Too much of Danny’s ippo career the expectations on him have been higher than his level, he’s never been a proper 1 or 5 in the top league but he’s had to be that and then overly criticised when come up short - now he’s not got the burden of those unrealistic expectations should go along quite nicely this season. Hawkins made a good point with king riding at 2 the majority of his rides come earlier in the meeting on a grippier track which will suit him also Great start last night for him and the team 😃

Good shout on the 10 point margin 😃🤣

I think Rew holds the key tonight, if he hits the ground running could be the difference maker in a close meeting

Same here tbh, personally feel it appears much more of a professional team having a team suit Can’t say I find it difficult really, so long as you know who’s in red/blue on your team etc in each race its easy enough to follow

Madness! Bit like the town playing in blue every year! 🙃

Bags of ability but he’s completely lacking confidence, was shutting off before the first corner afraid to mix it, KL fans shouldn’t expect to much of him too soon no but I think it’s a fair expectation for him to contend first turns

Don’t remember lidsey ever looking particularly fast or comfortable at Foxhall tbh - maybe wrong. Blodorn has done an ok job as a second string/reserve for the most part

Bewley can be up and down at Foxhall despite being quoted last year as saying he loves racing round there just doesn’t seem to score consistently. kurtz for me has been the best away rider at Foxhall for a good few years now tbh

Tbf a thread on here for restaurant recommendations near all the tracks for travelling fans wouldn’t be the worst thing would it!

Cheers will give it a look 👌

Any recommendations for a pub lunch relatively local to the track before Niels meeting on Sunday?

Anyone know when press and practise day is this year?

Very good line up for the Ben fund meeting this year, don’t think the 2010 lineup at rye house will ever be topped tho! https://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/7075/fund-bonanza-house-14th-march

Keynan’s gating has largely been what’s held his progress back in his two years at Foxhall tbh, but back end of season and in playoffs it has markedly improved for sure, keep that up and he’ll be looking for some big scalps this year

Even if it’s a one sided pasting it’s in poole’s interest financially I’d imagine to run it, will get a big home gate for the visit of the holders and woffy

Piotr Pawlicki for 1 🤣

I’ve thought Brady has been the best away rider to visit Ipswich for a few seasons now, he’s a good bit better round Foxhall than the likes of fricke/jack holder. Woffiden was pretty impressive on his first return in 15 years or so I must say too. in terms of riding at Ipswich tho? Wouldn’t swap Emil or Doyle for anyone

Vuolas great entertainment, decent reserve with some improvement in him, zischke will be in the Grand Prix by his mid twenties

Is there a rider you don’t think is on a downward arc? Nothing to suggest Lawson will be anything but a continued solid rider and he’s better round Lynn than anywhere else, king Lynn look a solid outfit, potential for a couple to make a step forward to higher level and several seasoned riders, avoiding injuries will be key but I rate them above Leicester for sure

Don’t agree thorsell is on a downward arc, rode well in the SoN at belle vue last summer beating lots of big names helping Freddie and Sweden to a bronze medal, scored 10 coming fifth in the gp challenge also narrowly missing out on qualification having one bad ride in the meeting

*My girlfriend and I

The amount of times Ipswich’s reserves out scored the away teams reserves by a significant amount last season I’d say points throughout the team win matches

Also does Pearson have dual citizenship? I’m not sure but I thought he rode in the national league?

Looking forward to brummies visit to Foxhall, Zagar has alway been a classy rider despite what some say on here.

You’ve previously claimed rew was unceremoniously dumped on the scrapheap by Ipswich - merely using your words to point out same can be said for Ben cook 👍 also One further point - you said if you’re rational then facts should affect opinions, Chris Louis stated rew left mostly for his own reasons yet you continue to slander Louis and Ipswich claiming he was unfairly sacked. Sounds like some contradiction that or are you not rational?
