Not sure Connor & Danyon will cope with Ashley & Carl !

As previously said, the fastest lines on the bends was on the inside and we kept continually riding the outside line with no luck ...why didn't we learn There was no sling shots riding the outside on bends 2 and 4 and we kept leaving enough room on the inside to drive a bus through

If you "couldn't give a monkeys" who wins the competition then it makes it a bit pointless really, I am watching the competition in the hope that my team does well

You have missed my point completely, I'm hardly likely to watch drew and Jordan ride for Cradley am I ?? I love watching them ride - Its just daft having them in the same compeition for different clubs

Take your point Bruv, but its entertainment at the end of the day, whether it be Ipswich or Mildy, they need people to pay money at the gates and if the public think its pointless to see the same rider in two different teams in the same League they will vote with their feet...I'm not knocking Drew he's a super little lad but I think the powers that be ought to be looking at this and maybe making some choices...do they want people in numbers on the terraces or rider development, without fans there won't be any riders. Again i'm not knocking Cradley, but I just think they should be looking at unattached riders if they want to put a team in.

Quite right, its about time, that was ridiculous last Season

Thought the new commentator was pretty good last night in my opinion...upbeat, informative and good with the lads

I think give him a chance, lets see how he gets on, he sounds really enthusiastic and thats the main thing !

So are you saying that you don't think that they can put a set of seven riders together that don't already ride for another team ??

Gonna be a bit weird seeing Drew ride for Cradley as well as Mildy in the National Trophy competition, only this could happen in speedway ! just can't get my head round it....

Looks like the fans have got everything that they wanted: Rob Henry still helping the youngsters and Mildy will be defending the National Trophy....oh and concessions fixed at the same price, all looks promising this Season at West Row !

Rather have seen him get a team place then we would know for sure, At the end of the day seeing him ride in a normal fixture is a very different prospect from seeing him ride in finals when his other fixtures have finished early

Point is though Fuel Taps everyone has the same chance to get a team place....whose fault is that ? All I am simply saying is that "untested" rider's coming in at the last moment of the Season may not be a fair reflection of their genuine ability and no wonder people feel agrieved when they are changed for someone that does not go well at that particular track....i.e Josh G swap I love watching Scotty ride, he is a legend but it didn't seem right him coming in last Season and thats why alot of fans were upset, I'm not blaming him personally

Surely the whole point of speedway is to ride against each other, reach a point based system for each rider to provide a balanced set of rider's. If one rider suddenly drops down from a league he hasn't been riding in, especially when its a final, how can anyone judge whether its a fair replacement ? For example he was swapped last season for Josh G, who most people would suggest Foxhole is not his favourite track for an Ipswich specialist

Having a fair team is more important to most fans than whether a rider can earn some extra cash at the end of the Season in the Final's

For what its worth I think the BSPA have got it right....you ask alot of Ipswich fans what they thought of Scott coming in and riding in all the finals at the last minute last Season when not ridden previously regularly at the lower level ! Its quite simple..if he wants to ride CL, get a team place then we'll love to see him, but its not right to cherry pick the glory finals when the serious stuff starts just because his regular rides had finished.

What ?...how can that be fair, can't recall Scotty riding at all this Year in the Championship !

Its a tough ask for Ipswich, but I've seen it done before in a Play Off Final, a few 5-1's and its all to play for, but I think if we have got Tom Bacon again its an up hill task...

All these mind games about rider's not being fully fit is trying to lull Ippo into a false sense of security...Sheff. will all come out with all guns blazing I recon

Really should have bin alot more of a lead but the rain def. went in Boro's favour, we threw away loads of points and looked like Smiling Sam played a mind game on Schleiny when the rain hit (pretended he was all for pulling out at the line and then went off like a train for four laps !) and all in all it cost Ippo dearly, but we'll see if its enough !

Weather forecast looking better now.....

Obviously you don't know him............

Thought Rob Chandler was quite good last night The music was a bit better, but I would like to see the whole starting music changed ...its been the same for Years, come on guys lets have a bit more artistic interpretation next season ?

Surely the advertised time should be when the "event" starts, if you were new to the sport and you got there 15 minutes after the riders had been presented and you would think you were late !...na its fine as it is and thats the way it should be I don't see why all of these people from other clubs keep making remarks on what Ippo do, and as for numbers on the terraces, ok they can be alot better but I think they are pretty good this Season as a whole and ceratinly alot better than most clubs...

Think you are right on this one Baldy, it needs some new young blood, someone to make it feel like our home stadium and not so kind to the opposition all the time Lets get the presentation a bit more orientated to the younger generation rather than the Radio Suffolk listener's, that goes for the music too...lets be honest its hardly exciting, we had the muppets the other week..what about some upbeat tunes pumping out. I don't mind the old ones if they are classics but some of the stuff wasn't even any good when it was first made !
