Me too agree with you

I will be watching on tv not an inspiring line up at all but thats where the sport is in the UK nowadays, i would never watch an Aces meeting on tv and i think its time this meeting was spread around maybe a different venue each year?

Thought this at Belle Vue when a rider comes near him he backs off, i can see him walking away from the sport.

Without a doubt mate, i think with Tate he would have been better finding his feet after his bad crash with Workington in the Championship, he could ease himself back in and build up confidence theres plenty on time for his Aces career, but 5+1 at Sheffield was a decent return so hopefully he can gain momentum. Jake really is struggling he shows flashes here and there.

To be honest mate i dont think our home advantage is a great as some believe it to be, we only scrapped over the line in this one and lost our first, think there will be more close run meetings in future as well.

It for the Colts v Steelers meeting at Sheffield after the Premiership meeting to give any Aces fans the option of watching both if they want to not being forced to.

I dont understand riders taking a place in the UK if they are not interested, take Tungate for example whats the point in him getting bikes and mechanics set up over here and spending time flying in and out if he isnt interested? Its not like hes earning is it?

Thanks i thought they did, i wonder how many that dont will start given the affect on crowds in the stadiums?

Off the top of my head i couldnt say all clubs who have their own streams Belle Vue, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Berwick and Plymouth do if im not mistaken Poole too.

Dont blame you for lack of interest mate, our first stream saw a very poor crowd though easter was late this year, i think comparing the cost of a stream to paying for petrol, food, programme, entry, car park etc a lot of people will only turn up at tracks for the play offs, dont know what the deal is to televise on TNT but cant see BSN being much tbh.

No the clubs own streams

Hes a good rider but cant do it alone.

Thats why i question all the streaming, its got to have a negative affect on footfall into the stadium, i wonder if the revenue from streams offset the shortfall of people actually paying at the turnstiles?

Looking at Oxford and Birmingham we might as well save time and money and go straight to the play offs, terrible fare so far.

So you generalize the whole fan base based on a couple of forum posts, could say the same about your "lot" given you are backing your own troll

I didnt quite understand the chequebook speedway comment either when you look at the top two his own team have???

I think the problem with mental health nowadays is that its become in vogue to just just use mental health as a badge without having any issues whatsoever so its downplayed for people who actually do have real mental health problems. For example as a Manchester United fan ive heard fans saying recent results are affecting my mental health when there is absolutely nothing wrong with them, its become just a fashionable saying so for people like Cook who is suffering it can get downplayed.

Sad news best wishes for a full and speedy recovery. As Tai has nothing left to acheive in speedway he should consider his health in the future and call time on his racing days, he has his music career to concentrate on enjoy that and family time.

Have to go with a Kings Lynn win Dan and Brady should go well but our middle order and reserves are going to have to show a big improvement, i would expect Lidsey to be better though.

No surprise really when the Belle Vue side was announced i thought numbers 2,4,6,and 7 would give us a long tail and if the top two have an off night something like this could happen. Its only two meetings in but that tail has to start firing and find some consitency, Kings Lynn Monday will be interesting will we bounce back? Going to be difficult Stars look a solid outfit this season.

Ipswich arent the only team to suffer misfortune, we lost out in the play offs when Bjerre broke his leg and we couldnt replace him, Kurtz injury at Peterborough and going back farther i can remember Les Collins at Sheffield in a league match and his ef on the last lap cost us a win and hence the title that year. Thats not to say we would have beaten Coventry with Bjerre or Peterborough with Kurtz, we all know who should win meetings games etc but it doesnt always work out as it should, Liverpool v Wimbledon for example if Liverpool had a catalogue of injuries when Dons won the cup people would be saying Liverpool would have won with a full team but they didnt. Ipswich could also have come up short with a full side ef/injury/ exclusion etc. Stop feeling sorry for yourself weve all been there.

Be interesting to see the price structure after the SON and the FIM,s pricing.

Yes Manchester has always been associated with wet weather, what surprised me was the list of the wettest cities in the UK, number one Cardiff with a monthly average rainfall of 96mm and 12.4 days per month. Manchester? We came in at number 15.

Rew would definately have benefitted from another season at Ipswich, given the reported crowd figures at Birmingham i wonder how they can find the money to satisfy Rew,s demands? Given the club seems far from stable a strange decision to move there, is Tolley going to over commit financially?

We won the Premiership but i would have preferred to do it against a Full Ipswich side, i certainly didnt want to see the injuries to Doyley and Emil two great riders i have a lot of respect for i certainly dont want to see any riders injured, weve suffered in the past with injuries in play off finals and its so frustrating, win or lose we all want to see full teams going for it Ipswiches injury list this season was unreal and you have to feel for them.
