Ipswich vs King’s Lynn Thursday 21st August

[GeneralMelchett]

This is the result I expected in the KO cup match! Good to see Tom hitting form and better results of Dan, seems that despite the poor R/R score the rest of the team just did the jobs expected, curious on the crowd as it as good as last week?

Did the Witches management miscalculate for Thompson last night?!  According to the new Rolling Averages, which will be the Green Sheets for September, he is 0.04 above Ellis ...

It certainly looks like it.They wouldn't get the extra 5% on his average for their home matches then,and would have to have a guest if he isn't fit.

Obviously must be the way Ipswich want the riders.

If Dan Thomson was last in heat 15 instead of Jason Edwards then he would be 6.00 and still at reserve.

Is it not possible that the riders simply want to do their best in every race they're in?

Out of respect for the fans / to increase earnings etc.

Thompson had five rides, and when the Witches were comfortable he ran a couple of lasts - I wonder if they miscalculated that would be sufficient? He could have easily run another last in Heat 15 just to be sure.

Leicester kept Masters just below Becker with some tactical non-scoring.

The win here means if Sheffield fail to beat Belle Vue at the NSS, we’ll finish top if we beat Sheffield at home, even losing the away leg AND the bonus to Sheffield.

Well done all. That's a great amount, for a good cause 👏

Not too much passing last night but it finished at a reasonable time 9-15 and the riders were out collecting for the Ben fund. Good to see the tractors not doing about 30 laps 😉

[ShanoXtra]

It’s the top amount any other club has officially announced yet by over a £1,000

[ShanoXtra]

Belle Vue - £1,397

Kings Lynn - £1,043

Leicester - £1,964

Berwick - £1,885

Edinburgh - £1,609

Ipswich - £3,337

No I’m showing you the same details as per what clubs have given to the official website of SRBF. Calm your horses, the money raised is probably inline with attendances of the clubs realistically. I don’t care who gave what as I’m not a rider benefiting from it.
