Aries Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 Going to need a 14-16 point lead to take to Leicester to have a realistic chance I think. Not likely but we’ll see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both legs will very close. I’m expecting a Leicester win on aggregate but hoping the witches can battle to a overall win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 I’d switch Dan Thompson and Nick Morris around, think Dan and Kyle Howarth would make a better combination and putting Nick Morris with Ryan Douglas wouldn’t impact Morris’ inability to team ride as Douglas generally is a get out front and put head down sort of rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralMelchett Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 Was the last meeting of the two when Leicester came good in the later stages - Witches were not helped by no King and Lawson so expect a home win this time - looking forward to it as I will be there! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTRSports Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 Probably going to say 50-40 to Ipswich on this one, the mighty lions to edge it by 4-6 points on aggregate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 I've only been once this year,, but tempted to go tonight,,but due to the weeks of dry weather we have been having,, I just know the racing will be awful. Mmm decisions decisioms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 Track will be like every other in the Country right now, dry and dusty, has those that prepare track forgotten how to handle hot summers, most have been doing it for more years than they care to recall, or is it the riders insisting they want it like a dustbowl and if its the latter, boy are they going to be in for a shock once the weather eventually turns in a couple of months.

That’s simply because the track man was forced by the referee to tyre pack the track after Dickson’s complaints, despite the track man telling him it would only make things worse. Which it did! The track was prepared exactly the same as the previous two meetings as Hurry pointed out. Dickson didn’t think it would suit his team so kicked up a fuss and complained to the referee. The ref was weak unfortunately. Taps is correct, we should prepare it exactly how we like which gives us home advantage and stuff anyone from the away team that doesn’t like it. The “dangerous” stuff was utter nonsense. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's extremely true,, you can have 15 races no genuine passes and the comments on the socials after the meeting will be how brilliant the meeting and racing was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
