Unfortunately like most venues,, the attendance drops when tv is there,, and due to its large capacity,, it makes it look worse than it actually is. Oh, and can I add, people actually pay to watch this schitt, and no wonder speedway is dying in this country to the bingo list. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you weren't there for the Sheffield meeting - was a great night's entertainment and nothing like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 Thing is, I have seen quite a few clips online from Ipswich over the last few seasons, dust isn’t something that springs to mind like other tracks I could mention that are always dry as a bone.

And it was one of the best I've at Foxhall for many many many years Don’t think it was a coincidence that leading up to that Sheffield meeting, after a bone dry Spring where there seemed to be blue grooves at most places, we had a fair bit of heavy rain the days proceeding that meeting. That resulted in an excellent race track that provided plenty of entertainment. Unfortunately since then, we’ve had a bit of a drought again! Warm weather and little rain means it’s incredibly hard to get enough water down in to the track before it evaporates. Could have done with a downpour or two today..

Decent crowds at Ipswich each week is true although deffo peaked on BH Monday vs kings Lynn, biggest crowd I’ve seen for a while! I do think TV / Streaming angles aren’t great at foxhall though, they base themselves normally so you can’t actually see everyone on bend one and two and then because of the stock car track you don’t see hardly any of the stand on the back straight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at yesterday’s Polish matches, the Leicester contingent did well so a close competitive meeting looks to be on the cards. Good luck to both teams and hopefully an injury free meeting.

Could have watched on TNT but can't stand the drones eye view, wish I'd brought my fishing net I might have sorted it out once and for all !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
