  1. "Maybe nothing wrong" with where you were sitting but we couldn't see nothing where we were, so there is obviously a lottery as to where you get to sit ...and we were locked into the area where we sat, not let into any other areas including pits. Been to loads of World Cups at Lynn and never had an issue parking, only at BV, which we considered very badly organised and a free for all, in fact there was busts ups coming out when people pushed into queues for the busses and one driver refused to move until they got off..it was carnage Will only watch live speedway, never on the telly ...watch 2 or 3 live matches a week and never have a problem viewing i.e Lynn, ipswich, Mildenhall, Peterborough, Rye House...I could go on, maybe you just have rose tinted glasses for BV, or maybe you were lucky ...maybe we were unlucky but its Lynn for me every time.
  2. Personally v. glad its at Lynn again this Year, we went to B.V before to watch, were miles away from the action up in the stands, couldn't hardly see a thing and don't even get me started on the parking situation in Manchester ...it was a joke
  3. I would love to see him getting another chance, anyone who saw him ride at Mildenhall can't argue he's an entertaining rider and adds a bit of Californian sunshine ..never say die attitude
  4. We are having trouble getting our pre-paid tickets in the post from "See"...is anyone else ?
  5. Does anyone know whats happening with Robert's wrist...is he riding or not ?
  6. Looking forward to this...should be a cracker, love watching the American riders I think Danny Ayres has stepped in along with Ryan terry-Daley Ipswich's own Gino Manzares makes an appearance, always good fun !
  7. Quite right Jenga..."when its gone...its gone"...I personally feel happy that we have got speedway nearby Some of the stuff thats said on here, maybe they are "glass half empty kind of guys" or they have got some hidden agenda
  8. All the racings been pretty good for me, but that race was exceptional, but then maybe I understand what goes into preparing and getting a bike going let alone passing anyone !
  9. Its speedway, anything can happen, I still think its cheap compared with most live sports, especially when you factor in the real cost of racing. Everyone's saying put a great team together, they put a great team together and now everyones saying the opposition aint competitive enough...like a say, can't win
  10. Happen to think this might be closer than you all think...Masters, Doolan and Howe are all good riders and Morley & Bowtell could be a match for our reserves, whilst I think the match should be ours it might not be the whitewash you predict. Like someone said that race with Masters Vs Schlein was a cracker. The promoter's can't win, cancel the meet and they get slammed, put it on an you all moan, weather's too cold, weather's too hot, maybe you'd rather watch a load of men kick a ball around and pay a fortune for it ! If you've ever tried riding one of these machines maybe you'd marvel at the fact just staying on one at high speed is a miracle, what about all the guys ending in hospital each season trying to entertain us..........
  11. Must just mention Rory's ride to edge out Masters..awesome, truly professional, didn't touch him but just moved him out enough to make him go wide on the bend for the overtake, absolute class act
  12. Was it just me or was I the only one on here that saw the Riss Brothers rolling on neally every start for the first half of the meeting.....Its not called "good starting" its called second guessing the Reff ! Once the Reff held the tapes a bit longer they stopped doing it...its as simple as that. I was right on the start and every time Riss and Co. had almost turned a wheel before the others even moved...come on Reff please get a grip, it was so obvious to me and most of the crowd in our bit were pretty peed off with it ! Ironic.......... the only time all night we made a tapes error (Danny) we got penalised !
  13. ....looking forward to this one, should be a cracker....hope the Massif are in good voice ?
  14. Good to see Adam back riding...but I am just playing Devils Advocate, wasn't he too good for the National League 5 or so Years back riding for Dudley ? Its good to see talented riders but surely he's an established "Championship" level by now ?
  15. Can only speak for myself...but some of the meetings this Year have been excellent. This particular meeting was not the best, but don't forget its an afternoon start and when its hot and dry passing is difficult wherever you hold it, but that's the way the fans like it at Mildy, "Sunday afternoon speedway" ! We travel all the UK and still think Mildenhall is one of the best..........especially the fish & chips (def. the best tucker in any ground we've been to) Come on you guys get behind our sport
  16. Anyway....back to the match, recon Ipswich will get a point out of this visit
  17. Think it will be alot closer this time around....come on Ippo you can do it !
  18. Hey Jeremy Corbyn, do you think it will be "Fortress Boro" again ?
  19. "Why stop the race"...because the rider behind was impeded - how many times in speedway do we say that wasn't fair, why not start it again and run it properly, if a rider's at fault he should pay ! As for 50/50 ...the rules are quite clear, if you impair another rider do to your own fault you have to take the consequences...its the same for everyone. Just take it on the chin and move on.
