He always looks and sounds miserable. Although he is riding out of his skin in this meeting! Surprised the crowd is so poor. I know it was weather pushing it from yesterday to today but still.

Better on paper? That insinuates they aren’t good in reality, they are just better for a fact, not on paper. Look at the table! Walked over Belle Vue home and away, everyone assumed that would be a good match up and they got completely done. I do think Magic should have been allowed a re-run from when he fell on the first bend. The meeting didn’t have much riding on it at that point and another 5-1 to Ipswich seemed slightly underwhelming against only gusts.

How this forum shows the bitterness of other teams is hilarious 😆 Ipswich built to the limit of points. We would have walked it last year as well and even other team managers admit that. Crowds are brilliant. Atmosphere outstanding. Last year the track was “awful” and now it’s a fair playing field with a better track we win by bigger margins! Lastly, people stop saying it’s gate and go. Ellis done a stunning outside overtake and Thompson done the best cut back from last to second on the first bend. It’s painful I know… but just admit teams aren’t up to it at foxhall. Oh sorry we’ve beaten everyone away as well

If no injuries or bike issues, contrary to what I’ve said before about 60+ being not every week… I think looking at the line ups this could be high 50s / low 60s for Witches

Oh did they manage to sort the methanol out !

Are you ok? Any sportsperson can get complacent when constantly winning and therefore think they can turn up and just win. All teams have said we are the strongest so that can bring complacency in itself, I was not referencing what you wrote at all. I haven’t even said we are complacent, I simply stated it can creep in at any point. You show your knowledge of sports by the last post about if one team beats one, and we’ve beaten the first team, then we will easily win, sport isn’t that simple

Don’t get me wrong I’d love to see it every week! I just think people will have off nights, it’s hard to keep constant 5-1s, teams will get better as the season goes. We have a strong, strong team, I just think we need to keep realistic and stop thinking we are going to batter everyone, complacency can kick in when you turn up thinking no you’ve already won.

Emil and Doyle will be better than Monday and I’d expect the engineer room to slightly improve. Jenkins and Thompson can always add the extra points clearly so looking very positive! Personally I’d love to see Magic score double figures, he is really a good guy and comes across very well, he has come back to British speedway and I’d like to see him score some big points so he feels like he is improving and comes back to these shores constantly. We won’t batter teams 65+ often if ever again this season… I don’t think, id be hoping for 52-38 to the witches 🧙

Doyle jumping on Jenkins bike and winning was brilliant!! Thompson was my rider of the night again, that guy is really coming on strong, having 5-1s with Emil and Doyle is great to see!

Emil went though both your top boys and king took Tate, your riders weren’t willing to risk anything that’s all! Guess we wanted it more

Mark Lemmon just can’t handle Belle vue got battered… by IpSH!T! Brilliant night, good turn out in crowd numbers and the boys produced. Personally I don’t rate bloedorn, Z cook or Lidsey as a good enough to win you a title. Not trying to sound harsh but I think Kings Lynn are a better side than Belle vue this season and will give us more problems. I’d say top four are us, Sheffield, Lynn and maybe Belle vue? Leicester might want a say in that. If Bewley and Kurtz have off nights you aren’t winning any meetings. Also like to point out now we have upgraded the track and beaten the current champions by a battering, what are people going to use as an excuse now

You’ll miss the trophy being presented for the cup this year that’s for sure :)! Aces weren’t bad, just Ipswich were better Doyle and Emil well off it so when they get warmed up you will be in trouble !

Great result for the whole team, Doyle and Emil must be happy that the pressure is slightly off them to constantly get double figures. All teams will have highs and lows so I won’t get too excited. Kings Lynn are a dark horse IMO and I can’t wait for the derby days! I expected a bigger crowd at Belle vue watching on TV, interesting to see what Ipswich gets at home, I am aware England played so maybe some watched football instead on TV. Anyway… speedway won last night! Great races and really good passing. Good luck all teams for a great season!

Yeah I was thinking the same. I hope either doesn’t get pushed aside and forgotten about.

Nice rant but Gorzow and Torun both have roofs. And yes, i'm aware Torun isn't in the GP this year!

Well Belle Vue need to learn their lesson from overpriced temp stands on their last outing. It is easier for Polish fans to travel via Manchester airport correct, but Polish fans won't pay £60+ for this event. They have premium stands and multiple SGPs in Poland, Cardiff was an experience, Belle Vue isn't. I went with my Polish GF to both SON Belle Vue and Cardiff last year. The difference in her experience was telling, indoors was amazing and a nice city to walk around, Manchester, well...

And you got a cup match in it. So that makes the 13th meeting.

I’d be paying to watch all the team as I want to win the league and not selected heats. Each to their own I guess!

Norwich could tear up Carrow Rd and put a speedway track in it. You’d see more entertainment that way!

2026 looking decent. I think this is going to be King’s last season. Rew will be back as he is loaned out to Birmingham for 2025 so we could get Brennan on the pre tense that he comes back for 2026 and replaces King. Ipswich offering scholarship to whoever wins the under 19s event at foxhall… all set up for Will Cairns!
