one thing which is predictable is acebelle laughing at a sensible post which doesnt favour his team #whoknew

Incredibly difficult to predict opening meetings when you have no kind of form guide. In theory Ipswich should comfortably win the tie on aggregate because they have a better side, that’s a fact. BUT, Ipswich have more questions that need answering than Belle Vue. Has King’s hand surgery worked? Or will he still be heavily restricted in his movement? Doyle’s first competitive meeting for nearly a year, will he be sharp or sluggish. You never know how riders start the season either, even world class riders. Emil last year had all sorts of issues mechanically and didn’t get going for a couple of months. He inevitably found the solutions and started blitzing everybody again but it just shows it’s almost impossible to predict opening meetings. 

Indeed. Or a frost off! 

Definitely 3, possibly 4. Including a very helpful one at Belle Vue a week before this fixture 😉 We should be winning this over 2 legs really. 

The smart money is on a rain off... 😎
