No he hasn’t

Riders never seem at all keen to do it on recent seasons, don’t think the modern machinery copes with it well, can’t imagine it’s a worthwhile payday to offset a blown engine! Would be good to see it return tho and or the star of anglia individual meeting

Started on 6.16 finished on 5.67 in prem started on 7.97 finished on 7.57 in champ having been almost 7 point rider in top flight and almost 10 in champ he’s improved towards the end of the season but has definitely had a poor season by his standards, especially seeing how good a level he’d reached 3 years ago when riding in World Cup for team gb before the bad leg break

Can see several from this season being retained, for me I want to be entertained at home and see some riders with potential to improve 1. Niels/klindt 2. heeps/howarth 3. riss/Wilson-dean/Allen 4. wright/ellis 5. king/klindt/musielak 6. allen/covatti/piezczek/becker 7. Perks/Pickering/Douglas/kemp/garrity People saying nicholls at reserve would be good...maybe but tbh I think he’s gone backwards this year for a reason, he’s getting older, it catches up with everyone eventually - can’t see him all of a sudden putting 2-3 points back on his average next year

£20000 was the figure I saw quoted as owed the other day regarding the loss of sponsorship with the carpet company, can’t find where I saw it again now - if the club has lost a further £20000 over the season questions surely have to asked of how the business is being run and how much they’re paying riders etc.

Winners make their own luck trolls live in fantasy land

You can say that as many times as you want but they got there on merit beating everyone else to a playoff spot and knocking Poole out in the semi Can’t wait for Poole to drop down a tier next season, hopefully you and the other Poole trolls can head off elsewhere on the forum too

Can someone just give Pearson the bolt gun now, keep banging on about ipswich getting 6 5-0’s ffs

Our boys already looking dejected, gonna be tough to reach anything respectable now

He guessed it and got lucky, wasn’t rolling just anticipated and took a chance

I think we’re outperforming the broadcast thus far

It was £20000 the other day

Entry to first turn looks nearly as bumpy as poole

is king actually better than heeps these days??

As good as he is at Foxhall - No thanks to Cook - makes everything about himself and only applies a good attitude when it suits! how about a danish revolution and Niels klindt and k.bjerre

I think Jake Allen is nailed on to be back so won’t include him in my three, how about a danish revolution in Ipswich niels, klindt and k.bjerre

How awful would it be if shovlar was proven right and it’s actually the most one sided final ever

two races gone 2-10 the score, the tie is poised at 51-51, kelvin tatums head has exploded sending nige into a meltdown of all meltdowns, heat 3 play off bomber finally appears and breaks the swindon track record en route to a famous victory for the Witches!! c'mon boys its only halftime, glass is half full, lets get at em! *off to take my medicine now

Adam for sure has a lot more ability - only 23 if he gets his head properly focussed still could see him reaching Grand Prix one day.... just depends on the drive and focus

Niels, klindt, king, Allen, Heeps, covatti, perks adds up to exactly 42.5 by my reckoning - would be happy with that next season! *all hypothetical team building in my mind works on the premise of a 5 man team build with Danny and Heeps automatically there....! please note that being said I would have Heeps back anyway next year as I think he’s made a big leap this year and with another hard working winter could improve again further next season, particularly needs to work on gating and away form but he’s superb at Foxhall and seems to have a nice understanding with niels on track already. I like Danny he’s a top lad and a good rider but I personally would like to maybe see another younger rider in his place that could potentially improve his average, I think Danny has been at the same level for sometime now - if you could find that 6. Something man that could push up onto 7.5+ that would be the key, with improvement also there in Allen, perks and maybe Heeps. musielak could be one - rides Foxhall well but think he’s likely giving uk a miss next year chatting to Swindon fans on the the terraces Tuesday night incidentally Becker is the same average as covatti and with a look to youth would pick him over nico but can’t see wolves not having him there next year

Fair enough all matters of opinion, from my perspective niels was winning two races that were rerun, in both reruns the opposing riders got big flyers that should have been pulled back particularly Musielak, and as we saw last night those that got put in front mostly stayed there.

Yep fair point, there’s wasn’t really anything wrong with the track prep last night, it was lovely and smooth and consistent, just doesn’t suit our boys like that! need a largely different team next year if that’s the way moving forward.

Why are you hating on niels? Was leading two races that got pulled back otherwise would’ve been 14 points tonight - can’t do it all on his own! danny a big let down

Can’t understand why the track wasn’t prepared much heavier with a greater home advantage in mind! had the luck against us tonight at times with people falling when we’re on heat advantages twice and the reruns ending up the other way, but being honest if you put the 1-7 against each other I think most would agree only jake is the stronger rider against his opposite number in Vissing, Swindon are now likely champions and credit to them a very good team, enjoy it because you’ll be losing a few to fit it in again next year! heres hoping for witches 5-1’s in the opening 2 heats Thursday to level the tie and get things interesting!!

One of your most sensible posts ever Steve!! I’m not on top of the stadium, as the crow flies I possibly live 12 miles away or so but I’m pretty sure the stadium will be very similar, I’ve had 38mm of rain in my gauge since Friday but it’s supposedly dry all day today! Covers over the past couple of days would’ve meant they can then prepare a decent track today while it’s dry for tonight’s meeting
