Jeez - have weegies really thrown away a point? Unbelievable.

Check the score. EXACTLY as I said. We know these things you know.

Err you knew that when you signed him!!

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Who said Harris is too good for this division?

Sheffo going well! Harris & oystercard! 😂😂 Sheffo going well! Harris & oystercard! 😂😂

Exactly. And I get stick for saying things like that! Arguably the number one of a two man team missing. Replaced by the likes of Rose & Morris. Get real. It's 4 points in anyone's language especially when newcy have by far the worst reserves in the league.

Huge stroll in the park for Weegies with Super Stevie being injured. 4 points or forget any thoughts of the play-offs.

The proof will be how well you go at foxholes. Performances have been embarrassing there.

Must be the heat.

I think the tigers will thrash the panters especially now they have Shanes. Panters top 5 is not as immense as Ippo's.

Thanks very much for the update screm.

Don't know that the track was to blame for those three coming off. Sam admitted he made a mistake trying a big cut back - I've read that Rory's mistake was from trying to go impossibly slowly - I think Danny was going for a big blast. And Connor Mountain seemed to manage to stay upright ok.

I look forward to resurrecting this post later in the season!!

I wasn't there so can't say. But they were 6 up at one stage so can't have been that bad. I still think Ippo are a strong team. And for all their supposed weakness at reserve, Mountain managed to stay on board all night and the reserves scored 9+2 between them compared to our 10+2 (of which paid 10 were the walk-overs).

But a lot of folk don't like the idea of the play-offs and prefer a straight league system. So for them the season is over too? But there are always winners and losers in any system. Don't think the top 4 setup is why folk are not attending in great numbers. Plenty of bigger reasons.

But one of them had an ef; another had a fall and an ef; and the other had seen his bruv carried off in an ambulance.

That's a bummer. It'll probably be rained off though so no worries. Your season is becoming as bad as ours was last year.

Dunno what forecast you were looking at but the BBC one for Armadale yesterday said ................ 14.00 thick cloud 14 15.00 light cloud 14 16.00 thick cloud 14 17.00 thick cloud 15 18.00 thick cloud 15 19.00 thick cloud 15 20.00 thick cloud 16 21.00 thick cloud 15 22.00 thick cloud 15 So no rain forecast at all - so they watered it I believe and then it rained.

Erik's fall was nothing to do with the track. His steel shoe came off causing him to fall. Same as Kyle Newman at ippo the other week. The track has been made more grippy as requested by the riders but the rain last week and again yesterday caused the track to be more tricky. But the good riders cope with these things - witness Sam's overtakes last night and Erik's second fastest time of the season in heat 5 last night.

Grippo all round then. Assuming you ever have another home meeting that is!

Strange ippo were struggling with the track so much given how grippy foxholes is. Would have thought Newman & Heeps were experienced enough to have been able to stay on the bikes in heats 14 & 8? Can appreciate all the younger / less experienced ones on both sides struggling a bit cos they don't see grip often these days. Certainly were 2 massive (!!) heats. Oh well you'll just have to thump the Weegies instead!

Such a pity that the track has been made very tricky by rain 2 weeks running. Could /should have been a showpiece. But both teams seemed to be trying to give it away with falls and engine failures. Hope Mark Riss makes a speedy recovery.

It's modern expressionist poetry!

No way! Home from Home for Roo Boy & Sedgy. In fact I think Sedgy will score better than he ever does at Foxholes.

King flies there Sedgy flies there. Heeps flies there. Roo Boy flies there. Sam flies there. Cleggy flies there. Erik flies there. Erik's big bro flies there. Rickaaaaay flies there. Joshie flies there. Mitch flies there.
