a small chance, until Geoffrey says we have no chance at all

Oh Geoffrey

And good for you, enjoy

Hawkins May be a bit of a dufus with some of his (non)decisions during meetings, but this sort of stuff he definitely knows. im sure more will come in the coming hours/days from more places.

Lawson will ride for Ipswich on Saturday. Confirmed.

Is Facebook still a thing? The social media thing where people post what they had for tea? Always struck me as a platform for needy insecure people who are desperate for “likes” and compliments. It’s a pass from me. Maybe im just a grumpy old fart these days..

But what IS your point exactly? Do you honestly think riders give a sh!t who owns their contract? Are you basically saying here, if Iversen was riding for Lynn in the play offs, he would be trying harder than he will for Ipswich?

Totally agree. He was right to let every rider have their full quota this evening.

Abysmal speedway track!
