He went from last pick RS to leaving us on a (old school with bonus) 7.16 average in 2023. He has added 0.25 to that and he has Jason, Emil, Chris etc around him. It’s not working for the poor lad. We need to get him back at the ATPI track days with Jason to set him back on course. #Back the Brits. Some time as a second string will help him I am sure... If his average will see that happen...? The issue is though that someone else will have to go to No 3, and they could struggle like Tom... Dan T is so key for the Witches, and that is a big responsibility for the young lad....

I remember weekly meetings at Foxhall with good support and every effort was made to get a meeting on despite the weather etc but now that has all gone by the wayside. The Louis family have put more than most into the sport but surely they eventually draw the line on a failing business model. The Witches have narrowly lost out to local rivals in the semifinal of a Mickey Mouse sport. Please don’t call the Samaritans as they will probably tell you to f**k off. If Ipswich speedway have problems the sport is as good as done in this country. Move on and enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can score your average and still cost your team the match. He gave up three 5-1s tonight. That’s poor from both of them, not just Brennan. Just because he got 3 points towards his average coming third each time it’s acceptable as far as I’m concerned. You’re better than your teammate who is having a stinker… congrats.

tellboy Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 I see there are a few sour grapes on here.The best part though is the Ipswich,Belle Vue and Poole fans are all digging at each other and leaving all us happy Lynn fans alone to just bask in the glory of a wonderful result.Well done the half fit Lynn team🫣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboy cookie returns? Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 I said earlier in the week that this wasn’t going to be easy & so it proved. Heat 14 will be the talking point, from where we were standing on the 1st bend I couldn’t honestly see if there was contact or not . Dan had done well to get passed Kerr at that point it looked good. To be honest we should never have been in the position that heat 14 call be the referee makes or breaks the tie. I can’t say if Lynn wanted it more than Ipswich but they were certainly the better team over the 2 legs & deserved to make the final. Congratulations you pesky Stars you deserved it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralMelchett Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 After opening with a 5-1 the tie should have been over long before the heat 14 incident, it could have gone either way Kerr did put on a right burst of speed but from where I sat there was no contact. (exit of 2nd bend on the grandstand) Ipswich were poor too many errors and last places - track wasn't helping there was some passing but not a lot. One of the only real passes of the night was DanT on Kerr before Kerr then steamed up the inside. I'd like to see a replay of it!! I was really good to see Bomber mixing it - he and Klindt bascially took the Stars through tonight. Good luck to Lynn I think Leicester will win but it must feel good for them to be in the final, its been a lean few years! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 Well done to the stars,, as for heat 14 it's 50 50 for me,, if its your rider you doing what Kerr did it's fine and if its the away rider it's not,,, I can guarantee now if it was Thompson that did it Kerr the Witches fans would be saying hard but fair move. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShanoXtra Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 Forget heat 14… there is a bigger issue than this result and it’s the team, some really up and down performances from the team. I wouldn’t even be confident that we would beat Leicester anyway to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kerr was going to pass him fairly, then surely Thomson would have shut off and stayed on for 3rd place. Would that not have left Ipswich needing a 5-1 in the last heat to force a superheat? Who then knows what would happen in 15 as possibly not the same 4 riders as selected. 6 minutes ago, Baldyman said: Well done to the stars,, as for heat 14 it's 50 50 for me,, if its your rider you doing what Kerr did it's fine and if its the away rider it's not,,, I can guarantee now if it was Thompson that did it Kerr the Witches fans would be saying hard but fair move.

Baldyman Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 What concerns me is okay the wheels are wobbling a bit,, but more than anything, why when we need to win, why do we never seem to prep the track for our benefit,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
