Baldyman Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) The viewing at Ipswich is more or less perfect all around the track. It will just be down to where you will prefer to sit or stand. Edited July 28, 2013 by Baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Irving Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) I will be in ipswich on aug 1st, Never been to foxhall before, wheres the best viewing places?(weather permitting) Not sure there's a better stadium in the whole country for viewing than Foxhall. You can literally walk through the gate, and then walk around the entire stadium and have an excellent view of the track all the way around.

Steve Irving Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Err i think the Norfolk Arena & Peterboro are miles better,and the racings a damn sight better than Foxhole too.. #JustSaying Nonsense. Neither the Norfolk Arena or the Showground come even close to track viewing than Ipswich. Both tracks you mention, are widely regarded to be two of the best racing tracks in the country so few will disagree with your second point. That's not a slant on Ipswich, as since they widened the track and spent an awful lot of money doing so, they also now have an excellent race track too. You need to change your bait - wont even catch a tiddler with the current stuff. Maybe just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it even Glasgows better..there i've said it!! It's pretty blatant you're not just "expressing an opinion" as it's plainly obvious to be a dig at Ipswich after the fall out from the Ipswich Edinburgh meeting/thread. The viewing at Ipswich whether you like it or not, is second to none with it's raised terracing. Certainly the tracks you mention as being "better", don't even come remotely close.

Jonny the spud Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Adam Ellis was given a set of goggles by a Berwick sponsor as "Rider of the Night". He must now feel he will be able to get in amongst the big guns, guys like Dudek, Beck Jensen, Lebedevs, Zmarzlik and Milik, on August 10th in the World Under 21 Final at Berwick. Best of all, as the local fans seemed to take to him, he'll probably have the whole crowd cheering him on. Hmmmm. A 4,000 km + round trip ??? I think I'll go to that meeting.

Young51 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Oh ok sorry about that..Foxhole is brilliant,it's viewing is second to none.I'm not worthy so I should keep my 'opinions' to myself..dont think so somehow!When did you gain powers to read my mind and my intent?You can think what you like wee man ;-) but viewing is in the eye of the beholder or something like that lol.Nothing to do with any previous postings regarding the Ippo Twitchers whatsoever..

Come to think of it even Glasgows better..there i've said it!! Ok the I dont agree with your opinion. Kings Lynn vastly improved but still lacks the elevation of Foxhall from a viewing perspective and Peterborough is largely flat/no terracing on back straight and 3rd 4th bends from what I remember. There you go a proper answer assuming it was a genuine initial comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluPanther Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 All round viewing at Foxhall is very good, and the 2200 seater covered grandstand at the Showground is also superb and comfortable. Hard to miss anything at either venue IMO, and both have served up some great racing for me this year. Long may it continue... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 The changes made to the track at Foxhall took a lot of money, and an awful lot of effort to complete. It wasn't just shaving a bit off here and there, the inside line was moved in all the way around the track and by some distance on the corners. The difference that made to the racing at Foxhall has been huge and the promotion deserve enormous credit for that. I agree with blu, I've thoroughly enjoyed the racing at Foxhall this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardinalSin Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Went to Mildenhall yesterday and young Josh Bates was again very impressive. I know he understandably struggled when he got a PL chance earlier in the season, but he's very young and improving all the time. He also impressed at Foxhall when he guested a couple of months back. Possibly one to consider for next season especially if we need a 3 pointer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) As it's a general Ipswich topic and not one that's likely to be moved lets talk about team shuffling on here . My rider order would be 1 Ben 2 Morten 3 Leigh 4 Cam 5 Rohan 6 Adam 7 Ritchie But what are the odds of CL changing anything ?

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 It all depends on whether 'the management' actually think there is a real problem. From before the start of the season I had advocated Leigh at 3 and Rohan at 5 so I 100% agree with SBs order. In general team spirit this year seems much better than in many previous seasons so its far from all bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
