Swindon in meltdown mode 😲😲

I have loved watching Nathans efforts for Ipswich this year.Full of heart and tenacity and just keeps getting up and getting on with it whatever is thrown at him. 👍👏

Surprise surprise Morris all of a sudden can get up 😠

Thats shouldve been an exclusion Shouldnt have to fall to get the decision

If the rumours of a 12 team top league are true then IMO there will have to be a significant reduction in doubling up. The second tier will have to become a hybrid Champ/NL strength which just would not be credible to combine 3/4 riders of the standard of this years Champs No7 and below and riders such as Cook Harris Masters King Holder etc Id say no rider over 7 by this years Champ figures should be allowed in a 2nd tier like that.

Guests allowed as riding for their double up team Re Lakeside - I think they hold a top flight licence which is 'on ice' and so as such can automatically ask to return if they wish next year.

well he is interested in this thread and not a neutral and doesnt support Edinburgh. Hope that helps 👍

No thats ones me Baldy. Dont plan to say anymore. Dont feel it serves any purpose to keep raking over it anymore. Sheffield won fair and square overall and thats what matters. Cant change the rest.

🙈🙉🙊

You couldve been blind and still have a good idea there had been an incident You could hear the thud as Scott hit Nathan and then Nathan scraped the fence

Surprised to see No7 in your hybrid team beat the swear filter Cookie!!

On the face of it looked absolutely fine but theres no doubt a few were having some minor troubles particularly around bends 1 and 2

different names on paper is all thats needed.... smoke and mirrors in line with the classic speedway approach 😛

If as is rumoured the top tier adds teams and goes to as many as 12 teams then I think it will mean a radical change in the second tier. With the need then for a hybrid Champ/NL I dont think it would be feasible to still include the current top riders in that set up. The likes of Cook Harris King Masters etc against teams containing 4 riders of the standard of this years No7s and below would be awful. I can see the second tier not including any rider over 8 or perhaps even 7 from the current set up and having a limit somewhere around 32-35. The top tier may also need a similar converted limit to ensure a shake up allowing teams moving up to not simply be sacrificial lambs. Id be quite happy to stay in tier 2 and swap race nights if Thursday becomes Prem only. Nico Cam Kyle Nathan Connor Danyon Jenkins

Guess that Gavans seven about 43.5 without doing a proper check

Yep - normal adult price £16 Normal programme price £2.50 All kids were free last night (usually £4 outside school holidays)

so quite possibly more than my estimate then 😲

That was my estimate Cookie. The main back straight stand has 3500 seats and looked 3 quarter full. The home straight stand and to bend 1 was full. Bend 1 and 2 terracing and vack straight below main stand upto bend 3 was 10+ deep all round. Thats about 200 metres. So over 2000 in main stand 500 home stand and towards bend 1 2000 on main terracing Thats how I estimated it.

Heres hoping you and a few more like you are tempted back for the cup match on the 13th (and then the final ☺) and again in 2018.It was a fantastic atmosphere last night despite being ultimately fruitless for the Witches.

Just watched Nico carve his way past Musielak and Zengota in his first ride of last nights Euro Pairs. Oh what couldve been.....

As Kyle headed across the line into lap 4 leading heat 8 the tie was very much still there for the taking. The 4-2 there wouldve put us 8 up and with some momentum. Unfortunately that all changed by the exit of turn 2 and really at that point it was all over. To be honest I wouldve traded any chance we still had to win anyway to see them all get up and walk away - it was a sickener of a crash.

Sitting where I do any announcement of a delay would not reach us! 🔇🔇

Its coming home Its coming home Speedways coming home3 Witches on a broom Craven Shield still gleaming 20 years of hurt never stopped the dreaming Its coming home Its coming home..... That one Baldy? 😀

Im very proud of my club for doing this👍 I think we are generally a gracious lot down here - perhaps weve just got used to losing! 😆 Its why I made a point of going down from my seat to say well done and shake a few of your hands once you clinched it 👍

It could even be more. Main stand has 3500 seats and was 3 quarters full. Packed in home straight stand. Bends 1 and 2 terraces and along backstraight 10 or more deep - and the Foxhall terraces are big.
