MrMungo Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Hope there's a bit more interest in Ipswich tonight than there is on here!

Super Blue Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I will be going to get my fix of speedway but the interest level is not quite what it was in this particular competition ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Updates available @ http://speedwayupdat...ay&thread=10843 As Ive said elsewhere its a meaningless meeting for 2 teams that are not good enough to make the top 6. Should be half price entrance fee but we know thats NEVER going to happen so will be lucky to get 500 paying fans tonight. I will be going to get my fix of speedway but the interest level is not quite what it was in this particular competition ! Well thats no surprise is it?

Whether theres 500 or 500 there tonight,one thing is clear to us all,you wont be one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aljack Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Its still a chance of some silverware!! Another egg cup for the collection eh Aljack? Correct!!!

Super Blue Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 A nice easy win in difficult conditions in the rain considering Taylor and Rohan both had off nights . Stefan looked seriously shaky in his first 2 rides but superb in his last 2 . This kid is talented but is a Scunny asset , lets hope we can get him on board in some way for next season !

He has already said he wants to ride for the Witches next season, so thats him and Heeps at reserve now for the other 5. Louis has at long last agreed with me and seen sense and has written that he wants a genuine no1 next season - hooray :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Great effort from both sides in difficult conditions. A better meeting than many run in perfect weather. Schrammy must have set a new record - paid 4 points without beating anyone that finished a race and had more falls than rides!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner47 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Fully expected an awful crowd tonight, was surprised by how many were there, certainly above (or around) break even figure. Cant see many tracks managing this for the "failures" cup. Allready looking forward to next Good Friday when we renew our rivalry with KL.

MrMungo Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 A nice easy win in difficult conditions in the rain considering Taylor and Rohan both had off nights . Stefan looked seriously shaky in his first 2 rides but superb in his last 2 . This kid is talented but is a Scunny asset , lets hope we can get him on board in some way for next season ! Clutch problems in his first 2, he told me. I won't pay too much attention to the asset situation. Riders generally ride for who they want to, not who owns their contract. Congrats to all 13 riders who all did well in very trying conditions. A decent crowd all things considered - a shade more than I was expecting given its "Egg Cup" status, and the dodgy weather. Impressive display from Ipswich - even with an off night for Tungate, Poole losing out a few times, and Risager suffering from bike issues, they still nearly hit 60. Good to catch up with LW, WvsH & Badge again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orderly Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Tweeted by Dakota North when asked why he was not in heat 15 v Sheffield makes you wonder what going on at Ippo dakota north@dakota_north @Sudden_sam33 thy couldn't afford to pay me if I got another win.

And you dont think it might have been tongue in cheek. About time Dak started getting maximums, shame it's too late for the League, hopefully he can get another in an important meeting. As for whats going on at Ippo? Everythings fine ta, unlike over the border at compost corner, not enough meetings, cant compete with the big boys, the only way they'll stay in the dreadfully diluted League is, if the BSPA give them another huge bung.

Bagpuss Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Could that chip on your shoulder get any bigger? I suggest you stop worrying about us and concentrate on your own team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chip on my shoulder Sir/Madam. But i reckon the Chapmans must be thinking of getting out. They dont want their Stadium empty, if they were back where they belong, there'd be big crowds until the end of the Month, play/offs, cup s/f's-finals. But the place is shut and they aren't earning any money. Doesn't need an accountant or brain surgeon to work out what league they'd be better off in, does it?? And from a purely selfish point of view, i want a Premier league with Ipswich, Kings Lynn and (if it ever happens) Norwich fighting it out for East Anglian supremacy.

Bagpuss Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I think the Chapmans are currently in a 'quality over quantity' mindset, seeing as they voted for 14 home meetings rather than 18 and opted out of the KOC. Difficult to judge crowd levels this year due to the dire weather and ten rain offs but last season (no rain offs) they were pretty healthy. In my opinion people had got bored of PL racing at Lynn and the move up was what the club needed, don't get me wrong the EL has plenty of issues but at the moment the top divison is the best place for the Stars. There are several NL fixtures to be run so people who want to see speedway can do over the next month. Also, again in my opinion, Mr Warnes' sponsorship levels would fall dramatically without EL exposure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
