Al Stewart Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 You Ipswich fans better be nice to Adam Ellis, I've seen some of the moaning on here! I said to him when I walked past him tonight that he could ride at Armadale every week. He said he'd love to! Any more moaning and I'm sure we could get him to put in a transfer request. it's not really fair to set up a rivalry between Ellis and Fricke. They are both great prospects. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotchopper Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Ellis was fantastic, not only beat Max 3 times he comfortably beat sneddon twice and scored a great 5-1 against pijper who at times (not tonight) has been unbeatable at the dale. His only failure was ht 9 when he made a great start and was heading for the lead when lanham blocked him down the back straight and sent him to the back. A reserve last in ht15 is no disgrace. He did get a little lucky in ht2, Max was beating him before Richie brought down sargeant and he turned it around in the rerun Strange night for the monarchs summed up by cookie finishing last in ht1 (is that his first 0 at the dale this season?), untouchable after that including a new track record. Risager took offence to him trying to slow the races in ht15 as well. Wins a win and gives us something to fight for but one or two can do better.

SCOTLAND1314 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Barker tweeted overnight: "nothing broken, just ligament #luckyboy" Good to hear that nothing is broken the lad looked in pain from where I was standing. Hopefully the injury heals soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipswich Jules Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Barker has been x-rayed and there are no breaks or fractures, it's "just" ligament damage so hopefully he will make a speedy recovery. Pretty pleased with a 6 point gap, sets up the return leg brilliantly in what should be a nail biter. Man of the meeting for us is obviosuly Ellis and has kept us in the cup to be honest. You Ipswich fans better be nice to Adam Ellis, I've seen some of the moaning on here! I said to him when I walked past him tonight that he could ride at Armadale every week. He said he'd love to! Any more moaning and I'm sure we could get him to put in a transfer request. Adam is a Lakeside asset so I don't see why Ipswich would be involved?

Roland Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Lets hope Bens knee gets better very quickly. Is it the same one he hurt at best pairs on the grass bank behind the pits? He has said its 'just' ligament problems, speaking from personal experience with one completely wrecked knee, he needs to sort properly. If this is on-going needs top help because he's only young and is going to need strong knees to progress his career. Over and out!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
