Manifesto

That’s a good question, I assume a stopwatch is used. Chris Holder won in under 60s and Steve Worrall got a fast time in heat 1. Holder was flying the bike was really pulling him out of the bends once wheels were in line even Woffy was well behind him

The track was obviously on point tonight Jack was absolutely flying in heat 13 but didn’t think he’d be near the TR. Ricky Ashworth’s record finally broken. it was a strange meeting in a way, there was a huge gulf in class with Woffy, Chris and Jack (apart from his second ride) against the Brummies, Howarth was on pace with Worrall, Cook, Sedgmen and Brennan. The reserves were all fairly poor, Edwards had his moments but faded when he’d got himself in a scoring position. i suspect it will either be Lampart or Sedgy to go in place of Lindgren. Worrall and Cook are good riders. Pawlicki has more to offer and will probably do better riding at number 3/4

R/R for Pawlicki is basically Brum writing off this match. Brennan may put up a fight but unless Worrall and Cook gate well on night could be a 60+ score for Sheffield

Tungate and Etheridge would be great choices. I imagine Harris comes cheaper though. weather forecast looking okay ish for tomorrow

Guest choice for Birmingham could be interesting if they have a few riders to call upon. They need someone in at reserve who can bang a few wins in if they want to keep it close, as I don’t think anyone will get much from Woffy, Jack and Chris. 53-37 home win

God I miss Peterborough and Somerset

Be interesting to see how some riders perform knowing a bad one could mean the chop. Surely they already know who is going to be exiting the team

Next one in August is against Sheffield again. If the weather forecast is better the crowd will be 400-500 better off I imagine

The track was not the same as heat 4 at all

Firstly I think the tractor bloke did a cracking job first time round of sorting track out after 4 races of whoever’s at the back gets covered. I feel they could have pushed the meeting through abit faster than they did (not saying 15 heats would have rbeen raced though). When the rain come after heat 10 that was it, the track was done for. If the aces had been winning by 10 points it would have been called within 5 mins. Absolute joke tbf how long it dragged on, I left before any announcements were made it was so clearly unrideable. as for the meeting itself was obviously gate and go, Sheffield were so much better which won them the meeting. Wouldn’t judge any riders too harshly on today’s showing.

Huge pressure on Bewley and Lidsey. Think it will be still very close as BV reserves will score more than tigers

46-44 away win

Ipswich want to get any more guests in? Hypocrite warning

Much needed! He needs to find some form asap for the tigers, nobody’s expecting him and Edwards to win races but had too many last places which is putting too much pressure on Tai, Jack and Chris

How strange gate 3 is an absolute graveyard first half of a meeting the coin toss is very important. Howarth got points needed but still not overly impressed, Schlein put himself about great guest booking. Edwards looked well in heat 2 then nowhere.. Woffy C Holder did their jobs very well and saw it through. Need Pickering back asap

Congrats to Jack Holder and partner. leaves us abit bare bones I hope Woffys got a few monster energy’s in tool box to keep him going. prediction with current team line ups 42-48 away win

And last week against BV him and Holder team rode perfectly.. heat 15 and super heat, can’t always be done im afraid

Very likely. Could Sheffield tap up Craig Cook since he’s only on a 28 day contract?

I’d have him in for Howarth 100%

Well done to Ipswich 100% deserved the win on the night. All 7 riders putting points in the board. Sheffield promotion have a lot to think about, got a great top 3. Pickering riding well and the bigger scores will come. Kyle Howarth absolutely woeful and been perfectly honest he was crap majority of last season they stuck with him due to pure loyalty, I’d be looking at Craig Cook or Lewis Kerr to replace him when Oxford decide which one they’re having. As for the reserves, Dan Gilkes seems to have lost all confidence he’s easily bullied on track. I like Jason Edwards and think he will come good second half of season

Is steady back from his holidays?

48-42 away win think the tigers heat leaders will be too much for the stars

Not hot we’ll do well to score 30 I reckon at Foxhall

If this wasn’t on box they would get warm up laps in and crack on with it. Possible rain due after 9pm gulp! if it stays dry and 15 heats are raced my prediction is 50-40 home win. Be a good one between Holder and Doyle after the very harsh move in the semi final of the gp. Jack will be out for abit of revenge. if Ipswich reserves turn up it could be very close as Thursday Gilkes and Edwards were well of the pace. Want to see them attack the track more and get out the gates sharper. Kyle Howarth has been average if not poor so far he needs a score tonight

Yes it was pre booked originally there was no meeting planned for last nights date
