  1. Well it looked it tbf. Never really going to tell until the riders get out on it but it looked in terrific nik when we turned up.
  2. I agree not easy. I was expecting it to be difficult as the weather was very similar to the 24 hours leading to the Wolves fixture. Heavy overnight rain then a dry day. We saw how tricky that made things against Wolves so tonight wasn’t such a surprise.
  3. What do you want a medal? Wright Nicholls and Tungate have all won countless races around Foxhall and on another night, RR could have proved ample cover. It certainly wasn’t the outlandish suggestion you’re making it out to be. As it turned out, it didn’t and you were proven correct. Congratulations.
  4. Easy to say after the event. I stand by my comment. On paper pre-meeting, it didn’t look a bad alternative.
  5. Phew came through unscathed yet again and to send away the Panthers with nothing is an added bonus. Just gotta hope Jake Allen and KP get themselves back fit soon because although we’re still winning, (which is an encouraging sign) we’ll need them if we’re to stay where we are. Well done Richard Lawson top drawer this evening.
  6. Disagree. Nicholls, Wright, Tungate and whoever has impressed on their first outing is a suitable replacement IMO. Garcia is a trier, but no replacement for Jake Allen obviously. Allen’s continued absence can’t be understated he’s been a massive part of our excellent start to the season. Last time out without him we just about scraped home against Wolves and the Panthers reserves look much better than Wolves’ so Heeps won’t have it all his own way either. The missing KP also played a massive part in that narrow win over Wolves. I think we look vulnerable here tonight and we’re going to need BOTH Harris and Bellego to actually turn up to their home track for once.
  7. Don’t be daft. He apparently fell heavily in his final ride. Got up and won the rerun granted, but benefit of the doubt here surely.
  8. My mistake it’s was today not yesterday https://twitter.com/ipswichspeedway/status/1136340295275225088?s=21
  9. And now RR for KP. Apparently damaged his knee in Poland yesterday.
  10. Allen withdrawn from our meeting this Thursday as he found last night too painful on his shoulder. Can add that to the ifs what’s and maybes re the result
  11. Explains Allen’s subdued performance last night. Wise to take it easy rather than more damage
  12. https://ipswichwitches.co/ipswich-v-peterborough-raceday-preview/ RR for Andersen.
  13. Don’t agree. If we had bigger hitters up top we wouldn’t have the strength in reserve or the solid look from top to bottom. We’ve beaten teams comfortably this year with our top scorer not even hitting double figures. The team is built so that every rider from 1-7 score half decent points, which totals up to winning meetings, and being competitive in others. Belle Vue are a good side, especially at home obviously, but if this was a play off final I’d fancy our chances of finishing this off at Foxhall.
  14. Would snap your hand off for that right now. Belle Vue by 10.
  15. Great was really looking forward to seeing him back at Foxhall next week. Hope he’s back fit soon.
  16. Reruns version of Monday’s BT sport meeting heat 9. Got the riders names right at least but poor work from the camera man who missed the crucial part of the whole race!
  17. For what it’s worth Badge I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the racing this year! More than previous seasons and I never thought I’d be saying that
  18. Baldyman’s right there’s not usually that much dirt on the track as there was Monday. Whether the overnight rain played a part in that I’ve no idea. Ipswich have just uploaded another race from the Poole meeting, this is much more consistent with how the track is prepared although it’s slickened off here as it’s towards the end of the meeting On another note, why does everyone not know who Heeps is anymore? He turned in to Bellego on Monday and he’s turned in to Jake Allen here! Poor Cam
  19. Not sure Rory has ever been known for his racing. Heeps is a racer, and the lines he tries like we saw on Monday, are the exact same lines you’d expect “bomber” to be using. Alas we’ve seen nothing of the sort from Harris. He’s been hugely disappointing so far not just because of his points scored, but for the entertainment value you’d expect from him. Still time to see that of course and let’s hope we see it soon.
