What happened to the 5 year plan when stoke went down a level?

Amazing result. Looking at the teams on paper stoke should have won comfortably i read on Facebook during the day that jacks grandfather is terminally ill and the whole family were to be at his bedside.

Sam had a tour of the pits last night and collected autographs from the witches riders and a few Glasgow ones too. Many thanks to kevin long for making it possible. One very happy lad.

I saw the track and witnessed the actions of the riders. My opinion is no more or less valid than yours but I’m reporting what I saw first hand

Were you at foxhall last night ?

Chris gay asked both captains their opinions. If one side were prepared to ride he was going to get the meeting started however after initially being prepared to ride the Ipswich team seemed to be swayed to change their minds by their captain. I agree that rider safety is paramount but I was present last night unlike a few of the posters defending the riders. Danny king said he would have given it a go as did Richard Lawson. They should have at least tried. To not even try is inexcusable. Nobody would be complaining if they had a go and then said no. At this rate the riders won’t have a sport left in s couple of years.

I too thought it was sawdust but it was limestone dust which does a similar job. The riders should be ashamed of themselves at not trying the track after all the efforts.

They don’t want to ride. Nearly 8 and they haven’t changed while the Ipswich riders are ready to go.

He was poor at mildenhall yesterday then won his last two heats. Really should be nigh on unbeatable at that level.

Give the riders a decent track and they will perform. Seeing the puddles before the meeting you could tell there are many low spots in the track. To be fair the track is much improved from the last two years but still work to do imho

Agreed

He was brilliant at foxhall too when there was plenty of dirt. Whilst I don’t agree with Ben’s actions he witnessed pedersens spear of Jeremy as he was right behind him at the time of the accident.

Ronni rode with his weight further back so his front wheel was hardly touching the track down the straights. But soon as you hit a rut or unexpected grip you take off and become a passenger. I was there that night and I understand why Ben took revenge. It was a highly competitive meeting with frank ebdon favouring the panthers and it all ending up in court with the judge ruling in Ipswich’s favour and overturning the result

Connor Mountain was dropped due to the numbers for three changes. He has a brilliant attitude. Good equipment and always gave his all but he really struggled to get to grips with foxhall and rode much better away from home.

That’s why I enjoy neutral meetings where you can enjoy the racing for what it is without the pressure of wanting your team to win. Very difficult to judge a meeting impartially when your team are riding.

Stefan was practicing during the interval at mildenhall yesterday. Looked good to go.

Will ostergaard try and knock off covatti ???

Scunthorpe kings Lynn wolves and Poole are exempt but the others have to do as they are told.

I don’t think so in the National League. It’s very unprofessional though. When clubs decide it’s cheaper not to complete their fixtures as they would loose more money than to run it

Scott for me every time. If only for his team riding skills plus when he is behind he is very capable of passing.

IMO he is doing his job and more. It’s another member of the top 5 who is letting himself and the team down.

Heeps needs to go. Overweight and underperforming.

How heeps has lasted this long is beyond me.

He has been overweight and poor all season at Ipswich and has been very lucky to retain his position. Can’t believe wolves have persevered this long. Surely they will make a change.

I think starke is very much like Kyle Newman. On paper they always look like bargain averages but they never increase them. Thats not detracting from the fact both riders give 100% effort 100% of the time and are both entertaining
