  1. Captains job, pulled up his big boy pants, puffed his chest out and spoke to the cameras despite clearly wanting to scream and shout and break things out the back in frustration at getting so close and falling short. you’d think the team manager would/should want to stand up and be counted on camera praising the efforts of his lads and telling the fans in the stadium and at home how proud he is of his team - obviously not made of the same stuff as picko

  3. Hi Leicester crew, should Leicester make the final we’ll be coming up to visit for the first time so after some info on parking (which I’m pretty sure has been discussed at length before but rather than trawl through old threads thought I’d just ask) stadium has a car park but not very big? Can park for 4 hours at the shopping centre or you could but now can’t? Are the general things I seem to remember reading but that could be a different track any advice be much appreciated
  4. It’s pairings, had Dan T remained at 6 Doyle would’ve been at 5 and Tom/adam 3&4
  5. On the latest rolling averages Rew is 6.11 and Ellis 6.02 so average doesn’t fit
  6. If Adam’s not fit Kildemand or Magic look the best guest options for the playoffs. Hope Adam is ok much prefer to use our own 1-7
  7. I’ve only ever been to Brandon once, dad took me to the Grand Prix challenge final I think 2009 not exactly sure of the year, holder hampel and zorro making it through to the Grand Prix, was an absolutely fantastic meeting, great racing and hotly contested all night, zorro was made of steel that night picked himself up off the deck 3 or 4 times to get the final win he needed to make the cut
  8. Amazed to see Becker being back I thought he was going to be out for the season! Glad he’s healed/healing well was having arguably his best season to date before the smash
  9. Could you kindly put forward a big bag or two of cash to purchase the stadium from the owners then the stock car promotion, and a few more bags of cash to completely alter the stadium with a bigger stock car track and bigger speedway track more suitable? don’t necessarily disagree with the points about the suitability of the track shape but you make it sound like negligence on the Ipswich promotions part that they’re not moving with the times and making the track much bigger with zero grasp of a realistic solution. louis has altered the track banking and shape 4-5 times over the past few years doing his best to try and improve the racing within the confines of the stock car track and while it’s still quite one dimensional when prepared well there’s opportunity to go deeper and find grip to pass last night it was pretty poorly prepared…again stabdinng just on the exit of second bend have watched riders hitting a hole/bump mid turn 1/2 all season, can’t understand how it’s not been dealt with, frustrating for the riders and frustrating to watch week in week out, that hole was what Doyle was out on track complaining about and highlighting to Hawkins in the grade break.
  10. What’s the weather like in Ipswich? miserable at work in southwold
  11. I’d like to see again too, like you say if I’m wrong hold my hands up but from our angle looked a stone wall decision
  12. Were you there tonight then? Curious you’ve travelled from Manchester to watch this meeting instead of down to Oxford to watch your own side?
  13. Witches were well below par tonight, but I’m sorry anyone who thinks Kerr’s move on Dan T was fair and square has got rose tinted glasses on, Dan passed him fair and square up the top turn and Kerr was probably still two bike lengths behind him going past the start finish and into the first turn bend 1 standing on the second bend exit myself and everyone around me were certain that there was contact including the kings Lynn fans beside us, as the rider in front Dan could’ve easily ridden across to the inside going into turn 1 lap 4 but knowing Kerr was coming steaming under him from miles back some self preservation ensued and he rode a little wider and was still sent tumbling. as the rider in front is entitled to ride where they want should he of chopped Kerr off and stood it up in front of him and made sure they both definitely crashed? it’s a shame for it to end on a crash and questionable as it was a closely fought tie between rival teams, and despite being below par tonight on their home track the witches still had a chance of winning the tie on aggregate having moved into a 5-1 in heat 14
  14. Kerr wiped Dan Thompson out leaving him in a tangled mess. Thompson excluded awarded 3-3 🤡 of a ref
  15. Disagree with that, Kurtz over the past few seasons has been the most impressive away rider around Foxhall. he had a bum meeting at the start of this season but the whole belle vue side were well out of sorts that night.
  16. Imagine if it was the other way round and kings Lynn weren’t allowed to use riders in the same way as Ipswich your lot would be in uproar! 🙄🤣
  17. So why’s Foord not allowed to ride? He’s English isn’t he so doesn’t need a visa 🙃
  18. Can’t understand the Workington lads being blocked from guesting, not their fault their champ club is having difficulties is it, the two young lads riding elsewhere in another league tonight would make zero difference to that situation, how’s it different to ziscke riding for belle vue?
  19. Think the early call off shows the witches were worried the forecast of it raining all day would be true…news flash it was 🤣
  20. It’s unsettling how balanced and pragmatic this post is, I fear if the forum continues in this vein the space time continuum may implode… quick someone say something to rebalance it - like why don’t Ipswich get artem laguta over for 28 days, he’s got bikes ready and waiting for the call to come! 🤣🤣🤣
