Really? You don't think the Kurtz boys and Holder fly around the Showground?

There'll be riders complaining they can't turn the bikes now.

Nah - happy to take 1. Rob Branford guesting for Redcar could be their ace in the pack.

Looking at the PL table, it seems I need to be rooting for Ippo tonight. Need to stop the Banditos picking up more away points and push them down the table a bit.

Have you put an ippo sticker on your ding-a-ling baldyman?

Yep would have been a dead cert otherwise.

Hard to say really. Saw Rob at Ippo last week and he was very impressive - 2 great heat wins. But Max at home is no slouch - just his away form that lets him down a bit.

Dang - so Ricky Wells was out of reach!! Too bad.

Obviously too soon for the Monarchs v Weegies thread for Friday's cup meeting, but interesting to see Rob Branford back as guest for Max Clegg who is on Wolverhampton duty!!

Stroll in the park for Ippo.

Go on - there'll be one for you - a nice pink number!!

But it was Wilko that won it.

But Cookie was nearly a second faster in heat 6.

Yes - 6 arrived this morning. Multi colours. Quite neat dainty little things - fit nicely in your pocket. But make a reasonable amount of noise. Don't know if they all sound a bit different - I have only tried one. I'll bring them all along on Thursday.

Certainly it's a different Scunny now from a couple of weeks ago. Damned shame for all of us who haven't raced them yet!

Scored better for the Monarchs!

Konopka - please!

Lolza. Wish I had gone!

I see poor Paco now has a broken ankle to add to his woes. Poor lad.

But Connor Mountain is getting a chance to push himself - at Ippo this Thursday.

So the deal was a pair of weegie kevlars in exchange for a cap and a couple of stickers? Not sure who got the better deal.

I was only going by the weather map on the 6 o'clock news.

Weather forecast on the beeb looking a bit iffy tomorrow.

Well I like to look back on this one courtesy of the Monarchs Chatzone (though nor the final score!).......... IPSWICH 'Sackers' WITCHES...48 1. Leigh Lanham © 3,3,2�,1�,0 = 9+2 2.
