Bash

This is a cup final FFS and they can’t even get a guest. Are you telling me that Chris Harris has turned down a guest booking. They tell the fans to turn up and get behind the team and they put a team out like that.

With the way Harris is riding currently they are probably better off going with RR

Lindgren’s polish club banned him from guesting. Bewley who knows?

Last time at Sheffield at the beginning of August he scored 4 points from 5 rides and he won one race, so are you sure he will score 7 or 8. He was poor at our last away match at Birmingham as well

Hopefully last night showed the changing of the guards and Brennan replaces King next season

With those lineups it’s Sheffield’s cup to lose. Why have we got Lidsey, surely Bewley would’ve been better! Or have Poland stopped him guesting as well as Lindgren. I gather it will be Scott instead of Jaimon for the second leg.

Don't they use the transponders at KL to determine who beat who?

Like other posters have stated his first meeting back doesn't have to be in England, he missed one meeting for Ipswich since his accident last Thursday and it's not like he has ridden in Poland and then missed a meeting in England like some riders have. He will be in the Ipswich team tonight. Just because he missed Monday doesn't mean he wouldn't be fit to ride the following day, you have to be fit to return sometime, just like if you were ill you can feel crap one day and better the next.

Okay thanks for clearing that up

Why what happened?

On the Witches preview for Thursday they have Antti Vuolas as a guest for him as he is unwell. Not worth giving him a 28 day ban as this is Birmingham’s last league match. Like you said what a joke!!!! If he comes back next season give him a ban to start the season.

The thing is the Sheffield V Ipswich match is KOC not a league match so why should Eurosport be able to tell them it can’t be streamed.

Just do a swap for Tom Brennan, seeing as Danny has ridden for Birmingham before even tho you wouldn’t know it from his score tonight.

Obviously the Ipswich promotion didn’t think many would turn up last night and my friends turned up at 7.15 and they had run out of programmes!!!! That crowd wasn’t that big.

Robert Lambert wouldn’t ride for Ipswich even if asked

Another reason why we should go with a full team and not RR.

And another one bites the dust, Kenyan Rew ruled out of the meeting after crashing through the pit gate in heat 2

King has been a loyal servant for Ipswich over the years but I think it is time he moved on. For someone of his experience around Foxhall he rides the wrong lines like last night, kept going to the fence on bend 2 and getting passed up the inside. Time for new blood like Tom Brennan or like others have said Jan Kvech.

Makes me laugh that Hawkins says the defeats are down to having not enough bodies in the team at the moment, yet we are still going RR on Thursday. Going RR and losing Emil has affected all the riders now and their confidence seems to have drained away.

Will any of the BV supporters come on here like the Sheffield ones and claim Ipswich will win with a line up like that. Another home loss coming and wouldn’t surprise me to be a bigger loss than the previous two. Can’t believe we are going RR again, the spirit in the team has been eroded with losing Emil.

Why don't they get Fast Freddie to guest against BV seeing as he has an average as of the 12/08

I notice on discovery+ that this is not the live meeting now and they have switched it to Leicester v Oxford. Missing out on the British Grand Prix winner being there.

That is the problem we have the top two averages in the league out and we can’t get no one near them whether this is down to other clubs around us not letting them who knows. No disrespect to Scott who has done a good job we are replacing a 9 point plus rider with someone just under 6. We have done really well to stay top of the league but with both out I think it’s too much to win these meetings. When we had Scott at least we had another big hitter. That is where the guest situation doesn’t work especially when most teams are riding the same night.

The next three meetings are all at home to the three teams below them, if we can’t get adequate guests then can see us losing all of them and finishing fourth in the league. Why haven’t we got Kurtz to guest, it’s not as if he has a Grand Prix this weekend or has BV stopped him from doing it?

Again against Sheffield only BV not riding, same scenario as against Leicester. Could work in BV favour as they would get some practice at Ipswich if they let either Bewley or Kurtz guest as they ride at Ipswich the same week as the Sheffield match
