That’s a great result for Berwick did not see that coming Rushen great talent that he is is starting to show signs of a bit if petulance but he’s only young but might need a steady influence …. Definitely over rode tonight something Brennan is sometimes guilty of at Ipswich match finely balanced now

Why no Jenkins in heat 14? surely it’s flint and Morris in heat 15?

Young Rushen getting all riled up for no reason ..: needs one of the calmer heads to get hold of him

When is Poole ever easy it’s a crap track and yes we at Ipswich have one as well Not easy to prepare with the heat so an already poor track just becomes a shocker

I’ve read some crap in my time but this is right up there

2022 Ipswich won twice at Foxhall and Belle Vue once 2023 Ipswich won once at Foxhall and Belle Vue twice admittedly one of those we had riders missing 2024 Ipswich won once at Foxhall and Belle Vue won once …. Though again when Belle Vue won we had no Doyle no Emil and Rew got injured in his first race 2025 3-0 Ipswich and comfortably So yes the odd time you done ok but recently you have only won when we had riders missing Hence this Thursday Ipswich have their fulll 1-7 and Belle Vue will be favourites this time There is no harm in admitting teams don’t go well at certain tracks and when you have riders like Kurtz Bewley cook Blodorn and Lidsey they don’t really perform at Foxhall Kings Lynn last season were a much worse side than Belle Vue but at Foxhall gave us our toughest test because their riders ride our place better As I said I’d be stunned if Belle Vue don’t win tomorrow with no Cook and Doyle riding

Never will Belle Vue have a better chance to beat a full strength Ipswich at Foxhall R/R for a rider who can’t ride the place is a help…. Does Doyle get a ride? A much weaker Ipswich side than last season ….plus the aces are stronger at Foxhall with Doyle instead of Bewley and no Lidsey Will the Kurtz who didn’t try in the play offs show up or will he be on it as there is no GP for 2 weeks 50-40 Aces

Wasn’t a million miles away with predicted scores Last season we had Doyle Emil Danny and to a lesser extent Ellis and Dan T who all were ok at Belle Vue Replacing them with Lawson and Nicholls means we are always likely to get pumped up there The only saving grace is that they can’t ride ours that well but now they have Doyle if expect them to win at Foxhall if Kurtz can get 10 or so

55-35…. Brady shouldn’t be beaten 18 points Cook and Blodorn 9 each Kildemand 7 Tate 8 Cairns 4 For us Tom 7 King 6 Lawson 5 Nicholls 2 Musielek 9 PHB 2 Edwards 4 Lets see if im close or hopefully a million miles away lol

Poole have definitely got a better guest for Lawson than Berwick have for Kildemand Can see Poole winning this by 20 Etheridge and Jenkins got 1 between them last time at Poole and Palovaara got 8 from 6 Should be a walk in the park

Fully expected this result Belle Vue have built their team to win well at home like any team would They have riders like Blodorn Tate and Cook and to a lesser extent Kildemand who don’t go well away If those 4 can up their game away from home Belle Vue should win the league However over 2 legs I would fancy Sheffield more as they have riders in the Holder brothers and Pickering who go well at Belle Vue and can keep the away leg to 10 or so

Northampton don’t have a number one bit like us at Ipswich so the team is built strength in depth

Leicester often get beat fairly heavily at Belle Vue and then win easily at home

Belle Vue should hit 60 comfortably tonight … got 57 in the cup when missing home track experts Kurtz and Blodorn

Oh I agree her definitely does …. One ex witch was very vocal in telling people how much help both Doyle and Emil were in the pits regarding set ups and overall morale ….. the same ex witch said a certain side he rode for the top boys offered no help and kept themselves to themselves and the team morale was low …. It wasn’t Belle Vue but I will let you work it out …. im sure Doyle will help Tate and cairns no end

We understand why it just makes a mockery of it all and the championship is boring because of it No issues with Doyle going Belle Vue … obviously you haven’t read the Belle Vue thread … bit thick commenting before finding facts

It’s not rocket science the Poole track is awful …. I’m an Ipswich fan and ours is no better…. Just the simple fact is Poole fans can’t accept it They always build a title side and they are happy being a big fish in a small pond and the crowd don’t care about the racing it’s only about winning Poole should be in the top league but they don’t want to be while they can just scoop up all the talent in the lower league … you would think the fans would want more after glory years they had

Do you think Doyle will have a better away average than Bewley would have done? I’m not sure

I know ….. all those years at Ipswich when he really only wanted to ride for Belle Vue He may get close to that average as he currently has no big injuries to ride his way back from like he did the last 2 seasons and now he is 40 I’m sure he will be just as good as he was in 2022 before he had those big crashes and age definitely isn’t a factor At least now you finally have a heat leader who will know his way around Foxhall and if you are up against a full witches 1-7 (which for once you was last season) then you may be able to finally win over 2 legs

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
