  1. I think a lot will depend on if Rew is fit to ride after that awful crash on Thursday. Hopefully Jordan can carry on his recent run of form those last 3 rides on Thursday we’re epic! I’m not sure if a team has been so unlucky with injuries as Ipswich this year Doyle out for the season, Emil possibly out for the year as well not forgetting that King,Thompson & Ellis twice have all been side lined at times this year. If I were Hawkins I’d just make sure we come though the meeting fit.
  2. Emil has been named in Toruń starting line up for the 25th August according to their Facebook page just now.
  3. Was Lawson available? Two questions around him firstly would Leicester want him to ride & help Ipswich win as they are going for 2nd place & an Ipswich loss could see us finish 4th meaning that Leicester would avoid us in the play off semi final given our record at their place I can’t blame them. secondly is Lawson able to ride as he was at Foxhall last week & with Nicholls guesting for Doyle does the 8 day rule apply to Lawson as he rode at Foxhall last week? or is the 8 day rule only applicable when guesting at the same track?
  4. I’m not getting all the promotion bashing at the moment. I have done my fair share over the years & indeed i did last year regarding the Riss situation. The fact that King will almost certainly be the first name on the team sheet for 2025 will also grip my s!&t. However this is the same promotion who have brought Doyle to Foxhall & then topped that off by getting Emil onboard. After years of watching poor top flight Ipswich teams having riders of the calibre of those two pulling on the witch is still sometimes dreamland territory. This year without all the injuries King,Thompson,Ellis x2 , Doyle & now Emil we would have walked to a double. Maybe after pulling of the coup of getting Emil perhaps they genuinely thought they could rework the magic & get Zmarlik over from for the run in. Failing with Zmarik & then going with Fast Freddie if the rumour is true would have been fine. Then the injuries to Emil & Adam hit. Lets get behind the boys in the cup final & play offs still plenty to race for before we look at 2025 & hopefully the 3rd year of the Jason, Emil spearhead.
  5. I really hope that you’re wrong although I have a horrible feeling you might be right . One thing is for certain if Emil rides in the uk it will be at Ipswich. Louis put a lot of time & effort into herring Emil to these shores to do that he is obviously respected by Emil’s own management & that of Toruń so maybe we can remain hopeful
  6. I can’t see Pickering coming to Ipswich but would certainly take him or Kvach over King next year both have attacked Foxhall in recent weeks.
  7. With both Jason & Emil missing the heart has been ripped out of the side, King’s interview after the match pretty much confirmed that. we can only hope that Emil can make it back this season & that both Emil & Jason can return next year. Those two have been a breath of fresh air & brought so much to the club. The reason King gets so much stick is because when you really need him be that a pivotal heat or like last night a whole meeting he seems to go missing. He has been on the wrong end of far to many 1-5s at Ipswich in recent seasons when the chips are down against riders he should be more that capable of beating at home. As for the track it was clearly set up to unsettle the Holders I’d expect more of the same for the cup final & play offs. Just need to get Belle Vue out of the way now & regroup for the cup final & play offs.
  8. So the chips are down & the skipper gets 5-1s against 3 times!!
  9. There is about half the normal crowd in tonight 3 home meetings in a week with the one on tv I’m watching at home instead of liv.
  10. Tatum with his made up rules the idea of putting someone off 15 when he fell off at the back & the incorrect graphics!
  11. Kvech will suit his witches kevlars next season
  12. Emil is a lucky guy thankfully nothing serious hopefully we’ll seem him back before long the guy is already an Ipswich legend. As for the track the dirt line build up on the outside is an issue didn’t Danny have a similar crash there last season although that time he was sucked into the air fence.
  13. Perhaps it’s been flood damaged during all the rain offs Lynn have had……or has anyone check the spares cupboard it could be with the spare pit gate parts.
  14. Also had a word with Kvach to keep his average low for his move to Foxhall next year…..Doyle,Kvach, Emil & Ellis up the witches 25
  15. Just out of interest anyone know what Scottie is averaging for us at the moment? I know his bookings for us don’t affect his average, it would be interesting to know given he has spent most of the time at number 1
  16. In Poland they do get help from the local authorities but then Poland does like to invest in amenities & the local communities unlike the uk. However I’m not sure they would get the level of support from the local councils etc if it was ran as a Micky mouse sport like the uk. I’m pretty convinced that if the sport was run properly in the UK & got some half decent media coverage & decent attendance levels the likes of Peterborough, Coventry, wolves would still be going.
  17. That was a more interesting meeting than I thought it would be. Some great efforts from some of the Lynn boys kept it interesting & Ellis was superb from the back. Kvech looked good & took to Foxhall like a duck to water. I hope Louis & Hawkins take note for 2025 :-)
  18. Neither do the guys in charge to be fair. The sport is littered with inconsistent decisions.
  19. Thankfully looks like the fire was in a workshop & not the main stadium.
  20. Reading all the negativity on here around this match admittedly around the Lynn team does make me wonder. kings Lynn have had poor sides for the last few seasons coupled with the various off track issues & rather bizarre postponements. It’s like Buster doesn’t give a toss & I fully expect he will throw his toys out of the pram in October & pull Lynn out of league speedway & put it up for sale. The ironic thing is he is reaping the fruits of his time as chairman of the BSPA. Ive got my enthusiasm back for speedway over the last couple of seasons at Ipswich it’s been a joy to watch. It’s a shame that the sport as a whole isn’t run as professionally & as slick as Ipswich we might be in a better place. I fully intend to enjoy the rest of this season with Emil & Co & as much as I hope I’m wrong I can’t see the leagues being in a strong enough place next year for Emil to return. I really do fear for the future of this once great sport…….as for Thursday 60-30
  21. I thought I’d start this one….doesnt seem to be much interest so far!
  22. The whole situation is with Toby is an odd one, however with employment law regardless of speedway regulations I can’t see how anyone can prevent him earning a living? Toby doesn’t return to the Kings Lynn team after injury for whatever reason. He is then deemed to be withholding his services & receives a 28 day ban that’s fair enough. He is then released from his contract meaning that under employment law he is free to find a new employer. However he is prevented from doing so because even though he has been released from his contract, he has to remain declared in Kings Lynns 1-7 until they can sign a replacement. I’d love to see this get tested legally as it wouldn’t stand up & Toby would be free to sign for another club if that’s what he wished to do. He either has to be contracted & a declared team member or not contracted & therefore not declared. we don’t know the full story perhaps he doesn’t want to return to the uk this year & it’s all smoke & mirrors. Or perhaps he had enough of the circus that is kings Lynn speedway who knows.
  23. Might be correct as per scb regulations but try testing that legally more holes than Swiss cheese!
