Well Ioswich start time is 7:45 and Leicester is 7:30 so the suspension was still 15 mins short 😉

Exactly

Seems that way which is ridiculous

How can Richard Lawson be guesting tonight? It's only 6 days into his 7 day suspension.....

Not so - not allowed to spin the back wheel

Did you get that sense of humour bypass on the NHS? 😉

Denmark

Yes

Looks like a huge amount of thought and effort has gone into the anniversary meeting I might even go!! 😁

You'll be claiming he only found the will to become World Champion because deep down he knew one day it would secure him an Aces race jacket Without that motivation he would never have made it 😋

I would love to carry on the debate with you but i don't think further information is the issue here..... 🙂

None of them should be out early but that shouldn't affect Garritty He broke the terms of his licence (more than once from the stories on here) Where do you draw the line? He only broke a curfew He was only in an area he shouldn't have been in He only stole a Mars bar He only stole a bike He only stole a car He only broke into a house He only broke in, was unexpectedly disturbed and bashed someone Where on that list would be need to get to before being sent back? If any of those you bring into the equation so much as drop a cigarette butt I'd have them back inside!

Lots of debate about the pros and cons of having the top riders as part of the offering Below is link to an interesting view as to why cricket's 'The Hundred' has not captured the fans imagination https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1DdVaFxxXD/

You coukd turn the world upside down and the batch of riders available would be tiny!

I don't think anyone will argue that its right to prioritise your family over everything However this situation doesnt seem to have just appeared out of nowhere at tea time and as a professional sportsman the very least expected would be timely communication Informing the club only 2/3 hours before tapes up is unacceptable Perhaps a bit more controversial/devil's advocate observation. Could the fact that he couldn't find any help from family/friends be linked to his general attitude and apparent ease of falling out with people? (Pure conjecture on my part)

If considered withholding services it should be 28 days If accepted as a non speedway injury/illness type situation it should be 7 days

Need to get rid - taking the pee

Gotta feel for Batch - scapegoated on this one

Tend to agree but a Play Off semi would at least bring a few quid into the coffers An enhanced attendance coukd also encourage Mayfield as to what is possible if they get the product right

Congrats to Leicester - as the saying goes "you can only beat what is put in front of you" The fact than the aggregate difference was only 10 despite 2 hugely contrasting performances from what turned out to be the key man on each side is quite staggering Huge well done to Drew with 25 paid 26 from 12 rides who was superb. Undoubtedly his best performances of his career Conversely it was so very sad to see Tom limp to 7 paid 8 from 8 with those 7 third places coming from finishing ahead of 3 fallers, 2 team mates, a race retirement and a career retirement The manber of his performances was more worrying than the scores themselves It seems to me that Tom is suffering psychologically - he was leading or in a position to challenge in a good number of the heats and looked to dip out at the vital point Speedway just like most top level sport is small margins whether it be machinery or between the ears Perhaps almost a bigger disappointment for me was Lawson not on the truck and already changed This was the top leagues Cup Final. The presentations are as much as the racing the 'kodak moments' (showing my age 😁) the sport can use to promote itself and we have one the teams top riders missing the presentation and then belatedly pulling a t-shirt over his civvies for a picture Like it or not ultra professionalism on the media side is vital if we are to drag the sport back into the spotlight and secure sponsorship and coverage

Any lingering doubts as to whether the Witches could pull off a miracle must surely now be over The withdrawal of the underperforming, average sliding second string (was soon to be reserve) means A) An in form horses for courses guest or B ) RR where a heat leader can take 1 and rampant, improving reserve (soon to be second string) 2 of his rides Congratulations Leicester

Are you expecting the limit to increase to about 45? 😁

Haven't seen a graveyard gate 4 like that for a long time - a bit bizarre really A freakish Drew Kemp performance was the difference between the draw we got and the Witches picking up the 10+ win to make it interesting - as simple as that

Prepare it as we want and tell them to go do one if they don't like it! 🙂

I'm hopeful of a 10-12 point Witches win Around that would at least make it interesting Leicester strong favourites overall Game on!
