Ipswich Witches v Leicester Lions - Thursday, 22nd May
MP78 replied to tocha's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Think the 6 man Witches will take this by 10-12 points tonight -
BIRMINGHAM v IPSWICH Mon 19th May PL2
MP78 replied to Brummies_Ste's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Yes, the Witches will definitely be under pressure at reserve which leaves the top 4 to try and get this over the line for them.... Enter the real Emil... hopefully -
Belle Vue v Leicester Monday 19th May Live on TV

Belle Vue to win, but I have a feeling Leicester will keep the score respectable. -
Sheffield v Ipswich Thursday 15th May

Brennan's scores are definitely iffy at Owlerton, but he did manage to score a paid max guesting for the Tigers last season... so lets hope that version of TB turns up on Thursday 🤞 -
I've always tried to be optimistic about speedway in the UK despite the many challenges the sport faces, but after watching Monday's meeting, I felt like I had shelled out almost £30 (took my son and got a programme) and got a very poor spectacle in return. For the casual fan who attended because it was a bank holiday meeting, I would not be surprised if the vast majority of them do not return, which is sadly an opportunity lost. Yes the diehards will remain and Ipswich are very lucky to have the fan base they do, but if this is the case at other tracks (which I think we know it is), then the sport will continue to rapidly decline. I enjoy going to speedway first and foremost for the racing and the thrill of it all... but I also go for the sounds, the smell, and the memories of going as a youngster. The casual fan won't necessarily have any interest in the sounds, smell and memories, so you have got to hook them in with the racing and the thrill of it.... I just hope that Ipswich's attempt to dominate the sport this year doesn't inadvertently create an inferior product which not only switches off the new/casual fans, but also the existing fans too.

Agree, can only see a comfortable home win here

Ipswich v Birmingham 24th April

For those planning to tune in via BSN tonight... I have checked and BSN have confirmed that they will be showing the Billy Sanders champion of the meeting heats as part of their coverage. Good news 😀 -
Ipswich v Oxford Thursday 10th April
MP78 replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Tungate, Wright and Sedgmen solid round Foxhall... the rest have very limited experience of the place... Witches win 60-30 for me. -
Ipswich v Belle Vue 27th March KOC 2nd leg
MP78 replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Kurtz seems to have continued his great form from the end of last season and agree that he is the main threat for BV... I wouldn't be surprised if he beats Doyle a couple of times, which is saying something at Foxhall. Overall though expect the Witches to hit at least 50. -
BIRMINGHAM v LEICESTER Mon 24th March KO Cup 1st Leg
MP78 replied to Brummies_Ste's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I think away win too, but expecting it to be close -
I hadn't fully appreciated the averages for the Spires this - 2.9 under! Sweeping changes by May perhaps?
-
He's won it a few times, so hopefully BV will want to get him involved again 🤞
-
Tungate Janowski Wright Kildemand Riss Gusts Killeen
-
I was going to ask about his average... Surely 10 years on will see it reassessed, won't it?
-
Have management given any indication of when the final signing will be announced?
-
Cue Justin Sedgmen?
-
I'd disagree slightly with that... Tungate and Janowski would probably be more than a match for Lynn riders at the AFA
-
I agree - an opportunity missed
-
Tungate at number 1 then
-
Yeah, true… not my best suggestion 🤣
-
Have they managed to get it reassessed to 5, so they can then bring in a number one on an 8?
-
If Nicholls can't get it right, then Tatum has no chance! 😂
