I really wouldn't bother Dave. The best way to deal with idiots like this and the Alljacks of this world is to ignore them and not take the bait.

Forecast has improved a bit so might be ok today..

A straight swap wouldn't have fitted average wise. But yes I've got to admit the lad is currently doing better than I expected and long may it continue.

Totally agree he's made an excellent start to the season and good to see. Maybe being an Ipswich/Mildenhall asset we missed a trick there? Very easy to say in hindsight of course. Maybe next year.

The track has been awful this season and I've said this a few times already this year, there's very little material on it and the racing is suffering badly. Anyone can see that there's nothing wrong with the track shape now that it's been widened regardless of what an earlier poster said on here. We've seen some terrific speedway the last few years post track changes, but it has to be said that the "racing" this year has been garbage. Apparently the wet winter we had prevented the banking being built up. There is also apparently a load of shale being delivered in the coming weeks. The Ipswich promotion seriously need to get a move on with that before the die hards start walking away too as the regular Thursday night attendances have been a little disappointing. Nobody likes seeing their team losing at home, but if you're beaten but witness a good nights racing in the process, then fans go home relatively happy to an extent. A defeat coupled with awful racing is a disaster.

Then he's clearly not telling the truth. He himself, said only last week at an away track that the track conditions were causing him problems with the wrist. What on earth happened with the winter operation that was supposed to cure the problem? He felt the wrist last year again by his own admission, but it wasn't a major problem. He went from reserve, to scoring well in the difficult number 2 berth and was tipped by many to challenge for the number 1 race jacket this year. He had an operation in the winter to try and cure the wrist problem, and seems to be in far worse shape for it! Anyone watching him in the pits during the meeting can clearly see the lad is suffering with the wrist and something needs to be done ASAP.

Colin Mills give it a bloody rest will you. The only input you EVER have on Ipswich threads, is negative and to take sly pot shots at the Ipswich management. Do one!

Well done panthers great result for them. What an awful meeting was there a single pass?

Enough is enough with Heeps he's way off the pace. I've packs between heats? This wrist HAS to be sorted he's clearly struggling badly with it.

Anyone know if vouchers are needed for the kids? Mike Bacon has been tweeting reminding people that the kids vouchers are in the Ipswich Star. The official website however makes no mention of vouchers being needed, simply saying kids go free with a paying adult.

Get stuffed.

Just tried to work out which meetings Worrall and Ellis will be missing and as it stands, Worrall could only potentially be missing one more fixture IF Somerset defeat Workington in the KOC. We could do with Worky winning that tie as both Worrall and Ellis would be missing for the away tie at Somerset, but both would be available for an away tie at Workington. We'll also be needing a guest for Ellis on another 5 occasions, May 5th, June 20th, July 10th, August 7th and August 30th.

I'm tempted to do the same although I'll probably still go. Certainly has put a dampener on the meeting from an Ipswich perspective.

1st leg of the double header at Foxhall and again, guests aplenty! It remains to be seen how good a replacement Bach will be for Worrall, but the one that really concerns me is Mills for Ellis judging by the contrasting ways they've started the season. Any team news on the Peterborough front?

Gino Manzares has been a pleasant surprise early on.

Good start to the season from Gino, better than I was expecting to be honest. Got to agree the crowd looked a bit concerning, especially when reading various other threads where supporters are boasting of very good early attendances.

He won't get a bad one at all. Yes he was the cause of the crash that ended Loram's career no doubt about that, but everyone in the stadium that night could clearly see it was an accident and he didn't mean it. He picked up some unexpected drive on the back straight and lost control, pure accident.

Ricky Wells guests for Ritchie Worrall.

I wouldn't call paid 7 and paid 8 in his first year of PL racing a "struggle" to be honest but there you go. He's already a better rider than last year as well and is improving all the time.

Just looked at next weeks fixtures, and we're going to need a guest for Worrall on Thursday as Belle Vue are also riding, and a guest for Ellis next Friday as he'll be riding for Lakeside. Then Bach and Mills as guests the following week on Good Friday. This is going to be a pain this year..

TBF Manzares was never likely to be a good replacement for Garrity. Only fair to judge Rye when both Garrity and Bunyan are back in the side. Taking nothing away from Plymouth though that's still a cracking result for them and they are currently performing better than many expected. Will be an interesting couple of meetings with them next week.

Nice work detective Lovey!

There definitely doesn't seem as much material as last year. Perhaps my eyes are starting to play tricks with me. I'm no expert on track preparation, and certainly don't want to annoy Mr Ellis who is very well respected and I know he reads this forum. It's just my observation that to me the track looks slicker with less material than years gone by.

There just doesn't seem to be any grip out wide at the moment, the track is looking pretty slick and doesn't seem as much material out there as we've seen in previous seasons? As you rightly say, anyone trying that wide outside line are going nowhere fast.

If the pain has gone as you say, then that at least is good news and we can stop using that as an excuse. I thought he showed signs of improvement last week, but went backwards tonight which is disappointing. He looks nothing like the Cameron Heeps we all know at the moment, but it's very early days so hopefully over the coming weeks he can ride himself back in to form. On the plus side the rest have started very well. Gino looks super quick once he gets going and he even made a couple of decent starts. He has admitted his gating isn't great and that's something he's going to work on this year so he's only going to get better which is exciting. Looks a very handy asset. Risager is looking very sharp too. Early days obviously but if we can get Cam going, I think we could have a good year. Looking forward to see how we fare away from home.
