  1. am going to do this too! Peterborough could easily have said nothing doing tonight and just poodled about for a 46-44 or something but the integrity of the sport has come out well tonight! Its a real 'what if' for Peterborough really - this squad have impacted the playoffs but had they had this squad all season they could have been in them too!
  2. I hear that the Lasagne is very good (for those that dont know this story the Spuds lost to West Ham a few years back on the final day of the season after being seved dodgy lasagne - allegedly!)
  3. well roger me with a fishfork well done Peterborough, now perhaps everyone can stop moaning!
  4. Mine is the - 'Oh I have heard from a reliable source that it is x to Ipswich' rumours
  5. First time for everything - to be fair there is a chance so lets all crash the updates site tomorrow!
  6. To be fair - Lidsey tho he's been about a few years and is a SWC rider etc - I keep thinking he is much older than 24! Id say he is a senior Aussie now for sure
  7. I think the weakeness for the Witches this year was those 3 home losses, so to cure that riders who are very good at Foxhall are a must - Klindt and Zach Cook fit that bill for me based on this season.
  8. Given how Zach Cook rides (Foxhall) and will be looking for a team place would he fit in there anywhere?
  9. Given how he rides / rode at Foxhall this season i'd almost tempted to recommend Klindt if he could be fitted in and doesnt recommit to KL
  10. I will just leave this here as well - although it was 24 points this time! Lambert surely has done enough for a recall in 2024!
  11. As a speedway fan in general before any club loyalties now - i think its great that Lynn will be back in 2024 - lets hope for a positive season for you as well!
  12. I am slightly surprised at the result at Wolves but Leicester clearly dug in to get the result tonight and have probably just squeezed into the playoffs as a result! so the cup is the final chance unless Leicester get absolutely turned over at Peterborough later this week
  13. For some reason it’s always in a ropey state on a Monday night after the results for an hour or so well done Leicester probably just done enough now
  14. Maybe just maybe Leicester really wanted the win knowing their season might be over without the points
  15. And if yer Aunty had balls she’d be your Uncle! The unpredictability of sport that’ all
  16. Ipswich in the koc for sure Emil is better IMO at Owlerton than Lambert but take nothing away from Pickering on his day he is very good at Owlerton
  17. On paper it suggest an away win but who knows what mnight happen in the KL reserves turn in another 26 point haul between them!
  18. Well good news I can't make either meeting as am on holiday (might try and go to Plymouth instead) so the bad luck charm that is me can't work my magic for the Tigers! My record 3 home losses from 4 matches for Ipswich and 1 from 2 for Sheffield!
  19. The 'Lamberts" aside KL not offered anything really - easy home win - give Holder his due that was a decent comeback to UK racing - there will be tougher tests for sure - Howarth and Pickering also impressive last night but again they will have tougher matches ahead!
  20. In the old days which for me is the late 80s we often did Arena on Thursday or Saturday ( when they switched ) and Hackney on a Friday / we could have done Rye H on the Sunday I suppose for the Hatrick - only ever went once however.
  21. Always loved the 16 lapper and 12 Lappers at Ipswich / Arena of course a lot of individual meetings used to be qualifiers as well like world championship rounds and the Grand Slam etc so there desire was always there for riders to go for it!
  22. I dont watch the GPs in full now, I tend to watch either the shorter highlight version. I much prefer the SWC and team events - even Pairs events I used to like. Individuals can be good for a one of meeting like the NLRC / PLRC etc. I always enjoyed attending Cardiff - but haven't been since Tai came second to Bartosz, and I must admit i feel no need to go again
  23. For me i do i have a fair few tracks about 1 hr to 90 minutes away but they have diminished in options tho - but Scunthorpe, Peterborough, Wolves, Belle Vue, Leicester and Sheffield are all within 90 minutes approx my my house. I suspect Birmingham too. Stoke closed - I made a couple of trips there in the mid 2000s and really enjoyed both. Coventry was probably also about 90 minutes as well, Long Eaton was probably even closer but they have been goen for some time. Of course (sadly) Wolves will join them after this year!
