Adam Ellis out with an injury from Sweden Tuesday night and now operating RR. He is having an MRI scan in Poland.

Huge blow at Foxhall that especially with how poor Dan has been at home lately . His away performances have generally been poor, but we know he can get double figures regularly at home. Hopefully it isn’t too serious and a season ender..

As mentioned kings Lynn have a 1-5 that ride Foxhall better than most other 1-5’s in the league irrelevant of how good these riders are … for example Kvech and Lawson ride Foxhall better than Kurtz and Bewley even though they aren’t as good riders

Dan T has scored 2 in three of the last 4 home matches

Ellis who scores big at Foxhall missing means this is open for Kings Lynn for sure

Ellis does score big at Foxhall on occasions,you make it sound he does it all the time.Was it a 6 and a 5 against Lynn this season.Shouldn’t Ipswich be able to cover that?

He is 5th best at home this season,just where he is in the overall averages.

what for racing..

Gerry Facenna in the Star this week talks about how the racing is paramount to the sports future success...

As it brings the punters back...

Preparing tracks just to win, and not to provide entertainment, is something he simply doesn't agree with...

He must come on here looking at the ideas he has to improve his business.......:D

Teams should be able to put the riders where they want in the top 5.

Being restricted with having the RS at 7 means no option at reserve (at least in the championship you can have your reserves any way round). With having to have your best rider at 1 means you are limited there also (Belle Vue are also better with Kurtz at 1 and Bewley at 5 as an example).

It's only your "best" rider forced to be at #1 because of the Rolling Averages.  It's a made-for-TV-rule that needs to be relaxed, at the very least to enable the Team Manager to put the top average rider at #1 or #5.

Jan has averaged 5.09 in his two visits this season. 8 from 6, 6 from 5

Rich. 5.60  9 (5) and 5 (5).

 Your not Shuvvy are you ;)

Edit..  Just checked, both Kurtz and Dan have both averaged  just 6.13. Both 23 from 15 rides. :blink:

The Adam of last week would be a huge miss as he top scored ? Plus pulled off a great ride in heat 15! 
 

witches still should win but…..

Be interesting to see what the boys do tonight, what mood they are in and if they go for every inch or are now preparing for the play offs and will back out of ‘iffy’ moves.

Remember it’s Ben Fund so everyone bring a few quid 😁

Comfortable home win.

52-38.

King's Lynn's draw in the Cup was an exceptional result. It was well celebrated, but overall, it was just a draw at the end of the day.

Ipswich won't allow that to happen this time for sure.

I think the Prem has the reserve situation spot on. But don't see why the top averaged rider has to go at number 1. Top two at 1 or 5 would be my preference.

Last 2 meetings 10 plus 2 and 11 plus 2….. he is in form

Dan T has scored 2 in 3 matches recently 

On current form at Foxhall Dan replacing Ellis twice is tough
