So we nearly won the fours, and now nearly won the play off qualifiers, can we nearly win the play offs and cup too?

Oh come on surely we should have won that match, they had their best rider missing and a national league guest. With a 6 point lead twice it looks like we throw it away. With morten at 5 on away tracks its not going to work. Well done though to Somerset, they obviously wanted it more than we did as they kept overtaking us by the look on updates. Looks like Adam, cam and Ritchie all done well though.

Although not very good for the watching fans, it certainly throws this meeting up in the air. I really hope all the Ipswich rider's race their hearts out. Even if we don't win the play offs its still a great achievement finishing top of the league.

Surely the teams up to date Web sites have all the up to date information?

I've already basically said the same thing about the money and the team manager, but I was slated for it.

There already was a 2014 thread started, but most said it was a waste of time cos they don't understand the word fun.

Where the hell are the sour grapes? Can you read properly? I said he was trying to earn as much money as he can, and who can blame him. Where are the sour grapes in that? I thought he was brilliant on Thursday, no sour grapes from me. You are clearly reading something that I didn't write, maybe your agenda? Who knows, only you

This is the way I see it. Cook only had one thing on his mind Thursday, that was himsel. Not once in the whole meeting did he look behind for anyone else. I am in no way knocking cook for doing that, because he is probably only trying to earn as much money as he can while he can, as you are possibly only one crash away from never being able to race again. Now, what should have happened is the Edinburgh team manager saying to cook, wherever you finish we will pay you for the win if you and team mate get us the point.

I will be going anyway, but the problem with speedway fans is they are always looking for reasons not to do something instead of reasons to do something. I may save money on hair cuts but shaving gel and razors ain't cheap. Would be a lot better off if I had a full head of flowing locks.

Must just be a speedway thing then. Or maybe just me, cos when other tracks have put on a better price I have gone to those meetings. Sheffield and Somerset being examples, and I wouldn't have gone otherwise. It may have only been a few quid, but since they made the effort so did I. Well I was going to go to the away leg, but you have put me off now with your can't be bothered to try anything attitude.

Cheaper admission for away fans to add to atmosphere would be a good start. And why not? Are you in charge of the budget? Do you not think more would travel then? And people wonder why crowds are not that great. I'm only talking cheaper admission for away fans. The more away fans the better cos the atmosphere at Ipswich is pretty poor without them. And pretty poor is being polite.

No mention of incentives to get the fans through the gates, oh well never mind, nothing like a bit of forward thinking.

No complaints from me, cook was in a class of his own tonight. Looked like Barker may have given him a race in heat 13 until morten got in this way stopping his run off the bend. We seemed to make hard work of that again tonight considering they only had a 2 and half man team.

Would probably be best to just ignore him, not applaud or boo. We don't want to wind him up into a maximum.

If Edinburgh get a reserve that can score a few points I think they can get a point out of this. If Edinburgh get a reserve that can score a few points I think they can get a point out of this.

Reserves can win you meetings and tonight Edinburgh reserves totally outclassed and outscored ours by a long way. From the scores it looked like a solid team effort from Edinburgh. Well done to them. Glad Barker is back, looks straight up to speed already.

We hope he scores a max too. Let's be honest, do you really think differentl Ben cares about what reception he will get? Will be the same as when Craig next races at our place, they will be even more determined to race harder and score well.

Is he really racing tomorrow?

So if he can get 3 or 4 points that will do just fine, since apparently Ritchie doest score there.

What's Joe's record like there?

Not sure how this one will go really, but looking at the teams and what I saw last night, I think we may just miss out on a point. Home win by 12

Why are you questioning me? I've not said he should have have up. I said he was a fair way last. But to answer your question, no I don't give up, but may back my pace off a bit to save my self and equipment sometimes.

I'm not the one saying he should have given up. He was right in carrying on going round just in case of breakdown or a rider coming to grief. The problem with is, he has such a terrible awkward style, he very rarely looks in control of where he is going and so it proved. Oh and to the other chap, I did a bit of speedway when younger, also the Isle of Mann tt twice and currently race karts in a British championship, so yeah I've got some idea about participating in sport

He was in last place by a fair way, and wasn't going to catch anyone in front of him.

Would have been investing to see what would have happened if Allen hadn't have got injured in the first race. Was Lykke our only choice of guest? Never seen him do anything at Ipswich and so it proved again. And we have him tomorrow aswell. We made very hard work of that really. Some great support from the tigers fans, well done to them.
