Bash

Heeps was replaced by Barker before the league matches started. The league cup and pairs are not part of the league.

Couldn't Ipswich bring in BZ to replace Starke tonight as I'm sure his average when he rode for Birmingham isn't that high, then he could have 7 rides

How have Ipswich broken the rules this season? They replaced Heeps with Barker before the league had started. Then replaced Riss who was a long term injury with Tungate, and Barker who was suspended for the rest of the season with Summers. All within the rules.

Obviously Belle Vue were running scared that Ipswich would trounce them tonight and brought a ringer in!!!! Can only see an even bigger winning margin now as Lambert is in better form than Max.

I hope they switch Monday's meeting to Wolverhampton as us Witches fans suffered enough last night.

Not sure I would keep Doyle to be honest. He has been good this year, but like Baldyman I can't stand him. He takes too many points from the points limit and we would end up with a similar team to this year, plus he is taking almost another 1.5 points compared to this season. Yes, they made the play-offs but lacked the bite last night. I would go with a similar team to BV, strength in depth. Definitely no Batchelor as he bottles it and gives up too many times.

I know, I was responding to someone who suggested it should be a guest who rides in both legs if average fits etc

I hope they don't bend the rules like they did a few years ago and let Harris ride in both legs even though his average is too high to ride at Ipswich.

That would rule Harris out then as he can't replace Fricke at Ipswich, but he can at BV due to his average.

They could've changed tonights meeting to be against Ipswich instead of Belle Vue, so lets hope it gets rained off in the best interests of the sport!!!!

He definitely wasn't interested last night, free wheeling into every turn apart from the first lap of his first ride.

They weren't complaining when they won the superheat at home to Sheffield. When they brought in the superheat I always thought it would favour the home team. There have been 3 superheats now and this is the first time the away team has won it. Don't know why they changed it as the away team got 2 points for a draw compared to 1 for the home side.

It makes a mockery of the protected heat 8 as the other rising stars are not riding against BV rising star but against the German national champion who is at a higher level than most of the RS in the premiership. How is that helping them.

They should be made to get a rising star guest and move them to No. 7, so the higher of the two reserves moves up to No 2. Shouldn't be allowed RR for a rising star.

Commentary is a joke, can they only afford one mike

Why have King's Lynn been allowed to use Klindt, but we can't use Tungate. It's make the rules up as you go along. Are they trying to make it so it's all closer going into the last round and it won't be all over. Can't see the Witches getting anything out of this, by far the weakest pairing.

I would have Erik Riss back again as he will be on a low average and looked good before his injury. The riders were doing a great job of lowering their averages at BV the other night.

If you had that team at the start of the season you would be higher up the league but changes made too late to matter. Not embarrassing at all we had two riders making their debut and one with engine trouble all night. In the end you threw the match away which you should’ve won.

That means irritating not IRR

I with you on that one Baldy, three Aussie I defo can't stand (not Summers)

Must be the Norfolk air affecting you

I said Rowe would only get 3 rides and replaced in his last by one of the reserves. At least Ipswich won’t have much to pay out for a guest!

Maybe they are trying to even the teams out with the weakened team Ipswich have put out.

Danyon will score more points at reserve than Anders. Reckon Anders will only get 3 rides and replaced by Starkey or Danyon in his other. Can only see a win for KL in this one ( hope I'm wrong).

If it is Tungate I hope he comes in with the right attitude and doesn't disrupt the team spirit
