Ben Barker in heat 1 win shocker! Well actually its the 4th time away he's done it, still awaiting the home one!

Witches to sneek a heat win!

Don't forget that Matej Zager is riding for the Czech Rep......

Congrats to the Diamonds who deserved the win. Solid team performance and outgated the Witches all night. Home team seemed rusty after a week off. Think it was the first time this year that both Ellis and Heeps had off nights and with Risager and Lanham struggling too it was always going to be hard. Track was tricky early on but once it settled down as is often the case the Witches don;t seem to make the changes to adapt. Richie Worrall gated with Barker in heat 15, pushed him wide enough to allow Robson and Tungate through. Tungate then for some reason went wide himself nearly collecting Barker and it was game over for the Witches. Tully has to be pleased with his comeback, should have got the win in heat 1, spinning round whilst leading on 2nd bend on last lap. Also don't know what the ref was watching but no way did Risager win heat 14, about a wheel behind Kerr, Barker did just get Robson on line though in 13. Ps. Another free week at Foxhall next week as it seems Edinburgh can't/ won't ride as they are on Sky on tuesday so would be too much for them! (thats what i heard in the pits anyways) Oh yeah... Ritchie Hawkins has agreed to continue for the rest of the season

Simple solution to this "rolling lark"...... Let them do what they like, as long as the rider does not touch the tapes. Bit like the "olden" days but without the jostling back and forth into the tapes. Anyways Ipswich to win but only just, last year we lost by 6 in the league cup. But won the league meeting by 4. Henry did well, Robson had 2 off nights(didn't win a heat) and the Worrall's were out injured. For the Witches will Lanham finally have his engine sorted

Can see R Worrall being another away rider going through the card on thursday.

But how many regulars at speedway don't bother with Cardiff as too much of a hassle/too much money? I've been about 4 times over the years but after you have added up everything it costs a fair bit. Not just the tickets but hotels and also fuel costs. Ipswich supporters club coach is £43 for the day trip, so best part of £100 for just a day. Prefer to goto Poland, its quicker and normally cheaper! Of the 8 of us that stand together at Foxhall, none of us are going this year and been the same for a few years.

Still no change to the weather, about 15c and overcast,forecast is the same.

I'm Ipswich town centre, has been no rain all day, looks a bit overcast and a bit chilly. Normal thursday weather in Ipswich!

Go on the jackal I dare ya!? :-)

Instead of the 0844 number, there is a landline number 0161 3851420 or 0161 3851138, Which is already here.....

where's that lineup from as bspa site still includes Tungate......

Why wouldn't it be full price? GB ave = 52.03 Australia = 54.32 So a lot stronger than a 'normal' PL match

Plenty of time for the line ups to change though!

can't think it's in riding order but GB Bridger, Auty, Barker, Ellis, R Worrall, Lanham, Lawson Australia Davies, North, Woodward, Tungate, Summers, Doyle, Grajczonek So it's Barker vs North part 2! Don't know what is more surprising that there is no Heeps or that Lawson is riding! At least James Wright is not picked!

thanks for that, yeah normally its fine but trying to play staright from http://kanalsport.dk/ keeps jerking on playback and right click doesn't give an option. oh well

simple question, how do i get the stream to play in vlc player? keep getting buffering and jerky playback through the site. Cheers

Bet he wouldn't have won heat 1 though!

Wasn't expecting you to be going away from the stadium at that time! Still noticed it was you though, nice wheels Easy win for the Witches against a lacklustre Plymouth side. Bit like a Witches performance! Track was excellent, ok a few riders struggled early on but was all about throttle control and attacking the track. Reminded me of the old Foxhall, take it easy going into the corner and when the fence lurks, wind on the throttle as there was plenty of grip to hold the rider up. Well demostrated by Cook, Risager and Heeps, Tungate stayed on the kerb all night which also worked well. 3 maximums says it all. A track that Barker would have loved. Cook - Easy nights work for the Witches guest, won heat 1 which is only the 2nd time a Witches number 1 has done all year (Doyle is the other) Great ride in 13 to beat Wells, lined him up and blasted round the outside. Hawkins - Gating well but stayed mid track rather than outside on inside, Tungate - Much better week, team rode well with Risager in 4 heats, great understanding. Risager - only blot is he was beaten by Tungate in heat 3 so didn't get full max. Didn't ride around the kerb once. Lanham - Steady job Ellis - does well off the inside gates, normal heat 2, but maybe he should be in heat 8? Heeps - Tried to get past Kurtz in heat 8 but couldn't quite pull off a couple of attempts, to get a max. Wells - looked uninterested early on but then got setup and making some good starts.Best away rider on show Bates - Didn't complete a race, Schramm - Looked like he never ridden Foxhall before, had good battle with Gathercole... Gathercole - Steady night but had to battle past Schramm when on TR ride. I take it the Plymouth are not paying for 3-3 bonus points! Lemon - Overtook Hawkins for a 2nd place but well off pace. Anderson - Gated well but struggled Kurtz - Always has one good gate and win at Foxhall which was heat 8. Strange that he didn't have more than his 4 rides! IMO thats how a meeting should be run, wasn't rushed through too much, just efficient

just heard its a goer. better leave my house then.

Still at home, looking towards the west(down A12 towards Colchester) it looks lovely, and thats where the weather is coming from....

Just looked at forecast, rain until 7.30 then clear until 11..... Been hailing at stadium but sure there will be a big effort to get tonight on

sunny here..................... but i'm waiting until last minute too!

raining again!

Been raining since 3pm, which is the norm as it always rains on the school run!
