As an Ipswich fan I think Dickson is the best manager in the league … he isn’t the promoter he doesn’t pick the 1-7 although he has some input ….. he definitely didn’t want Kemp or Joe T

Leicester lost the best rider in the league and Becker and replaced them with Dan T and Morris ….. Joe Thompson simply isn’t good enough at this level

Obviously Harris is no replacement for Kurtz but Brady only scored 4 and 9 at Sheffield last season and Blodorn 2 and 1 so they aren’t huge losses Aces clearly weak as usual away from home

I don’t think anyone is hammering Cairns … over reaction from Belle Vue fans…… I thought Mulford would be a much better better option Belle Vue rely on winning big at home but Sheffield kept it tight with their 3 heat leaders only getting less than 7 each If Sheffield stay fit should be champions in my opinion

Absolute garbage which is unusual for Belle Vue Belle Vue same old story will often win at home but lose away Unsure why they went for cairns while currently Mulford is a better rider

It is what it is just happy they are coming to the tapes They look a bit like us at Ipswich …. Lidsey isn’t a number one by any stretch of the imagination A team that is solid to a point but lol the weakest but as I say good to see them at the tapes

Belle Vue to win the home leg but Sheffield on aggregate as Belle Vue have built a side that the top 2 apart can’t ride away tracks

We can clearly see the team will be weak but at least we have a team and a club Maybe even Belle Vue will scrape a win at Foxhall this season lol

The team was signed ages ago Brennan Nicholls Lawson King Musielek Edwards It’s either Thorsell or Jeppesen at number 6 as there have been issues with Thorsell

Brennan , Nicholls, King , Lawson Musielek , Thorsell and Edwards Team Manager Paul Hurry

I remember being at the best pairs at Hackney maybe 1986? And Sam Fox was presenting the trophies … little old me was very pleased lol

Of course you want those 2 back … in the worlds elite and great to watch at the NSS and would have loved Dan at Ipswich … not so much Kurtz

Of course I know that but sometimes you can replace a rider with one that might improve to get his average close to what the outgoing rider averaged ….. can’t see that at all with Kildemand And as mentioned a team that struggles away

Replacing Lidsey with Kildemand shows that the team is much weaker this season Absolute guaranteed entertainment but nothing to address the fact the team can’t ride away from home and ultimately that will be their downfall

Yep thanks for that would love a heat leader at Ipswich whose average has gone DOWN each season at Foxhall when in reality it should be going the other way Luke Becker by those stats clearly rides Foxhall much better than Lidsey though every Ipswich fan knows that … and has got better there year on year Musielek on his first visit to Foxhall last season scored poorly with bike troubles …. On his second visit got 7 from 5 riding at number 1….. a score Lidsey matched once in 4 visits last season riding at the easier number 3 berth …. So yes thanks for posting cold hard stats without any bias that clearly shows that Lidsey would be a bang average signing at best

Lidsey would be an awful signing the guy can’t ride our place why would you sign a rider hoping he can improve at your track when clearly he can’t do that He would have the odd good race when he pops out the start because the guy can’t pass wind How average over 7.5 is inflated because he goes well at the NSS Must be better options out there surely If he signs for us I would give him 100% support but I think it would be an awful signing

Might improve his riding on technical tracks if he came to us but I doubt we would sign someone who can’t ride Foxhall

Loram must have been around 5 as he rode at number 6

Belle Vue definitely kept the best team rider in Bewley over Kurtz Kurtz may well be chasing individual glory again and like last season let his club side down which is understandable If I was a Belle Vue fan I wouldn’t want a number one who at the business end of the season doesn’t try

All of those can ride Foxhall apart from Lidsey so I would not want him on his high average when he can’t ride the home track in the right team and the right set up I’d take any of the others Rumours that Jenkins is Lynn bound

Thats a daft statement to make he was a deserving world champion he scored the most points over the series You can take away some of Rickardssons titles then when he would have gate 1 followed by gate 1 and then gate one and then first pick

You are entitled to your opinion and I’m entitled to disagree Nothing against Joe he was supreme to watch and I would cheer for him every race at those early 1990’s British , commonwealth and overseas finals an awesome rider The record books will show he wasn’t quite at Lorams level and it could be argued he should have achieved more We was at Odsal in 1992 and how victory against a world class field in the riders championship was amazing to see

No you are wrong … Mark rode for Hackney in the top league in 1987 Hackney dropped down in 1988 and Mark dropped down with them In 1989 the Hackney promotion moved to Ipswich and Mark Chris and Moggo went as well Mark then moved to Kings Lynn in 1990 as a reserve … we went to his first meeting at home to Reading where Mark top scored with 19 I believe from 7 rides …. The only Reading rider to beat him was their new number 7…. Todd Wiltshire

Mark Loram rode in the top league in 1987 averaging over 5 as a 16 year old Mark then dropped down for 2 seasons before becoming Kings Lynn number 1 in 1990 averaging almost 8 Screen started in 1989 at 17 and for 2 seasons averaged mid 6 Screen was excellent motorcyclist but was never really as good as Loram

Let’s just hope the Poole track doesn’t ruin Cooper … best young rider I’ve seen for a long time but isn’t a renowned gater and I can easily see his away average being higher than his home one
