So when was the meeting postponed? Still nothing on Facebook.

Oh right, the only thing from Ipswich on Facebook was about tonight's meeting, no mention of rain off. Nice to see they are keeping the fans informed. Glad I didn't bother travelling.

Only 3 and half hours to start time, and nothing on here. I take it I've got the right day?

I'm not as convinced as some about our current excellent form. Yes in the last 2 meetings we have won comfortably, but i don't think the opposition has been as good as it could have been. Now if we get a point out of tonight's meeting, then I will then agree with the others that we have suddenly hit top form.

Like everyone else, I thought is was a pretty good performance and some pretty good racing. A big well done to the track staff for producing a good race track which produced plenty of passing opportunities.

I can see this being pretty close tonight, and if we drop more points tonight, then I guess we are kissing goodbye any hopes of a play off place.

Well I shall be going this week since I'm doing texts for the updates site. Hoping for an entertaining evening, but not with to much action to report on.

So at Somerset its blackbird at 4 and rr at 1? And I would have thought it's bacon that's telling the truth.

Well let's hope it's not the 7.30 option, cos that is very bad pr,

So if Ritchie is there on Thursday, then it has to be rr at 4.

So when is a world cup reserve not a reserve?

Rr for our number 1and blackbird at 2 would be my option. The rest should be able to cover Ritchie average of 7.4. Blackbird has been worth plenty of points on his visits. Masters at 1 and rr at 2 would produce same amount of points, so much of the same to me.

Blackbird is a better option at 2 and rr at one, surely our other 6 riders can manage 7.4 points between them.

Apparently Ritchie isn't that great at Somerset, so a guest may just do better, but like Somerset at our track, we are normally just as poor at their track, so wouldn't fancy us for any point's whoever was riding. Thursday though is a different story, gino will be a big miss. Surely after one good showing last week our reserves will be our trump cards this week, and if not, then I think the saying is, you reap what you sow.

We have had more meetings than most of those teams as well haven't we?

Berwick won away on their travels today, beating a team we couldn't beat at home a couple of weeks ago. Maybe Berwick do have enough fire power to maybe get a point. Can we really afford to drop anymore points at home?

Don't think this match looks interesting enough to tempt me back this week.

A bit like a few of our riders then.

With kus at reserve they may just about have enough to keep the score reasonably close.

Maybe that's the answer then

On his first visit to Ipswich a few years ago, he was nearly unbeatable at Ipswich, so not why he can't race it now. Maybe he has just got to used to the flat out tracks like Somerset.

Well I actually think this will be the first time in 38 years that I am choosing not to go. All speedway clubs rely on the die hard fans, but this one has had enough.

Exactly, and I'm deciding to spend my entertainment money doing something else this week.

Well for the first time in i don't know how many years, through my own choice , I'm not going. And I'm not sure I will be back this season either. I shall see how I feel about Ipswich speedway week by week.

Let's hope he doesn't need any more motivation, it would be nice to see him mixing it up against our riders, cos that's what we pay our money to watch. I certainly don't get any pleasure watching a rider trundling round at the back way behind anyone and then giving after after a few laps. So come on Todd, let's see what you can really do and make me eat my words, cos that's what we want to see.
