Belle Vue -V- Ipswich POSF leg 1
89buttons replied to PhilTheAce's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
It’s pairings, had Dan T remained at 6 Doyle would’ve been at 5 and Tom/adam 3&4 -
On the latest rolling averages Rew is 6.11 and Ellis 6.02 so average doesn’t fit
-
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

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

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

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.

What’s the weather like in Ipswich? miserable at work in southwold -
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

Ipswich Witches v Belle Vue 10th July
89buttons replied to blue witch's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
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. -

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! 🙄🤣 -

So why’s Foord not allowed to ride? He’s English isn’t he so doesn’t need a visa 🙃 -

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? -
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! 🤣🤣🤣

King's Lynn v Ipswich KO Cup SF 1st leg 02/06/25
89buttons replied to Bagpuss's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Honestly I don’t think they would, from what I see a huge percentage of them lack bike control and track craft, they are good at going fast on big wide open tracks when there’s not other riders near and all have really fast bikes - too fast tbh which has led to some big crashes and several senior riders getting completely wiped out by young kids riding machines too powerful for their skill set and just getting launched all over the place when they catch a small bit of grip or a bump. -
Accept he didn’t pass him he rode into him 🤣

Ipswich Witches v Leicester Lions - Thursday, 22nd May
89buttons replied to tocha's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
We lost that meeting out of the gate simple as that, always going to be hard to cover the loss of Doyle and Dan but we were consistently beaten from the gate all night which isn’t good enough at home, fair play to Leicester they rode well all night, Luke Becker in particular best gating I’ve seen from him he was very impressive all night. brennan and Emil both seem to be having bike troubles/lack of confidence in their equipment, neither looking happy or anywhere near as fast as we know them to be when at their best, needs addressing by the business end of the season. In match report Richie says he’s hopeful we could have one or both injured boys back for next league meeting which is June 12th which is promising, that may come too soon of course but if that’s a possibility hopefully we’ll be back to full strength in June sometime
