What's on offer tonight really should be 2nd half stuff (at all senior meetings) Trouble is there is a disparity between the riders …. 7 riders who ride at championship level including Rushen and the rest out of their depth which makes it a poor spectacle Mulford shouldn’t be riding either Poole v Glasgow was shocking you can’t compare a league match to an individual where the field is anything but level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's on offer tonight really should be 2nd half stuff (at all senior meetings) Yes you are right and all second half meetings should be using these riders. Take it for what it is, which is those trying to make a way in the sport. It has costs supporters nothing if you are watching the stream so I don’t see an issue. For the purist who only want league racing it is not for those followers. Credence for Ipswich and the mentors who have been on site offering help and advice and putting the meeting on. No different to some of the meetings in Poland with the junior riders. I really do not get those who criticise this level but each to their own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear in mind if there was one big league those in the line up tonight would be the 2nd strings and reserves...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a pairs the one rider left would score 4 points the 2nd pair would get 5 points, yes robbing the fans of one race, but was about 22.10 when the heat ran, Ipswich might have a curfew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShanoXtra Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) The meeting was abandoned due to curfew. The pairs race does not officially stand, although Kev on the centre green said Ipswich will recognise the result. Cooper was who most people went tonight to watch let’s be honest and he didn’t disappoint, best moves made by him and best bike control when he almost ended up on the stock car track. To finish 2nd only to a Premiership rider isn’t a bad nights work. I’m sure Mr Louis will have his eye on him. Probably a crowd of 200/300? The back straight stand was almost empty with everyone choosing to stand on bends one and two which is normally underneath the cameras, or in the smaller start line stand, I was there so can’t say how it looked on TV. Ipswich held the best 2025 crowd last week (including Manchester SGP), tonight was more like our equivalent crowd for SoN 😂 Edited 1 hour ago by ShanoXtra . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
