Yes. The TV ones at Ipswich last season were not that much different to any other meetings in terms of length and stop/start. Now some people have an issue with the grading breaks 😁

They did though Ian, TV meetings were very drawn out in the Sky days and have been much more pacy since - surprised you can't remember? This is one of the things Mr Morris did improve. Just needed more fan involvement trackside (TV commentary & interviews over the PA would have been useful) .

If it is Mayfield then I think it's definitely Woffinden at No.1. The Mayfield man is good friends with him and got him his GP place for this season.

Lidsey would be a poor signing, gating tart.

What happens if they're a falling star?

Average too high, ok when making the start but poor in traffic/first bend.

I thought the picture showed Doyle and Ellis?

Oh, misunderstood, thought that was what you were saying with +1. Who would be no. 1 then?

Could've still moved to cover the inside or gone wider to block tungate, gives way in tight situations, seen it before.

Not good enough as a No. 1

Lidsey made the gate in the final but is not hard enough in the first turns, got beat up again. He needs to fight for his position!

I'm a big fan of what Chris has achieved for Ipswich Speedway and the crowd has grown over the years. However, putting the fans through this uncertain time with no reassurance/updates is very poor. Ritchie Hawkins was co-promoter as well. There'd be no Ipswich speedway without paying spectators and they should be top priority.

It seems he didn't know arc were taking over from sis, so it wasn't his decision to leave.

What's that then? All i'd read is that he's continuing with getting Mildenhall greyhounds open and handing over Towcester, whilst continuing with Oxford. Is there further news?

Should be easier to navigate to the actual races though, frustrating!

A different format for cup competition could give other teams a chance of silverware, particularly if raced towards the end of the season - maybe a four/five team tournament at each track (excluding the league winners) with the final against the league winners? Just brain-farting this idea 🤪

Is there an easy way to do that, I keep moving the little circle but where it stops is very hap-hazard?

Would be great for Ipswich, has done very well there in the past.

If anyone watched this meeting from this morning (8am UK time), what an awfully dragged out meeting! Congrats to Lidsey in the final, Becker's only defeat. Beau Bailey was impressive for a sixteen year old. Track was very slick but it seems that's speedway these days. Was good to see Leigh Adams, Kevin Doolan and Neil Evitts in attendance, along with Cameron Woodward as the ref.

I hope not.

So is it Tai at Ipswich or a pole?

No, I think it's more about riders progressing from one team to the other as it's less of a jump. This may encourage fans to watch both.

Partial to wrinkled stockings Ian?🙂

Still way behind Nielsen in my view.

My guess would be a rider no longer in the GP's.
