Emil was on record on Polish TV saying he wouldn’t want to come under a Polish flag and take a position of a Polish rider. Although most would agree he is better than majority of them!

Unlucky Aces, started decent and thought we were in for a long night but we turned it round after heat 8 and kept the foot down to get the job done. Tough conditions for both riders early on and not as big crowd as I expect but weather might had played a part. I want to mention this though… my Polish mother in law came over and she has a close friend who was diagnosed with cancer recently, and she has an operation next month. Her favourite rider is Bewley so today after the meeting we waitied to see if he would give us a minute of his time. He was very polite and listened to the story of her friend, he put his bags down and wrote a message out directed to her, wishing her all the best and signing it. For me, it’s something he didn’t have to do especially after that meeting and not the best performance but he was still willing to be a kind human to help another out and make her day. I wished him all the best for the weekend and off he went, sometimes you can get caught up in the racing but these guys are just humans like us and whether Ipswich won or lost tonight I would remember that gesture of kindness over speedway. Good luck Saturday Dan B.

And deserved their spot in the final.

Whatever the result good luck to both teams and both sets of supporters. Been a good year! If it finishes for us this season (I hope not) I’ve enjoyed it!

One thing is certain, dry or not, it was be cold at 14 degrees and when that sun drops over the trees it feels so much colder even on a nice summers day!

Gunna be closer than people think I believe, we SHOULD have enough in the tank but whether we put that to practise is anyone’s guess… the last 24 meetings come down to this so I hope we have enough in front of a home crowd to win!

The weather wont be an issue people stop stressing 😂 last small showers over foxhall is due for 10 mins at 18:40

Looks like rain due to stop after 16:00 and only small showers in the afternoon, deffo will be on.

Agree with you, I always worry when other meetings are before ours due to injuries so I would deffo get it done before any chance of injury for Doyle Kurtz and Bewley at the weekend. I’d rather beat or even lose against a team full strength than not, otherwise it doesn’t feel the same when it not full 1-7 vs 1-7.

Mostly dry and sunny tomorrow although small showers lasting about 30 mins between 14:00 16:00 and 19:00 according to the Mett.

I heard the rain is going to make the track Gnarly 😉

It's such a long haul to get from Ipswich to Manchester and then add the fact, and more importantly, its on a Monday night... most people would be put off, I would have probably booked annual leave and travelled up if it was the final but all my eggs are in the basket of travelling to Leicester for the final away (fingers crossed). I wouldn't expect too many Aces fans on Thursday at Foxhall be i would love to see a lot! A full stadium makes it feel more of an event, i think everyone can agree on that.

Not a bad guess hey 😆

Imagine being poor all season but hanging on to the hope that “these are only qualifiers” and “we know Belle Vue turn up in the play offs” oh dear oh dear. Only a 6 point lead. All jokes aside, I still am fearful we will do something stupid like rely on King to get points and he ends up with 2 points and all of a sudden it’s squeaky bum time!

I’ve said from last year King needs replacing and I standby that even now.

To be fair, after the shambles that was heat 8. Brennans win and Doyle stepping up did amazingly well, it surprised me, I thought we may crumble but glad to see they stayed at it and pushed harder. Worst case 8 point difference is a great result especially after heat 8 and our riding. We pushed on in the second half unlike Mark thought his team would. Well done lads.

Imagine having a captain who leads by example. 😂😂😂 it’s a joke really! Swap him for rew next season please!

Do you know what! If you ride that sh!t then you don’t deserve to get into a final. All these people of here saying I was wrong a few weeks back when I said we wouldn’t win anything as we are crap now, here is your proof.

Dan totally Effd that up by staying out wide.

Here we go !!! Emil looks like he was racing with a tractor in that one.

You’re dreaming 😂 Ipswich actually has supporters who go to the meeting 😂 and also has the two biggest crowds of the year 😉 and a quarter of Foxhall is more than half of NSS!

Did I hear Dan Cook is chasing down Cook 😂😂😂

Such a poor crowd for a semi-final. Looks bad for TV.

Get down to foxhall it’s only £24 😂

Score predictions tonight : Emil - 10 King - 4 Doyle - 9 Dan - 3 Brennan - 6 Ellis - 6 Edwards - 2 Result : BV - 50 Witches - 40
