There will be an awful lot who’ll leave straight after the meeting, despite having “paid” to watch the junior racing. Still think/hope enough stay behind for the youngsters sake though so they get to race in front of a larger crowd than they are used to. Can’t blame anyone for leaving after the main meeting though. Couple of hours is more than enough for most.

Especially on days like today. Not sure what the weather is like up your way at the moment but down here in Suffolk it’s like an October day! Very chilly

It’s a difficult one with Zischke because although he’s been a big disappointment so far, it was a nasty crash he’s coming back from. I’d give him more time personally but understand people getting a bit impatient.

He’s good around there, everyone knows that. The issues are everywhere else (other than the NSS).

Agree it’s not on really but I suppose it’s difficult to police and get people out if you stagger the payments for either/or or both meetings. The good thing though for balance, is the youngsters will get to ride in front of a bigger than usual crowd than what most of them are used to so I’m sure they’ll all be looking forward to that.

Good for you, but that’s just you isn’t it and not everyone thinks the same way obviously. I’m not interested in watching the junior racing either, not in the slightest. No need to get all upperty and look down your nose at those that aren’t interested in it. Judging by the non existent crowds at NDL level I’d say you’re in a tiny minority. saying “do you really follow speedway at all or are even interested in it” just because you’re not interested in watching the junior races is bloody daft.

Heavy rain this morning.. Track would be heavily watered anyway so not concerned. In fact it may well help track conditions. Forecast for rest of day is fine.

I just wanna see Bomber scraping the fence and testing the extra banking. Come on Bomber don’t let me down.

Same for me.

No he wasn’t. And Ipswich had no “priority” over Jenkins for this season.

Honestly I don’t like it when rules get bent and people seemingly take the mickey to gain an advantage and we know it’s happened, but this has gone above and beyond that. They clearly need help just to limp to the end of the season.

Think it’s got to the stage where they’re not gonna block Birmingham from signing anyone or reinstating someone whether it’s in the rules or not. They’re blatantly dying on their @rse and need as much help as they can. I know there a lot who go by the “rules are rules” motto but even they can turn a blind eye on this occasion surely.

I said the other day, the team who finishes top should be champions, top four contest an end of season knockout cup, two semis and a final.

Must admit it was a bit of an eye opener to me reading on here a Birmingham supporter saying crowds were up on last year, but still not hitting the 1000 mark! 😳 That just isn’t sustainable I’m afraid.

https://ipswichwitches.co/raceday-guide-kings-lynn-h/ Hawkins also mentions here about losing some home advantage due to the conditions being different to an evening meeting although we’ve coped well with it recently. Definitely looks to be more of a competitive meeting than the others we’ve had at home so far. Looking forward to it.

I accept it’s always dangerous to put your head on the chopping block because you’ll always get quoted after the event and look a fool, but Dan will score more than 3 points I’m as certain as you can be about that.. This is tricky for a few reasons, rider replacement strengthens Lynn up on this occasion because Ben Cook historically just can’t ride the place. Kvech and Klindt certainly can. Lynn have a fair few good trappers in their side. Klindt, Lawson, NKI can all trap well and with it being an afternoon meeting and the track will likely be slick, it should suit them. Ellis and Brennan are a good pair for us especially at Foxhall, but the Lawson/Kvech middle order looks as though it will cause us problems and looks a strong pairing. Still expect us to win the meeting, but I’ll go 50-40. Edit: Klindt should be getting the first R/R ride in heat 1 if they have any sense. Get him dialled in straight away for heat two. Also makes sense for him to get a ride straight away as he’ll likely be a busy boy and get 7 rides.

Remains to be seen. It’s only really been this year and last that we’ve challenged. The season before that we only just scraped in to the play offs by a minor miracle when Leicester got battered at Peterborough in their final meeting..

Not as much as you think they do. If they pump so much money in, why did Chris Louis try to sell Ipswich to Buster a few years ago when Tru were the sponsors? Buster done a u turn a few weeks later and Chris Louis kept the club running. There is a poster here who I know you’ve spoken to because he’s told me, who has told you Tru are not great payers.

Ipswich are favourites this year, and Chris Louis is the owner. Do you think Chris Louis is rich Phil?

Nobody has said it has you insufferable bore!

Isn’t that what we effectively already have though? With all due respect, very few if any of the rising stars would be selected in six man teams so if we just stopped using the rising stars it would make little to no difference. Teams would just use their current top six. Unless they went with a top five, and then a rising star at Six and lowered the limit forcing teams to release or not use, one of their better riders.

I’m more interested in seeing the outside line tried! They’ve worked hard sorting out the camber during the winter and actually giving the track some better banking, but it hasn’t been tested yet so we’ve no idea if it’s made any improvement! I’m sure Bomber will put it to the test Monday. If he doesn’t then nobody will.

Definitely R/R for me Bagpuss. That would be my preference if I were a Lynn fan anyway. Good spot! Not him then. Rew was the only Witch from 2024 that isn’t riding this year for Ipswich so not sure who the poster is referring to.
