  1. If this is the case, it’s another positive move from them. Being able to glance up and watch a replay of incidents that you couldn’t quite see in realtime or simply a replay of an excellent race/overtake is excellent for supporters.
  2. This has been an ongoing theme since they took over. They’ve clearly made a very good impression on the riders particularly who haven’t been short of praise for the way they’re handling things. The insurance issue being the biggest one. That won’t have gone unnoticed to riders everywhere and you’ll now find the new promotion won’t be short of offers from riders asking to ride for them. Riders will now be aware it’s a place where they’ll be well looked after and the promotion will deserve the rewards from that. Early days still of course, but it’s been an excellent start from them so fair play to them.
  3. Funny how he’s laid claim on Brennan being an “Ace” and wants his club to take credit for him, or any other rider that has ridden for them, developing well 🙄 If anyone can legitimately take credit for that it’s Eastbourne.
  4. That may be but it was good to see him there nonetheless. Andrew Chisholm has been assigned as general manager and in charge of day to day running so he doesn’t need to be there himself. If anything, he may have been a little TOO hands on! Seemed from the footage he was picking the riders for heat 15! Pretty sure that’s the managers job! They may have already been selected though and he was just giving the two a word of encouragement.
  5. And you got four likes well done LOL. How many riders suffer injuries? The answer is ALL of them. Zischke returned on the bare minimum 3 average, what was the British rider sacrificed averaging before he was sent on the scrap heap? Kerr (another Brit) was also told to fu*k off. Ah good old Belle Vue. The hose wanderers who can flood a track to get meetings called off because a fixture doesn’t suit them.
  6. Or, perhaps clubs abroad already know what we don’t and he’s lost whatever early promise he showed early on in his career? Was it solely the suspension that put clubs off or was it something else? We’re about to find out I guess.
  7. Completely out of character for him, he’ll soon revert to type. And to think the bastions of British Speedway that only ever do things for the greater good of the sport, riders, and other clubs while disregarding their own ambitions and aspirations to do well, sacked a young British rider for this clown.
  8. I was talking specifically about this year and Ipswich certainly WERE forced in to go “strength in depth” due to the nature of the prolonged takeover. Mayfield have publicly said they spoke to several GP riders but none could make themselves available. In that sense, they WERE forced in to building in a different way. They had no other choice.
  9. But that’s to be expected away from home because that’s the way Ipswich have been forced to build their team. You’ll see that type of scoring from those riders quite often this year. You say “collectively they weren’t great”, but “Collectively” those ordinary looking scores all totted up nicely to a meeting winning result.
  10. Eh? You say you never said Fricke was the problem and then go on to explain exactly why Fricke IS the problem in the very same post. That hole looks deep enough, you can stop digging.
  11. If my Aunt had a pair of b0llocks and all that. IF Musielak repeated his 17 pointer haul on one of his visits last year (capable) Lynn would have been obliterated. IF Bangs had more time to settle in to racing in this Country it wouldn’t have even gone to the last heat etc etc. The fact is Lynn never looked like winning either meeting and had to use a tactical on their own track against a team many has tipped for the Wooden Spoon! They’ll improve and get better results as the season goes on sure, but they’re not even close to competing for that elusive title you’ve never won.
  12. I’ll just repost this from page one of this thread. They started with Fricke and then got it all wrong. Only two trophies available and they’re already out of one of them. They’re going to have to change one of the middle men and either Rushen, or move Rushen to rising star and remove Scott and find a couple of 4-5 pointers. Do nothing and they won’t even make the play offs.
  13. I’m not a “Witches” fan. Why would I be worried? I couldn’t really care less if Ipswich win lose or draw! My team closed many moons ago.
