It’s a disgraceful effort from Kurtz …. Gate 1 easily been the best gate and he didnt even try …. Shut off going round turn 1 and let Ellis go past Who will Belle Vue put in heat 15 Blodorn and Lidsey?

Here comes the usual 1-5 in heat 8 lol

Twice tonight Ipswich been on a 5-1 and lost the re run to a 3-3

Not saying the Poole decision was right or wrong or pre determined But season after season with Poole this topic comes up Are all the fans of the other clubs wrong everytime No smoke without fire

We must get this on tomorrow night …. We don’t want Kurtz coming back to us as world champ and Bewley world number 3 as they will both have sky high confidence

They aren’t useless but Zischke and Mulford not really up to it at this level For me Blodorn is your biggest disappointment

I doubt many Ipswich fans would go to Manchester on a Monday night with the home leg on Thursday and who can blame them … same maybe said for Belle Vue on Thursday they might not travel as it isn’t the final

Thing is it could be bad weather …. But Poole have done this sort of thing so many times that it’s expected and nobody believes them anymore A lot of Pooles titles are tarnished slightly and the constant bending of the rules to suit happens most seasons

You keep saying you are amazed the Aces won which is absolute tosh You have the world number 2 and 3 who fly at home and although they can score 28 they are usually good for 25 Lidsey and Cook are usually good for 16 between them at home That’s 41 which leaves 3 riders to score 5 between them to win at home I admit that bottom 3 are poor but to say teams should be winning at your track is garbage

Emil couldn’t get off the start and I don’t know why but the track was poor tonight and if you were behind against the top guys you ain’t catching them

Doyle and Emil average gone down and everyone else has gone up

I think the Brady Kurtz earlier in the season may have done more that’s all … not saying he didn’t ride well

I think he could have done more … just my opinion

I know play offs can be different but we have won by 14 and 22 in the league when both times Belle Vue used a tac sub which resulted in a 5-1 to them and no tac subs this time As an Ipswich fan if we lose this from here we deserve all the stick we will rightly receive

As expected Kurtz wasn’t exactly busting a gut or getting to close to Doyle there We surely can’t throw this away against one of the worst sides to visit us this season … but this is Ipswich lol

On what basis

Surely Belle Vue go gates 2 and 4 here

So last time we was told that Lidsey missing and r/r getting 5 was the reason Ipswich won …. Well at least he matched it tonight …. He has cost Belle Vue tonight I think

4-2 to us in heat 12 and a 3-3 in heat 14 (Ellis for Edwards) means if we concede two 5-1’s in heats 13 and 15 we lose by 10 and that’s easily getable Must say the racing has been poor tonight

I’m still adamant Lidsey and Cook tonight hold the key to the meeting Keep these two to a combined score of 14 or less and job done

I think 12 is easily getable back at foxhall No tac subs allowed and twice at Foxhall Belle Vue have bought Kurtz in as tac sub and got two 5-1’s…. They can’t in this

So here we are the first leg tonight If we at Ipswich don’t get through to the final we have choked …. We got the skid final we wanted against a team we have dominated over 2 legs all season Play offs can throw up shocks and this could be won or lost tonight Kurtz and Bewley can get the maximum 28 points in this … Bewley gets better as the night goes on and the track line goes right to the fence…. Kurtz although with his mind elsewhere, will score heavy no doubt For me tonight is all about Lidsey and Cook… if these 2 can add 16 points minimum then Ipswich are in trouble We need to keep this to 14 as we have dominated them at Foxhall and the fact they can’t use Bewley or Kurtz as a tac sub is a help At Foxhall the most the top 2 have scored combined is 18 and with Kurtz having the last GP 2 days after I can’t see him taking any risks … if he makes the gate he won’t be caught but if he doesn’t he might not take a risk Hoping for 14 or less defeat tonight … anymore an I think it’s to much

This will be won or lost at Belle Vue depending on how week Ipswich do against Lidsey and Cook Kurtz and Bewley I’d expect 27 points from Blodorn and the reserves 11 between them maybe That’s 38 Keep Lidseys and Cooks combined scores to 12 and it’s game on

Putting Brennan at 5 is huge risk Is this Ipswich trying to nullify Lidsey a bit? Comes up against Doyle twice and Emil once so maybe Ipswich hoping that they can restrict his impact a bit …. But it leaves us vulnerable in other heats

We have comfortably beat Belle Vue over 2 legs everytime this season but now that counts for nothing Belle Vue are the only side in the play offs that could beat anyone by 20 points at home The thing is they can’t ride Foxhall as well as the other 2 in the play offs but if Cook and Blodorn can get 8 between them at Foxhall we might be in trouble Also Kurtz must surely have one eye on the GP….. if he gates at either track he won’t be caught but at home he can take more risks as he has wide open spaces to make moves … if he misses the gate at Foxhall will he bust a gut to try and overtake ….. not saying he won’t ride his hardest but it has to be a concern
