Very interesting programme notes from the Witches promotion effectively calling out promoters being 'too willing' in calling off fixtures particuarly if their is just the slighest risk of rain! Its a habit that needs breaking! He also cited the last rain off in the FIM/SGP was in 2021 - just 2 rain offs in 200 meetings!

Garbage! Most Lions fans are thrilled with his contribution this season. You might want to look at the riders scores again? Kemp could have scored more than he did if not for mechanical issues ( his own fault admittedly).Dougy was outstanding and the rest of the team were solid against the team that has the best combined heat leader trio in the league. Tonight was a great example of what team speedway should be about.

It's mostly the shape, the surface is usually well prepared. It's a small track with tight turns that require riders to turn the bike hard, which many are not used to. If there's a little too much dirt or it's greasy then it can be even more difficult, especially for newbies.

Enjoyed this, Chris Adams managed his side well given the hand he was dealt with injuries etc, got the most of of a 4 (maybe5) man Foxes side! A bit gate and go however but a few good races and one or two good moves from the home riders. Agree that Kye Thomson is a cracking rider and he mixed it really well. Witches needed more from some riders - both Lawson and TomB didn't do enough tonight for me. It was nice to see Jordan back and I do wonder why he hasn't been given a spot ahead of Kennett - nothing against Kennett but Jenkins did enough for me to think why isn't he in?

Does anyone know why Sam Masters was selected for heat 15?

A fair few times in their youth days - in fact I think Cairns rode a few times for one of the Armadale National Junior League sides. And both have been good on NDL visits last year - Cairns with an 18 point maximum. They'll both do well tomorrow, I think.

It’s fair to say without Kemp you would have lost tonight. You really need to get of his back.

You can't afford to carry one rider, especially a heat leader, when you're operating R/R and - but for one race - the Foxes were carrying two. Only followed on updates but it seemed like the referee had another interesting meeting. Still, a narrow home win is good for business and in these turbiulent times, good for business is good for the sport.

It’s a speedway track that requires a nice bit of throttle control and skill which seems to be beyond a lot of modern day riders with bikes that require it.

My minimum expectation is Doyle, Musielak, Brennan and King as a Top 4.

Musielak has to be the first name on the team sheet next season no matter what his average is, Proven that he's not lost it on British tracks and he just had a couple of rough season's because he was at the wrong clubs. Think we're learning a lot about Tom Brennan this season, Maybe his limit is an engine room 3rd Heat Leader?

I tell you what,, Kye has to be the signing of the season,, I bet hardly any other clubs even considered him.

some good races tonight hard riding too. kemp and flint classic, both giving and taking, and no arguing after.. like it.

Kemp seemed alright with it though 🤷‍♂️

And Flint's move there was naughty. Turning right on the straight.

Clueless or trolling? Ipswich fans are not fickle we have had the biggest crowds even through the crap years and lower league …. One of if not the best supported clubs And although Brennan and Lidsey ride at one they aren’t exactly good enough to be number ones and Lidsey again doing his usual Foxhall performance.

How can they re-run ht 14 if they'd started the last lap when the lights came on?

To be fair to them... they did come out and pin it down in the right position 👍🏻 ... the Premiership CEO must have been watching on BSN 🤔😉

Is it for the drone to capture? Or maybe its done to look like a 3D one like they do at cricket?...

Well, that livened up eventually with some pretty decent action in the end on a super slick track.

So please give me a little insight to what's special about Armadale? Is it the layout, the surface, track prep, what? From previous threads I do know it's not the chips, best avoided apparently.

Then close your eyes when his races are on or just watch the tractors between heats 4,8, & 12….

I wonder if the guy who was posting on here asking questions has had anything to do with it?

I take it back it appears to be quite good. With some meetings also including a commentary it might just catch on.

No to the other live updates. No comparison to attending unless you live so far away that the cost out weighs the return in which case nip down the pub and enjoy a pint and look at the phone. Bit like most people do when they contribute to the hospitality industry by paying over the odds for crap food, expensive drinks and supporting those who expect someone owes them a living.
