Ipswich Vs Newcastle Monday May 5th 2.30pm


Recommended Posts

A decent meeting today that hotted up as the match wore on. Well done to the Ipswich promotion in booking two ambulances, which enabled both incidents to be sorted with minimal delays. Get well soon to both riders

 

Glad to see we are not the only promotion to think of both rider safety-in the first instance-and spectator satisfaction.

He'll come good.

 

Being only at Newcastle he kind of became a one track rider but don't worry he will soon develop a liking for Ipswich week in week out.

 

Got to say, as I said already on some thread, had Richie doing a number on us. Relieved he had an off day, but to Witches fans-stay with him cos he IS s..t hot.

 

Looking at this weekend I thought two points would have been realistic knowing we lacked Anton's services. Mind you, a two point homer and a loss at Foxhall was in my thoughts. Predict this bank holiday anybody?

Definition of Blue groove? Where i come from its a racing line that's slick and covered in covered in tyre rubber, which would make yesterday's inside line a blue groove also, but just not quite as bad as good Fridays.

Can I ask why you call Newcastle Newky, just curious?

 

Force of habit, back in the old days heard the term used "Newky Brown" for your Ale and it's just stuck, this has also been mentioned as a descript in another post so I'm glad that it still resides as a term so, Many Thanks to that man for bringing it up/validating it's use!! :D:t: thought for a minute I was being very "seventies"!! ;)

The 'blue groove' on Good Friday appeared at about heat 4 and there was very little outside it worth trying to use.

 

On Monday it didnt appear til about heat 12 and there was a definate outside option used to good effect on a number of occaisions.

 

 

That was the difference IMO. I think Mondays track prep was as good as is possible given the conditions.

It's just as easy to say that Ellis would have scored more than Perry.

 

Overall, it's not possible up predict - on another day the same teams would serve up a different result.

Richie had loaned Steve one of his engines!

 

Anyone who was there on Good Friday will know that yesterday's inside line was not a blue groove!

 

Not sure why you say no-one wanted to head to the outside, because there were some outside passes.

 

Attendance definitely short of Good Friday's turnout.

I know that as well but at least you had a 7 man team for most of the meeting

Of the 1st set the 2nd picture was Good Friday, but not that much difference really. Just think the on monday the outside was watered more so was more use-able, several passes made there but had to keep the run going. Also maybe could have been the Witches riders were prepared for the conditions this time?

The local's don't call it Newky. Brown. It's known as Dog in the Toon itself.

They not the only ones being sponsored by them though are they? (Andersen, Batchelor, Nicholls) many more in the past.

Maybe its that the current promotion don't want any "help" from local sponsors as they think they know best? :o

Maybe its because local sponsors wouldn't get value for money? :o

Or maybe Ipswich speedway haven't enquired? :o
