SPEEDY69 Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 I'm hoping for a rain off on October 9th so will be dancing away that week (i'm in Paris on 9th) so a move to 13th or 16th would be perfect, sod anyone else 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 I am away until the 17th, so I am hoping for a very wet first half of October followed by a warm and dry second half. 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanoXtra Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 If it’s a wet October from start to finish does Ipswich win the league from league position? Genuine question… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question… It will be run, even if its in November. Season is meant to finish in October but it has run in to November before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re winning it at a canter. Absolutely zero chance they throw in a performance like they did at home to Sheffield a few weeks ago when it really matters in a play off final. Everyone knew before a wheel was turned that it would take an injury or two to important riders for anyone else to have a chance. That may still happen of course! SON coming up. But if it doesn’t, there’s only one winner. More than happy to be vaulted in a few weeks time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ipswich are favourites and I'm expecting them to win it all things being equal but I think they will be made to gallop at times rather than canter by Sheffield or Leicester.

Genuine question… The Sheffield v Ipswich home fixture still needs to be raced to decide that 😂 the sport is a farce to be honest. Play offs likely should have been semis BV v Sheff and Ipswich v Leicester… never mind the rain offs for who gets to ride at home second leg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only chance I could see anyone having a sniff was if Ipswich again ran in to injury problems. At full strength, they’re comfortably the best side in the league simple as that. Great top two, excellent third heatleader in Brennan, and a potent reserve in Thompson. Far too strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think we saw the best version of Leicester last night but much of that is down to Ipswich's performance and not allowing the Lions to be at their best. The reserves were the main difference, Kemp is such a frustrating enigma. Emil and Brennan were outstanding, the former was unfortunate in 15 when Douglas parked it in front of him. The second leg ought to be a formality but if Leicester make some starts and get an early lead it could get interesting. Expect the Witches to hit 50 though and have it won before heat 15.

We were robbed of more box office action there! I’ve no doubt Emil would have hunted down those in front of him the way he was going. May not have caught Fricke this time, but would have certainly put him under pressure as he was far quicker all night. Emil was a bit unfortunate actually. Douglas locked up in front of him and made it difficult for Emil to avoid him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for Emil, it was him that made the contact so he had to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying he was unfortunate because although he caught a bit of unseen grip, Douglas had almost ground to a halt in front of him which gave Emil nowhere to go but in to him. He was unlucky.
