Im hearing Belle Vue might prefer Semi leg 1 at home. 

Banger racing at Foxhall on 19th so, assuming those predictions are accurate, the second Monday would probably suit Ipswich better in terms of track prep.

I’m pleased for the management at Ipswich that they’ll have the first leg at home because that will ensure a much better crowd than a second leg with very little hope of progression after a probable thumping at the NSS. That isn’t be defeatist, just realistic.

It’s been a trying first season for them due to the lateness of the takeover so a chance to swell the coffers a little is welcome.

Crazy that Belle Vue have chosen it

It’s certainly has been a trying season for the witches with just a 4th place finish & a KO cup final. 

Having been use to the last few seasons of success with Jason & Emil steering them to a 4th place finish & a KO cup final in 2023 and a 4th place finish & a KO cup final in 2024 it must be hard for their fans to take this year’s level of mediocrity.

Excellent.

It’s been flat this year losing not just one, but both hugely popular heatleaders and the crowd level has taken a hit. You knew what I was getting at.

But carry on being a dickhead 🙄

I’m sure the lads appreciate your take on them this season. I’d imagine they felt quite chipper having pretty much emulated the great teams of 2023/4, but then have you and others telling them it’s been a trying, make do and mend team that fans what to see the back of with the hope for a better year in ‘27. There’s a word for fans like that which you are very aware of - apparently.
