Baldyman Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 And how does this work, normal points scoring or overall total of race points? Think Edinburgh will win with us second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 So we already need to get a point there too, or even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) And how does this work, normal points scoring or overall total of race points? Think Edinburgh will win with us second. Don't think so. Too many Monarchs have gone off the boil and are very inconsistent Cookie's form has masked this for a while. Think Ippo are massive favourites for the group. But expect Somerzet to triumph overall. Edited September 24, 2013 by TheScotsman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Don't think so.

Its amazing how opinions differ on how ones team is likely to perform . Agree about Zummerzet winning the playoffs but you're kidding yourself about our group . To me Eddyburgh must be clear favourites by the proverbial country mile , the Witches have hardly been in scintillating form recently with one or two riders definitely showing end of season tiredness . Much as I would love to be proved wrong I predict the Rabbles beating the Monarchs in the final . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud to have been a witches supporter this year. Roll on 2014 Totally agree -Ive really enjoyed this year until this last week! Gutted about the way matters have ended and I dont just mean not picking up a trophy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Sad way to end the season especially for all the injured riders ! We can only wish them all the best in their recoveries and return meaner and leaner asap ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalSin Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Got to feel a little for Chris Louis too. These play off meetings were meant to be a bit of a money spinner for the club with bumper attendances. Now on Thursday against Edinburgh, it will be an Ipswich select side in a now meaningless meeting for the club with a damp weather forecast to boot! Could be a case of spot the supporter on Thursday which is a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a shame as no one stops riding unless they really have to, just look at Ben's comebacks this year after some horrendous crashes. I know that Adam actually put off having his wrist plastered for several days and has since looked into removing it after a week to try out and see if he can hold on, these guys just don't want to let the team down so for the fans not to show up would be a bit demoralising for the riders that are able to be there . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bezza Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Just looking further ahead, I don't foresee the Witches management waiting until 24th October to stage the 16 Lapper and our final fix of the year. I reckon they will bring this forward as opposed to find a meaningless challenge fixture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Yeah, get the season finished off early and start planning for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Yeah, get the season finished off early and start planning for next season. Its not like they need to put on extra meetings to cover season ticket promises. I can see an April start and early October finish becoming the norm in the future with only 20 meetings each year.

Baldyman Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Was gonna say it didn't exactly look like a money spinner last week. Maybe only if you reached the final would it have put an extra 100 or so on the gate. Are the play off matches included in season tickets?

CardinalSin Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Well they SHOULD have been money spinners and they normally are elsewhere. If the club can't attract a good crowd for a play off meetings that decide league champions, then maybe the passion for Speedway in Ipswich is at an all time low these days. Sad.

CardinalSin Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Just looking at the greensheets from the 1st October, Cameron Heeps now has an average of 6.74, up from his starting average of 4.40. That's a stunning effort when you consider he went from reserve to the difficult number 2 position mid season, and has battled against a troublesome hand injury for what seems like most of the year, which will require surgery in the Winter. If he doesn't sweep the end of season awards in a few weeks I'll want a stewards inquiry!! also interesting average for Klindt, our guest on Thursday. When Chris Louis said at the end of last season that we would have a big hitting out and out number 1 for this season, Klindt was the favourite with most Ipswich fans on here with a few preferring him over Barker. Then he would have had a pretty hefty starting average, now he has an average of just 6.93. I know he's been inconsistent, and a pure gater rather than a racer, but on that average he'd certainly be in my PL team. He loves riding Foxhall and having the odd gater in your team is never a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travertine Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) ............ If he doesn't sweep the end of season awards in a few weeks I'll want a stewards inquiry!! ............ Ritchie might give him a run for his money - I've a lot of respect for what he's acheived this season.

Baldyman Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Both cam and Ritchie have been brilliant, and along with klindt would be a must for me for next season. Klindt in, morten out, makes perfect sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Ritchie might give him a run for his money - I've a lot of respect for what he's acheived this season. Not even close for me. Hawkins has done well recently, but he took an awful long time to get going and to be honest, looked woeful for a couple of months. Where as Heeps has been consistently good all season long. Klindt in, morten out, makes perfect sense to me. Agreed. On similar averages too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
