Doyle and Sayfutdinov both had 8+1, so I think everyone would see that higher than 7+2.

Winner of the bizarre comment of the season 🤪

Where on earth is the moderation on this forum? How is it if you say a naughty word you’re immediately banned for the foreseeable, and yet Troll’s who infest threads with the sole aim of getting under the skin of one fan base for reasons only he knows, can just carry on without any retribution whatsoever? You’d like to think his fellow Belle Vue fans would be embarrassed by his behaviour and call out his bullsh!T but no, in fact they back their man with laughing emojis and actually join in the trolling themselves! Yes, talking about you Mike!!

Let's not forget, we had this same exact arrogance from Ipswich last season, how did that go??

More lies. When did this happen exactly?

I agree, I've always said that the only obstacles to overcome are injuries as well as hoping Torun don't withdraw Emil's starting permission.

To be fair when Doyle went under the air fence on the exit of bend two in heat 6 i did fear the worst for his shoulder.

Because of the guys battling mentality, can you see Doyley not getting mixed up in a big accident?? Seems to find him almost every year.

Ipswich lose Emil or Jason, it could end their season quick sharp.

Apart from Oxford & Birmingham, absolutely nobody else can be written off for the title just yet.

Let's not forget, we had this same exact arrogance from Ipswich last season, how did that go??

What a weird post 

Pretty obvious if a team loses its top 2 it will struggle lol

Not one Ipswich fan has been arrogant and nobody was last year either …. Do you not think that barring injuries that we are favourites…. That’s not arrogance it’s factual 

You say Oxford and Birmingham will struggle but can’t acknowledge that Ipswich are favourites?

There is a different between confidence and arrogance ….. I’m confident that we can win the league with this 7 riders …. Not arrogant to believe that others may improve or we get injuries

He is a troll … posts to inflame even when facts are pointed out… bit of a sad existence really 

I remember we had a fan Aljack who was an embarrassment on here to the rest of us witches fans and we all told him so …. I guess Belle Vue fans don’t care about a village idiot amongst them 

Ouch hasn’t said a word about Sheffield beating Oxford by more than Ipswich did as it doesn’t suit his agenda

lol is that supposed to be a dig at people from Suffolk 

I live an hour from Ipswich so kind of aiming that at the wrong person ….. or is that supposed to be northern humour 

Same humour from you about Manchester 🤔

Christ forgot about him. He was an embarrassment to all of us and every single one of us called him out on his nonsense on here.

Not quite - he made a generalisation about Mancunians. You were specific about Worzel Gummidge on a tractor.

Interestingly, I don't think the book specifies where Scatterbrook Farm is, while the John Pertwee series was filmed in Kent, and the Mackenzie Crook version was filmed in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire.

The only Manc equivalents I can think of would be Liam or Noel Gallagher, although I don't think Worzel would like being compared with two such scruffy individuals 🙃

As for tractors, the machines used in Suffolk are impressive bits of engineering, costing from £100k to upwards of £350k.  As the John Crisp used to sing: "Hev yew evva sin a farmer on a boike?".

Nickname of Ipswich town is Tractor boys and since you are linked with them hence you will be Tractor boys 🚜

Programmed rides only (i.e. four rides each), including bonus points. Not difficult.

As explained by people who made the effort to find out, Doyle and Sayfutdinov were chosen for Heat 15. I don't know how Thompson gained the final place in the Sanders event, having been tied on Paid 9 with those two, but Sayfutdinov even turned down  Heat 15, and maybe Doyle decided he was happy with just one more ride after his earlier fall.

You obviously don't recognise yourself as a troll, despite your best efforts!

It was a free event for fans, and the top four Ipswich scorers took part, even if the top four Brummies didn't.  I like to think that the Brum Promotion sees everything upside down, so that's why those four turned out 😃  Perhaps you should cheer up and enjoy a bit of fun instead of sticking your snout in somewhere that you clearly don't care about.

 

This is what I have to put up with. I get the trolls will trip themselves up whilst creating their imagined reality but I expect a level of consistency from the same poster. I don’t think you’re a troll and we can put this down as a mistake but please can I ask for a little less attitude and insults, we’re all (hopefully) speedway fans and can discuss things on here in a civilised manner.

Impartial observer here, but yours seems the bizarre comment.

If a match is balanced to finish 45-45 or 46-44, wouldn't you find 8+1 more valuable than 7+2, if the 8 point rider gets you over the line where the 7 only gets a draw?

Of course 8+1 is better than 7+2.  The bonus points are only for the paypacket.  They don't count towards the match score, nor the riders average.  in both match score and CMA calculation 8 is better than 7.

So sorry, yours is the bizarre comment.

The pay for the second half races wasn't enough for Doyle and Sayfutdinov to take part.  Fair enough.   They're subcontractors and have their own rates in mind.

You do I understand that Doyle Emil and Dan all tied on points yes? 
Only one of those could ride in the match races so Doyle and Emil did hear 15 although Emils bike wasn’t working so Tom did it..

It’s not rocket science just seems you want to have a pop for no reason.

Sorry you deserve every insult going ….. you troll the Ipswich threads time and again making remarks so tedious and infantile 

How many times do you need to be told the same thing ….. do us a favour and eff off

It’s also the way reporters list the riders scores and have done for decades, 8+1 trumps 7+2 everybody knows this. It’s just someone changing the system in a vain attempt to suit their argument. Bizarre.

For the last time do yourself a favour and shut up 

they all scored 9 … wasn’t decided by race wins or bonus points … just they scored 9 watch …… 3 riders into 2 spaces doesn’t go 

Now bore off you prat

You have to put up with?!  Blimey, you're thinner-skinned than I realised - and don't realise that you're the one with an attitude - otherwise you wouldn't keep sticking your snout in where you clearly don't care. Just stay away, unless a team you support is riding against the Witches - simples.

This was a team meeting - the Witches ride as a team. As you know, if you finish behind your teammate are rewarded with a BP, so 8+1 and 7+2 are exactly the same, e.g. a Paid Maximum is the same as a Full Maximum, because the rider has not been defeated by an opponent.

It's clear that you have absolutely no interest, so please just go away.

Klindt scored a belting 15 the other year before his injury including one race knocking Danny King off! Seem to recall he beat Emil and that was the night he broke the track record?

Klindt will be at #6 for KL in May, with Harris at #1.  Cook is fifth in their line-up, and R/R will be Kvech (1 ride), Klindt and Boughen.
