You’re right. Not until Belle Vue return anyway 😁

Just stumbled across this https://ipswichwitches.co/video/ipswich-v-belle-vue-2019/ What a race this was! The race with Doyle, Emil, Holder and Musielak a couple of season’s ago sticks in the memory, but this tops it.

He doesn’t believe a word of what he writes. He does it for sh!ts and giggles. The very definition of a forum Troll. Ignore him.

With a full strength side I’d be very surprised to see us not hit 50+ for every home meeting, 60+ more often than not. Even Ellis and King are heavy Foxhall scorers.

We’ll definitely lose a few away meetings, but the key is I don’t think we’ll lose any comfortably. Which obviously bodes well for aggregate bonus points, and two legged semis/finals. I expect us to be totally dominant at Foxhall all season long.

9 between the top two and still won. Belle Vue 10 between their top two at Foxhall and got absolutely battered. There’s strength all the way through this team which means the top two can have off nights like tonight and we’ll still be in the mix. Actually Brennan had an off night as well so the whole top three underperformed. The track had a lot to do with that really it was never suiting Emil in particular.

Without question. They all did the track walk and studied each gate so it would have been discussed which they’d go for if they won the toss. They collectively got it wrong though.

Gate 4 was a graveyard and yet he took a win and a second from there including one of the few genuine passes of the meeting. Superb performance. Him and Jenkins won us that meeting no doubt about it.

It’s a good job we didn’t build top heavy and went with a strength in depth approach 😁

We’ll be lucky to get out of this one with a win and take it and run.

He’s a consistently poor gater so needs a track to race on. This isn’t it.

Track is abysmal. Similar to Oxford last week you literally have to turn the bike inside out and pin it on the white to get around. Emil trying a wide line and disappearing!

Doyle and Emil a ride each and zero points between em lol. Collectors item

I’ll throw my hat in the ring to the “best rider never to win the world championship”. Dennis Sigalos. When Penhall retired he was THE biggest threat to the Danish dominance. beat Nielsen in the 82 British Open run off for the biggest financial pay out in history at the time. Was a world class field reminiscent of the world final. Topped the British averages just shy of 11.00 in 83 and had the world at his feet. A fantastic write up here of Siggy. A crying shame that ankle injury ended his career and of course, we’ll never know. In my childhood eyes in the early 80’s though, the 🐐 https://vojensspeedwaycenter.dk/en/speedway-legenderne-dennis-sigalos/

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

You’re basing that on Ipswich getting to September injury free. Realistically what are the chances of that? Every single Ipswich rider had a spell on the sidelines injured last year, every one of them. To go from that, to not have one missing would be some turnaround. That’s why I’d never touch pre-season odds on any team. If you’re gonna have a friendly flutter, do it on a match by match basis.

You ok there?

Ouch is the very definition of a forum Troll. There is no way he believes the stuff he writes I refuse to believe anyone is that stupid. It’s purely engagement farming and unfortunately it works because people keep biting and responding to him. The other one, is just clearly not very bright and I’ll leave it at that.

Ahh yes of course, thank you I missed that. Should be a routine Ipswich win but you never know!

https://ipswichwitches.co/raceday-guide-oxford-a/ R/R for Kildemand. Think that’s just Wright and the two reserves who take his programmed rides. Gusts will be a busy boy I think.

Good opening night crowd and a good atmosphere. People were certainly enjoying themselves. All the riders seem to get on really well and it seems a very happy camp which always helps. Confidence is high all the way through the side. Belle Vue were woeful mind you. Way off it.

Was very noticeable around bends one and two and apparently bend three even more so but couldn’t really tell from where we stood. Louis explains what they’ve done here https://x.com/ipswichspeedway/status/1905277612299096223?s=61

You’re probably facing them at the worst possible time. They’ll all feel a bit embarrassed by that humping at Foxhall and will have a point to prove. Lemon will insist on some sort of reaction so not an ideal time to face them I don’t think. Good luck though I’ll be rooting for a Stars win! 😉
