I agree about the pirate supporters. Ipswich gave their all but fell short against a very good Swindon team. just to reach the final is a massive achievement and that alone is worth celebrating. swindon fully deserved to win and no doubt will take the title. im sure fans of lakeside stoke Coventry Buxton and cradley would love to still see their teams in action so for me I’m thankful we still have a team and one that’s done us proud.

Congratulations to Swindon. We were second best despite our very best efforts. I never expected us to win overall but I’m very proud of my team for their efforts this season. best bit was knocking out those arrogant pirates and their riders !!

Weather for Thursday at Ipswich seems ok so maybe we run Thursday and the return leg on Sunday.

Ahhh. Make em ride with three juniors !!! We might have a chance of winning then

Is blunsdon available anytime over the weekend. Running sat night or sun afternoon would gain many more away fans. I’d certainly go.

And got third place overall. Let’s hope his bad back has fully recovered and he doesn’t suffer a relapse stopping him riding at Poole for the restaging

Meeting postponed to Tuesday evening

Bet you lambert makes a rapid recovery to enable him to ride in a big open meeting in Germany

Thankfully the toe/knee injury has cleared up to enable holder to ride at pardubice today. So doubt he will be back on Wednesday

Did Belle Vue dump him too ?

Bomber has averaged 5.6 at home this season but has been much better away. No doubt his best days are long gone but no doubting his efforts though but maybe the fitness and machinery need looking at.

Accordingly to the speedway star today in two separate pieces jack holder has suffered a twisted knee in his crash/ slip off at foxhall. Must be concussed as well because on tv he was complaining of a injured toe. Nuff said I think

Fair play to you. I have to say also that Middleditch josh g and Nicolai were gracious in defeat and a credit to your club. I

I would like to think any sports person in a professional sport would not cheat. The next question is did he throw a hissy fit or was he under team orders. Whichever one it is it’s a absolute disgrace.

It does to me. I want to know if he faked injury last night

Is jack holder due to ride in Poland or has his season finished over there ?

The track was massively widened in 2010 and both bends have been adjusted since. So it’s a tad unfair as they have tried. We are a bit limited as we don’t own the stadium and further banking cannot be added due to the stock car track. When it’s stock cars and the fence is removed the cars cannot have a big kerb as the use the speedway track as a run off area

Well done the witches. The effort and commitment was excellent. Great stuff i honestly expected to get the wooden spoon when the team was announced. I am so pleased I was so wrong. Apologies for doubting the riders regardless of what happens in the final you have done yourselves and the town proud Congratulations

I expect the track to chop up tonight. The rain will have collected in the holes and will make soft patches. Could work in Ipswich’s favour. However the pirates are very capable of winning at foxhall. Should be a great semi final. Good luck and safe riding to both teams.

If the track is wet I think it will suit the witches more than the pirates

I agree. Chris wasn’t prepared to gamble his own money going into the top league. So buster underwrote the promotion. The crowds have been very good and I imagine has made money unlike Peterborough which I imagine has drained busters funds

I guess as the hancocks own the catering and enjoy the profits they are loathe to getting outside caterers in for one night only. Pretty short sighted imo

I always enjoy the pairs at Somerset but I do agree the facilities need improving for big meetings. Whem I first went there was a hog roast and cider was dispensed by rucksacks by people going into the crowd but both those have disappeared. A couple of years ago I purchased a awful overpriced burger and the can of cider was warm. So I’ve never purchased anything in the stadium again. The queue for the clubhouse food always puts me off as I want to watch the racing. The lighting around the stadium needs improvement too especially as the ground is uneven. I thought the programme was excellent and good value too and the racing was outstanding which for me is the most important thing.

I saw on Facebook he is on holiday. When he left I don’t know but that could be the cause of his absence

Perhaps we can use Jake nicholls if we are against Poole next week. He would love that track
