  1. Mentioned before I know, but am I correct in thinking the the current freeholders are still Ipswich Speedway Ltd 1951? If it is what people are speculating how would development issues sit with East Suffolk Council? Just asking.
  2. Just for clarity, is that the same Danny King that supporters have been slating for years and said we should have got rid of because we'll never win anything?
  3. Perhaps they've brokered us a 42 points limit next year while everyone else can suffer on 37
  4. I agree, even though we won I thought it was the best race of the night, excellent team riding from both of them.
  5. I agree, but is it nervousness as the crowds are lower than last year with a weaker side. I think the expectation of fans is possibly expecting the worst and hoping for the best. 7 wins out of 9 isn't to be sniffed at but with only Belle Vue and Sheffield away to boot have we really been tested yet? I think we are solid but quite honestly I don't know the answer.
  6. Apart from when they bashed us in the KO cup at Foxhall 53 -37. Lance King with a 15 maximum. Paulo Salvetelli with 4 doughnuts that night! Ah those were the days!
  7. That's nothing Iain, I believe in 1988 we faced Kings Lynn home and away 14 times! Mind you, i believe there was 10 teams in the British League that year.
  8. Careless words and all that! Isn't that what they used to say?
  9. I know it's the wrong thread, but I'm currently at the NORA meeting Mildenhall v Norwich. 15 quid to get in and 12 heats completed in just over 1 hour. Around 400 here I reckon and not bad. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but it's not bad and has to be looked at as a way forward.
  10. I believe it was spoken about a few years ago. Obviously Spedeworth run the stadium but I believe the owners are still the original Ipswich Speedway from 1951. The stands I think came from the London Olympics. I believe the capacity is around 12000, and I'm pretty sure it will be packed in a few weeks for the Hot Rod final. As for improvements, it's a lot better than a few years ago but as with everything it's a numbers game.
  11. I think Mayfield have saved us and the league. For which we should all be grateful. Unfortunately, the speedway authorities are just delaying the inevitable collapse of speedway in the UK. In my opinion ( not universally popular I guess) the quicker we get a reset the better. Back to one league and get the youngsters on board and make the bloody sport viable again!
  12. Do you have an emergency supply of those Mondays and Thursdays you mentioned 😆
  13. Of course years ago every track had its sprinkling of individuals, test matches, 4TT etc. However, hardly anyone runs them now so we end up with massive gaps in the calendar.
