Any news if Dan Thompson and Nick Morris have been declared fit?  Down in the area but don’t fancy watching a Leicester guestfest select team 

Might just be worth it anyway for the second half on vintage machines. Plenty going on for the 75th anniversary

Might not be your thing I don’t know, but I think it’ll attract quite a few who haven’t been in recent times/years.

Let’s see how they feel on Wednesday as bruising can feel worse after a day or Two but would say more likely Dan will ride but Nick may be out a little bit longer to recover

If Lawson has a good meeting I wonder if a certain Ipswich fan who if his nurse gives him his mental health drugs will actually praise him.

Lets see if he makes it first! 😶

(I hope he does as he should score pretty well)

Guesting in this league now is quite literally like pass the parcel. What an absolute sh1tshow!

That is probably why riders should be drawn at the start of each week to ride for whatever team that has matches that week. No longer any reason to consider any rider belongs to a particular team. They are all self employed journeymen and the authorities should stop pretending that it is a true team sport. No it is not the same as it use to be and it is a league with an overall squad system in place. They wonder why you cannot sell it to TV, but it needs wholesale change. This anniversary at Ipswich is a milestone but will not generate the same level of interest it would have done ten or more years back with local people in charge and custodians of a truly local team. The local team support with local people you can relate to has long gone. Good luck to the witches for tomorrow night and those providing the second half racing but sadly it is not the same Ipswich it once was.

A participant is a person who takes part in, shares in, or does an activity, event, or game. The plural form, participants, refers to two or more individuals involved in a group effort, study, meeting, or contest.

Can this above from the dictionary be read out and recited by every promoter.
