Give a good loud Aussie shout for Dooey and Pooey then please BFD

I'm assuming that as 2 of the top 5 riders are long term injuries, and probably Lasse is washing his hair next Friday night and can't change his plans , that leaves next in line Taylor Poole to step up to the tapes

Actually I don't think we did any bleating, seems like it's the Newport lot that are the most pee'ed off tbh.

SCB see LW's post!!!!!

Still no Cameron Heeps then

Well the test match has been cancelled, so I suppose Doyley was in possession of that fact before he agreed Sandie , not sure about Tyson, I know he was asked as he was a rider that CL tried to sign in the close season for the Witches

It needs to be staged somewhere where it's NOT going to be cancelled, with the EoES's record of cancellations this year alone, that is crazy However it would have made a good central venue for the fans to attend...shame availability is such an issue there

Ipswich speedway are running the Star of Anglia Thursday June 2nd, details and nearly complete lineup taken from Ipswichwitches.co: http://www.ipswichwitches.co/index.php/news-centre/177-star-of-anglia-is-reborn?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+IpswichSpeedway+%28Ipswich+Speedway%29&utm_content=FaceBook

Any updates for this meeting please? Found it thanks

many thanks.

Can anyone tell me the line up for the world under 21 meeting in Croatia please, or at least point me in the direction of finding it..... many thanks

Well I am confused, Dakota North is lining up in the British semi finals this week , and I then find this article in Lovespeedway24.co.uk saying he has an outside chance of riding for Aus in the test matches....I know it comes from the Peterboro press office but honestly to be both nationalities inside one month for goodness sake http://www.lovespeedway24.co.uk/teams/peterborough-panthers/more_fixture_changes_for_panthers_1_895986

WHAT????!!!, so what with Newcastle and their contamination, now this...Ipswich's Northern tour is in tatters it seems!!

Shouldn't be necessary though should it!!! One of the most successful teams tried NL last year - Poole - and didn't continue this year as it wasn't cost effective, well guys it's up to you the fans, if you want NL racing to survive, you have to go out and support it. Not an easy thing to do in the current climate I know, but these promoters are trying to kick start the British scene but financially it isn't balancing the books I'm sorry I haven't a clue as to the fan base at Newport, but as I said Poole, with their large fan base couldn't make it pay, mind it will be a real shame for this to happen if it does, through lack of support. Good luck Hornets

Thanks for the info, I always have to record the GP and watch it about an hour behind, so forwarned is forearmed this time, many thanks

Sounds like it was a really good meeting, well done Mildy!!!

Well we have new rule books at Ipswich Great news BTW

think you need to change your clock Impy!!!

Should be sorted very soon

Chris Louis talking on Radio Suffolk tonight about Mildenhall: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/p00dc5vw/Stephen_Foster_08_02_2011 go to 1.37

Wow that's wonderful news so pleased for all at Mildenhall, and I have to say very, very pleased with the link up with the Witches, at last a chance for some youngsters to get on. Fingers crossed in the court case too!!!

And Jarek has his say: taken from Lovespeedway.com: Hampel hits out at Polish authorities Thursday, February 3, 2011 3:36 PM FORMER Ipswich star and world No.2 Jaroslaw Hampel says Polish Ekstraliga clubs are making a big mistake in restricting teams to just one Grand Prix rider in 2012. FORMER Ipswich star and world No.2 Jaroslaw Hampel says Polish Ekstraliga clubs are making a big mistake in restricting teams to just one Grand Prix rider in 2012. There are plans to expand the top flight from eight to ten sides next term and it is reported that every club will have to track four Poles. Should the new rules come into force, champions Leszno would have to choose between Hampel and Janusz Kolodziej if both men retain their places in the World Championship for next year. With five SGP regulars guaranteed to miss out on Ekstraliga team berths, Hampel has hit out at the changes. He said: “It’s unfair to my club, which has a plan, a long-term vision of the team. This may be meaningless now.” Hampel added: “I do not know what this rule is intended to do. Is it to make savings at the club? It’s not the way to do it. These are the riders fans are passionate about. “I believe that last season’s league was pretty balanced and unpredictable. Even if the 2012 season will see ten teams in the Ekstraliga, it means that the five Speedway Grand Prix riders will not be able to compete in it.” speedwaygp.com

Mark is a great guy, and we do so miss him riding still, but no way a lot of us will be able to come and support him on a Wednesday night, down in Poole

It's looking more and more likely that you are going EL, which is a big blow to us Witches fans who were really looking forward to some friendly rivalry and local derbies in the season ahead. I would like to wish you all, and your team all the best should it be confirmed tomorrow, because I'm sorry folks but you are going to need it!!! With 9 teams in the EL it was boring to say the least, weeks without meetings, teams with riders missing, and the blanket coverage of certain teams on the TV on Monday nights, made you feel like you had been watching those teams versus your team 9 or 10 times a season , so with one less this coming season OMG what fillers you will need Still you will hopefully have your NL team to ride the weeks you have no meetings, and obviously you will have the WTC. Good luck in the year ahead.

And just think 1% of that £100mil would save Ipswich Witches!!!
