What the hell are you doing to our  Tom? 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....

Too many years of putting heart and soul into Ipswich having stopped it going under in the 90’s and then pandering to the hierarchy who run the sport to not selling out to Mr Chapmam to not having weekly meetings and being left with what is a shadow of what the sport was just a few years back, just how much does an owner/ promoter persevere before you decide I am flogging a dead horse. 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!

Adam scored over his average. Not sure how you worked out that he cost them the match. 

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.

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🫣

I suppose Rob has the right to do so.If Harrison wasnt allowed in ht13 as you say,the ref got it wrong imo.

the bloke in the box or that plank long 

I don’t know his name… matey on the centre green.

Lynn loving life and fair play to them. This final is like the qualifying position for worst 4th place in the country 😉

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!

I think you will find we are congratulating Lynn and at the same time not understanding the ref in heat 14…

I prefer Lynn fans on here to Belle Vue ones lol

Whilst you did indeed congratulate Lynn,the sour grapes to me is from comments like "they wont make the top 4" and " Let them enjoy beating us when it means nothing"

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!

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.

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.

Doesn’t mean anything unless you win it …. But congrats on getting there and hope you do well

Heat 14 was literally last chance saloon it should never have got to that!

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.
