40-38

Will suit Nick Morris if he stays with Sheffield then 😂

I mean that would just about sum up the state of British Speedway really. I'd assume if a "dead" club was to ride at Oxford it would have to be Swindon or Reading, and even then it wouldn't work unless they were certain of getting their own home sooner rather than later. Unless of course you're mad enough to try the Swindon Racers or the Reading Robins and amalgamate the two!

I'd be a bit concerned at Douglas being No.1 although it would all depend on the strength of the league overall. He had a great season this year but whether he could maintain that sort of form again...?

He has ability but you have to question his mentality.

If there was an award for British Speedway rider of the year he'd be the deserved winner.

Well done Ipswich. Easily the best team over both legs of the final.

Realistically its only 4 riders tonight.

I hope Ipswich fans who claimed we bought the ref on Monday are happy with their purchase tonight 😉

On that race where it matters Howarth was holding his line as Douglas was inside him. The justification for Brennan not being at fault from comms was that he held his line too.

As if Doyle never does that.

Rubbish, he never deviated from his line, wasn't that the excuse for Brennan?

What was the difference between that and Brennan on Douglas? Basically the same move and outcome.

If Douglas had to go for that King should have gone back at BP.

Farcical. The other riders were ready.

Leicester would be overjoyed with scores like that from our no.7.

It may well happen everywhere these days, but in any business if your performance is poor and you're seen to be sat on your phone instead of working you'll get very short shrift from most managers!

Atmosphere went a bit flat because of the pasting we were getting.

I've seen clearer images with a potato. How can you claim that shows anything?

Harris wanted out, so a swap was arranged. He might bitch about it now but he was dreadful and his heart wasn't in it.

Ipswich are stronger without Ellis.

To be fair Ellis and King usually win at least one race around BP, and we've struggled to win heats 8 and 14 this year at home.

I can't believe that. I feel sick.

Lovely dry day ahead, but cold, so wrap up warm tonight.
