Manifesto

Much needed win for us. Edwards and Gilkes have been really mixing it every meeting now which is key for us in the play offs, if Pickering and Howarth show up on the same night we are unbeatable. same old story for Birmingham unfortunately not all 7 riders putting the needed points down for a win. Leon Flint should be beating Gilkes and Edwards on his own track he seems to be going backwards after a good start to the season. the track was shocking compared to earlier in the season the outside line just wasn’t there which resulted in poor racing

Heat 13 unreal race, and Pickos pass in heat 15 was top draw. soon as Basso crashed out was only going to be a hammering. Kvech and NKI did KL proud last night held it together for the team

Think even before injury he knew his gp days were done. Possible retirement from international speedway?

Jack and Tai scored 17+1 between them on the last visit I’m not sure we can make those numbers up tonight. Expecting 4 from Batchelor and a 12 point loss

Agreed. He’s made them look silly

Lewis Kerr 18 point max incoming with Woffy and Jack we win this.. without them 16 point loss sad to say

An absolute sickener seeing Woffy have that fall. He has arguably been our best rider this year and cannot be replaced for what he brings to the team. I hope the injuries are not too serious

Would have defo been a close one on aggregate but would of fancied Sheffield still

A very easy win for Sheffield in the end. Not much fight in the patched up KL side except from a fantastic Anders Rowe, heat 4 he did everything right to keep Woffy behind him. Kvech showed some class and looked better each race. NKI tried but couldn’t lay a glove on the tigers heatleaders. The guests cost them the final in the end all 3 were very poor. Jack Holder on another level tonight, Woffy and Chris almost on that level. Great to see Kyle back to his old self, really come good last few weeks. not sure why Pickering was so angry with Gilkes in heat 14, he’d been struggling for speed all night just needs to put it behind him and move on to the next

Lawson and Zach Cook.. decent guests to be fair. But not as good as Klindt and Tobi who would probably be worth 20 points between them

Sheffield to win by 14.. Jack and Woffy 5-1’s in 13 and 15 to bring the house down

Some great racing. Fricke and Bewley absolutely flying worth the watch. Yes the crowd looked poor which was a surprise with the weather. BV need to keep that kind of form up if they’re going to challenge the top 2

Tigers way too good for BV tonight. Bewley been class in both meetings at Owlerton this year

50-40 home win.. Harris is generally better than Kurtz round Owlerton. Think Chris Holder and Pickering will be the difference. Going round Hillsborough before to watch the footy.. might be abit sozzled so if anyone sees me staggering about on bend 4 in a gazza shirt come say hi

Get a life ffs

Ipswich fans won’t know how to handle tai throwing them a compliment

I could tell tales of arguments at speedway but 99% of fans are just genuine speedway fans. As for the bend 2 barmy army (about 6 people) they popped up after Covid I don’t think they’ve been going for long. The rivalry between Ipswich and Sheffield is down to both having strong teams and last years final was mostly respectful

I think karmas caught up with him.. he’s only had a couple of poor ish meetings so far, he’s in top 3 averages in league I do believe?

A crappy little track our riders tend to hate.. anything less than a 10 point loss and no injuries id see as a good result

Why so salty??

Fair play to KL really got out the gates and looked comfortable on the track, Sheffield the complete opposite didn’t gate well all night and seemed abit all over the place. 10 points is a very competitive gap, don’t think it will the mullering like last time at owlerton. Could be a tense second leg

Sheffield coming back strong now. Got to get the reserves going both look very short on confidence in the top league compared to the championship

Not convinced Picko is going to be fit for this. Seems abit of a tester meeting for him and wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t ride 4 heats.

Not many good 7 pointers out there right now.. Zagar? Lebedevs? Kvech? Cook is a consistent rider who has potential and maybe now a huge point to prove id be on phone if I was KL

That’s what I was thinking. I’d even fit him in at Sheffield for Howarth but that won’t happen
