If it survives then conditions will be tricky that’s for sure! Still no word of a call off from official channels and it’s actually brightening up in town centre so who knows

“blue”?? They look black, grey and thundery to me but hey I ain’t a weatherman 😂

Well they’re talking nonsense. Nowhere near enough rain to call it off! BUT, the radar isn’t great on a couple of models from 5 onwards. Let’s hope they’re wrong.

Fair cop guv! Still, bit premature isn’t it? With all the tech nowadays you’d think weather forecasts would get more accurate, but they’ve actually got worse! They change hourly and I always think it’s better to wait until the morning of a meeting when you get a more accurate forecast for the day. BUT, I don’t live in Leicester and you’ve already said it’s rained heavily today. Maybe the damage has already been done I don’t know.

Just as well you’re racing tomorrow then not today 😉

Good choice from Lynn bringing Joe in around Leicester.

That never happens in speedway. Everything they are doing they follow through on. From the start of the year to now, there have been big improvements. It will keep getting better, especially for the fans.”

Well let’s be honest Mike he should be really or at least a paid max. He’s different gravy to anyone in the Ipswich team.

Weather looks iffy tomorrow. One to keep an eye on.

That’s exactly what he said last year on TNT when Abi was throwing viewers questions at him. He went on to say that’s why he hasn’t tried to add to his seven British titles because it was at the NSS. On a smaller track he’d have given it another bash.

And he also rode in 2010, the first season after the initial changes. Regardless, it’s a size and shape you’d hope he’d still do relatively well on. He admits himself he no longer has the pace for the bigger tracks, so if he can’t score relatively well around Foxhall then it’s time to call it a day.

Almost certainly won’t be a thumping like recent years for obvious reasons. The three wins at home so far have been by 10, 4, and 10 again. We’ll win the majority of home meetings this year, but not by huge margins. 48-42 for me.

Nicholls seems to have got things together in the Championship, now need to start seeing some of that translate on a track he knows better than anyone.

Who knows Taps but he has his big chance to impress here. If he does well, that will certainly give them something to think about. Might need to be quick though because he’s already catching the eye.

Think most of those would be open to offers, but more likely later in the season. It’s a tad early as they’ve all committed to leagues and fixtures elsewhere, but those fixtures dry up earlier than ours here so it may have to be a waiting game for a few more options to materialise.

Klima the guest at reserve. Interesting choice.

That maybe the case, but his average would 100% be his current Championship average converted. That’s his current and up to date average from this season. An average from last year whether that’s an official Premiership average or not, would not be used.

No. It would be his current championship average converted.

Think we’re way too past that now unfortunately. I’m checking out at just about the right time.

Absolutely NOTHING like it used to be let’s be real here. Some of these have now actually closed and only open on match days. The Town is a complete sh!thole that is a pale shadow of its old self, pure and simple. It won’t just be our town either, plenty just like it up and down the country. If you want a nice night out, go a bit further out to Woodbridge where it’s still relatively civilised and hasn’t been “diversified” yet.

Guess you’ve never been to Ipswich in recent times 🙄 unless you wanna vape or get your haircut in a Turkish fuc*ing barber then don’t even bother going in to “town”. Sh!thole. well done Labour.

Would be very surprised at that on current form. He’s prone to having a stinker now and then and maybe that could be today so it’s not impossible, but I’d be very surprised if he only has four rides and doesn’t make heat 15 on his current form. We’re going to need another double figure score from him today. He’s currently the most important rider in the team at the moment and the one we’re hanging our hat on. He’s been instrumental in us winning all but one of our fixtures to date. If he has a stinker, then we’ll probably lose.

He was excellent in the win away at Lynn also, but then very poor at Northampton as well as the two home fixtures. He’s incredibly inconsistent and frustratingly, he’s inconsistent during meetings not just meeting to meeting. He can have a couple of fantastic rides where you think he’s on it, then can run a couple of lasts of third places and look all at sea. Hawkins was singing his praises last year and tipping him to go to the very top and challenge Bewley and Lambert as top Brit in seasons to come, but the lad turns 25 this year so he needs to start getting a move on pronto. He’s not old no, but he isn’t some emerging 19/20 year old either he’s been around a while now and he needs to sort out the inconsistency in his riding. He looks miles off GP standard at the moment.

Want to see a much better home performance from Brennan today. 6, and 5 in the two home meetings so far nowhere near good enough.
