Ipswich V Rye House 23.4.2015


Recommended Posts

Where do you sit when you come to Foxhall Shads ?

 

Myself and the Bald one are usually found in the back straight stand dead opposite the starting gate if you wish to venture round to say hello ?

 

Hope you're going somewhere nice and warm for your hols .

Dead centre of bends 1 & 2 top of terrace. Going to Sharm (3rd year running)

Shame about Steve Boxall, a win for the witches but maybe not by the twenty odd most are expecting. Clearly the group will be decided at Plymouth and i can't see anything but all four points going to Ipswich. Still a chance for Rye as best second place team but i would be concerned more about a very dodgy start to the League season

Lakeside website states Steve Boxall hopes to be fit for Friday night so could ride on Thursday.

I'll bet you he doesn't. Weigh it up from his point of view. Where would he earn more, Ipswich or Lakeside? That's just me being cynical Edited by Shads

At Ipswich probably. Although the EDR was set up with the intention of advancing 'up and coming' young British riders, its real purpose was to cut costs in running the EL. I believe the EDR system sets a fairly low pay scale.

Not much activity for this as it's tonight , the weather is good and looking forward to it .

 

For me the rr situation for Gino and Steve Boxhall could be crucial , I see an awful lot more points coming the Witches way than Rye's from this so a reasonably comfortable home win should be on the cards .

 

Will we see Danny's first defeat at Foxhall I wonder ? It's got to happen some time I suppose but hopefully not tonight .

Nikolai Jakobsen perhaps?

I will be Billy no mates tonight, so feel free to pop and say hello...preferably armed with a cup of tea (no sugar, tiny bit of milk), as I will find it difficult to get up there and back whilst texting.

 

I'll pay for it, so no worries there!

A good solid win fir the Witches with all bar Ritchie in fine form.

By my reckoning that turns around the race points difference meaning a draw or better needed at Plymouth to top the group.

A decent effort from the Rockets particularly early on. They certainly didnt just roll over.

And just for RocketBen note that if you take out the tac ride it was 'Witches by 20'!!

Generally pretty pleased with tonight's overall performance although the skippers form must still be as much of a concern to him as to the rest of us .

 

Shame Danny's unbeaten start to the season ended this evening but his determination to make amends for that in ht15 was clear for everyone to see .

 

Let's now see if we can finish the job at Plymouth tomorrow to qualify for the league cup semi finals . Its a pity we have to try and achieve that with 2 guests replacing Danny and Stefan but that's the curve ball our wonderfully run sport throw's at us I'm afraid !

We made Ipswich look good tonight. Rubbish guest in Edberg and RR for the fifth average rider is a disaster waiting to happen. The season crumbling before our eyes unless tough decisions are made.

Cant recall a worst guest than Edberg, First three races i think he did a total of five laps fourth ride just managed to do four laps before he was lapped. I'd rather watch Luke Chessell gaining experience. RR for Boxall was simply a disaster,some great effort from Branford but having to cover for RR and his fellow reserve was simply too much. Like it or not the reserves need to be replaced full time, we can't wait forever or we will have our worst start to the PL for a very long time. We did make Ipswich look good and after seeing them i don't think its a forgone conclusion that they will do the business at Plymouth. I hope that Boxall doesn't ride for Lakeside tonight as that would be a real kick in the teeth.

I have it on good authority that Luke won't be back and we've have had little or no news on Kaspers condition. We could be replacing both reserves, the guest route has been very hit and miss
