Go back to the Poole v Berwick thread and I say it like it is that our track is awful Pooles is as well just none of you can admit it

Yes r/r got you pretty much what Cook would have scored having got 3,3 and 1 and a surprising 7 as well so 2 is roughly what he would have got Still not sure how we won the meeting with the weakest 1-7 we have had in years …. Last season Emil Doyle Ellis and Dan T replaced this season with Lawson Musielek Nicholls and PHB all vastly inferior to the riders they replaced and still Belle Vue can’t win Kurtz as expected scored heavily … might have been different if he had a big meeting at the weekend but we can’t be that lucky every time We can’t possibly beat Belle Vue over 2 legs they are so good at home where riders like Blodorn and Tate and Kildemand don’t have to really worry about a skill set just got to open the throttle and go for it …Kurtz and Harris do have the skill set to ride anywhere because they are class riders .. we need to hope they get Sheffield in the semis lol Bonus point doesn’t matter really we will still be 4th as even though we are weak we still better than Lynn or Northampton Maybe next season if we take out Tobi and King and have a couple of weaker riders than Belle Vue can win at Foxhall who knows

I don’t think anyone can call Kurtz or Harris throttle jockeys lol Harris loves the dirt but doesn’t do well at Foxhall usually And Kurtz can ride Foxhall he has scored double figures a few times and I expect him to tonight with ease with not GP on the line at the weekend

All depends on which Kurtz and which Harris turns up Blodorn been doing better this season so might do better tonight No Doyle so going 42–48

Poole fans literally go into hiding when they don’t get the expected result on here Good to see a strong referee as well

I agree Just that for some reason he can’t accept you are generally poor at Foxhall same as we are at the NSS…. Will always be the odd anomaly but that’s the sport I will be shocked if yuh don’t beat us Thursday

That’s a great result for Berwick did not see that coming Rushen great talent that he is is starting to show signs of a bit if petulance but he’s only young but might need a steady influence …. Definitely over rode tonight something Brennan is sometimes guilty of at Ipswich match finely balanced now

Why no Jenkins in heat 14? surely it’s flint and Morris in heat 15?

Young Rushen getting all riled up for no reason ..: needs one of the calmer heads to get hold of him

When is Poole ever easy it’s a crap track and yes we at Ipswich have one as well Not easy to prepare with the heat so an already poor track just becomes a shocker

I’ve read some crap in my time but this is right up there

2022 Ipswich won twice at Foxhall and Belle Vue once 2023 Ipswich won once at Foxhall and Belle Vue twice admittedly one of those we had riders missing 2024 Ipswich won once at Foxhall and Belle Vue won once …. Though again when Belle Vue won we had no Doyle no Emil and Rew got injured in his first race 2025 3-0 Ipswich and comfortably So yes the odd time you done ok but recently you have only won when we had riders missing Hence this Thursday Ipswich have their fulll 1-7 and Belle Vue will be favourites this time There is no harm in admitting teams don’t go well at certain tracks and when you have riders like Kurtz Bewley cook Blodorn and Lidsey they don’t really perform at Foxhall Kings Lynn last season were a much worse side than Belle Vue but at Foxhall gave us our toughest test because their riders ride our place better As I said I’d be stunned if Belle Vue don’t win tomorrow with no Cook and Doyle riding

Never will Belle Vue have a better chance to beat a full strength Ipswich at Foxhall R/R for a rider who can’t ride the place is a help…. Does Doyle get a ride? A much weaker Ipswich side than last season ….plus the aces are stronger at Foxhall with Doyle instead of Bewley and no Lidsey Will the Kurtz who didn’t try in the play offs show up or will he be on it as there is no GP for 2 weeks 50-40 Aces

Wasn’t a million miles away with predicted scores Last season we had Doyle Emil Danny and to a lesser extent Ellis and Dan T who all were ok at Belle Vue Replacing them with Lawson and Nicholls means we are always likely to get pumped up there The only saving grace is that they can’t ride ours that well but now they have Doyle if expect them to win at Foxhall if Kurtz can get 10 or so

55-35…. Brady shouldn’t be beaten 18 points Cook and Blodorn 9 each Kildemand 7 Tate 8 Cairns 4 For us Tom 7 King 6 Lawson 5 Nicholls 2 Musielek 9 PHB 2 Edwards 4 Lets see if im close or hopefully a million miles away lol
