SPEEDY69

Ipswich did a good swerve there, he's not done as well as he'd have hoped.

Thank you. Not a Facebook user so will have to rely on here or the Star.

Is there any action on the isle of wight this year? Their website lists no fixtures https://www.speedwayportal.com/warriors

Irrelevant for speedway. However they can be uncomfortable - with speedway it's really important you can move your body about easily, this was one of the attractions with modern suits over leather because protection wise I don't think they're as good. Adults make choices with risk, that's life.

They are supposed to stop your head and helmet going back/forward too much, giving collarbone and neck injuries, I think.

Too many serious injuries in Poland

Tail wags the dog these days.

Completely agree with you here - the jeopardy of the result keeps my interest.

Is your keyboard faulty old bob 😆 Cooper Rushden, Bewdley

All sounds positive. I admit though I'd never heard of "reinforced grass" before - that will be time consuming, inserting the steel wire into each blade (I assume that's what it is 🙂)

Really made up for the Brummies and their long suffering fans, brilliant stuff. Followed it on updates, seemed a lot of action.

Surely that's because Aces v Brummies is a league fixture. I don't have TNT so wouldn't be watching that anyway, whichever meeting they showed.

Moan moan moan. I was rooting for Kurtz in the semi final, shame. Lambert was truly awful.

51-39

OK thanks, don't use that.

I don't know, where have you seen/heard this?

I've ridden the track with a 'blue grove' back in the late 90s so it's not new. However, riders do ride differently now and the tyres are also different. Peterborough and other tracks had trouble with that I remember. But, whatever, the track was not responsible for Ipswich losing.

That's right and it did not affect the ability to race on it, inside or out.

So what? Leicester still got around there the fastest, both inside and out. The days of deep tracks are over, riders no longer like it and the tuners/designers have ensured the bikes can no longer cope with it.

Three in heat three alone, get over it, Leicester were better, can't blame the track for that.

Track wasn't like that at all. Ellis went around two on the outside on one bend, there were lines inside and out but the Leicester riders found the quick way around and seemed more determined, fighting for their positions/passes and Ipswich riders when behind either didn't want/have the capability or speed to pass. Again poor team riding from Brennan and Hume in Ht 14, no way Howarth should have passed them both.

I saw no reason to criticise the track last night. There was plenty of passing and close racing but the Ipswich team by and large weren't doing it, that's where Doyle sits ahead. Leicester were just better. Those surprised by Becker - did you not see him last season, sure he got a hatful then and looked as fast as I'd seen any rider last year.

Live in the moment & enjoy the time now, there's always a next year, ask Del Boy!

That will obviously depend upon the extent of the dislocation and how much the other muscle/tissue is damaged. My total hip replacement was about 8 weeks, 10 weeks before I could go back to normal with sport etc. so it will be much quicker than that, as you say.

Yes it is still a 'working class', same as football always has been. Have you tried eating out these days, £20 for a burger and chips - what about live gigs/theatre, approx. £90 a ticket.
