Which is why Jason Doyle for example is worth his weight in gold. Not only turns up every week, but gives it 100% in every single meeting he’s here. We’ve had other top class riders dip their toes in of course, but you never really got the feeling they were giving it 100%.

R/R and Rowe covering for Riss and Barker accumulated a total of 3 points, we done incredibly well to keep that winning run going. King the main reason for that. Good lad is Danny so it’s lovely to see him riding himself back to form. It’s been coming the last few weeks.

You were basically riding a 5 man team though and had enough there to be winning that, especially with Doyle not quite his dominant best. Pickering, Jorgensen and Worrall with only one win between them at home is nowhere near good enough.

You should have been winning that especially at home. You won’t get a better chance than that!

Aye you could well be right there Badge.

No idea why they’ve not just swapped Rowe and Hume around if they intend on using them both. Rowe is our official rising star, so bring him back in at 7 and then use Hume for Barker. Your number 8 (Hume) can replace any member of the team on a meeting by meeting basis, without the need to re-declare.

“Erik had a successful operation which showed no ligament damage, but he will still be out for four to six weeks which takes us to the play-offs. We are definitely looking at options at what we can do regarding that and that may or may not include Ben’s situation which we should know more about imminently. We have only got until the Belle Vue meeting where we are allowed to make changes, so we have got to act quickly. Me and Chris (Louis) have spent the last week constantly on the phone talking about it and there are plans in place for whatever eventuality.” https://ipswichwitches.co/raceday-preview-kings-lynn-premiership-a-2/ The “plans in place” are the two riders mentioned, I’m confident of that. Let’s see what happens over the next few days. We’ll know by Friday I’d imagine if we’re on plan A or on to plan B..

And TBF Starke has been out a while now and he’s clearly lacking some sharpness. Not sure there’s any need for petty criticism of Starke.

Not sure that was the case.

R/R for Riss and our rising star Anders Rowe comes back in for Barker at number 4. Seems we’ve written this one off..

You think Tungate and Summers is a downgrade on Riss and Barker? Fair enough but I respectfully disagree. The only downside for me possibly, is it could upset the balance of the side. We seemed to have the blend right and they were riding well collectively as a team. That’s my only worry now with these changes.

No chance. Riss comfortably better than Summers. But on the whole, the 1-7 certainly doesn’t appear weaker as a result of the two changes.

Agree and disagree. Agree on attitude, but he rides Foxhall well. If he doesn’t like it, then he hid it well when riding for us.

Tungate finished on 6.59 in 2019 with Peterborough.

lol indeed. Must say I’m surprised, but at the end of the day business is business. The club get a decent rider in and the rider has the opportunity to earn a few quid.

The one he’s just signed

Let’s hope they’ve got a better calculator than the one they’ve used in the past though..

I did check with the source before naming them and was given the ok, so it’s Tungate and Summers for Riss and Barker. BSPA approval permitting.

Are you suggesting Kerr for Ipswich here BB? We’d actually like to try and win the thing this year

Well we can’t say these two changes weaken the side, so no excuses.

I see what you did there! Very good

Wouldn’t want Kerr as a replacement for Riss personally.

All gone Pete Tong sadly. Shame as we were going like a train.

Agree it’s been well worth the season ticket this year very enjoyable. Winning helps as well obviously! We’ve been top pretty much all season long. Knocked off briefly on occasions but soon resumed top spot when we’ve ridden our next meeting and caught up meetings. Don’t think anyone thought that when we lost every single one of our cup meetings!
