  1. Plus the changes were made very late in the day and rarely if any? Did all three of Cook, Bjerre and Thomson actually take to the track together at the same time. Thomson wasn't exactly a revelation either. At the end of the day we'll see and I could be wrong, but if I was a betting man I'd definitely have a punt that the line up will be tinkered with at some point before May.
  2. Really enjoyed my first of many visits to Foxhall this year. Have to say, for an early season fixture the track looked in superb condition. Very smooth and consistent so full marks to the track staff.
  3. Perhaps practice what you preach! You were the one who came on to a thread not involving the team you support, and fired the first barb, and then gotten the arse ache when someone throws one back!
  4. Peterborough won't make the play offs IMO and I'd be surprised if the current 1-7 is the same after the cut off point in May. The top 5 isn't strong enough. All very well and good saying you have a stronger reserve than most, but how often does a "strength in depth" side with a strong reserve but average looking top 5 win the pots? Reminds me of Poole with the turbo twins eating up the majority of their points and still going with a strong third healeader whilst apparently have far too long a tail. They'd always win at a canter. Even Edinburgh won 3 titles on the trot going with Cook, Masters and sedgmen and a supposedly "weak tail". Give me a team with top end strength over a strength in depth team every time
  5. Typical! I move away and suddenly things are looking up! Delighted to hear the positive vibes though and I'm looking forward to coming back.
  6. The racing is fabulous at Scunthorpe and the supporters are very fortunate to have a great track like that on their doorstep. I understand at the end of the day it's still a competition and you want to see your team win, but IMO I'd feel like I've won even if the team lost when the EWR serves up great racing which it does far more often than not.
  7. Don't even know where to start with this one, yours is even worse!!
  8. You're either blatantly a troll, or you're absolutely clueless when it comes to Speedway. Everyone will have an opinion, some will rate Ipswich as favourites, some will rate Sheffield or Glasgow as favourites. But to suggest that this Ipswich team will be bottom three then like I say you're either completely clueless, or trolling.
  9. Perhaps you should look for a different sport to follow Phillip? Speedway definitely isn't for you.
  10. Starke and BWD confirmed. Looks a very average team to me but I thought that about Somerset this year so who knows..
  11. Got to agree there looks very little wrong with the track shape which should in theory produce decent racing. A quick look on google earth proves this. Perhaps it's other factors such as the type of shale used? Also agree that the old track was too narrow. Far too narrow in fact. Was maybe okay back in the day but as has already been said, the machines have evolved over the years and the introduction of the air fence made an already narrow track even narrower.
  12. http://www.ipswichwitches.co/story/foxhall-track-work-begins In depth details of all the track work taking place.
  13. https://twitter.com/chrislouisiwsc/status/805707948655837184 😉
  14. I doubt that very much. Supporters of all clubs have had their say on all teams threads so you've not been reserved for special treatment so you can step down from that high horse you're riding 🙄
  15. Some of Holder's scores this season were abysmal, same as the season before. That's why he finished his second consecutive season as an inconsistent 7 pointer. There was no improvement this year at all so it remains to be seen whether he's actually good enough to be the consistent number 1 Peterborough will need.
  16. The full team was listed on there last night because I looked. You're right it's now blank for whatever reason.
  17. Another one. To be fair to Louis, he always seems to put together very good teams. One of these days they'll actually deliver! Maybe next season he'll get his rewards?
  18. Does the page update itself or do you have to refresh?
  19. Fair points and difficult to argue with really.
  20. You're never going to get a team that everyone will be happy with all seven riders, you wont get that anywhere, but I'm not sure what some are expecting with a 40.00 limit this year. If this rumoured team is confirmed and avoids major injuries, it will be in the mix for silverware without a shadow of doubt.
