I actually said as soon as Sheffield beat us at Foxhall they will finish top and that the play offs have been picked wrongly once again.

Anyone saying Ipswich hate Sheffield need to pay close attention to this meeting! Ipswich being poor so you have a solid night and finish top of the league thus making Sheffield a very viable business to buy 😁

I’ll wait to hear how Sheffield should have finished top so this play off is a farce.

Jack Holder has already agreed his signature to Stal if they stay up.

Tungate 2026 will ride for Częstochowa

I’ve mentioned at the start of the year that many tuners have refused to help Emil this season in England for some reason, unbeknown to me. It was mentioned in Polish media back in April and he has had a poor season all year in England but good in Poland so it would kind of be in line with the theory. He has had a really up/down season compared to the last two.

I don’t know why you would think Ipswich fans would want you to go under, just because people have strong feelings on matches etc it’s all part of being a fan of a sport. The sport is what holds this community together so anyone would be stupid to want any club to go under whether you love the other club or it’s your rival. Personally, I hope you find a buyer ASAP so you can have sufficient time to plan for next year. Everybody wants strong teams to fight against. Good luck!

My bigger concern is that end of this season his work visa runs out. You can renew it obviously but it’s another thing that makes me question if he will return or not.

I’ve heard Emil is ill. He is sick of Sheffield 😉

Thought you were in hibernation 😂😂😂?

Good line up as well by the looks of group A! Hope the weather holds out and we can show them all the premiership trophy as well 😉

The Polish team manager has a grudge against Magic, Przyjemski will not take part and was added to show that Magic hasn’t got any spot in the Polish National team even over a junior. Przyjemski is still not fully fit and pulled out of Lublin with an issue with his leg, he will take part in the second leg but again will need a lot longer to fully recovery. Pawlicki is still not 100% but is better than any other Polish rider current apart from the stand outs that are Zmarzlik Dudek and Kubera. I could have said probably but reality is unless any major injuries the other two are not in the team plans for the Final. The only difference in the team I wrote is than Dudek will likely take the place of Kubera for the switch.

Well we will come back to this comment on the Saturday and see if I’m right 😉

Polish line up: Zmarzlik Kubera Dudek.

My advice would be for the Thomsen top! If they stay up, he is confirmed for 2026 line up!

😂you can’t be insulting Ukrainian people like that! Roman kasPUTIN? 😂 it’s Kapustin

Wouldn’t recommend a Lebedevs Gorzow top! He is riding for Falubaz next year so it’ll be out of date in a few months!

Yeah but my point was he won the title with Leszno 😂 I think anyone could see he wasn’t going to be in their Ekstraliga team as they wouldn’t survive. Ben cook will do well though I’m sure.

I think the issue with Flint was soon as he got moved into the main body of the team, you would have probably been in the final if he wasn’t in the main body. It looked more mental than physical and maybe the jump done him in mentality as in overthinking things. Same can be said for Thompson who also now is in our main body and struggled at first. The play offs are a lottery and unfortunately you had the 3 heats that lost you the semis in heat 13/14/15 last week. Ipswich have got the more favourable tie with Leicester as we can ride their track better than yours. As I’ve stated before if we don’t win this year we never will!

Majority of stuff that Picko said in that interview I agree with, I even agreed to be fair that if they got to the final they would probably have won it and beaten us. I’m not saying all what he said was crap and that he shouldn’t show passion, we don’t see enough passion in the sport so it’s nice to see. My only problem is the little digs of last week’s meeting losing it for them when it clearly wasn’t. That’s why I wrote the other factors that came into play. Picko got promoted to Ekstraliga with Leszno so would be on cloud nine and didn’t haven’t to he bothered about this but clearly this still meant something to him so I’m happy to his passion.

Stead and Picko still commenting about last week as if it has lost them the meeting is slightly on the side of sore losers. -Holder touched the tapes and got excluded - Sheffield fault -Flint laying the bike down and getting and Fricke excluded - Sheffield fault and they gained from it -Heat 13 / 15 Sheffield just outdone by better riders. - Sheffield fault -Heat 14 moaning about 5-0 and unjust but fail to mention Nick Morris crashed on his own (so highly chance they would have been 5-1 down anyway) - Sheffield fault. -Luke Becker’s chain broke on a 5-1 which would have finished the meeting earlier than best 15. If Sheffield would have won, I don’t believe Leicester would have be so sour even though they are just as unjustly done. Sometimes just admit your riders weren’t as good as your opponents and move on. I can see the sourness and bitterness turning into an absolute tear up and potential for fireworks (not the good kind) on Thursday. I also expect someone to come out of that meeting injured. Flint scoring 0 probably had something to do with them losing but that hasn’t been mentioned.

Sheffield will no doubt have a comment to make after Thursday, I’m sure they will beat us in the remaining league matches thus making the play offs another shambles. They then should have faced Belle Vue and Ipswich vs Leicester would have been tonight. The comments about “this is play off speedway” but nobody mentions two years in the row it’s been chosen and not finished on track?

Just like Flint getting Fricke excluded. Karma always returns the favour!

Good meeting, very tight and as an Ipswich fan I was hoping for Leicester but Sheffield done bloody well to get it to last heat decider! Glad Becker’s chain broke… stops Sheffield moaning that heat 14 in the first leg lost them the semi final 😂 I think Leicester will have a lot more Ipswich fans happy to attend the Monday meeting than if it was Sheffield. Leicester doesn’t seem like if you beat them you’ll get abused and attacked at least. My concern is if Sheffield track injuries our Witches riders at all for a pointless meeting on Thursday.
