A few small showers expected but largely dry - particularly from after midday so hopefully it will be a decent surface tonight. Bring it on! Up the Witches!

ask Paul Weller....

You seem rather on edge in your recent postings New Era I hope youre feeling better soon 👊👊

Baldy I think youve stolen my crown as chief pussycat kicker! 💩😿😈

My first thought was its bound to be changed - particularly as it mostly affects British riders. But of course points limit changes in the PL could force some of those top averaged riders out so perhaps thats the way to keep it place and not to lose face.

no just not letting you back out!! Booohaahaaahaaa!!! 😈😈

If its packed hard now then will largely just run off. Drainage is very good AFAIK. So long as its dry tomorrow all should be ok. Whatever its like its not a night to moan. Those that just get their heads down and deal with it will do best..... #bepositive #mindset

that would make perfect sense though.With no chance of reaching the playoffs then an attractive average for 2017 would be a much better approach to points scoring at the end of 2016....

Many expectations seem to be for a reduction to perhaps 40.

feeling less confident than a couple of days ago then Baldy? - we were gonna score 75 then 😉

dependa how many years he has missed.More than 3 and would be reassessed.

Along the lines of option 3 for me. 20 meeting rolling avearage. +1% for each of one at HL = for each at 2nd string -1% for each at reserve The biggest downside is it could penaluse to very top scorers. Someone on a current 9 fro HL would go to 11.8. If you wanted to alleviate this you could use a gap closure calculation. So the closer a rider is to 12 the smaller their increase would be.

I also like the idea of some continuity. Win or lose at least it was 'our team' as such.

No need to say sorry SB - easy to see your point of view. Whatever will be will be....

Thats fine by me. Happy to see Connor get a chance to prove any doubters wrong. If he still fails to score then so be it - at least we will all know he has given it 100% Up the Witches.

What about the massif as the 8th man!😎

good - some light natural watering upto the day will help.Hope for a nice dry day on Thursday and great conditions for a top rate surface.

Anything our no7 scores needs to be considered a bonus. So the other 6 have to score 54 to be sure of securing a final place. Would need something like Danny 14 Nico 11 Ben 9 Morten 7 Sarj 6 Jo 7 Not gonna be easy but come on we can do this!!

Whoever it is just get behind them and make some noise.

where as now you just need the right vaccinations 😀

it will carry on in some form whether individuals within it come and go or not. Its more of a spirit of mind thing than a physical set of people anyway IMO. Its about creating an atmosphere and enjoying the night whatever.

note the word 'effectively' Spedeworth do not pay rent to Ipswich Speedway Ltd - they bought a lease which is very different in practical terms when the length of it is as long as it seems this arrangement is. Whilst not the 'owners' as freeholder Spedeworth have full control and full receipt of all revenues generated. And as pointed out Ipswich Speedway Ltd has no connection to the current promotion.

The Ipswich Speedway Ltd that mick refers to is the original company from all those decades ago when the track was first built. It has no link to the current speedway club. The stadium is now effectively owned under long term lease by Spedeworth. They have control and receive all revenues as a result. The fact the land freeholder may still remain as the original Ipswich Speedway Ltd is rather irrelevant to the club now.

Good for Ben doing that interview. Again shows that there is as more positive about him than there is negative.

the lights are top notch - just directed mostly at the stock car track!!
