Aries

It’ll be the same team. After all, we keep being told Belle Vue are the pillars of the Speedway community, only do things for the benefit of the sport and their riders, so they won’t be dumping any of their riders on to the scrap heap obviously. Besides, they don’t need to make any changes. AceBelle was constantly telling everyone that THEY actually had the best team and were favourites, so no changes are necessary. And to add to that, what on earth is the point of making changes when the whole thing is completely meaningless and winning the title is worthless? Isn’t that right Mike??

I see this from you a lot, Mike/Ouch is similar. Just goes to show the mouthy miserable minority on here don’t translate to what actually exists on the terraces. I’m sure you’d say that it was completely meaningless that Ipswich snatched the bonus point last night seeing as they’re already guaranteed a play off place. So what difference does the extra point make? Well to those there last night it meant something. The atmosphere in the closing races when the 5-1’s were coming and the bonus point was secured in the final heat was excellent. The crowd were fully aware of what was needed due to the excellent presenter Kevin keeping everyone up to speed, and the roar when the presenter confirmed the bonus point had been secured spoke volumes. I guess the likes of Birmingham and Oxford and probably Lynn are now all riding meaningless meetings so may as well now just forfeit their remaining fixtures and we’ll just fast forward to the play offs and we can all have an early finish this year? After all these are only meaningless “qualifiers”. Never known such a negative bunch of grumpy b@stards that follow a particular sport like we seem to have with this one. We have Lynn on Monday, I’m pretty sure their supporters won’t see it as meaningless if they do a number again on their Suffolk rivals. Life is short, enjoy every meeting while you can and savour any victory the team you support manages to get, whether your team is at the top of the table or rock bottom.

Same for Emil. Would expect far more from him when push comes to shove play off time.

Heat 12 Kurtz made the gate with Lidsey but he didn’t look particularly great there. Thompson put him under huge pressure for a couple of laps and nearly got him at one point before the Aces pair were comfortable by the end and Thompson’s challenge ended. &nbsp Heat 14 was a great race. Cook was quite aggressive and tried to barge Thompson out the way a couple of times and showed good speed,but Dan held firm and refused to give up second place. Gave Cook a stare after the race finished

https://ipswichwitches.co/raceday-guide-kings-lynn-a-3/ We should be winning this really. Coming here in much better shape than previous visits and it’s a good track for a lot of our riders. Interesting switch of riding order moving Emil to three and Brennan to five.

You’ve been throwing these barbs out all evening. Another absolute pasting has really bothered you hasn’t it?

With Jenkins in there it wouldn’t have been far off the rout from earlier in the season! More evidence of the extra banking working especially bend four. King used it to great effect a few times, similar to line Emil took a few weeks ago. Working a treat. King was fantastic. Aggressive and very very fast. You could see what that performance meant to him after heat 15! Full marks to the track staff as well, they got it spot on today. No blue groove and that’s because it was heavily watered which made conditions heavy and a bit tricky early on, but that had to be done on such a hot day.

Blue groove weather this. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it return this evening.

Don’t talk utter sh!te like you know something. You know Jack. Hawkins was bang on, as he usually is!!!

The team manager wouldn’t have made a jot of difference. He’s driven, simple as that really. You could argue he doesn’t have the talent of those other world champions, but what he has in abundance, is guts, determination and will to win that the likes of Cameron Heeps (sorry to say it, for all the talent he has/had), just doesn’t have. Admire him, we all should.

One league ain’t happening. Don’t get excited.

Not happening. Next..

Christ some of you Lynn fans are a massive bunch of offended wimps. Grow a backbone ffs 🙄 he’s simply mentioned Lynn because you’re the only ones swapping out your rising star on a match by match basis so he rightly mentioning Kings Lynn to make his point! 🙄

That’s just him though isn’t it. He’s all in whether team or individual event. That’s just his mindset and the way he’s wired. You have to accept that when you sign him. It’s part of his charm IMO.

Not quite sure why everyone is struggling with this. Lynn are a perfect example. Declaring and re-declaring their side containing different RS’s whenever it suits. Ipswich are without their current rising Star, so they can choose another rising Star that isn’t currently declared in another teams 1-7. Where’s the confusion? For what it’s worth I’ve NEVER liked the crock of sh!te that is the rising Star scheme. You have the NDL and Championship to develop riders. When they’re good enough, they’ll naturally get their chance in the top flight (whilst it’s there). As for preferential picks in order of which position teams finished in a totally different season, don’t get me started on that farce!

Lawson in for Riss. Close meeting on the cards.

Bored to tears to be more precise 🙄

Hawkins is right there. When you look at the Oxford side they don’t look a bad side at all so a few riders have underperformed. They’ve all had good meetings, but unfortunately for Oxford very few have had them at the same time. Doyle has filled his boots with two huge scores in Poland and Sweden, so absolutely no excuses now. He needs to put in a match winning score at Oxford after the tripe he served up at Belle Vue.

Not so sure I think they’ve got every chance personally. Yes they’ll have some passengers, but I think the top three will have a point to prove away from the NSS and will have a determination to see it through. They certainly won’t be as bad as last time that’s impossible.

He’s winding you up Gav don’t bite. I’m sure Ouch is his alter ego, sensible reasonable Mike, Troll Ouch, but sometimes the mask slips..

We’ll get closer than that in the B fixture here. The reserves won’t have a night like tonight again. More than confident of beating anyone over two legs all things being equal.

Well done Birmingham. Great to see Kenny have a good meeting after a tough season for him so far. He’s such a talent but his progress has stalled somewhat this year. Maybe not the best move for him.

Sack the Ipswich team manager he’s useless 😁

Aces given themselves a great chance of the bonus now at Foxhall.

Not a great meeting tbh but the NSS very high standards but to be fair, very hot day and that will have affected the track. Belle Vue very comfortable. Makes the bonus interesting next week.
