  1. It'll mean King available which guarantees Ipswich topping the Southern group table. Ipswich dodge another bullet after dubiously calling off the home meeting with Rye House when the Rockets were at full strength with a lunchtime light shower forecast and sun for the remainder of the day. Not the first time the Ipswich promotion have been underhand. I was at there when they brought the interval forward three heats to give Morten Risager time to work on his iffy bikes, then he pops out to three unbeaten rides.
  2. I have it on good authority that Luke won't be back and we've have had little or no news on Kaspers condition. We could be replacing both reserves, the guest route has been very hit and miss
  3. Depends on our choice of reserves and whether Steve Boxall is fit.Hope the award winning pie n peas are still available
  4. We made Ipswich look good tonight. Rubbish guest in Edberg and RR for the fifth average rider is a disaster waiting to happen. The season crumbling before our eyes unless tough decisions are made.
  5. The lack of updates on Kaspers condition is worrying.
  6. At least four, he's writing programme notes and centre green duties. Amazing energy for an OAP
  7. Between posting on various different FB & forum accounts I'm surprised he finds the time
  8. I'll bet you he doesn't. Weigh it up from his point of view. Where would he earn more, Ipswich or Lakeside? That's just me being cynical
  9. I felt more confident before Steve Boxalls injury. Rider replacement for him does us no favours whatsoever. Add to that doubts over how long Kasper Lykke will be out with his knee injury
  10. Dead centre of bends 1 & 2 top of terrace. Going to Sharm (3rd year running)
  11. Thanks for the info. As it happens, the Golfs menu is almost identical to that of the Rye House pub next to the track. On a weight loss drive for our hols in a few days, so fish & chips is a no no
  12. Don't disagree that we'll lose, but below 30 points? Any locals know of a pub near the track that serves decent food and open all day?
  13. I was more confident before Steve Boxalls injury. Unsure if he'll be fit for the meeting. Choice of reserve guests will be crucial. Think Baldyman is about right on the points.
  14. Got better with every race at Rye on Saturday
  15. Davids girlfriend said that he had a very sore leg this morning and that they were going to hospital to get it checked out
  16. We were in the Rye pub when we heard about the air ambulance. You always think the worst (head/spinal injuries). Thankfully it's not as serious as that
  17. I remember after Ricky's crash at Scunny, Rob Godfrey was in tears announcing from the centre green. The meeting was abandoned and Ricky was in the ambulance and away from the stadium within 10 minutes of the incident. We knew then it was serious, but had no idea how much so..... In contrast, after Stuart Robson had smashed into the Mildenhall solid fence in 2007, we stood and watched from the back straight grass bank for over an hour as he was tended to by medical staff. He was still lying motionless on the track as we left West Row. It was only later we learned he'd shattered his pelvis. Moments like that realise what a dangerous sport this is, yet Robbo and his like still carry on despite the risks involved.
  18. Yes, that's how I remember it..... Didn't bother to say it on my updates as I didn't think it mattered in the circumstances and I was still in shock.
  19. Looked like he found too much grip coming out of bend 4 and clipped the catch fence in front of the main stand which made him somersault over his handlebars. Bellego couldn't avoid and rode into him
