Sorry can’t agree. Tonight is pointless for us, makes much more sense to give Sarjeant another race which could possible help him if we return. Hawkins has made some mistakes this season I’m not denying it, but don’t understand the stick in this one.

Think it’s just you

Not sure Baldyman. Our riders seem to have run in to a bit of poor form for their Championship clubs recently. Hopefully saving their best for us!

Lord above knows why we haven’t seen those lines and moves from him more often this season.

Heeps makes a huge difference to this Ipswich team, particularly at Foxhall. Made a huge effort last winter to get himself in much better shape and it’s paid dividends as he’s had a very good season. Should walk the ROTY award regardless of what happens in the play off meetings.

Oh Geoffrey.. LOL

Don’t think the 16 lapper is even scheduled this year. It was last year I think, before being cancelled. Think they found it harder and harder to find enough riders willing to do it these days so I’ll be surprised if we see this event again anytime soon. Shame as it was always something I really looked forward to. That 8 rider final never seemed to lose its appeal for me.

Could potentially be the last time we see Chris Harris in Witches Kevlars around Foxhall. Every cloud and all that..

Thought it was a boring meeting personally. The previous meeting against Peterborough produced much better racing.

Nah. More likely these last few meetings will ease him in to life at Foxhall ready for a full campaign next year

I think ol Geoff is more likely praying we don’t pick up another point, rather than expecting us not to

What’s the 1st of September got to do with it? We’ve re-declared now not from Sunday onwards.

Far too much is being made of Pooles previous victory at Foxhall. These things happen. On our previous visit to Swindon, Swindon had to pull of heroics in heat 15 to nab the win, this week we got mauled by more than 40 points, that’s speedway. Different night, probably different conditions, and definitely different personnel. Previous meetings are completely irrelevant.

Lynn fans will know more than me Baldyman, but I think that modest average was due to a poor year riding with a shoulder injury? That’s why they desperately wanted him back on an average he was sure to increase

Iversen has been in good form recently, will be disappointed with 9 or 10 personally. Certainly makes tomorrow’s meeting even more interesting than it was already. NKI alone should pull in even more supporters but with it being Poole and a crucial fixture, could well see our biggest gate of the season. Looking forward to it.

An injury he’s still carrying apparently and it’s being “managed” until the end of the season when he’ll probably then have surgery. Thats why I think Jake Allen will be hot property this winter. He was absolutely superb pre injury and hasn’t hit those heights since his return. That though will keep his average at a mark that will make him very appealing for when he comes back to tapes next March fully fit, especially if fitted in at reserve. Hopefully we’ll have an advantage and will already have some kind of agreement to retain him next year.

Isn’t Iversen one of the main beneficiaries of Guy Nicholls sponsorship? If so, probably a very helpful factor in getting him to Foxhall

Heeps still missing for this fixture. That’s a blow especially now we’ve lost one of our strong reserves. Obviously we need to see how Sargeant goes on the night, but you’d expect that this is the night that Jake Allen SHOULD be getting 7 rides down at reserve with what looks on paper a weak reserve partner, and R/R for Heeps. Will he? Not likely!

Two of the riders must have known they were out before the meeting so you’d have to assume that was a contributing factor to such a drubbing. The two riders “sacked” scored 22 between them on their last visit Swindon odds on to lift the trophy though if everyone stays fit. The form horse by far right now.

Must beat Poole at home this Thursday. Ideally would have liked Iversen to have a meeting or two at Foxhall before such a crucial fixture, but hopefully his experience and quality should still show. Very very interesting meeting at Foxhall on Thursday and I’d expect a bumper crowd. Last week of the kids holiday, crucial fixture that could make or break our play off hopes, and a star signing making his debut! as well as NKI

I think it does personally. We still have A strong reserve now Allen drops back there, and Sargeant actually rides Ipswich pretty well. If he doesn’t, he’ll get three rides and Allen will get an extra ride. In theory anyway! Getting Iversen in may also give the others a lift, particularly Harris who should now feel less pressure and gets away from number 1.

So is that Jake Allen back down to reserve alongside Sarjeant? Iversen Lawson Harris Heeps King Allen Sargeant Could work.

KP can consider himself a touch unfortunate IMO. There’s others I’d have preferred to see go before him.

I can understand to a degree those that were put off by the Peterborough line up and decided to keep their money in their pockets. I seriously thought about it too TBF. But those that did decide to stay away missed a pretty decent meeting. Ive looked forward to some great looking fixtures this season and on a lot of occasions I’ve walked out of the stadium disappointed at what was served up. This was the opposite. Maybe because the expectations were low who knows Just goes to show that you never know
