Ipswich 2016

Thanks bruv. There's some pretty daming statistics there. But us 'whingers' are often told its all rosy in the garden.

Hi bash. It does look like things are not rosy, but maybe only team wise. We were once in the elite league winning it, then slowly working our way towards the bottom of the league, until we finished bottom. We then entered the premier league, we started okay with good looking teams, but couldn't capitalise into decent trophies. Then just like the elite league we have now started working our way towards the bottom of the premier league. I have no answers why this is happening again and from a few posts i have read on here it seems we may only have this season to endure untit things may change.

General question here. If we do finish say 9th or 10th in this league. Can anyone tell me the last time we finished this low down in the second tier? Presumably we would be talking early 60's or late 50's.

Ipswich finished 11th in 1969 in British League Division Two as it was known at the time.

I thought the rule was that once riders have signed on for the GP (presumably on the Friday) they are not permitted to ride elsewhere so Danny will have no choice and not be allowed to ride at Somerset if he signs on on the Friday.

 

i guess he would have to do a Chris Harris and forego the practice.

Let's hope so.

The lad deserved it.

 

Handled the conditions perfectly.

 

Disappointed for cookie but King made the right decision in the final.

 

 

Must admit I feel the same, would love to have seen Cook when we're down at Cardiff, but with his attitude riding at Belle Vue + new tuners I think he will have a real chance of qualifying next year. As you say though, King was really classy tonight.

Is this the confidence boost that Daniel needs to kick on? This result must also make him a starter in the world cup team. Let's go with youth and enthusiasm. King Cook Lambert and S Worrall. Surely we have nothing to lose.

Ipswich finished 11th in 1969 in British League Division Two as it was known at the time.

My first year of watching speedway when I went to Romford and in that season had the pleasure of seeing that Witches side that finished 11th, with the Bombers finishing runners up,

 

Just an aside on Danny King's British Final victory, does anyone know if the engine he used was the one that he was criticised for testing in the home match agains Glasgow?

 

Oh, just realised that I am not allowed to post on Ipswich threads anymoRe. ..
