Sandie Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Ipswich speedway are running the Star of Anglia Thursday June 2nd, details and nearly complete lineup taken from Ipswichwitches.co: http://www.ipswichwi...ontent=FaceBook I know its a week away but at present Tyson Burmeister is still home in the USA and has extended his return date. This follows the sudden death of his father a couple of weeks ago. But if he's riding I may see if I can get the day off - I miss my annual visit to Ipswich. Also Jason Doyle is on the list - I guess he isn't expecting to be included in the Test series which is also on that night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Jason Doyle is on the list - I guess he isn't expecting to be included in the Test series which is also on that night! 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Witch Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 But if he's riding I may see if I can get the day off - I miss my annual visit to Ipswich. Nooooo! You can't come next week. I won't be there!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickthemuppet Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Should be a great meeting . I wonder what the gate will be like as so many people say they do not like individual meetings. . I think it will pull in a better crowd than an ordinary league meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmmaL Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Confirmed Line-Up - Jason Doyle Sam Masters Kevin Doolan Kozza Smith Ricky Wells (Replacing the injured Dakota North) Tyson Burmeister Leigh Lanham Jerran Hart Jordan Frampton Ritchie Hawkins Chris Schramm Taylor Poole Alex Davies Olly Allen Justin Sedgmen James Brundle Seems a decent, fairly even line-up for this individual meeting, put together very well by the Louis' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aljack Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Cant help "star of anglia" is a slightly overstated name for this meeting. Tell me where are the "stars" ??? Wells,Hart,Hawkins perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 SHould be interesting to see how some of our riders go on their own. Will doolan get heat one. Don't think He has won heat one for a while. It's hard to pick the winner though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLIGHTLY ROUND THE BEND Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Cant help "star of anglia" is a slightly overstated name for this meeting. Tell me where are the "stars" ??? Wells,Hart,Hawkins perhaps 6 past or present "Stars" plus 2 whose fathers are ex stars also so how many more do you want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aljack Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 6 past or present "Stars" plus 2 whose fathers are ex stars also so how many more do you want? Tell me SRTB who out of this super "star" line-up have won a meaningful meeting in their careers at any level, let alone at "star" level. I state my case, "star" meeting it is not. Lets see how many regular fans go tonight, that will show the "star" rating Dont get me wrong Im not knocking the super exciting premier league but just making a truthful observation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovey Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 SHould be interesting to see how some of our riders go on their own. Will doolan get heat one. Don't think He has won heat one for a while. It's hard to pick the winner though He won Heat 1 against Plymouth (Cameron Woodward). Apparently last week in Heat 1 he got hit in the face with a stone off the track! He thinks the rain must have brought some bits & pieces to the surface. Not sure what the official draw is. In the old days, John Berry used to seed it so that Louis, Olsen, Crump were in the 20th heat. It's an interesting line-up, with a chance for some of the lower order riders to grab a few scalps without the pressure of team racing. It seems the racing at Compost Corner last night was good quality, so let's hope this lot can do the same for us tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets see how many regular fans go tonight, that will show the "star" rating Dont get me wrong Im not knocking the super exciting premier league but just making a truthful observation The stars SRTB referred to are of the Compost Corner type. We haven't had many star riders at Foxhall for years - and as a team, the current Sackers Witches knock spots of the misfits who have disgraced the Witch (IMHO only a few exceptions). The context of the Star of Anglia has simply changed to a PL version ... The only way to see an individual with a similar level of quality as the original SoA is to go to a GP - I can't think of any of the old classic individual meetings that remain with full high-quality line-ups, eg. Laurels, Brandonapolis, Blue Riband, Pride of The East ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Tell me SRTB who out of this super "star" line-up have won a meaningful meeting in their careers at any level, let alone at "star" level. If they provide as much entertainment as a similar line up provided last night at Lynn then everyone will go home with a smile on their face and isn't that what it's about after all!! They're all stars in a speedways fans' eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndbendbeerhut Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) No Jason Doyle tonight, Joe Jacobs rides instead. Jason injured last night at Poole. Sam Masters would be a good outside bet. Don't know about "Doohan" though! Edited June 2, 2011 by 2ndbendbeerhut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 SO what xas doolan excuse tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aljack Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I must admit I never went to this meeting as I thought the "star" field all people got so excited about was not worth my hard earned money to watch. And after reading the heat details I can see I was right but having said that Joe Jacobs for Doyle was a master stroke 3 riders in the final races just added to the excitement I guess and also guess what Hart did not score a point but I bet he still was his usual arrogant poser self doing wheelies Never mind Cameron Heeps has arrived now its only a matter of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
