We won the cup last season , so that blows that statement out the water . Your posts on here seem to suggest you want the team you support to fail , very strange behaviour .

With a forecast dryish day tomorrow , hopefully we'll get to see some speedway at last . Our injury woes are well documented and are still without Lunna , Bewley and Perry . Kyle Newman comes into replace Nike ( i think ) which would mean r/r for Dan , and Liam Carr comes in for Tom . I believe Scunny are using r/r for Josh Auty ( no idea what's wrong with him ) , and are using Ryan McDonald as a guest at number 6 . We have to win this one to get back on track , but the performances of both Ryan Douglas and Lewis Kerr last Saturday should ensure a bit of entertainment . In all honesty our three heat leaders should be looking at a big pay day in this one , but nothing is guarenteed with us lately .

The cut off is the 17th i think , so presumably they can begin after that .

Because when you are at home you can use a rider who's average is 5% higher than the rider he is replacing .

Why does Tommy the tape toucher make Ipswich stronger ?

The CLRC is at Glasgow on Sunday 24th of this month .

The what ?

You keep your winning ways for Saturday young lady

You'll be in the Golf hotel then , I like that place

Leave room for the rain to lie

That would be your biggest winning margin of the season

I'm astonished haha

Not allowing Aussies to ride in our leagues is one of the daftest things I've read on here . Ok recently one or two have moaned and whinged and threw the toys out the pram , but we have one or two capable of that as well . The Aussies have brought so much to our sport since it's conception really , and we should embrace them rather than chase them away . There's not a club in the country who's history hasn't been enriched by Australian and New Zealand speedway riders .

I get a bad rep , truth of the matter is i'm a lightweight . I had 2 pints at the speedway last week , and that has been the norm at home this season . Ok away trips are a wee bit different , especially when me and Willie go away for 2 and 3 day trips , but the fixture list doesn't allow for too many of those now .

It's hard to keep interested when you're watching processional speedway and riders missing cause they're riding elsewhere . But I haven't yet reached the stage of not going , I enjoy the wee group I stand with every week at Glasgow and I still enjoy doing away trips .

You only get that kind of nonsense on facebook . " My beloved Glasgow Tigers " and all that kind of crap . On here it's a bit more realistic and down to earth . Even when Jenga starts up haha

And we haven't even had a KO Cup meeting this season yet . Just as well they scrapped the league cup or it would be Christmas dinner in the den followed by a double header with a dozen guests and r/r

Sorry to hear that mate , but I understand how you feel . This has been the most self destructive season I can ever remember .

it's ok , for some reason only known to yourself , you don't like Glasgow because the owners are rich and successful businessmen . And I know you don't support Sheffield , just anyone racing against Glasgow , that's fine too , enjoy your speedway .

These reunions are great ideas , we've had a couple in Paisley and it's great to see the old faces from the 70's that entertained us .

Braehead is the same . While it's hard to take on board ice hockey ideas in relation to speedway , they do a lot right while speedway struggles to grasp the concept of entertaining the public .

last week i enjoyed the sheffield result , did you ? maybe you may get revenge on ThURsDay . there

Probably pointless starting a thread for this as the forecast is pretty horrendous for Thursday , but in the off chance the weather forecasters have it wrong , it's a warm welcome to the Comets . We're in a mess , form has dipped , and we have a major injury crisis to the bottom end of the side . Perry and Lunna have no chance and Bewley must be in the extremely doubtful category . We only beat the Comets by 2 points earlier in the season , so they could come sniffing a victory . Cook , Proctor and Tommy the tape toucher can push our three heat leaders and after that it's anybodys guess depending on who we can rope in to cover . But all that might be irrelevent as i'm tipping the rain to win the day .

We're all very aware of that , but the governing body opened that Pandora's box and there's no reason to think they'll close it . So clubs have to try their best to work round it no matter how difficult that becomes . Sadly it will kill the sport eventually .

Would that be riders who thanks to doubling up are racing most nights of the week . Seems that particular Pandora's box is open until it contributes to killing the golden goose completely .
