  1. Predicted but well done the Aces, i think it was called very early in the season no wobbles etc deserved it! Jason back to Ipswich please for 27!
  2. Friday night is my playing football night and I won't be interrupting this for the 2nd leg, I hope its a good meeting what we really need is Sheffield to come out in heat 1 with a 5-1 which might just give the Aces the jitters and the Tigers a bit of confidence. Its bright and sunny on the right side of the Pennines 😉 I fully expect the Aces to win and claim the trophy however.
  3. I started going to Football in the early 80s ( my old man used to stand on the chicken run at West ham) so speedway was tame in comparison! I still look back very fondly on the Wolves v Cradley and Cradley V Wolves matches I attended.

  5. It reminded me a bit of the old Cradley V Wolves / Coventry cup final / league meetings i attended in the 80's - as the teams have reduced in numbers the travelling distance has also not helped. Often you get very few away fans - Matches at Sheffield certainly of late are best when its either BV or Leicester in town. The BV fans did get louder as the night went in their favour although acoustics would mean they were probably not that audible on the home straight etc. At Ipswich its Kings Lynn or used to be Peterborough. in the old days at Arena when Hackney were about it was always a good atmosphere.
  6. Yes I reckon 2500 maybe a wee bit more (max 3k) there was a decent amount of BV fans which gave it a decent slightly sparky atmosphere which reflected the jeopardy of the event. Crowd definitely up more than usual.
  7. Cook was in many ways why you won tonight a solid 9 backing up the big two!
  8. Sadly it’s a complete waste of time and I won’t be going for one - BV clearly deserved the win a few Sheffield riders need to take a bit of a hard look at themselves as they weren’t good enough tonight! Racing was good until about halfway when it got somewhat processional.
  9. Won’t happen best they can hope for is a narrow home win based on the match so far
  10. Enjoying this so far - frantic riding some pantomime booing it’s all happening! Good to see a decent crowd too.
  11. I have feeling it will be closer than that but let’s see! Looking forward to it anyway - it’s grey and overcast but no real rain suggest so let’s hope all good for tonight
  12. Too many people don't think or read about issues - the devil is always in the detail!!
  13. We need more than one GP in the UK - sadly none of the current 'stadia' really can come up to the capacity of Ipswich which can at hold 10k, NSS nice though it is and I am a big fan of the track and set up needs top be bigger for these events in my opinion. The Oasis thing for 2027 is a blow for the NSS if it can't happen but would imagine 2028 return - definitely maybe?
  14. Too many people prove the old saying better to be thought a fool etc the fact is they can also get more people in at Foxhall - see people cling to this notion we can get Cardiff back - not realising the huge costs of running the GP and forgetting the racing wasn’t up to much! don’t disagree that the NSS is a great racetrack and little stadium but we do need to get more than one venue involved!
