Been thinking about the format and how could the powers that be offer a bit extra value for money and/or entertainment. So an idea sprung to mind for the top flight, how about introducing a "Premier league Shootout Series" End of the meeting, the top 4 scorers from both teams race against each other But a 1 lap shootout, one rider selected from each side, so basically 4 Heats of a Sprint. The home team selects the rider they are putting up and then the away team pairs them up with who they select. Has no baring on the overall meeting score but heats are scored 1-0, the shootout series has a separate league table End of season, top 4 qualify for an old style 4TT hosted by the club finishing top of the shootout series I.e. a potential big money generating meeting 1 lap sprints also doesn't put a great deal of cost on the rider.

The cynical side of me is wondering how many free tickets are potentially given out to boost crowd numbers at Noethampton but would be foolish if they need to show the books to a potential buyer If Tai was part of a consortium I would imagine his financial outlay would be minimal at best but with his contacts and profile perhaps he could be a good shot in the arm on the promotion front Possibly, if Sheffield sell up or work on a reduced budget then remove Lambert and Pickering with Both Holders as they'll end up somewhere together

Wouldn't surprise me if a consortium came forward and possibly including Tai as its a great opportunity for him to go into part club ownership and would be able to attract some riders. I reckon you could see something like 1. Lambert 2. Rowe 3. Pickering 4. Thomson 5. Doyle 6. McDiarmid 7. Harrison Depending on final averages

Think the main issue with Lawson yesterday was the timing of letting ipswich know Despite his post saying they tried, at least give ipswich a heads up maybe that morning "Hey boss, my wife isn't well, we're trying to arrange help but if we can't i will have to miss tonight and look after my child" Not just phone a few hours before the meeting and drop it

1. Anyone know who the 3 changes would be? 2. Far too easy to say replace Lawson with Ellis AFTER he's bagged 20 points from 21, bit like saying i would have chosen those winning euro million numbers, after you'd seen the draw

In the local area so may attend, I think Northampton will win tomorrow. I can see a half bothered Lawson returning similar numbers to Brennan and think with the switches the Foxes have made they will come away 46-44 But only if Klindt turns up lol

Can you change your username to OTT please unless TTT was a mistake to start off with. Again, your expectation for this season is extremely high and unrealistic, I bet on paper you wouldn't have thought you'd get to a league cup final but now they are there (and they've not lost it yet) you bring out the doom and gloom. I think with the support Ipswich get even if 2 years time if you dropped into the championship you'd get good crowds Like others have said, this is one season everyone knew would be a struggle even supporters of other clubs, you seem to be the only one that is comparing previous seasons

Probably going to say 50-40 to Ipswich on this one, the mighty lions to edge it by 4-6 points on aggregate

Easy home win

You'll go where I tell us to go, sorry we

My names not Iain mate

Don't be so mean Iain Kind Reageds Iain

Witches to win by about 12 points, looking forward to my first visit as down this way with work

When you say I you mean we will still attend. The Premier league will unfortunately have to be watered down to encourage 2 clubs to come up The championship then needs to be watered down and some how incorporate some of the development league Not sure Mayfield like it, unless they are able to help the sport source a big TV deal I personally still feel an extended British Championship is most likely to attract new fans to a one-off big meeting than a local club has of attracting a new fan to be a regular
