TTT Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago It doesn't matter this season as Ipswich are a lock for 4th place albeit cannon fodder in the play-offs. However Paul Hurry will need to learn from his mistakes and make sure that they don't happen again in 2027 like tonight where he threw away the Bonus Point by leaving Musielak out of Heat 15. It's not as simple as picking whoever scores the most points for you on the night, Far more too it than that, You need to look at who the points were scored against. For example, Lawson filled his boosts against Kildemand and Zischke all night, Where's Musielak beat Kurtz and Harris in Heat 11 as well as beating Harris in Heat 4. Overall I'm happy with the win.

A good solid all round performance tonight. In particular the 5 1 over Kurtz and Harris. On the subject of the track, asking a lay question. Have we spent too many years messing around with it?

ouch Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago I think both teams can be happy with that result. A home win and another bonus to The Aces. When taking the RR rides and Jason’s replacement into account we were around 35 points for the team average. Very weak and some 3 points behind the home team so to get the win over two legs was a fine achievement. Seems the racing was once again an issue at Foxhall. I’d role my eyes and anticipate more of the same had the last lot still been about who were happy to plod on no matter how poor the product - sound familiar. Being a like minded chap I wouldn’t be surprised to see Colman reach out to his British GP colleagues in an attempt to iron out these issues with the circuit. Might venture down again once the magic has been administered. Well done to all riders, staff & fans for being part of this meeting on a hellishly hot evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any possibility of racing is absolutely strangled from the off. Follow the leader on repeat for 15 hearts month in month out and year in year out. Tripe. Nonsense, if that were true Redcar and belle Vue would be packed every meeting but they are in exactly the same boat as everyone else. The racing makes no difference to crowd levels.

The racing makes no difference to crowd levels. Success is what brings in crowd levels. Has always been the case. Exeter were a prime example of that in the premier days, regular got well over 1000 a week due to winning at home 99 percent of the time even though they were awful away from home most of the time. And the racing there was absolutely rubbish, gate and go. Having a big council funded stadium with a nice, good race track doesn't guarantee a good crowd as Belle Vue have found out.

Certainly he's much more hit and miss, even in the Championship. He is getting on now though not going to be the same rider as he was a decade ago.
