Wasn’t a million miles away with predicted scores Last season we had Doyle Emil Danny and to a lesser extent Ellis and Dan T who all were ok at Belle Vue Replacing them with Lawson and Nicholls means we are always likely to get pumped up there The only saving grace is that they can’t ride ours that well but now they have Doyle if expect them to win at Foxhall if Kurtz can get 10 or so

55-35…. Brady shouldn’t be beaten 18 points Cook and Blodorn 9 each Kildemand 7 Tate 8 Cairns 4 For us Tom 7 King 6 Lawson 5 Nicholls 2 Musielek 9 PHB 2 Edwards 4 Lets see if im close or hopefully a million miles away lol

Poole have definitely got a better guest for Lawson than Berwick have for Kildemand Can see Poole winning this by 20 Etheridge and Jenkins got 1 between them last time at Poole and Palovaara got 8 from 6 Should be a walk in the park

Fully expected this result Belle Vue have built their team to win well at home like any team would They have riders like Blodorn Tate and Cook and to a lesser extent Kildemand who don’t go well away If those 4 can up their game away from home Belle Vue should win the league However over 2 legs I would fancy Sheffield more as they have riders in the Holder brothers and Pickering who go well at Belle Vue and can keep the away leg to 10 or so

Northampton don’t have a number one bit like us at Ipswich so the team is built strength in depth

Leicester often get beat fairly heavily at Belle Vue and then win easily at home

Belle Vue should hit 60 comfortably tonight … got 57 in the cup when missing home track experts Kurtz and Blodorn

Oh I agree her definitely does …. One ex witch was very vocal in telling people how much help both Doyle and Emil were in the pits regarding set ups and overall morale ….. the same ex witch said a certain side he rode for the top boys offered no help and kept themselves to themselves and the team morale was low …. It wasn’t Belle Vue but I will let you work it out …. im sure Doyle will help Tate and cairns no end

We understand why it just makes a mockery of it all and the championship is boring because of it No issues with Doyle going Belle Vue … obviously you haven’t read the Belle Vue thread … bit thick commenting before finding facts

It’s not rocket science the Poole track is awful …. I’m an Ipswich fan and ours is no better…. Just the simple fact is Poole fans can’t accept it They always build a title side and they are happy being a big fish in a small pond and the crowd don’t care about the racing it’s only about winning Poole should be in the top league but they don’t want to be while they can just scoop up all the talent in the lower league … you would think the fans would want more after glory years they had

Do you think Doyle will have a better away average than Bewley would have done? I’m not sure

I know ….. all those years at Ipswich when he really only wanted to ride for Belle Vue He may get close to that average as he currently has no big injuries to ride his way back from like he did the last 2 seasons and now he is 40 I’m sure he will be just as good as he was in 2022 before he had those big crashes and age definitely isn’t a factor At least now you finally have a heat leader who will know his way around Foxhall and if you are up against a full witches 1-7 (which for once you was last season) then you may be able to finally win over 2 legs

I get what you are saying and Ipswich is a gaters track and not a great track I agree … let’s be fair Kurtz is a great gater probably the worlds best … he didn’t make one start that night and showed absolutely no desire to try and mix it from third or fourth …. Not that our track lends itself to good racing I thought it was a poor effort … like you say maybe an off night but I honestly think he didn’t try that hard… i understand why I’m not that foolish but there are other riders (your own Bewley being one of them) who would have still tried maybe to no avail As I said id like to see Kurtz win the title

All depends on how riders like Blodorn Cook and Tate do away from home As much as I’m happy to see Doyle over here it definitely makes Belle Vue weaker than it did with Bewley so I don’t see why all of a sudden they are favourites Sheffield or Leicester for me

I’m absolutely delighted Doyle is back in British speedway we need the big names ….. and let’s be fair it could have been much worse…. He could have gone to Sheffield which would be unforgivable lol Ipswich fans who are angry are just fools who have no idea about the sport …. All the uncertainty over the winter meant Doyle did what’s right for him ….. am I angry …. No… would I have liked him at Ipswich …. Absolutely
