What's the weather doing Ipi way atm, coz im like 15 mile away and it's tipping it down, i know the Ipi trackstaff can turn most wet tracks around but the forecast is to stay like this till early evening at least.

Is Doyley giving the Aussie Championship a miss this year?

Yeah same here, Nokia Android and can't "Like"

Yeah not full time but will be back like a shoot come play off time when someone waves a big fat cheque under his nose

Think Tobi will end up at Lynn

I still wonder if they'll give Jack Thomas another chance rather than young Dan.

I know young Dan had a good run of form before he got injured and wouldn't mind seeing him back again but what's the chances of Jack Thomas being given another chance if he's fully fit again and wants to return to speedway, i know it could be a risk as you never can tell how he'll return after a season out after a bad injury.

Bit like football then, im sure any squad member had to play in 5% of league matches to receive a league winners medal, used to be set at 10% but was lowered to 5%.

Hopefully the powers that be will increase the team building average by a point or 2 so Ipi can run with a couple of big hitters again, we can pretty much guarantee that King will be back again i'd of thought tho.

Congrats to Sheffield, nice to see a fresh name on the throphy, end of the day Ipswich were always gonna struggle if the top 3 didn't score 30 between them as the other 4 riders haven't been good enough all season generally im afraid, end of the day it was a just pleasure to see Emil ride over here for a season.

Will Lambert be bringing his dummy coz it was last seen on the floor in the pits at Foxhall

I'm sure the jumped up little sh*t won't care who wins as long as he scores a load of points and don't get owned by Emil and Doyle again

Ipswich have rode away at Sheffield 3 times this season once in the Cup and twice in the League and didn't score less than 39 in all 3 matches, hopefully the trend will continue this Thursday.

He won his first ride according to updates

I hope im wrong but can't see anything other than another Belle Vue win same as both league matches, Doyle scored 13+1 and 14 in those matches and Ipi still came up short, i can't see Harris scoring anything near that tbf.

Rules seem to be made up as they go along, if it goes ahead later i can see it being damage limitation for the away leg, Harris ain't gonna score no where near what Doyle would and Jack Smith never has done bugger all at this level.

My daughter lives at Martlesham and she said it hammering down late evening into the early hours and that ain't silly far from the stadium, i'd prefer it was called off so Ipi have Doyle back for both legs rather then have to rely on Harris to cover for Doyle.

Getting back to this season as there's still plenty to play for, what's the latest with Dan Thompson, is he due back or is he out for the season and ive missed it, not actually seen any updates on his fitness of late.

It's the same every year tho, teams will be faffing about mid October trying to fit a play off final in no doubt.

Least it gives Doyle the chance of riding in both legs if he's fit enough to ride in the now first leg Thursday.

I think Jack will be advised by his Polish club to sit out the rest of the season over here and concentrate on his Polish commitments and just ride over there till their done plus the remaining GPs if he's had no reaction from riding last night that is, as for guests it's a bit premature mentioning Fricke coz as it stands Leicester still have a fighting chance of the play offs, Ipswich have to win at King's Lynn really and hope Leicester don't pick up any points from their last couple of meetings.

I believe by what was said on another thread that it was indeed his new engine that let go in his first race, and obviously his 2rd bike wasn't up to much as he then failed to score a point all meeting.

And what size are her fun bags

I think Rew was cut a bit of slack first half of the season after coming back from a pre season injury and riding fresh tracks he hadn't seen before, he doesn't really have any excuse for his poor scores now tbf, he's generally been very disappointing.

I'm not sure if Boughen can ride in top league as a RS, i saw on another thread he'll be assessed as a 2 pointer which only allows him to ride in Championship, don't think you can ride in the top league unless your a 3 pointer or higher, that's what i read anyway.
