I get what you are saying and Ipswich is a gaters track and not a great track I agree … let’s be fair Kurtz is a great gater probably the worlds best … he didn’t make one start that night and showed absolutely no desire to try and mix it from third or fourth …. Not that our track lends itself to good racing I thought it was a poor effort … like you say maybe an off night but I honestly think he didn’t try that hard… i understand why I’m not that foolish but there are other riders (your own Bewley being one of them) who would have still tried maybe to no avail As I said id like to see Kurtz win the title

All depends on how riders like Blodorn Cook and Tate do away from home As much as I’m happy to see Doyle over here it definitely makes Belle Vue weaker than it did with Bewley so I don’t see why all of a sudden they are favourites Sheffield or Leicester for me

I’m absolutely delighted Doyle is back in British speedway we need the big names ….. and let’s be fair it could have been much worse…. He could have gone to Sheffield which would be unforgivable lol Ipswich fans who are angry are just fools who have no idea about the sport …. All the uncertainty over the winter meant Doyle did what’s right for him ….. am I angry …. No… would I have liked him at Ipswich …. Absolutely

You have this weird fascination about me disliking Kurtz I guess reading isn’t your strong point because I said last season and this season that I wanted Kurtz to win the world title But I stand by the fact he let Belle Vue down in the play offs last season…. Yes he has a world championship to go for but he didn’t try at all for his club … something Bewley wouldn’t do and neither the new signing Doyle I also mentioned his poor score at Sheffield this season as a pointer to the fact he has to step up a bit more this season now there is no Bewley … he has to get 12 or 13 most weeks minimum If you feel that those opinions mean I dislike him then you can run with that to suit your agenda If he is leading the world championship or in with a shout around the play offs and he still bangs in big scores then fair play …

Definitely not Not yet Sort of He isn’t One million percent

Welcome back to British speedway Doyley still one of the worlds best and you know exactly what you will get 100% and more Gutted he isn’t back with us but we had so much uncertainty he had to look elsewhere I think the signing although good for speedway doesn’t help Belle Vue much at home as I think guest options would have been better wish him all the best … but not to much lol

I don’t think Kurtz struggles with pressure .. how many gp’s did he win on the bounce when he needed to…. can see him winning both

All I’m saying about Kurtz is that British speedway is a fair way down his list of priorities and sometimes that clearly shows…. Whereas someone like Bewley or Doyle when he was here would give 110% everytime And yes I’m correct when I say Kurtz has to step up especially away while Bewley is out .. he can’t be getting 8 from 5 away from home If you look back on the GP threads i wanted Kurtz to be world champion so it’s not as some people think that I don’t like him ……. Just he can be flaky at times with his riding in the UK and not his fault but as a number one he needs 12 or 13 a meeting not 8

Poole as I said in my post lol But Edinburgh know with two full 1-7 that Poole would be there for the taking at home Replace Harris score with what Dan T usually gets Replace Tate with the score Bowes usually gets Not hard to see why Edinburgh will be happy moving forward

Bowes at Edinburgh scored 0 and 2 last season his replacement got 4 tonight … i don’t care who Bowes beat at Poole the other night it’s irrelevant based on his form at Edinburgh Dan T has scored 13 13 11 and 10 at home his replacement got 5 I’m sure you aren’t Diane Abbott and your maths is pretty good so if Bowes scored 1 tonight and Dan T 12 that’s a total of 13 which is a 10 point swing based on tonight’s scores… it’s all ifs and buts and maybes but clearly if both sides has their 1-7 Poole would possibly have had a heavier defeat

How did a strengthened Poole side lose to Edinburgh…. Tate far better than Bowes would have been and Harris scoring less than half of what Thompson would have Might be a good result for Poole in this competition but even a 10 point score for Thompson would have been 51-39 …. Bowes never scores at Edinburgh… Edinburgh would be strong contenders to beat Poole over 2 legs of Thompson and Bowes both rode

Spoke to Danny afterwards and he said he didn’t feel confident in the track and wasn’t making gates so they went with Lawson although Danny was asked first

Clueless or trolling? Ipswich fans are not fickle we have had the biggest crowds even through the crap years and lower league …. One of if not the best supported clubs And although Brennan and Lidsey ride at one they aren’t exactly good enough to be number ones and Lidsey again doing his usual Foxhall performance.

Are you happy with 8 from 6 rides from your number one and world number 2? You have lost Bewley which is huge. At home you can almost cover him with Lidsey and maybe Fricke guesting though they obviously can’t replace Dan If you aren’t winning big at home without Bewley then there is pressure to step up away from home …..especially from Kurtz he needs to go to the other tracks have 5 rides and get 12 or 13 If he can and Zach Cook and Tate keep performing the way are then you can get bonus points … which you didn’t get tonight because Sedgeman and Brady didn’t do there jobs … 1 point from Sedgeman and 4 from Brady when he run 3 last places would have seen you get the bonus point Of course without Dan it will always be tough so yes 8 from 6 from Brady is not good enough

Comfortable for Sheffield with no Bewley Kurtz needs to step it up away from home or Belle Vue will again be losing many away matches

Poole could easily get close to 60 in this one Harris last 3 meetings at Poole 16 rides and 6 wins and is out of form Howarth last 3 has had 14 rides and 1 win Flint 8 rides and 1 win Add in having Jack Smith and Luke Harrison and Glasgow are very weak Rushen and Cairns can easily hit double figures Any Poole fan expecting this to be close is deluded

Only got 6 last time

Got this spot on lol The 3 guests got 22 between them and only twice this season have the 3 they replaced got more at home Thomson matched Blodorn Sedgeman didn’t do much Lidsey and Cook both got double figures The Belle Vue reserves got more than Sheffield but only just Can’t see how anyone thought Sheffield were favourites Will be different tonight I would guess and Sheffield may get the bonus point

Last time Blodorn Kildemand and Bewley got 19 between them … let’s see how the replacements do

Belle Vue should still have enough to win this easily enough Thomsen will match Blodorn Sedgeman is a weak link but Lidsey will get double figures and possibly Cook as well Belle Vue reserves should outscore their opposite reserves

Another big crash for Tai today with his bike catching fire apparently … 6 broken ribs … punctured lung and a smashed arm and bladder Time to call it a day this time

And now Tai

Your knowledge of speedway gets worse every week Poole were hot favourites with Rushen and Bowes The loss of Bowes made you stronger The loss of Rushen made you back to where you was … hot favourites still You wasn’t weakened and you won as EVERYONE expected So so boring this defied the odds garbage

I don’t live in Ipswich but I am on a group chat with our 8 friends and they live in Ipswich and all day today they have had rain showers and even hailstorms during the day … not all day but on and off including one around 6.45 Best not to say anything if you don’t know the answer

Is sarcasm the lowest form of wit or is that the fool who responds Never mind I’m sure that one day Belle Vue may get close to the crowd levels at Ipswich You have the best track in the league and ours is arguably the worst yet you aren’t well supported…. Never mind
