We all know Barker comes with baggage and is a bit of a loose cannon at times but he's a reliable points scorer at reserve and can also do at job riding at number 2, the wheels kinda fell Ipswich's season when he got banned when he did, scored good points for the witches.
I know it might upset a few Lynn fans and was mentioned earlier on in the thread but i wonder if Jack Thomas is an option as Ipswich's RS next season if available, think he'd be a better option then Rowe/Kemp.
Like already been said the crowds really dropped off this last season, my parents have been going there for yrs and my father said he'd never seen such poor crowds compared to previous seasons.
Yeah Kemp have some talent but as said not tough enough and seems to back off when things get tight, he's fine when he gates and gets out in front but doesn't often make any impression if he's missed the gate and at the back.
I'm sure that was always the rule that any GP rider would come in on an 8 point average but who knows these days when the rules seem to change so often
My dad went and said he'd never known a meeting like it where one of the teams actually ran outta riders by the end, Mildenhall were running outta riders left right and centre and couldn't even field one rider come the last heat.
Genuine question, so why was sawdust done away with to soak up water/dry track out, having watched speedway since the late 70's it was always used to in those days to get a meeting on, saw many a meeting at Foxhall saved by a few bags of sawdust.
I thought Tungates Polish season was over from what someone said earlier in the thread but he's currently riding tonight in the play offs, 5+1 from 2 rides.
I'm sure he pissed off most people last time he was at Ipi and even moaned about the track, but haps he's changed over the last few yrs........ hopefully
Yeah remember Kerr dint last long when he was at Foxhall a few yrs ago, dunno what's happened to him this season coz he always was sharp from the gate, haps he's had one crash to many and lost his edge.
