Racin Jason 72

I think the difference is the witches fans had low expectations and Peterborough’s original team was far stronger than what they ended up with.

Jimmy nilsen went to live in America I believe

Sheffield used to be a brilliant track as did kings lynn but both seem to be a shadows of their former glories. I think the bikes are now going flat out and the older tracks are too narrow with the greater speeds Belle Vue has proved on the right shape and size brilliant racing can be produced but unfortunately all of the old stadiums have size constraints. Somerset and Scunthorpe are both brilliant tracks built in wide open spaces. Won’t mention Leicester

Yes quite considerably up which I’m surprised about. We have a team that works as a team and although we won’t be topping the table we are getting lots of effort and entertainment. I think we will do well at home and get several thrashings away.

Bang on. But you won’t find a nicer guy and he is a really good captain. I watched Danny since he was 15 at mildenhall and the negatives are he doesn’t look round or team ride. However the positives outweigh all that and I’m happy we have him at Ipswich.

Danny can’t team ride to save his life. Doesn’t ever look behind til the 4th lap. He tried a few seasons ago at Ipswich and got passed so doesn’t bother anymore

What happened to the contract that got sent in the post ??? Must have sent it via pigeon

Why is bomber not supposed to be riding ? Injuries from Eastbourne I presume

He isn’t a heat leader anymore according to Bluster

I remember nki riding for Lynn under waggy aged 19. Looked similar but learned his trade at Newport and gradually became a fantastic rider.

We won’t be planting any sour grapes this year. Seems to be a surplus of those in kings Lynn

Nice of Simon Lambert to ride instead of Robert

There are no heat leaders out there who are prepared to ride in the U.K. for the money on offer. All this nonsense about wanting fixed race nights so they could return here is rubbish. Simple facts are if you matched or bettered the money offered in Sweden or Poland they would be queued up to return. And those days are long gone.

How was the crowd for a Sunday compared to Thursdays ?

Kasper golomski is looking for a U.K. mechanic.

Promoters need to stick to a budget. Can’t afford to lose any more clubs. Cookie is obviously expensive to employ but no rider is bigger than the club.

Whilst I feel sorry for you guys didn’t I say this two months ago that ged broke the wage ceiling on two of his heat leaders and they were going to have to ride for busters rate or find somewhere else to ride. I got loads of stick and told I was making it up. I accept your apologies

Is the stadium up for sale ? Just read that on the save Coventry speedway Facebook page.

Actually both Poole and kings Lynn broke the rules in the final using illegal guests but they changed the rule the previous day so that’s ok

Well worth the sleepless night!!!!!! Wonder who is next lol

John has given Sterling service to Ipswich speedway as a rider and as a promoter. Genuinely humble and a top guy. I think he should be nominated for a MBE or OBE. Not sure how you go about that but perhaps someone out there can advise as John really does deserve to be recognised. A genuine legend.

Excellent news.

My club Ipswich has gone from being one of the first to announce the team in one go in November to being the last to sort the team. Social media interaction was very good previously and that’s changed for the worse. Its 2019 not 1978. People can access information instantly and expect to so why drag out announcements on riders. I could accept one per day for a week but this is crazy. You are alienating your regular customers for what ??

Bang on the money.

Biggest mistake British speedway made was to abolish compulsory junior teams.
