Steve Irving

I said he hasn’t signed “that I know of”. He may well have signed, but I don’t know that.. One or two seem extremely confident that he has, let’s wait and see. Certainly no “Egg on my face” if he has/does, I’ve not said conclusively either way.

Sorry Sidney he hasn’t signed for Ipswich, not that I know of anyway. I was just being satirical because good old Geoff has a habit of being totally wrong and completely wide of the mark on just about everything Speedway related.

Well that’s confirmed it! Chris Holder has signed for Ipswich. Good signing. Just need Geoff to say the Ipswich team is crap and will finish bottom, and the Ipswich fans can then confidently look forward to another title push.

Of course it isn’t! Nobody has suggested otherwise have they? Again, it’s a forum for discussion.

I could, especially riding for Ipswich. Holder has been a major beneficiary of Guy Nicholls’ sponsorship over the years, so I’d bet he’d give it more for “his” club (Ipswich) than he probably would for anyone else.

Can’t quite get my head around this it’s a bit bizarre. You had to shed how many points off your total? All logic says you do that by dropping one of your heatleaders on expensive averages. As has been said, I don’t see improvement in any of the three signed. Jensen has been knocking around for a few years now and only last season looked the real deal. Swindon need to hope that wasn’t just a purple patch otherwise they’ll be up sh!t creek.

Foxhall is a big stadia. An average looking crowd at Foxhall would look huge at most other venues.

Of course they’re excuses! The only “reason” Poole didn’t make the final, is because over the two legs they were beaten by the better side. It’s pretty simple.

Why so salty? You’re coming across as a grumpy old sod, and a terrible loser.

Sarcasm at its finest.

Suggesting no such thing. Damn predictive text on these smartphones. Don’t think I’ll ever get the hang of them.

In which you’re perfectly entitled.

What about the other 6 away meetings? The NSS was always going to be ONE that he would go well on. You must know as much anyone how bad Bellego is on Away circuits in general. I think some of you Swindon fans are blinded by the fact he was such a heavy scorer around your home track in the past. To use a term by strumpet, anyone with “half a brain” can see that Kennett is an upgrade on Bellego. Kennett will go better at the majority of tracks (including his new home one at Foxhall) than Bellego it’s as simple as that. Unfortunately for whoever picks him up, Swindon’s old track that he loved so much is no longer there. Still, he may go well at Belle Vue!

Think strumpet is a Witches supporter Gav.

I must have half a brain then as I thought it would be very close this evening. Garcia was always going to score next to nothing and Pieszczek was a miss as he’s pretty handy at Foxhall. After heat 10 it was anyone’s meeting and in the end, Panthers were only 2 points adrift of picking up a point.

I agree the first half of the meeting wasn’t great, but the track was clearly a factor early on. Second half of the meeting was pretty decent I thought. Couple of great races when Heeps missed the gate, and the Polish lad had a couple of great rides too. Looks a bit of a nutter mind! Not sure a couple of the Wolves lads have him on their Christmas card list.

You’re being incredibly insulting to Ipswich here. Were the panthers septet a “disgrace” in their previous three unbeaten home meetings, including victories over your fancied teams, Wolves and Poole? Astonishing to see the lack of credit to a fantastic away performance that’s bettered ANY of the four teams that’s previously visited the Showground this season. Just because you were one of a few on here who was banging the “worst Premiership team ever” and “cannon fodder” drum along with Steve O and Acef, which is now making you all look pretty daft regardless of what happens here on in, doesn’t mean you can’t show a little humility and admit you may have been wrong.

As opposed to all seven looking a complete shambles from the get go? Some people still live in the past and that’s part of the problem Speedway has these days. I suggest everyone takes a look at the link to the Look East programme posted on the Ipswich thread. Ipswich look like a professional outfit of a professional sport, exactly the way it SHOULD be, instead of people harking on about the good old days of the 70’s when riders had individual identity with race bibs and numbers made out of gaffer tape that was half falling off. As I said, people need to stop living in the past.

I’ve been reading your guff on here for the last weeks and months absolutely convinced you were an immature youngster so gave you the benefit of the doubt. Just browsed your profile and I’m shocked to see you’re a 54 year old grown man! FFS grow up!!

You mean discussing the merits of the average of two riders signed up to Peterborough’s 2019 team? Of course it’s the right thread!! Hardly going wildly off topic take a day off for Christ sake. If you want this thread to just be filled with fluffy wuffy comments from Panthers fans about how wonderful your team is then you’re being totally unrealistic. Every thread will now and again veer slightly off topic but discussing two Peterborough riders averages isn’t even going slightly off topic so I’ve no idea why you’re getting your panties in a twist People discussing the merits of Swindon and Belle Vue is a different matter but again this will happen on most threads now and again. It’s Christmas, have a mince pie and a glass of Mulled cider and chill!

Allen is a cracking signing. There’s clearly a lack of top end big hitters around these days and it’s clear to see the way some teams are shaping their teams. Both Poole and Peterborough look to have very strong reserves, now Ipswich have signed another. Allen will be a match for any of them.

Of course it’s the right thread man! People are commenting on the proposed averages of two riders just signed by Peterborough for 2019. Whether you think they’re way off to question those averages or not is irrelevant, but this is definitely the right thread for them to do so.

No.
