Unlike Ipswich to name a number 8, maybe they have concerns over Ellis if his shoulder pops out again

If you have a successful RS like Dan or like BV did with Tom Brennan in 2022 and they move into the top 5 do you think it is fair that in the protected heats the other RS are racing against non RS. With Ipswich it is slightly different to BV as they have Jordan Jenkins who was a RS last season. With BV they had Norick Blodorn who was a far better rider against them, and what happened that season BV won the league. So if it’s a problem the RS should stay at number 7 all season despite their average, but that isn’t going to help them progress, so why shouldn’t you get a better facility if they are in the top 5.

This is what is wrong with some of the rules in speedway, we can't use Scott Nicholls again because of the 8 day rule but we can use Sam Masters who rode for the opposition last week in the same meeting as Scott. I suppose the only benefit of this rule is we can't use Batch this week!

He would fit for Dan Thompson, but don't think it is allowed

Nicholls only scored 2

The track is so dry tonight, did they not water it today? Last week with the natural watering it was very good with lots of different lines but the outside is non existent tonight.

Forgot about the opening night this season, he had two falls, thought he did better than that last season. I hope Batch proves me wrong and has a blinder.

I said that to Racin Jason about Dudek at King's Lynn after Doyle's crash.

Can't understand going RR when only four premiership teams in action. Could we not have got someone like Bewley to guest for Doyle? No problem with Nicholls but could've gone for someone like Ben Cook a better option than Batch. I know they have said that the two guests aren't associated with any Premiership clubs, but BV are out of the cup so it's not going to affect BV's league position.

Need all the witches to be on it Thursday especially Batch. Covering Doyle with RR doesn't work as two of his rides are covered by a 5 & 4 point rider, and you lose him to heat 15. With Leicester replacing Kemp with Cook, this has banana skin written all over it.

Can you actually reply to anyone's posts without insulting people. Look at the reply below yours from Manifesto it can be done!!!

Nicholls alluded to the difference in team spirit between the two clubs. Not once in heats 13 & 15 did Woofinden look for his team mate, whereas Emil & Doyley did. Surely Woofinden had to try and slow the race down not just go off into the distance. Now that Milik has been dropped maybe he will end up at Sheffield as Howarth's place must be in doubt.

Don't think they will, why if he is a 28 day replacement would he have a set of team kevlars on last night

What's the weather in Ipswich as had some rain other side of Colchester?

Do they stream meetings at Oxford?

Don't think Ipswich stream, but Rerun Productions film there.

That's what I thought with the amount of 5-1's between the pair, not a lot of points dropped at home between them

Do those averages include bonus points, as if not they will be closer?

If Richie says he is done with the sport can't see him paying the fines

If Ellis is going to BV how about Tom Brennan to Ipswich

Emil & Doyle back and make sure Rew starts at reserve. Do away with RS in Premiership & put that in Championship. If it is only 6 teams raise the team limit to 45

Some Ipswich supporters standing next to me after heat 15

Thanks couldn't hear a thing over the tannoy system, only got heat 2

Yes I was, it was by the gate next to the pits

Congrats to Sheffield on winning the title. Don't agree with amount of guests they used over the two legs, should've been the same 7 riders in both legs but used rules to their advantage. Can anyone please post the winning times from last night as it was so noisy couldn't hear them being announced
