Ipswich v Sheffield Thursday 16th July

I know some people questioned Scott's inclusion but i'd say he's definitely earning his place this season. Good to see Tom back getting wins and oh wasn't Danny missed  getting 4-12 love that!

[TTT]

Brilliant to watch Tom win Heats 13 & 15 tonight on the BSN stream.

Hopefully that's going to be a turning point in his season, Looks like Scotty Nicholls has finally dialled back into Foxhall again with back-to-back big scores.

Danny King has been fantastic this season, Going to be a tough decision for Mayfield in 2027 because Danny's average is going to sky rocket if this continues to a point where it could be anything between 7.50 and 8.00.

Hope you enjoyed the meeting and overall happy with the riders and management 

 

Regarding King in 2027 it will be easy for Mayfield to move him on, but he's been a great servant to the witches and British  Speedway

Tough tough decision to be made.  Home track specialist yes, expensive average for away from home 💯

I've been on of his harshest critic's but he's been fantastic this year, will be a shame if he misses out on a return due to the silly 40 point limit

That was actually the most enjoyable meeting and atmosphere at Foxhall this year for me, to watch Brennan walk around interacting with the fans for the Ben fund and then go out in his following three races and really put on a show, as a true witch, that was the best thing I could have witnessed. Good team managing with Scotty and Brennan for 15 to get the 5-1 and then the 5-4 in heat 16. The only downside for me, is the fact Lawson yet again doesn’t do the parade… his time has to be up. Strong management decisions are needed on his future. Straight swap for Adam Ellis for me!

hes just taking the piss now, or is he just winding the fans up on purpose, what harm does standing on back of a truck for 5 mins cause

His pit bay was empty before the end of the Superheat.

Probably the toughest Team decision they'll ever have to make imo.

King's GSA will be in the same bracket as No.5's and he can't ride at No.5 so it's a big problem when it comes to Team Building.

Do Mayfield go for an out-an-out No.1 and then scrap a No.5 altogether to fit King in or do they ship King off to Northampton and go with a proper No.1 and No.5?

Brennan should be pencilled in for the No.3 imo so King may have to ride with his head a little bit to keep his average down if he wants to return imo, Try and let Brennan finish ahead of him when Team Riding like Lawson has done for years when it comes to his Team partners.

Watching BSN, Lawson looked like he was frustrated with the track and obviously decided after heat 12 he was going home, not a good look.

There should be a rule that no rider should be packing stuff away until the final race has been completed.

In football you don’t see Subs walking off ten minutes before the final whistle to get changed even if all the subs have been used.

When BSN asked Hurry who was in Heat 15, he said: “Brennan and Nicholls because that’s all I’ve got left!”.

After the meeting when all the riders went to wave to the fans and the fans stayed behind. Pissed me off that did!

Most matches Lawson is one of the last to arrive and then rocks up with dirts bikes, and if he is about in the pits before the meeting he don't always bother with the track walk or parade, he may be a regular points scorer home and away but he certainly aint no team player, dunno how his attitude rubs off with the rest of the team in the pits.

These kind of reactions from him shows why krakow kicked him out of their team last week. He needs to be removed from the Witches squad with immediate effect.

I was at the meeting so didn’t hear all of this stuff that was being shown on BSN but reading this is just the final piece of the puzzle to get him removed.

[mikebv]

Once upon a time, a man with two jobs repeatedly turned up for his second job just in time to start it..

And he did his second job quite well most weeks, although he didn't always spend too much time getting involved with his work mates or customers..

As he had a main job he would often leave his evening job as soon as he could, so he could get back home, as he had to be up early for his main job the next morning...

Some people didn't like him doing this...

But he wasn't bothered...

The End..

Same as Poole fans do …. Just that we know our track is awful but Poole fans somehow are blinkered about theirs 

But as I said if you attack it properly like Pickering did and Bewley does then it’s ok …. Holder is always beat before he starts 

Gavan, you go on about Dan’s (trier) & Brady’s (slacker) performance around Foxhall. Could you do me a favour and look back over the last ten meetings at Foxhall involving both riders and let me know how many times Dan was the better of the two? If they have an unequal amount of rides just work out their average for that meeting to arrive at the better performer. We can then hopefully draw a line under this matter. Many thanks.

It's currently 37 points (technically 40, but Rising Stars can be higher than 3.00 while still at #7 for team building, i.e. Edwards at the start of this season, and continuing.
