And to avoid any confusion ... I did clearly state the "weather gods have rescued Ipswich" . Ippo must have breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the weather forecast on Wednesday 🙂

The weather gods have rescued the Witches.... the very very early call off showed that Ippo were certainly worried about losing the home leg tonight KL having the momentum going into tonights meeting.

Ah that worked... ill try again . Pooles Ford/Muddleditch surprised me by choosing steady Starke whos peedway carer has peaked, against the much liked and entertaining Fooord who surely is an improving rider . Maybe Ford didnt like the way Vincent splet his name ?

Test post...... seems my posts aremt being delivered to the forum

One has to question whether this compulsory "rising star" in the PL is actually a good thing ? Seems to me "rising stars" are just a bunch of riders that clubs are forced to track one per side. When they flop clubs are lumbered wiht having to pick another "rising star" replacement. All sounds like forcefeeding these youngsters into the PL whether they want to or not. The good ones would have probably got their chances anyhow. Does "rising star" status actually benefit anybody - other than theclubs who get a cheap number 7. ?

Danny Bewdley should know better - after all he is a SGP rider !

Oh ! - is he still only 15. That's a shame.

Cooper Rushden ?

At least the Poole fans have some excitement of close results this season . Kerrey and Starkey have both been around long enough to show why they are where they are in their speedway careers?. Seems the boy Cookie is missing his brother this season ? Both Foordie and Hagger have shown some form since leaving.

I have said it before , daytime meetings on uk tracks are always a disaster . Track material just cannot hold enough water. A sunny or windy day and ithe track will be like a dusty road. The only track that I have seen raceable in daytime conditions was Arlington - where the late Bob Dugard literally flooded the track before start time and the track material used had good water retention.

What a load of moaning minnies. So let’s state the obvious. Track was the same for both teams ? Ref was rubbish. Always the case for a losing away side. Makes a refreshing change to see Poole with a pretty average team so far this season, losing a few matches. And as I said earlier Dont worry lads, you will win the home leg comfortably.

O fansmust be hoping for an early return of Doyle. Their management seem keen to use R/R as per last season which was not a success. Old Doyle really is injury prone in his later speedway career. Always forceful, he just isn’t quite the rider he once was and sadly seems to come off worse in these racing incidents. It would be sad to see Ippo denied the p.off championship a second year due to injuries to Doyle and others.

Dont worry lads, you will win the home leg comfortably.

Maybe he is owed money ??
