It’s what we pay our money for - today at the NSS we had some cracking heats - The Holders Dan etc - sadly BV tonight - Dan B excepted weren’t really up to it!

Witches had been very impressive at Owlerton this year - I’d say only Leicester right now stand in the Tigers way for the title - Bv not good enough tonight and struggled to win this AM!

He was trying to block him to let Jenkins through from what I could see good effort by the Witches

Maybe so but it was still a decent defensive ride - when Blodorn tried to get past Thompson you felt that it was almost by accident that Thompson blocked him off. Ben cook does like the inside line he tried the same in heat 14 on Josh this morning!

Fair play to Edwards good ride that!!

I can see Graham the track man going round on the TV!

How Bewley stayed on there was impressive I thought he was a gonna! sadly apart from that race it really is gate and go as proved when Cook and Bewley got out in front of Chris Holder and Josh! unfortunately due to The aces bad start this meeting was over ages ago

Wasn’t just me then - I thought I was having a seizure for a moment

I feel I may have made the correct decision to go to the NSS and not Owlerton tonight - so far not a patch on the noon match. Interesting that two riders look completely different to the morning - Kyle Howarth and Voulas - I suppose that’s home track advantage for you

Goodness the Ipswich team looks nothing like it should - if Brum can’t win tonight I don’t think they ever can

Yes decent attendance 2k+ I would have said - the chap I sat next to in the fourth bend area of the grandstand said normally I have this area to myself!!

It was in Heat 15

I’ll just leave this score prediction here - great meeting and great racing although heat 15 itself was a non race once the Aces gated

Been a great meeting - last heat decider coming!

Well I made it and parked up now looking forward to a good match! Have to say really impressed with the set up so far at the NSS!

Thanks for the all the parking advice - I plan to get across pretty early so will examine options! still think this maybe closer than expected hit still expect a home win maybe 48-42 ish

I am sooo old clearly i like to get a programme - last season at Sheffield v BV they ran out of programmes and i didnt get one - i had to create a scorecard on my phone so i could keep tabs of the score!

Planning to visit the NSS for this - having looked at the website it suggests plenty of parking about - the South Car park seems the best option if you are just turning up on the day? The £3 as well and if so is it cash or card or do you have to pia (pay in advance? Onto the match - well should be a good one i reckon - slender home win for me!

That's a fairly decent guest list - will be close i reckon!

Shame as Zach scored really well for Woves at Foxhall in 2023 so I was hoping / expecting more. Decent effort but not enough - nice to see Jordan getting some decent points. I wonder if the Witches can buck this dip and beat Birmingham next week I actually have that down as one they can perhaps win.

Some won’t get that! actually one bright spot was Doyley being interviewed - Ipswich need him back in 2025!!

I really hope you get Peterborough back one day!

Fair points there - I like to think because my club have now closed down I am more circumspect about things particularly teams loyalties etc last night was just a hard watch - from the racing / presentation / amateurs doing the camera and graphics / if I was a proper Sheffield fan I would have taken no joy in that win as the entire lot was just rubbish! The Witches simply fell apart the moment The tigers went ahead! But well done them - you can only beat what’s in front of you - it doesn’t represent Ipswich well to see a large stadium almost deserted and a team with 3 of the regular side out! I know having been a lot that you can and do get good meetings and racing there normally when either Jason or Emil are riding through from the back! Eurosport / Discovery+ couldn’t do any worse but to sub the entire process out to the BSN who do a better job in my view! I can only assume the summer intern was updating the scores last night and has no knowledge or interest in speedway the number of mistakes made! I fear the season is over for the Witches - Leicester my team to watch out for!

To be fair you won there in 2023 when he out gated both Jason and Emil to win heat 15 wee sod was out the traps like a rabbit with a lurcher after it!

Track is tricky - nothing like it was on thurs last week! Witches might regret dropping these points early on! and who the heck is doing the scores! Bewley seems to be enjoying the track however
